Evil spirit in my house

There is no scientific evidence for this as well. In order for us to manage our mental illness we should stick to what is rational.

Over the past 2 years, I have also felt a presence. I have moved a few times and its almost like it follows me.
I was renting a room in a large house with a lot of roommates. Although I kept my room locked while I was in my room, from time to time I felt a very high energy shoving my body in the middle of my sleep. It would always wake me up. I almost felt like this spirit was trying to kick out my own spirit and possibly take over. Each time I was 'shoved' in my sleep, I would look around thinking one of my roommates was in my room, but they never were. Sometimes this shoving would also occur when I was awake watching TV.

In the last home I lived in, I often felt a strong breeze on me when I was trying to sleep. I know it was not due to the fan, because the breeze would brush me harder than the fan was even blowing and at the wrong angle as well.

Sometimes in the bathroom, a large bang would jolt me. It seemed to be coming from under the home.

My cats would also go nuts sometimes as well. Perhaps I was being stalked or perhaps it was the evil spirit that followed me.

Sometimes I wonder if a spirit overtakes my body, especially when I am overcome with another mental break down. I do know my true , authentic self is not like that. When I am overcome during a breakdown, I feel like a completely different person.

Back in another state, I was married to my second husband who made my life a living hell. Constantly telling me to send my kids back to their own dad, because he didn't want them. My mental illness just kept getting worse and worse and one day I had had enough. I was washing dishes and something foreign in me snapped. I broke a dish in the sink and calmly went upstairs to pack. I was in a weird daze, feeling numb and almost like I was on autopilot. I got in the car and headed to a hotel. While driving, I began to curse, but it was not my normal voice that came out. It is indescribable. I felt like I was being almost maneuvered like a puppet on a string. I made it to the hotel and attempted on my life. I cannot believe I did that . My poor children all I wanted was a happy family and here I had a husband making our lives hell. I don't know what overtook me that day, but I can say it was not natural. Not with how my voice was and the things spewing from my mouth. I'm not all too sure why I even remember that voice which was not mine.

I've had a few more attempts on my life and all of them felt similar in nature. Me doing things I would never dream of doing.

I've often wondered about evil spirits battling for my soul. I wonder.....I really wonder.

You are not alone with this eerie situation.

I've also had the feelings of not only being shoved, but also have had the experience of feeling my arms, body and face being touched. It is unnerving to say the least.

I hope your situation gets better for you. Hugs

I am sorry but this is a delusion or even maybe a psychosis.

I have had experiences like this but I can see now that they were just reflections of my own paranoia and ill health. Someone used to visit me in the night and scare me (I am a 41 year old man, btw!). When I was ready I confronted it and just laughed at it and said over and over 'I know you don't exist, I know you are just an hallucination'

It stopped and has stayed stopped for years now.

You are safe.
You will not come to harm.
This thing is not real.

Maybe the spirit is an Earthbound sad presence and that's why the air feels weighed down. Try asking what it want/ needs. It really could be that simple. Think of it as a very sad soul needing comfort.

"Rational" is as individual as finger prints. And, yes, there is scientific evidence.

I live in a spiritualist community. What you are experiencing is a really thing. Smudging is a way of bandaging the issue temporarily. This spirit may not necessarily be evil, you just may be a sensitive and you are experiencing the pain or emotions of the spirit that is in your house. There are several paths you can take to remove the spirit from your home. Everything is based on intention. So when you are smudging for the time being make sure you have nothing but love in your mind and soul. You can also contact a spiritual reverend, they will come to your home and cleanse it for no charge. Depending on your location, I could help you find someone if this is something you choose to do.

I believe spirituality and psychology can go hand in hand. I believe in higher forces in this world, but also in the power of the human mind. Can it cause negative "spirits" to manifest. Absolutely, but it can also do the opposite. At my lowest point I felt evil around me. Then I found my faith again and told myself I was done listening to the negative. I told myself I was going to be happy no matter what the world threw at me and started figuring out how to make that happen. Some may say well you did that on your own, but they are wrong there were a lot of struggles that my faith saw me through. I'm not saying you need to find some sort of belief other than in yourself, but taking control can definitely have results. Telling this evil spirit whether it is in your mind or real that you are the one in control of your life, that it has no right to torment you or be in your house, and that you want it out can help. It is all about intention on your part. It can be terrifying to take that control. When you know that it has no power over you, but you do over it then you can make it leave though.

** Just so everyone knows, the term "smudging" is a Native American term, and is culturally appropriative to use. It is also culturally appropriative to wear the hamsa (and use as decoration/ for ritual) if you are not of Judaism / Islamic / other Middle Eastern Religions. **

Someone on here told me a while ago, that if I feel bothered by it, to imagine a protective bright light around me in a bubble, and visualize myself being safely inside it. Also, visualizing the bright light surrounding the entity and sending it across the universe can help, too.

I would look into protective gems such as Amethyst, and herbs such as Elderberry and Wormwood. Also, incense would help.
Something I do to help when I'm in a situation like you, is to get my gems and any herbs, and create a small space in the room the entity usually occupies. Then, after anointing the gems with oils of protective herbs, I'd anoint myself on the forehead, and say a protective prayer. (The prayer can be either a general protective blessing, or a protective prayer from a religion you are part of). Then, I would light the incense and concentrate on visualizing the smoke from the incense taking the spirit away from you and your house. It would help to leave a window open.
After the incense is done burning, OR before you do the small ritual, you might want to clean your room for physical cleanliness and so it symbolizes you ridding your room of the entity. It really helps me.
This may not rid your house of the entity, but it might certainly help your mindset. Sometimes when you're more stressed out, feeling negative, depressed, etc. entities can feed off of your energy easier. Try keeping up a positive mindset, and tell yourself positive statements like "It will be okay, I'm going to get through this." "I am protected. I will not let this spirit effect me".

In the mean time you might be able to find some relief talking to a therapist about the psychological effects this is having on you. If your therapist dismisses your beliefs and doesn't listen to you about them, I would suggest trying to find one that is not biased, or perhaps you can find a spiritual person or forum you can consult with greater detail.

If I were you, I would also look into what would open the door to the other side/ create a pathway from you to the other side, so you can avoid doing anything that makes you noticed to entities behind that door. Praying doesn't necessarily open the door, and neither does offering things on an altar to a deity.
I searched through thousands of posts to find this, thus in turn almost overheating my computer. I've found it very helpful, and hope you do as well.
disclaimer: I don't want anyone sending anon hate to this person for linking them, and I don't necessarily endorse what kir says on their blog, ~but kir's post that I'm linking to aligns with my views.~here~

Korie Anders, I would like to finally say that I hope you are feeling better, and I hope this entity has been leaving you alone since your last post. Take gentle care of yourself and, you can message me any time if you want to talk. I'm not a pro in this area, but I've experienced things similar to this before, so it might help to know you are not alone.

I've had to use banishing rituals before to get rid of some not so nice spirits in the past, but there are various ways of doing that so not sure which specifically would be most effective. But it looks like there are some good suggestions in this thread.

Remember that we as living Humans have been given Dominion over Evil. You are in charge. If you ask God to be in charge of your life, then this puts YOU in domination over the Ugliness which would have you do as It wishes. What you say is what goes. If you ask what it wants It will probably tell you somehow, but I don't think it will ask you for anything nice. Most of the advice you got was collectively very good. Remember also that if you kick it out, but don't replace the Ugly with something Good then it or something else Ugly may return to replace it. I have never been hallucinatory. I believe you!! Hugs and support!! I know what it's like to have people not believe you, even though you know yourself very well. Many cultures both past and present believe in a Spiritual World beyond our physical existence. Nobody has the right to say you are wrong for your beliefs or personal experience. Blessings and Best Wishes!!
