Well whatever it is, be it a dark elf, a demon, or just some guy that doesn't know he's dead. I don't like it, it's creepy, having something dead following you around and "iving" with you just doesn't register on my fun scale. :worry:

Sigfried, I have definate Celtic roots, (O'Sullivan clan from Cork, Ireland). But it got a touch jumbled because the particular family I desended from were sailors and convicts. They changed their name to somthing French (My last name now) and were able to hide from the British a bit more, the moved a lot. I have mostly Irish, English, Polish, Russian, French, Canadian, French - Canadian, German, Austrian, American, and Ochipwah indian running through my veins. But my sister always said that the gypsies left me on my parents door step. <_< Which isn't too surprising, I look nothing like my family.

damn, this is going to be tough, normally wights are bound to the ethnic roots of someones blood, depending on what is the stronger one, in your case if you are mostly irish, welsh, scottish or gaul the most accurate definition to your ghost must be a Hobgoblin or a Fir Darrig, here is some info:

Hobgoblins
Brownies and other Hobgoblins are sometimes known as "guardian" fairies. They are usually depicted in legend and folklore along the lines of a small, solitary, shaggy-haired domestic spirits. They are said to do housework and odd jobs about the home. They will become attached to particular families or places. Though naturally helpful, these Hobgoblins are thought to become malicious if they are offended.

In Folklore there are also references to Hogboons, a guardian spirit of the farms. Shadowy figures who lived in nearly every big mound and protected domestic animals from the Trows (a sort of troll/bogeyman type figure), and would also mend household articles left out for repair. As a reward people would pour ale and milk on mounds where he lived.

Hobgoblins and Brownies were also guardians of breweries, who in days gone by would offer them copious amounts of beer before starting to brew. In exchange the Hobgoblin would ensure that the ale produced had a bouquet and bitterness second to none.

Fir Darrig(Fear deang): Are pratical jokers of the gruesome nature. They can assume any visage they wish.

maybe you have one this two

I don't feel fear anymore. Not sinse I put a condition on it.

"I won't fear something unless it is stronger than God."

and sinse then I never felt fear again.

Funny thing is, I used to be scared of everything; The dark, death, abandonment, monsters (that lasted forever), dogs, strangers, earwigs (those creepy bugs with the pincer butt), centipedes... Large scale disasters that would destroy the earth, the "Rapture", demons... I was one neurotic little kid.

Now I just scoff at everything. Never take me to a horror movie, I'll wreck it for everyone with my laughing. Haunted houses too, man those are funny, people are such sissies.

Horror movies and haunted houses aren't scary because they aren't real. A phobia is something very real to the person experiencing it.





so are they or arent they real phoenixphire? ;)

NOW they aren't scarey. Years ago it woudl have had me in a screaming fit and on the way to the looney bin.

SHEESH!!

Alright let me clear this up.
When I was younger I was the biggest wuss you could ever find. I wouldn't go outside after dark, could not sleep if I didn't check under the bed, would not walk upstairs by myself at night, and had a horrib;y bad fear of puppets, gremilins, and anything smaller than me that could hurt me. I would cry if a saw a black cat. Friday the 13th I would play hookey. I didn't ride a roller coaster till I was in the eighth grade. I was a flat out scaredy cat wuss of a wuss.

That all changed once I realized how completely illogical a lot of things are and generally growing up into a person who doesn't have time to be scared or not giving a flying rat pellet about a lot of things (take your pick). I get freaked out from time to time. But not enough to loose sleep over.

Geez, you are so totally off my Christmas card list! ;)

I guess I just really wnat to know who or what this thing is in my apartment. Maybe it's just bothering me that I seriously don't know and can't rationlize it.

Most "scary" movies can be rationalized with, I don't live in that city, I don't drive that car, or I don't know anyone named Jason with a hockey mask.

Also, no it's not in my head or my imagenation. I really wish it was something that easy.

Well my friends. My ghost is back.

My boyfriend left for his business trip this morning, he woke me up and kissed me good bye, I walked him to the door and he left. I was getting back into bed and I starightened the covers before going back to sleep. I woke up some hours later and started getting dressed. I look on my boyfriend's side of the bed. The perfect imprint of a body on top the covers. I tugged on the covers thinking my mind was messing with me, trying to straighten the covers again. The imprint didn't move.

I threw my body pillow at the imprint and the room started getting cold. I ripped the covers off the bed and pushed the mattress onto the ground. I stormed around and told the ghost he is not to lay on my boyfriend side of the bed. The room started feeling normal again so I put the mattress back onto the frame and fixed the covers. I walk out of the bed room, the door slams behind me.

I'm going to go to a friend's the weekend. I'm not staying in that apartment alone untill my boyfriend comes back.

Heh heh. Maybe if you buy a really cheap bobblehead toy, he'll sit around and bobble it all day.

Or maybe he needs a cookie. Get some Oreos.

Too creepy. I swear my biggest phobia is a fear of ghosts and spirits. I am so interested in them, but when I hear about stuff like that, I just start to lose it. Reading over this thread just furthers my belief in ghosts and spirits, especially in them being hostile. No offence, but I am so glad I am ghost free where I live now.

But still, :gasp:

Interesting thread, to say the least. While Sigfried had some interesting points and I have heard his same information from other friends, there are a few other things you can do.

First off, spirits, most any, from what I have seen, feed off of your emotions, a good example would be a shade, a being that's supposedly rejected from heaven and hell. I actually had two bound to me, one to my fedora and another to my cane, with the agreement that they did as I asked, so long as they were under the contract. While they did that, I kept them and they were no longer stuck where I found them (a rented room within the Mission Inn in my town of Riverside, which was a former Catholic missionary. Read into it, it's full of hauntings, which I have some interesting stories about. :P)

Anyway, you and your boyfriend can ignore the spirit. Things may get worse for a little while, but if you simply stop caring, and being afraid of it, then he's just going to wither and lose his ability to cause you harm, whether it be physical or mental.

Another possibility is when the next time he (the spirit comes around), ask him to go into the Light. I've sent plenty upwards and away from me. Often times, spirits won't realize they're dead and continue on in their afterlife thinking they're still alive. In these situations, which yours might possibly be, they need a little guidance and direction in what to do.

Sending them into the light doesn't mean he'll be gone permanently, in fact, it may only be for a few moments, but to him it can be a lifetime. Time's different when you're dead. He may find friends or family up there, and have this awesome party that he's finally arrived, or he might realize he is indeed dead. In either case, he may return, but typically it's under the prefix of a better living situation.

As far as working with the chakras go, starting out right away with the crown (mind's eye) chakra is, well, almost bad to do. It can cause some serious burning, especially if you plan on opening up the other chakras. The rule of thumb to follow is to start from below and work your way up. It might take a lot longer, but it'll be good for you in the long run.


I myself have a spirit in my house, though she's calmed down lately. She hates my girlfriend with a passion (anyone that doesn't look like HER is subject to this. I.E. auburn hair, green eyes, large breasts, it never fails.) She used to open and shut doors, throw things around in the kitchen, and generally be a very irritated spirit. As far as I know, she came here about six or so years ago and has stayed since. I sent her into the light over a year ago, and it's been a good experience since. She'll still act up every so often if I don't say hello to her if I walk into the rear bedroom (she stays in there, and the room is constantly a good ten degrees colder), or if she's wandering around in the house, but generally when a resolution can be had, things get easier to deal with.

A quick recap: One, either ignore the spirit entirely, or two send the spirit into the light. Personally, I'd opt for number two, because number one is just going to piss them off a lot, before they realize you are serious about it.

I hope this helps, and I'm sorry for bouncing back and forth so often.

Well last weekend my boyfriend/fiance broke up with me. (Big surprise, but that's another story.)

It was sad break up but not bad by far, we still see eachother and are remaining friends which is rare.

Anyways, the night he left. I was crying. I felt a hand on my shoulder and felt cold but this time it wasn't a stinging cold. It was kinda like the feeling of a parent putting his hand on your your shoulder. I couldn't cry, it just stopped. Then the touch just kind of faded.

There was also a horrible storm with flooding and damage in my area. I had the only apartment that didn't loose power.

I think the ghost may have been a father, a husband, or a brother when he died. I'm not sure, but I'm really not scared of him anymore. I'm glad he chose to stay.

I'm sorry to hear that, I'm going through that same situation myself right now (girlfriend's moving to Hawaii to pursue her scholarship).

Though it is interesting to hear what you had to say about the spirit, it is quite possible.

I wouldn't call it sleeping, but they do seem to be a bit less inactive during the daylight. For instance, Michelle, the spirit here inmy house will pick either the guest closet or my closet (whichever one is closed at the time) and find the darkest corner possible. I can still go up to the closet and simply rest a hand on the door and feel her inside of it, but that's about it. I have woken up a few times during the night to find someone else laying on my bed next to me, only to realize a few moments later that nobody is there.

I can recall a few distinct times being told to 'roll over' and to 'stop hogging the bed' in my sleep by a distinct female voice. My ex wasn't here at the time, so I'm fairly positive it was her. Though, because I put bindings on my room, she doesn't come in here any longer and tends to stay away from me.

I'm not sure if they actually DO sleep, but they will get comfy next to you. Next time it happens, get your breath back, relax for a few moments, and run the palm of your hand over but not ON the imprint. Maybe an inch or less above the blanket/sheet. You may or may not be able to feel something very faint on the palm of your hand (remember to concentrate on your palm). Then, try it with your other hand.

If you want to test it out now, relax for a few moments, then very slowly brush your fingers of your left hand over your right hand's palm without touching it. If you do it right, it'll feel very faint, less than a feather's touch. Then do it the same with your opposite hands.

That's Zen's yin and yang for you. I've noticed that with a little bit of work, you can feel things slightly (and get progressively better with practice) better than otherwise. If that doesn't work, place your hand on the imprint directly and feel around. If you get a chill down your back, goosebumps, or your hair stands on end, you might be onto something.
