If this is the first time you have experienced something like this it can be quite scary. Mostly these apparitions are completely harmless, maybe a recently passed family member or friend or someone who you have not met that is simply lost or connected to your home in some way. To sense something is one thing but to actually see it is another. Different religions offer different remedies and I myself have tried a few with some sucess but never attempted to dispell a spirit unless it was obvious that it wanted to do someone harm. You should call some good friends that you trust in your support cirlce and do some research . Conduct yourself as the host and not the victim. This may very well resolve itself on its own. It dosent hurt to find your roots.I'm no expert but I've definatley seen more than what most people know to exist, just fate I guess..

I'm sorry that you are going through such a scary thing.  Yes, I believe demons are real because I have had some pretty crazy experiences with them myself.  I doubt that the spirit is actually trying to possess you.  Full blown possession is very rare, especially in America, although there have been some actual cases.  Chances are, the spirits are just trying to harass you.  I had a friend that was going through this exact same thing.  She even felt whatever it was sit down on the bed and saw the impression.\n\nThe good news is that as a Christian, you have the right and the responsibility to tell this thing to leave your alone and to leave your house.  Here's what you do:\n\nFirst, ask God to reveal to you any sins that may have allowed this spirit entrance to your house. It could be anything from a repetitive sin or bringing an artifact home from a vacation (this is what happened to another friend of mine). It could also be from allowing certain people that carry spirits with them into your house.  Then, ask God to forgive you and truly repent for this sin. If you don't come up with any sin, ask God to show you how this spirit gained access.  \n\nNext, you can do this alone or bring over some of your Christian praying friends.  Ask God to protect you.  Then, start claiming your rights.  Go in each room and say something like, "I'm a Christian, a child of God, and Jesus gave us the ability to cast out spirits in His name."  Faith is the key here.  You MUST have faith that you have this right.  Say it with authority.  Not yelling, but authority.  Practice before hand if you have to. Then begin to ask God to fill your house with his glory.  Then, command the spirit to leave by saying something like "Spirit, I command you to leave this house in Jesus' name. "  \n\n The spirit you described does not sound very strong.  No matter what happens while you are praying, keep praying and don't get scared.  If it will help you build courage and faith, read through scriptures where Jesus or the disciples cast demons out.

i dont believe in ghost persay, you know, the ones that float around and rattle chains, moan and groan, but i do believe in spirits.\n\ni believe the spirit of a loved one is always present. a spirit is the essence of love, you feel it in your heart, a warm feeling of peace and safety. i do believe in gaurdian angels, again the spirit of a loved one protecting you.\ni believe that my gaurdian angel is a much loved uncle that i was with when he died, i have had experiences that i just could not explain, but when ever these things happen, he is the first thing that pops into my mind, just out of the blue and i feel his presence, his love.

Oh' yes there are, if not ghost, then there must be a lot of bad spirits around.\nYou probably can't see them, but they are everywhere at every house, including yours.\nIf you want to see them I always can tell you how.\nBut if you do, just don't go fooling around with them, as the minute they notice you are seeing them, they all will be asking you to accept them in your body.\nSo pretend as usual not able to see them, if by mistake they talk to you, with a sarcastic voice, just keep cool as nothing is happening. OK.

As a matter of fact me and my family were sitting around telling "ghost" stories just the other night.\n\nI have had several encounters w/ what could of only been ghosts.  My brother actually swears he seen our mother "floating" over us when all five of us kids were saying good bye to her in the hospital (she had just died) - he swears she was crying and looking down at all of us.  This is just one of several things that has happened over the years.\n\nI think your father wanted to talk to you.  Maybe he wanted you to know he was watching over you even thought he wasn't here on earth any longer.  \n\nI think that as long as their not "bad" or mean ghosts it's ok - even kinda cool - I have heard some stories from people who have encountered sightings w/ mean ghosts.  I think your dad was telling you and your mom that he will always love you.

I am Founder and Director of SWAT (Spiritual Warfare and Truth).\nI used to be a paranormal investigator. I formed a team years ago called SEWPI- Southeast Wisconsin Paranormal Investigations and dealt with this on a personal level and then with many clients who saw/experienced encounters with "shadow people".\nAs a teen, I started seeing "shadow people". I assumed they were ghosts, but ignored them because it was scary many times. As I got older, it got worse, seeing them turned to hearing, feeling, and other supernatural things occurring to me, no matter where I lived, or went.\nThen, I lived at a place that after 3 mos, noticed was very haunted. We're talking close to "Amityville Horror" type stuff! I had many friends, family and visitors who noticed/experienced things while at my house, even non-believers, and it got so bad, they wouldnt even come in any longer. I have the story and pics at:\nhttp://www.angelfire.com/wa3/parainvestud\nBut anyways, I began my own team who could help people who were experiencing this type of thing, and who wanted answers and help getting rid of it.\nIn my time in this field (which I still do, only time, experience, study and research has changed my views on the paranormal possibilities to supernatural realities\nhttp://www.srealities.com)\nI have come to know truths about them.\nThey are not ghosts like people view (and there are many views on them). But I have experience in this area, so I;m not replying off theories.\nBut these are demonic beings and are very dangerous.\nIf you or someone you are realted to or have been with when they did any of these things (list on following site):\nhttp://www.angelfire.com/wi3/sriinfo2\nThen chances are, you are seeing demonic beings.\nI didnt, and started ata young age. Come to find out, many years later, my mother and even grandmother did things like saw a psychic, did Tarot cards, took part in a seance, talked to spirits, etc...I never knew until years later. But point being, we often unknowingly call in evil forces/spirits, and even if we dont, and someone in our family (like parents or grandparents) or even friends who we've been with, have, then you are vulnerable and a possible target to these dark forces.\nSounds like TV, I know, but, I can give you plenty of people who have dealt with this (testimonies on our website).\nYou need to understand what they are and stop seeing them, because their presence can cause a lot of problems and harm- things you wouldnt think of. It is dangerous to you to see them (if you see them, they are around your life...)\nIf you have any other Q's, etc...please go to our website and email me- thats what I do!  :)\nI'll say a prayer for you :)\nHeidi

I have encountered them, and have quite a substantial list of friends who have encountered them. Some things just exist whether you want to believe it or not.\n\nI have a few theories on how someone becomes a ghost, but I should probably explain that I believe in person truth, first. I believe that if Mary believes that she will go to Heaven when she dies, she will go to Heaven when she dies; if Joe believes in reincarnation, he will be reincarnated; if Lucy doesn’t believe in afterlife, than her body will decompose and she will cease to exist. Thus, one way someone could become a ghost, is if that's what they believe will happen to them when they die. For the sake of further clarification, I believe a ghost to be the soul of a living being (including plants and animals) who’s body dies.\n\nAnother way would be if someone dies when they are unsure of what will happen to them after death - their soul is then stuck in limbo until they figure it out. Someone might also become a ghost if there is at least one lesson they have not learned or one goal they have not completed (predetermined by fate), and are stuck in limbo until they learn the lesson(s) and/or complete the goal(s). A third way would be if someone still alive is incapable of coping with the death, and consequently holds that soul back from moving forward until they are able to let go. Finally, someone may also choose to stay behind, for personal reasons.\n\nHere's a little story if you need some convincing: My late dog, Kristy, stayed behind as a ghost for some time after she died early January of 2005. My fiancé and I were watching my parents' house while they were away for a few days. We were the only living beings there, and we had both been downstairs for the past few hours. I went upstairs to fetch something from my room, and just outside my door, I saw something I couldn't explain away as something natural. There was an oval-shaped area of carpet, the size of Kristy when she laid down, that was matted down and warm to the touch, as if she had just been lying there not moments ago. I didn't think much of it as I knew she was still around; I would occasionally feel her presence or even hear the jingling of her collar, as if she were scratching her neck, just beside me. She appeared to stay for a while after we adopted our new puppy, Sam. He was remarkably easy to housebreak, and I'm sure Kristy had a hand in it. I think she also stayed behind to somewhat "approve" of Sam, and to be assured that he was not her replacement.

spirits?\n\nIf you don't believe in it, then why do you see her?

well i believe in sprits, ghosts, etc...\nJust because you don't see something with your naked eye doesnt' mean that they don't exsist.  I have had weird things happen to me since my father past away 15 years ago.... sometimes i can be sitting in a chair, no one in the house with me and it feels like someone just pushed on my back... so some people would say i was crazy, i think it was a ghost, be it my father or brother or other family member that past on, or maybe my angel, that touched my shoulder to say that they were there.  I don't think that we should open a pandora's box by trying to open a port-hole for evil to come through... but the ghosts will contact those they want... as far as your fathers car, i believe that happened, but i wouldn't give into it or try to give it power...\n\ngood luck

Yes I have had experience of spirits too and I am a Christian. Many Christians are spiritually sensitive and can sometimes see through the veil that separates heaven and earth, the spirit world and us.\nThe bible does indeed say that spirits exist and I think that the whole existence of our world would not be possible without God who is spirit and created all the spritual worlds first.\nJust look in the Bible it does say that there is more to this than just God and us. In fact it says "Our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual rulers, the authorities and (something like) dark powers". Look it up, I'm sure e-Bibles can bring it up for you!\nI have had experience of spirits, me and my dad both smell the same perfume and that was heavy and like roses that apparently my great grandma used to wear. I told my mum and she told me he used to smell it as well although I am too scared to tell him!\nHe might think it's weird, we have both had scary experiences at night while in bed but the difference is he has had it many times and me only a few. The first time I ever did I prayed and was saved from the terror that surrounded me. It was like pure evil in the room and I had never been as scared. So I prayed and saw that God was faithful to me and that the God I had learned about in Sunday School was real! I Have been a Christian ever since and Thank God whenever I get it  (about twice a yr but it's unpredictable) I can call on his name and KNOW that he will save me and never leave me to their mercy to suffer and be terrified.  I don't know how my dad can stand it, NEVER do ouija boards ppl my dad did and again although he only mentioned it once, it can seriously cause you problems if the spirits don't want to leave as they sometimes dont. \nI belive they are fallen angels, that angels that rebelled against God with satan and were expelled from heaven. This of course made them very angry and want to get revenge. So they see people as the way to get to and hurt God by trying to destroy them and make them do evil so they will be condemned along with the evil one on the day of judgement. We are innocent in this dispute and so God has given us a second chance in the form of his son our messiah who saves us but only if we turn from our evil ways. The holy spirit restrains evil from engulfing us and keeps our world relatively peaceful even tho we do evil, that is how merciful God is!\n\nThe devil is also jealous of us for being able to have a loving relationship with God because he cannot and has lost his chance. Who knows what he did that was so bad he couldnt be given a second chance but to rebel against God when you already have a favoured position as Archangel then that seems kind of impossibe to do so it must have been a BIG deal.

I do have books on the subject, but they are England and American versions. I implore you to use ultimate caution if you become able to conjur the spirits, you may open a portal that you cannot control and the consequences be devastating.

i'm not sure if i believe in ghosts per say, but i do believe in the spirit world.  \ni do have a story behind it-and you can find it in one of the questions i asked recently.\nanyway, there's alot of people who don't believe in the unknown but i think because they don't want to open themselves up to it.\njust my opinion.

Apparently, you must be dealing with some manifestation of something you may have seen. Demonic spirits can appear just as you conjure them up. They take different forms to get you to be interested in them. I would really have to know more in detail regarding this issue. But if it is something that you are seeing. 1.) Make sure you are born again. 2.) If so, release him from his assignment in which he has come to torment you, by the authority in Jesus name. 3.) Move on with your life and get in a good word teaching church.

If you're asking about a spirit visit, I don't believe in such things.  Still, if that IS what you're asking, why not go to a spiritualist (tacky tarot card shopowner) and ask for a seance?

I dont beleive in "ghosts," per se, butI do believe that God and/or Satan can send "spirit-things" lol to Earth. I know that doesn't make much sense, its hard to explain.
