I have a ghost?

Question

He has been here for awhile. Usually he's harmless. What he has done is; knocked things off my mantle and off my shelf in the laundry rm, he plays with my computer and picks the songs I will sing, and he keeps changing my darn clocks ahead. He doesn't hurt anybody. He won't give me his name, and it's frustrating. Please help

I am not asking anyone to believe, I'm asking those who do for help. I would like to thank those who answered with insightfulness for their advice. Thank you.

Answer 1

Why do you automatically think this is a ghost and not a leprechaun? Aren't leprechauns supposed to be mischievous like this? Why are so many people skeptical of leprechauns?

But if you're asking me, I don't think it's either ghost or leprechaun. It doesn't take a ghost or leprechaun for something to fall off a shelf. Are you sure whatever fell wasn't knocked over or placed precariously? As far as what songs your computer plays, that's dictated by the playlist programming of whatever software you're using. It's far more likely that you just don't know how the playlist works. Do your clocks automatically adjust for daylight savings time or is someone resetting them to play a joke on you? Are you accidentally hitting the hour adjust button when you are hitting the snooze? Maybe you should find out.

You don't have a ghost.

Answer 2

I am a professional ghost hunter and know where your coming from. I have the same thing that happens in my house. I have even had one of the ghosts in my house take a picture of itself. Still scratching my head on that one. Never had that happen before. I can send you the picture if you want to see it. Anyways they have ruined two cable boxes, fried the boxes. I have been able to capture strange pictures in my house and an interesting evp. What I have done is put sea salt in the most active parts of my house. This has calmed things down greatly. It also insures that if you have a demon that is playing nice for now the sea salt will repel it. Sea salt drains there energy. Aways, the best way I have found is to ask it not to do certain things. If it is knocking things over and stuff It must not like something your doing. I would get yourself a digital voice recorder and see what you can catch. You might get some answers. Just ask questions and give it a while to answer. I have found the longer you wait the better. Also let it know you mean it no harm. Most ghost were people as well. It might feel threatened. I would say treat it like you would treat a friend. If it starts to get violent you can always contact me and I can see if I can help you further or help you find someone in your area that can assist you.

Thanks,

The shelf in the laundry room could be explained enough by the fact that things shake and jiggle there anyway...well at least if you have a washer and/or dryer.

As far as the "annoyances" such playing with your computer and clocks and the songs you will sing...it rings of somebody who is being annoying so that you will pay attention to them; kind of like if you were to sit and poke somebody until they either pay attention or tell you to knock it off.

He can "pick your songs" but it is still up to you as to whether or not you're going to listen to him...and maybe sometimes it is a way to try and give you a message; start paying attention to what songs he is choosing.

My James (pics on 360) would do similar things but with him it was not liking the clothes I was wearing/choosing...it was quite aggravating at times but I *got* that mostly his attitude was that of wanting me to do something special for him alone.

Well, since there wasn't much I could do (as he didn't have a physical body) to make him feel "important" I didn't really see the harm in wearing a shirt or pants that he liked...it would be no different than dressing to impress one of the living.

As far as not giving you his name, maybe he believes that you already know it or that you need to figure out WHO he is really...take a look at recurring dreams or someone who you were fond of, etc.

Don't worry, even though there are skeptics out there, there are those who also believe in paranormal activity. I think that it could have been there at the house or it could have been drawn to you because you have a heightened sense of awareness for paranormal activity. I've heard other well known psychics say that some don't actually know that they've passed so if you ask it what it wants and also as silly as it sounds...tell them to go towards the light then that might help him/her to go where they belong. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Try capturing EVPs in your home... Get a recorder and ask him/her questions that you want to know... "Who are you? Why are you here? Why are you messing with my stuff?" etc. If you're lucky enough, when you play back the tape you will hear the answers you are looking for.

And for all those skeptics out there... I am a skeptic turned believer. I never really believed ghosts were real until I saw and heard things that I could not explain.

Answer 6

My suggestion is using a pendulum. ANYONE can use a pendulum and from my experience most entities are very responsive. (more info on that here http://www.llewellynjournal.com/article.php?id=471)
You could also use a talking board to communicate (Ouija if you want a brand name) But i don't recomend that. Not because it is dangerous (i've used one countless times with no harm) but because they're just a pain in the *** to use. Try the pendulum! I bet you'll like it! You can buy one or make your own with around 4-6 inches of string, jewlry chain, whatever, and a weight. it does help if the weight has a point at the bottom. feel free to email me at [e-mail] with deeper info and i'll actually try better to help.

Answer 7

If he's friendly, he's probably harmless and some sort of a guide. Just express slight frustration and it'll stop. Though can't guarantee that it won't come back down the road.

My spirit friends seem to have taken a trip back to the other side for the last year or so. Haven't had any disturbances, hmmm now that I think about it, I kind of miss them.

Answer 8

He wants attention. Have you asked him what he wants? BTW...I don't think he's spirit guide. Just a wanderer, someone attracted to you simply b/c you can sense his presence. Try asking him what he wants or how old he is. But I just get mischievous, like maybe he's a child, or teenager, as that's what I get, a child like presence, and I dont' think he means any harm, I just think he likes you, likes playing games with you.

Tell him you don't like him doing those things and that he needs to stop. Be firm but polite (it's YOUR house). If you want him to leave, tell him that he can't stay anymore, that he needs to go into the light (same way you might with a houseguest whose overstayed his welcome). And if you're religious at all, say a little prayer for him, that he finds his way safely to the other side. You could even call Archangel Michael to come and get him. Literally, out loud, just say something like, "and I ask that archangel Michael come and escort this spirit off my property and into the light." If you would rather he not return, say so by maybe add the word "permenantly" in there as well (you have to be specific for some of them, particuarly the mischievous ones).

Love and light

Answer 9

Sounds more like a poltergeist than a ghost. Poltergeists are caused by extreme suppressed emotional stresses. Who in the house is the most stressed? Adolescents are the most likely, those hormones flying in all directions can create emotional/mental havoc with them.
When the stresses get too much, the person may inadvertently provide the psychic trigger and create the Poltergeist.

Answer 10

You have a haunting...more like poltergeist activity in my opinion. If I am right, the entity will probably never interact directly to you. You can however put out a recorder and or video camera in the rooms where the activity seem to happen most. You might be surprised at what you get.
