I rent a home and have been there for one year now. I have never had any problems until about 4 months ago is when I started to notice things. It started with noises in my home at night when I was in bed, asleep or laying in bed watching TV. The noises would come from the living room or kitchen. I did not really pay any mind to them and just assumed they were the house making noises. Then about two months ago things started to fall in the other rooms at night once again. Not every night but maybe 3 or 4 nights a week. When I say things falling it would be the dishes in the strainer (2 glasses and a bowl broke into the sink), drinks falling over in the fridge, and random things in the living room. This bothered me I would think someone was in my house and get my gun and search my home. But every time I found nothing just the things that had fallen, but all the doors and windows still secure. I still had not considered a demon or anything evil. Then about two weeks ago things got real bad. I was sleeping in my bed and about 0215hrs I woke up terrified. I jumped out of bed from a dead sleep and grabbed my gun. I just stood in my room frozen for about 5mins and waited to hear anything. I then searched my home and I found nothing that I could see. But I could feel a presence something horrible that I couldn't stand. I left my home and went to my firehouse and sleep there for the night. Then 3 nights ago I was laying in bed awake I had not gone to sleep yet. I once again was striken with this feeling like someone was in the room, however once again I couldn't see anything. The feeling went away after about 5mins. Last night was the worst I have felt yet. Same as the other two times I got that feeling. However this time I was up and not in bed I was folding clothes. I then felt someone behind me. I turned and could see nothing but as I was looking I felt a breath on the back of my neck it was not cold not hot just a breath like the wind. I walked into the living room and my bedroom door slowly shut I was terrified! I waled outside and did not go back inside for an hour. I was so afraid I did not sleep at all last night. I am 25 years old and have never had any experience with this except once when I was around 10 years old. Can someone please help me and tell me what is going on and help me deal with this. I don't know what to do.

I had a friend who got a shaman friend to do some rituals for their apartment that was possessed.

Depending on your beliefs you can get a priest, minister, shaman or other religious figure to help you out.

Good luck and hopefully you are able to find someone who can help you.

[firefightertw24]

Thanks for your response mogrann. I am christian an believe in God, I have been praying about this situation. I don't go to church so I'm afraid to go to a priest and tell them I think they will laugh at me and call me crazy.

You should immediately call someone who has some experience of communicating with apparitions. In our muslim world, we call saints (equivalent to your preasts) who recite the holy verses. We sprinkle holy water in the four corners of the house. Tell you what, sometimes these are apparitions of dead people who stayed behiind in this house. They won't harm you physically. May be they are not happy with u, or any action that you might have taken against the house( I mean about setting, furniture, or may be lawn). Try to preserve the current status of the house. No paint, no extra decore and overhauling. I hope you understand. Apparitions are a reality and we should respect the place and the dwellers.

[firefightertw24]

Thanks for the quick post adzilla. I won't do anything to the house. The other thing is that I'm a firefighter and have been since I was 16 years old. I have seen a lot of people die in my hands and people I couldn't save. I wonder if it could be someone or something from that.

Firefighterw24, are you a veteran?

[firefightertw24]

Parttime I have not served in the military. I am considered a veteran in the firedepartment I currently serve as a captain and have been an officer in the firedepartment for the past 6 years. But as far as military goes no I have not served.

From what you say I would ask priest to give you and your home a blessing. They deal with this sort of thing and do take it seriously.
I have had dealings personally with this type of thing and would recommend you not ignore it.
You really don't have to go into detail when you talk to the priest, just ask for a blessing on your house and yourself.

Please keep us informed of what is happening.

[adzilla]

Yes this might be a case that you tried to rescue someone and that person didn't survive. So the apparition of that person might be attached with u. this might not be anything serious as certain apparitions just toy us and they play with us. I hope you don't get any harm later on. Try to change that house and move to some other place. If this such thing doesn't happen again then that means it's a haunted house, and the apparition is not attached to u

Thanks for the answer. Is there any type of priest I should ask any specefic relgion or type of church? How did you deal with your problems? I will deffently keep you updated. It's nice to be able to talk to someone because my friend thinks I'm crazy.

[mogrann]

Is there a religion you are more comfortable with... I would think if there is that would be who you would want to talk to. Many religions believe in ghosts and demons so I don't think you would have to worry about being made fun at.

Thanks for the answer. There is one call that has always stuck with me and never left my head and it bothers me to this day and it happened 2 years ago. It was a 17yo girl who crashed and had died but I did cpr and brought her back but then she died for good the 2nd time. It really makes me wonder if it is her. Also can these things do harm to you physically?

I have to ask have you done any investigation of this on your own? Like make sure you look for evidence of rodents anywhere. Maybe leave a tape recorder on or a video camera. If it is happening frequently then you should be able to catch something and that can explain it away or prove what your saying.

[martinizing2]

Go with whichever you are most comfortable with.
Most of the churches are happy to to come over and give a blessing.
Talk to one or two in your area and see what they say.

I have had people I know go through similar experiences.
They both had a Catholic priests bless their houses , because they were Catholic.
I don't think being a member of the particular church is required, I know of several non-Catholics that had their houses blessed by priests just for the asking.

I have friends think I'm crazy too.
I know what I know. Even if it sounds crazy.

Keep in touch

[martinizing2]

This is a very good idea. If you can, try this , it can help explain a lot at times.

Well I have looked for evidence like any rodents and have never found anything like that. But I'm wondering what evidence I can get with the feelings I get when its around and watching the door close right in front of me. But I will try a tape this.

[jackeyvo]

I reccomand having partner living with you and rent a apartment I know this is off topic but it's a good idea

Firefighterw24... you are not crazy. This is more common than you likely believe. Many people experience such things and either take care of it right away, or they don't know how to take care of it so they live with it due to fear of being viewed as crazy. You say you are a christian... if by that you mean you have accepted Jesus as your persona savior and invited Him to come into your heart as Lord, then you can take care of this yourself. Simply go through your home, speaking outloud... "I bind every unclean spirit and command you gone to the cross never to return IN THE NAME OF JESUS." To every biblical christian Jesus gives His authority to use over demons (which is what you are dealing with), it is absolute. If you are not a christian as I describe, either become one, or you can go to www.ministeringdeliverance.com and seek help there. They will try to connect you with someone in your area. Good luck to you.

I think you made a good post here.
I usually try a slower approach and have the people do some investigation into other things that very often are the cause and not a paranormal event.
But if it comes down to no other explanation I agree that the higher power is brought in.
But this can be dangerous. You are dealing with angels cast from Gods presence. They are not just evil, they are powerful, intelligent, cunning,and filled with a hatred that is unimaginable.
I have experienced this first hand and it is never entered into lightly. And as a last resort only.

I have a question on the link you mentioned.
Do they charge for their help or ask for any type of mandentory donation?
I get the impression they don't for some reason, but I have monumental issues with people or organizations that try to get financial gain from others misfortunes ,and have yet to see one that wants money , that knows anything of real value or way to help.
I am impressed with your faith and so far... hope you stick around.

I wish you well

[Donius]

Thank you Martinizing2. You raise a very good question. No, the site I referenced above does not charge or expect donations. In fact they feel much the same as you. I personally have been ministering for many years and have NEVER accepted "payment" or monitary gifts for services rendered.

I also agree with your analysis of demons with one exception... Spirit filled followers of Jesus need have NO FEAR of them... all others should indeed be aware that they are dealing with powerful evil creatures. I do not want to overstep the intent of this forum, so I will leave it there.

Thank you again.
