I thought my house had ghosts, but according to a paranormal psychic it is hovering demon

Ok, this is going to sound a little silly, but its not a joke. First off, I know many Polish people will not deny that evil spirits/ghosts do exist because I have heard many on here talk about it and my dad, who is the one of Polish ethnicity in my family believes they exist too. That is why I have posted such a thread on this forum.

Throughout my life (especially in childhood), I have always felt like there were evil spirits all around me, which could be due to living in an old house that actually was haunted by ghosts when I was a very young child (doors slammed, strange unexplainable sounds/popping noises, disappearing objects). My mother said I would wake up screaming at almost the same time every night and that I had some sort of fear/intuition that something was there which carried on to the next house we moved into, a newly built one.

There were never any strange activities happening in the new house, until a couple of months ago. I never thought there might be ghosts, because we live in a newly built house until I started hearing scratching and very very strange sounds coming from the attic that were very hard to discern completely but almost sounded like voices. I know there is no way there could be vermin in the attic, it has been checked before and there has never been anything there. Plus there is no way for them to get up there. Then a couple of weeks later, I was in the dark living room with only the Christmas tree lights on and I walked to the other side of the room. As I walked, I felt this very strange sensation on my shoulder and then again on my head that I was being touched. I looked all around for anything that could have fallen on me and there was nothing. It was not subtle, it felt very strong and my stomack got a sick sensation and I experienced extreme chills. After that I could only think one thing, Ghosts! I was puzzled, because we live in a fairly new house but after doing a little research I found out that the house does not have to be old, ghosts can come around from antique items like pieces of furniture, which we have tons of.

After that incidence I second guessed myself and thought of myself as a nutcase but just last night, I was alone in the house around 8:00 PM. I was in the shower after working out and when I got out I dried myself off (lol) and then suddenly heard this loud thumping noise from the other side of the house (there were no pets around). I got chills, and felt like I was going to collapse, and then to my utter terror the locked bathroom door rattled and knocked as if something were putting pressure on it. After that I would not leave the bathroom of course and I waited in there for half an hour praying and in utter shock and terror until my parents got back (this thing apparently does not come around when other people are there).

So then I called up a psycic that deals with these sort of things and I explained the whole situation to her. She was very alarmed when she had heard everything, and told me that I may have a hovering demon and that they are very dangerous. She said that it may be beginning to play, and warned me not to tease it or anything with an oija board. Other than that she didn't really give much information that is very helpful. I asked someone else and they told me I should get baptized and start going to church every Sunday. I think this is good advice and I plan to follow it.

Can anyone offer advice or insight onto my situation?

Sounds like the haunting may be inside your own head. :)

Sure, give it a shot. Whatever brings you peace.

How do you explain what happened to me last night? A door that was pressed on and bumped is not something that you can just hear inside your head. I thought I was a nutter before last night, but now I am not kidding myself anymore there is something really weird going on.

Don't you have dogs and siblings in the house?

Another possibility... Did perhaps someone come home or leave that you were unaware of? New houses are sealed very tightly. Opening an exterior door causes an air pressure/ vacuum that could make other doors in the house move or rattle if they are closed.

It sounds like a very serious problem indeed. Pity PP is already gone, I know she would definitely find a way to help you. She's really good at finding solutions.

No Nonsense, do you have a pet cat? My cat tries to get inside rooms with closed doors by pawing them and making all sorts of rattling noises with his paw and the door. If you have a pet, that could explain the door sounding like it was being pushed against. It might also explain the sensation of being touched. You could get a priest to bless your house or call your local paranormal society to check it out.

Or it could have been the heater cycling on. When the blower comes on it creates a vacuum throughout a tightly sealed house too. And a bathroom is the natural place such a vacuum would suck from because they are vented to the outside.

Good one. My cat hates closed doors. I can't even sit on the toilet without meowing and a cat paw grabbing under the door.

It looks like we all have cats then. My Siamese cat opens all the doors in a house and drinks water out of the spicket.

What, you think maybe I poop standing up?! :D

Yeah, mine will jump up on the sink and insist I turn on the faucet too. While I'm pooping. :p

Then why do you not put water in a bowl for him???

Of course he always has a bowl of water in the kitchen. He just likes to drink from the basin faucet because... I don't know why... Because it makes him feel like he's drinking from a mountain waterfall or something, I guess. Lol.

Cats are picky about water. My cat used to try to drink from the bathtub faucet even though his water was officially in the kitchen. He also like faucet drips to land on top of his head. Then he wants to be petted so it's clear he let water drip on his head and everyone knows it.

I used to have a cat that liked to sleep in the bathtub. Until one time I didn't know she was in there and I reached in and turned on the water for a shower. A wet cat blur ensued. Never saw her sleeping in there again. Lol...

Ok, maybe I knew she was in there a little bit. >:]

Its strange than an adult can be accessed by spirits, i believe children are more open to this phenomena. I was only telling my ghost story the other night to some friends whilst sitting around an open fire place, always a good one that. We've also had moving furniture here at my house in Poland, although ive published that before on here.

Also your story is almost exactly like the film Paranormal Activity.

In that movie they used classic examples of a demon trying to possess someone. I only thought it was haunted until that lady told me it sounded like a demon. I do not own any cats and I for sure know that all of the animals were in the garage and couldn't get upstairs. There are no heating vents like that near the door and I would doubt those could have even caused that sound.

How do know what it feels like to have evil spirits around you unless you have a point of reference?

Call a priest or a ghostbuster!

evil spirits

- the only bad spirits I have seen were made in a poor quality distillery in a basement. Gave a strong headache the next day and smelled really evil:D

My home over is 100 years old, busting from the seam with gazillion antiques. Never felt the present of any ghosts in my house. However, many of the homes in my neighborhood are supposedly haunted.

How you done any research, to verify if any former buildings or dwellings existed previously, on your current home property? Possibly these places may be sources of the strange activity...

Peeps often like to say a house is haunted if someone died there. But truth is that most houses of a certain age have had people die in them. That's just how society worked back in the days before hospices and old folks homes and funeral parlors: you died at home in bed. And your dead body got laid out in the living room for viewing visitors.

The first thing you should do is remove the first word of your user name.

I haven't done research on my own house, but I am guessing there was never anything previously, since they had to cut down many trees and refine the lot when it was first built. There is a very very old house a little bit down the road though where someone died on the kitchen table. I think it is about two centuries old and still somewhat intact. I researched and found that spirits can travel short distances, but what the lady told me is that ghosts aren't usually that aggressive (they don't usually harass one person and touch them unless they get in they are totally provoked, which I didn't do).

I hear plenty of stories on the news about ghost sightings, one of which wasn't recognized in a photograph until it was posted on facebook. I'm surely not the only one that believes in them and I've had enough experiences in other relatives' houses and my old one to know that they exist.

Well, I didn't actually think "evil spirits" I just know that I sensed it as a four and five year old child. Later when I was older and my dad mentioned that the house we used to live in was haunted, I remembered the strange feelings of creepiness and feeling like I was being watched all the time and not to mention the odd noises I would hear when I woke up in bed. I may just be very spiritually sensitive, which is what the paranormal lady told me.

well.. having actually been there and done that, a lot like you.. we had a new house and you could hear someone coming up the stairs at night.. even the very very strange sound of chains moving around in the attic.. twice, at night (I was about 7) I saw a hooded ghost thing, like it was wearing a dark brown monks robe, tie around the waist and all, but the face when it looked at me was pure darkness, no eyes, nothing..

I could go on because I had a few experiences later in life too, and also my daughter has had a few real whammies.. but anyway there is an answer it surely is not psychics. psychics might actually make your problem worse since they work with spirits.

try this, it is real simple. next time you sense something, whether you are sure or not, you say, out loud 'Help me Jesus". saying the lord's prayer out loud helps whole bunches too.

whether you believe in Jesus or not, it doesn't matter, just do that and they will leave immediately. ghosts and demons fear Jesus more than anything in this world. be careful, they can hurt you and make you sick too..

maybe it's a trial of faith for you, do that.. help me, Jesus.. and you will find soon even, you do believe in him. Lots of people get saved this way.

Thank you very very much for your response. The praying I did in the bathroom may have prevented something worse from happening. I intend to do that and a lot more.

You're welcome.

It can take a few weeks sometimes longer for it to dissipate completely, just keep at it...

Church is good for the strength of fellowship (if you know of a good one) but Jesus is really all you need. This is his realm completely. He sets the captives free ;)

Sounds like you'll have quite a testimony when all is said and done.

Ok, this is going to sound a little silly,

I believe you. I've had a similar experience, though not as severe, when I was in my mid teens. I suspect that only those that have experienced these types of things can relate, because these types of experiences cannot be explained, and you know it when it happens.

My friend was with me at the time. We were staying at his house and had gone for a motorbike ride. No one was in the house, as his mother and sister were on holidays. The house was isolated on an acreage.

Anyways, we had parked up just under the house (it was on pylons). It was late afternoon. We were getting ready to go inside when we heard a noise from inside. It was coming through the floorboards and was only a few metres away, over our heads.

It wasn' what we saw but what we heard - I can only describe it as a disembodied voice that penetrated through the house, speaking in a language we had never heard of. It sounded deep and evil.

My friend and I looked at each other to verify what we had heard. We got back on the bike and didn't return for a few days. There were no signs of entry in the house. We still talk about this incident. We both agree it was something paranormal and it wasn't good. It still gives me goosebumps.

We spoke to his mum about it later, and she told us she had seen something years before at the house that looked like a Chinese man dressed in mandarin style.

The same friend and I saw something else that still creeps us out. Again, we had been bike riding, in a forest, and were parked in a clearing to have a break and a ciggie. I saw something through the bush (Aussie low lying scrub with gum trees) probably 20-30 metres away, which I thought was a gigantic kangaroo - it was absolutely massive, with short brownish-grey fur - I guess 7 foot high. It was just standing there. I pointed it out to my friend and he freaked out. It turned its face to us, and it wasn't any kangaroo, or anything we had seen ever. It was vaguely humanoid, and that's all I can remember now.

It just stood there, looking at us, unmoving. I freaked by that stage too - and guess what - my old Yamaha GT80 decided it didn't want to start. The feeling at that stage was not good - utter helplessness. I got it going and we took off. This creature never moved toward us though. Thank Christ it didn't.

Thinking back on it and examining the situation, the feeling I had at the time was reminiscent of blindly walking into something you shouldn't experience, or standing outside the window of a house where something bad is going down and one of the occupants looks up at you.

To those of you who doubt, you'll know it if you experience it.
