How can I be less scared of ghosts?

Question

I think my house is haunted...or there's a ghost following me or something. It only happens once in a while but I hear actual footsteps (only one home), hear whispers, and more. Like last night I was just watching some cartoon on tv and I looked behind me and saw a shadow that almost looked like an arm. I had the lights off and no, it wasn't from the tv. I even touched the wall where the shadow was and it moved so I turned on the lights and didn't get to bed till late...A few months ago (I'm a light sleeper so any little sound will wake me up) I woke up to my door opening and I could hear the k**b turn. I know they're little things but they scare and I feel like someone's watching me. Please don't say to see a psychologist or something. So how can I be less scared?

Answer 1

Believe it or not-

that is something you are going to

have to teach yourself.

People are always afraid of ghosts/spirits

because in every scary movie most

of us have ever watched-

the dead are always coming back

to life, and doing terrible things to the

living.

The truth is, the dead usually have no

desire to harm the living.  They are

interested in trying to make contact,

because they want help or they want

to be acknowledged.

You might try acknowledging the spirit

by saying something like,

"I know you are here- God Bless you."

Then ask them if there is something

they want- and wait to see if anything

happens.

if you become too scared, simply

talk out loud to them, and tell

them you are afraid and why-

believe me that will make it much easier

for you and them, and they will

most likely try not to frighten you

in the future.

Taking a deep breath and turning on the light

always helps - as well as talking yourself

through your fear out loud.

Be patient with yourself,

and eventually in time-

you will become a lot less fearful.

You don't need to see a psychologist. And no, most of it is not in your head. I experience the same things too. My mother does too. I can feel negative energy. And sometimes i can feel emotions that were not mine, or feel like bad things happened in a place I'm in. Unfortunately, a blessing from a priest or a church does NOT help at all. Just pisses them off more. Things might cool down for a bit, but they will come back. Having pets, especially dogs or cats, can help. They sense things too, and can ward spirits off. They cannot harm you unless you let them. They feed off any negative energy you have, such as fear or anger or frustration, etc. It's their power source. Don't be afraid, even though it's hard. If it continues or gets stronger and scarier, look up local stores that sell smudge sticks (sage bundled up) and light it and let the smoke go in every single nook and cranny in your home, especially areas that paranormal events happen often. While you burn it, say "I cleanse this house and cleanse any negative energy. May this house be blessed with love and white light and may no harmful beings or entities stay or enter." While you say that, you really have to feel it, not like you're just reading it off the paper. I hope you resolve your problems.

Answer 5

Dear child just pray.  Let god know your worries.  Be loud with the ghosts/spirits.  Let them know that you know your in control of them.  If they are demonic send them away by saying something with Jesus name in it.  Something I usually say is 'in the name of our lord and savior Jesus Christ I command you to leave this house at once you are not welcomed here.'  If that doesnt work have your house blessed.  Our neighbors had to do that.  If they are just abnoxious tell them to leave because there bothering you.  But never fear them theyll just make you more afraid.

Answer 6

It would help if you read more books or articles about the nature of ghosts according to paranormal researchers. Familiarity will mellow down your fear. Have you watched the movie "The Others"? It is a very good ghost movie for understanding ghosts.

Answer 7

Research ghosts and things. I think the more knowledge you have about what you're afraid of, the better you feel. That's just me though.
