These manifestations are a lot more common than you think, even the sexual assaults. Yes, to cut right to the chase these activities are from demonic spirits. It's probably the same spirit which was masquerading as your brother's spirit. Most people will not be able to tell you why now all of a sudden these things are happening the way they are, but the fact is that they are.

Your brother wasn't into any alternative religions was he? Any involvement into the occult? Was there ever a time after his passing that someone tried to contact him in the afterlife? Odd questions I know, but stuff like this might shed light onto why something is in your home to begin with.

I think we all know at this point that life isn't always fair... and why some people have to deal with demonic assaults and others never do is just one of those thing we may deal with in our lives. But here you are, having spiritual manifestations in your home. My advice is this... you really have three options. You can move, with no guarantees it won't follow you. You can stay there and put up with it. You can learn to stand against it and have it removed from you lives. Of course the third option sounds the best, however that one comes with the possibility of life changing decisions being made. Unfortunately it sounds like you're in a tough spot. Just know myself and others are here to help in any way we can. If you want advice on what to do to get rid of this problem I would be more than happy to help you.
