In regards to your aunt...some people are like that. She may simply believe that by talking about you are giving power to it. It is actually very common amongst religious people. I work with an individual that has spirit activity in his home but refuses to acknowledge it or talk about for fear of it becoming more of a reality to him. Let me just say this...ignoring something does not make it go away.
If I can also make this note about being a Christian. Going to church doesn't make you one...praying doesn't make you one...believing that God exists does not make you one....baptism does not make you one. Being a Christian means that you have given your life and heart to the will of Jesus Christ. It means allowing His work at the cross to cleanse you of your sins (and we ALL have sinned).
In the book of James we are enlightened by this verse..."You believe there is only one God. You do well! But even the demons believe that...and tremble!"
You see, it's not exactly what we believe...it's what we believe and LIVE. Demons are not good...yet they too believe in God. My point is this...protection and even authority is offered to people over situations such as yours...but there is a catch. It is for those that are covered by the name of Jesus...those washed by His blood and forgiven of their sins. Whether a spirit is following you because of something you did or something that was in your family has less to do with whether you give it a right to be there or not. Spirits operate by laws just as we are bound by physical laws here on earth. Right now, this spirit has nothing keeping it away from you.
I'm not telling you to confront it, because I would only really recommend that to someone who understands who they are as a child of God. I do recommend that you speak with a local church though. I typically recommend the Full Gospel churches. Most likely you are going to need a spiritually mature Christian to come to your home and pray over it AND you. Not a blessing...but a different type of prayer altogether. Take away the right for that spirit to be there and you will then strip it of it's authority over you.
