by What to do if you are dealing with paranormal activity at home
1. Rule out other causes for the noises and movement in your home
Whilst spirits can move things there could be other causes for things going bump in the night. Homes 'settle' at night and this can cause all kinds of noises. Tapping, creaking. Be sure that noises you are hearing are not connected to your neighbours moving around, a draft through the house from poorly fitted windows or doors, or animals in your home or outside of your home
2. If children are seeing ghosts in the night, it could be due to them watching something frightening or coming across something frightening that they can't forget about. Children can have a hard time seperating fiction and non fiction sometimes, but that's not to say they are not genuinely seeing or hearing something paranomal. Most of the time it's just a relative visiting. Reassuring your child and not showing fear around or in front of them , it will only make it worse for them
3. If the building carries a history of something that would cause tension and negative energy to collect, it's very important to clear the space. It doesn't matter if it was a long time ago or recently, but negative energy in a space can worsen paranormal activity,including arguments, fighting, injuries or tragic deaths (anything that causes tension, upset, depression, grief) can worsen the activity. i didn't realize how true this was until we were dealing with a poltergeist in a home a few years ago. The negative emotions only fueled the activity and it became persistent and grew in strength
Sage your home with a white sage smudge stick (these can be found online) light candles, pray, and only envision and call upon higher energy beings that are powerful.If you are religious, pray to your God, the Angels, your spirit guides , goddess, or whoever you believe in to help you to heal and to cleanse your space. Ie Achangel Michael. Chanting could also help. Some people believe the Kodoish prayer can help .. re-claiming the space and helping to clear the energy from the building's history will help a lot. Asking the spirits to move on is sometimes all it takes.
4. Spirits are deceased humans. Movies exaggerate hauntings a lot.
Most people panic and worry about demons and non human beings causing harm. The truth is, spirits are humans who have passed away. They could be lingering for any reason, I'm sure it's not to distress you. Some are just apparitions and not able to communicate at all. Apparitions are just memory imprints of a person who once occupied that space. Ghost ships are a good example of this. Sightings of cars, ships, planes or even people walking dressed in old time clothing, not responding or being able to see you at all. These are apparitions and they are frequently sighted.
To tell an apparition from a spirit is simple. Apparitions do not respond to you. They will repeat their actions at a specific time or date. Some may be seen on one day of the year, some may have the pattern of walking around at 5am, just as they used to. if there's repetition in your activity, it's most likely an apparition. Apparitions are mostly seen, but may be heard. They do not respond to humans trying to communicate with them...
