i know my house is haunted what do i do?

The best way to have them leave is to understand what they really are. You cannot fight what you do not know. I know of what you describe...I have a friend who has had this experience several times, even to the point of being choked by it. Each and every time this has happened to him it was made to go by the authority found in Jesus Christ. This is a demon and I for one would not like it staying in my home. If you are a spiritually mature born-again Christian, this authority is rightfully yours to use. If not, my advice is for you to find an experienced ministry that understands what is really going on in your home. There may be a reason it is able to be there...or it may have been there before you moved in...either way it can be dealt with through Jesus.

next time you have an experience with this "unknown thing" very firmly tell them they have to leave. that it is your house and not theirs. dont ask it to leave, TELL IT!

Not everybody has the right to tell it that. You're setting them up for failure in that wording.

I strongly disagree!! Since it is very probable that the 'vision' is not real - that is: there is no such thing as spirits in the first place - the act of confronting what you think is a spirit with a demand to leave is a psychological act: a strong one toward reclaiming control of your life. If you let others, such as a person who claims to be able to rid your house or your life of demons, enter your life, and gain control of your life, you then have a greater problem than any 'spirit'. The historical record of charlatans in the business of defrauding vulnerable and unsuspecting marks is long and illustrious. The historical record of PROVEN spiritual hauntings = ZERO. Best advice anyone can give: "GET REAL".

Get real is good advice . Especially if you are highly informed and up to date on it.

From what research or education did you find proof that spirits or ghosts or demons or whatever name is you choose to call them , do not exist ?

Making demands of your antagonist and reclaiming your life can be effective in many ways including being strictly psychological .

Phonies , hacks , quacks , charlatans, con men and others have preyed upon the masses all through history and done so in the guise of fortune tellers, prophets, doctors, teachers , ghost busters and on and on and on.

The record of proven "haunting " , possessions , paranormal activity, call it what you will is long and documented by universities , well respected and highly educated members of the various seminaries and various clergies and members of the scientific communities all over the world will disagree with you.

The Exorcist story that Blatty wrote is based on a case documented by Doctors, professors from the local university, all of the priests and their assistants that took part in it , family members and friends and employees of the family and others ,and sworn by all to be a true and accurate accounting of the events.
And of course it was altered for movie , the child was male and did not kill anyone , but did speak in languages that he did not know or even heard in his 8 years on Earth and that was just the start of an ordeal that lasted months not weeks as the movie portrayed.

A Texas university documented the events of a woman who was beaten and sexually assaulted by unseen and unknown entities in the presence of her family , the police, the researchers from the university and her boyfriend and the doctors who treated her.

And the list started with the earliest man and continues today.

For you make the statement there are none, demonstrates your lack of actually looking into it yourself and believing the skeptics and debunkers who have as many charlatans among them as any group.

I have experienced the paranormal myself and my greatest wish is to be able to take some of the people like you (not implying anything negative) but who are so convinced it is not real , and experience what I and others did .

I was a skeptic and doubted things like ghosts existed and all could be explained if researched well. It cannot.

I don't care who believes me or not. I know what I experienced , saw, and witnessed is unbelievable , But it happened.

I understand that you've had 'sightings' -- I have too. But sometime after the sighting I came to understand that my event could be explained in psychological terms, and that there was no evidence to prove the existance of the the 'ghost' I saw. Personal observations are the LEAST reliable (as has been proven in court cases over and over again). Also, When having a sighting, we 'freak' over it - which includes the release of ADRENALIN in large quantities into our blood stream. Note that adrenalin breaks down immediately into many chemical signals (pentapeptides = look them up!) including 'enkhephalin' (spelling?) a pain killer 1000 times more powerful than morphene. The overall effect of the adrenalin release is to make 'sightings' far less reliable - and often introduce delusions.
Bottom line: personal sightings can not be counted as good 'evidence' of paranormal events for this (and other reasons, such as possibility of hoaxing.)
Note that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof". Also be certain that the burden of proof for any claim lies with the claimant. For you (anyone) to say, "You can't disprove ghosts," is not helpful to get us down the path of TRUE KNOWLEDGE. If you (anyone) claims that there are spirits, then you have to supply the proof.
SO: let's get specific. Your info about the Exorcist incident - unknown to me much beyond the movie. But I'll try to do some research on that one incident. Do you have detail info on it? such as Names, affidavits, other 'not-subjective' evidence, such as film, or artifacts?

Yes, some experiences CAN be explained way...and it is hard to PROVE spiritual manifestations...mainly because you're always going to have somebody somewhere that simply doesn't believe the proof offered. What it really comes down to is the individual experience. There are some things people go through where they KNOW they just experienced something paranormal. It's the same as Christianity...I've had that born again experience...there is nothing anybody could ever say that could convince me otherwise that the God of the Bible is not real and true. Can I prove God to someone, usually no, because it is an individual walk and experience...but due to the things I have experienced I know it is real. People all too often are trying to mix spirituality and science, which don't really mix as we cannot measure spiritual manifestations according to our natural laws...they operate beyond that. Telling the OP to "get real" does not help there situation at all.

Sorry - I only know the 'known' universe....as far as can be told, there is no other. I have to have real world proof. Read Descartes. It used to be that everyone knew that the earth was flat, stationary, and at the center of things. To say different would get you killed! Of course they were all wrong. Would you take medicine that had not been tested with 'scientific' methods? No one would if they knew what they were about. Same should apply to ALL 'known' facts. I do that in my world.
