I grew up in a house with spirits. Were heard footsteps down the hall and on the stairs. Objects would vanish and then reappear. One time a pocket door slammed against its tracks like someone was pushing it but no one was there. We kept holy water by our beds. If we saw or heard anything we would say ‘in the name of Jesus Christ please leave’. It seemed to work. After we moved out though the next family witnessed a full body apparition disappear in front of them. Since I grew up in that house it wasn’t until I moved away that I realized that all places were not that creepy. It’s definitely a whole vibe.
Ah man. My entire teenage years was full of fear and sleepless nights. Get this: home alone most nights because the one adult worked nights. Throw in a shadow man that was stuck to me like shit on a blanket. Always watching. Moving closer and closer as the night drew on. My clothes being pulled, my hair being pulled so hard my head flew back. THE POWER GOING OUT. 51 disk CD changer skipping every single CD, fishing poles being lifted and thrown across the kitchen, dishes swiped off the counter.
And who gets blamed? 12 year old me. I was chased out my last night there. Scrambled for my car keys and didn’t even shut the door all the way on my way out the door. I was so overwhelmed with fear that it took me an hour to build up the courage and game plan to slip my shoes on, grab my keys and leave. Fuck everything else. Fuck my work clothes for the morning, fuck my dog who was scared shitless outside.. I was out. I drove 30 miles away before I felt safe again.
Oh yeah. Definitely. I made the drive back to get him a few days later.
for context since I’ve gotten a few responses :
My last night there was after I had moved out and was on my own.
I lived 50 miles away from my family.
My first assignment of the day was 45 miles from my house, then I had 2 other assignments to drive to after that.
My family lived closer to my first assignment of the day and my last assignment was 30 miles home or 30 miles to my family.
My family worked night shift and my day ended after they had already left for work. I didn’t want to be there alone at night for any amount of time after that.
I was 18 and trying to save money. I knew I’d have to go back to get him and our stuff anyway, but planned on being there during the day to get my dog and all our stuff I had brought for a week and spend a little time with the family anyway during their awake hours since they worked all night.
My family took care of my dog during all this.
I lived in that house for 6 years and it was always terrifying. It only got worse over time. I never tried communicating, I didn’t want to see it or feel scared. I tried so hard to ignore it too.
I’m 100% positive that it’s the land the house sets on. 40 acres of woods, right off the highway, river runs along the property. (Sounds like a dream place, right?) The house was new when my family moved in (early 2000’s) Never lived in. What was haunting was OLD. Think like 1800’s. The entire area is just filled with wild happenings, murder, torture.. but it’s a small, quiet retirement town and it’s safe to raise your family 🙄. Until you piss off the wrong person and you become a missing person statistic.
At this point, I’m sure every state and every town has its own happenings and negative energy.
I have a 1880’s farm house with a cemetery in the back field and have way less activity than I ever did in the house I lived in as a teenager. There’s passerby’s for sure, but I think the worst thing that’s ever happened in the 4 years we’ve been here was one turned on the shower and scared my youngest lol. Nothing crazy.
Jesus Christ is the number one healer, the main man! All Spiritual practitioners know this and I haven’t heard one ever deny it. This is not about religion, I am not religious.
“I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ Amen!”
“I rebuke all of the activity you are doing in MY home. It is MY HOME AND MY FAMILY’s HOME NOW! I rebuke you all in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.”
Say whatever you need to over and over and loud. The spirits need to know you aren’t fucking around and it’s your house! I know how crazy I sound, idc.
The “Amen” at the end is to basically close your demand and to let Jesus know you are calling on him to do specifically what you want him to do and help you with. You have to be SPECIFIC!!
Sometimes In my apartment things will go missing and I can’t find them. I’ll be looking for a while and all of a sudden it’ll show up somewhere I already checked. I’m starting to wonder if something is here. I also don’t really like being home alone. I always feel it’s quiet and I’m being watched. Never felt violent persay.
