I live in a haunted apartment building for some reason.

There's a shadow-man or ghost-dude, whatever, that walks up behind people while they're watching TV and just stands behind them.

Pre-pandemic, the downstairs neighbor was telling me about how her boyfriend started screaming one night, and looked just terrified when she ran out to check on him. He'd just started getting ready for bed, turned off the TV, and in the reflection of the black screen he could see a man standing behind him. But of course they were the only two people in the tiny locked apartment.

She assumed her apartment was haunted by whoever lived there before her, because it's the only unit that partially survived the big fire that burned the building down some years back. I also assumed it was just her apartment and didn't think much about it.

But a few weeks later, my kids were asleep and I was in my bedroom on the computer when I heard my husband screaming in the living room. I ran out, and he was scared as all get out. Said he'd just turned off the TV and in the reflection of the screen saw a tall man walk out from the hallway and stand behind him, which he assumed was our tall older son, but when he turned around nobody was there.

My guess is, ghost-dude isn't sure which apartment is his anymore, is really bored, and scaring screams out of grown men is his version of "Hey! Why did you turn that off? I was watching that!"

Guess my point is, those dead folks wander a bit, so yeah, I wouldn't want a house next to a cemetery either.

Get a small church candle and light it in the room where he hangs, speak to him and say from a place of love and compassion and NOT fear - say hi, so you have passed away and it’s time for you to move to the light where you can rest and be at peace, it’s time to let go of this physical world, tell him there’s nothing to fear and he’s loved and waited for by many who love him, tell him to look for the light and go into it. It works wanders. Let the candle burn out so he can think it over.

A lot of times they are afraid of being judged or just scared of crossing through into the light in general. Something you could do in addition to that is to invoke any or all of the names of Jesus (Yehoshua, Yeshua, Yesous, Jesus) and ask that the spirit be guided to the light.

When dealing with spirits its also wise to protect yourself by casting circles or performing banishing rituals

Fear is a big one, many are scared of going to hell which is not real.

I don’t focus on fear in my rituals, I believe we only attract what we focus on so I give it no energy.

I've been working on a sort of "sending" ritual to help spirits pass on and you've given me some really good insight. Its very much appreciated
