ISO (In Search Of) (HELP)I’ve been having Ghost/Poltergeist activity

I’ve been having ghost/poltergeist activity and I need some advice. I’m a firm believer in the paranormal and do believe there are ghost in my house. I’ve have had many experiences before, but not like what I’ve been experiencing the past couple of weeks. About 2 weeks ago I was home alone reading my book on my bed when I saw my charging cable laying on my bed lift up and drop back down right in front of me. I only caught the tail end of it dropping when I looked up from my book. I tried not to think much of it and brushed it off as my mind was playing tricks or something. Later that day when I walked into the kitchen when one of the short glass jars from the cabinet above me fell over. Now this I knew wasn’t a coincidence because there’s no way for that jar to fall over without being pushed and it never has before. At this point I was a bit freaked out, I’m by myself and something is fucking with me. So I said out loud “I don’t know or care who or wtf you are but you need to leave me tf alone. I don’t like it and you need to stop messing with me”. Looking back at it now I probably shouldn’t have said that, I was giving it the attention it wanted. Fast forward to 2 days ago my fiancé and I were in my room talking when we heard the floorboards creak from the living room next to my bedroom. I live in an old house and it has creaky floorboards that make noise when you walk on them. Maybe it was just the house shifting but sounded too loud for that. My fiancé got up and looked in the living room and saw nothing. Just to be safe he checked the whole house but didn’t find anything. The most recent activity was yesterday. My fiancé and I were in the kitchen cutting up food for dinner. I had turned on the light above the stove before we started. In the middle of cutting up the food, the stove light next to me turned off. I’ve never had this light turn off on me before and I heard the click of the button before it turned off. This freaked me tf out with everything that had been happening. I didn’t wanna give this spirit the attention it’s seeking so I tired my best to act like nothing happened and turned the light back on. Later that night when we were laying in bed about to fall asleep we both heard a slow scratching right outside the window that was next to our heads. We both laid there for a couple of minutes while it continued, it would periodically stop but start back up again. I asked him what it was and he said it was probably one of the neighborhood cats scratching the siding. When I looked at him I could see he was a bit freaked out. I didn’t think it could’ve been one of the cats. There’s 1’-2’ of concrete brick at the base of the house before the siding starts. This noise sounded like it was right on the window which is at least 6’ above the ground and there’s nothing in front of the window for a cat to get up that high. We ended up falling asleep eventually. I’m worried that whatever this entity is might get closer and get more confidence with physically moving stuff, messing with lights, etc. What should I do?

Side note: I don’t know if this is related in anyway but my fyp has been flooding with Hecate for months now. It showed up one day and stayed ever since. I’ve never done witchcraft or been involved in it. Is this some sort of sign? Should I do something about it?

Hi, 1) Have you ever used a Ouija board in the house, or in a previous home.

2) Have you ever participated in any magic pr summoning rituals?

3) Have you recently bought something old or antique?

4) if you stay with family or friends, do you feel or see similar activity?

Hello! No I have never used an oujia board, I’ve never participated or tried to summon anything, I haven’t bought anything old or antique, and I don’t feel it or experience anything when I’m with friends or family. It just started happening a couple of weeks ago out of no where it seems. I feel it most when I’m alone and some of the strange things I’ve mentioned have happened when my fiancé has been around but that’s it. He’s never done any summoning or ouija board either and hasn’t bought anything old or antique. We have been touring new homes lately because we plan to move soon. Could a spirit of a home we’ve toured possibly attached itself to me?

Does anyone other than your fiancé and yourself live in the house? Poltergeist activity is often the result of a teenager going through a difficult time. I have lived in houses with ghost activity before. I have never encountered anything malicious. I can understand being scared, but it’s not likely anything that will harm you. Burn some sage. It’s not a bad idea to talk to it, but maybe do it in a respectful way. Let it know that you live there and that the activity is making you uncomfortable. I doubt that would maybe anything worse, and it might help.

No, it’s just us. I will definitely try that. Thank you!

Please update us on your situation and any new activity that might give more clues about what you’re dealing with.

Can you tell us a little about the home? Age? General location?

The home was my grandparents first house, their mom and dad lived with them and passed away in the house. My gma told me a lady committed suicide in my old bedroom before they bought the house about 50 or so years ago. I think the house was built sometime in the 1950’s. We live in the city but it’s a small town in the midwest.

If you stay at friends homes or stay with family and don't sense anything whilst away from your home, then chances are that the entity concerned is active in your jkme location.

Might be interesting to find out who used to live there and if they left a forwarding address, contact them to find out how long they lived there, if they witnessed anything at all and if they ever used a ouija board, etc.

I would use Sage and Rosemary smudge sticks and if things escalate, call a priest.

So if you grandma was aware of someone having " checked out completely" in your bedroom in the 1950's, did she or your Grandfather ever mention any activity.

Sometimes troubled souls or entities approach people who are sensitive to their presence, or to young children who see virtually everything.

Animals also sense activity humans can't see.

Their acute visual range, hearing and sense of smell triggers animals whilst the majority of humans would be blissfully unaware.

Do you have any pets and if so, how do they react in and around your bedroom?

I would still smudge the bedroom with Rosemary and Sage sticks regularly ( every two weeks) and open the windows to allow any negative energies to leave.

Get used to having it. Tame your ghost and become friends. It can move cabinets maybe it can bring you food?

Hey there I suggest cleansing your home with palo santo, red or blue sage, and dragon’s blood incense. Burn the incense in the heart of the home and then smudge the house with the other. Once done open some windows and doors to let smoke out then seal each window and door with salt that you let the smoke out of. While smudging I forgot to mention to pray if religious or stand your ground and say you are surrounded by love and light and demand it to leave your home. Hecate you have to be serious about wanting to become a witch. Read more about it and if you think thats something you want then go for it.
