How to deal with the harassment of a Ghost?

[Ascetic]

I’ve been getting harassed by a ghost for over a year now, it’s like they’ve occupied a part of my mind permanently. Even sleep and waking up doesn’t get rid of this ailment.

 

Thanks to any help and guidance!

In general, ignore it.

 

In particular, process of elimination. Start by ruling out any likely physiological causes.  Then, find someone who cares, someone who is non-judgmental, curious, and available to listen.  Then.  Tell them your story.

I dont like it because it doesnt make any sense !  How does telling someone your story equate with ignoring it  ? 

 

Anyway Ascetic , do you think it just might have anything to do with this .......

Nooo, it has nothing to do with those practices. This has been around even before I started those practices. The practices in that thread are one way I cope with experiencing negative touch/things I don’t want to feel.
 

I guess most people fear demonism but it isn’t that difficult to become a part of one of the noble families in Hell. It’s a really important process being able to single out demonic interference, that’s why I’m sure it’s a ghost/evil intention.

 

Now people would say not to believe it, but it’s somewhat difficult to when it’s only been getting worse.

Okay, first off I am not denying your experience .    But how do you tell the difference between a 'demonic interference' within yourself and an 'evil ghost' interference within yourself ? 

 

And I am wondering if this other practice  (I linked to in your thread ) is related to 'Liber Jugorum'  ... that has a pretty bad rap , although the essential of the practice (aside from the 'self harm' aspect ) are valid .... some have used a tight rubber band on the wrist and snap it  to cause a little pain .

 

[ Its a very potent  method , if one is careful with it  , example ;

 

One of my martial arts instructors didnt like my sword posture and kept complaining about my elbow sticking out  and said it would be a target . I kept doing it habitually and could not stop it  and I got sick of him complaining about it so I " Well, just DO IT then then and stop talking about it  !  "   Eventually he did , whacked the outer elbow bone a 'beauty'  (wooden sword ) ... Jeee-suz !  That hurt , for some time .   But it instantly cured the  bad habit  .... reprogrammed .   Beyond that I dont recommend 'self harm '  it 'opens other doorways' . ]

What you linked to was a mental practice, no physical mutilation. There are reasons for it, along with probable precautions/baby steps if someone did try it.

 

In any case, I think a ghost has some benefit from haunting a person. I mean could it be a lot more aggressive, for sure. But it really does feel like a bad mental habit that got out of hand. Just like the mind having a sore spot.

 

Demonic interference is far different, it’s a very sincere and obvious feeling when one is being stared at by a demon. There’s also usually more than one, it’d be strange for one demon to haunt someone; more likely for a group or dozen.

 

I’m just mostly certain that it’s a ghost or entity of some kind, not a demon because a demon would be far more extreme. I’m not rolling around in agony… I just really dislike how it mentally feels. Like a bad picture or fake intelligence that somehow gains in parasitism. I just feel like the amount of lovely things I used to be able to think about has decreased because this paranormal activity. 
 

Feels like someone living in an attic responding to my stimuli. I really don’t like the feeling of posession. In any case, it is probably just like the elbow thing you mentioned. Bad habit formed out of time. Would just be nice if I could do something about it.

Thre are many paths and techniques to balance ,  fortify and purify the psyche and spirit .  I recommend taking up a practice suitable for yourself .

Intrusive thoughts can be a manifestation of OCD, have you considered meeting with a psychiatrist?

I have one already, taking meds and so on has helped with different symptoms but not this.

I might have to take things more seriously to tackle this issue. You may be right

One way is to get a Medal of Saint Benedict. I’ve heard he’s good at getting rid of ghosts.

If you want something  .... ask  for it  .

[Ascetic]

I was just hoping someone could go on with how they would deal with a ghost or apparition, from the viewpoint of there actually being a hostile ghost there

[Nungali]

Banish  it !

 

See post 7 .

[silent thunder]

Beginning to wonder if Ascetic is the ghost who's doing the harrassing...

[Paradoxal]

Assuming there is an actual ghost causing you harm, the simplest way is to blast the bitch back to the afterlife.

 

If that can't be done due to insufficient power, then ritualistic seals can also get the job done, but then ya have a cursed object to deal with (which is not fun!)

[Ascetic]

Thanks for the reply, I feel that insufficient power is the case I’m struggling with. It’s really odd being at the whims of a ghost

 This.

And this.

 

Just take care of yourself,  people who think they are possessed, are not. It's just mental illness, sorry for saying that, but this will help you understand. 

 

I've seen a clairvoyant talking about these possession cases and analyzing those people, none of them were possessed, it was just in their minds.

 

When a priests performs an exorcism, the "possessed" people BELIEVE that they are free and when this happens it stops, because they weren't possessed at all.

 

Sorry again, I'm saying this with all the respect, I'm just trying to help.

Are there any benefits to it as well?

Not everyone can perceive ghosts. You might be clairsentient (as I am). I’ve heard that paranormal investigators find clairsentients useful on ghost hunts (not something I’m interested in, but each to his own).

I would like to point out that I'm of the opinion that you're opening yourself up to the influence (which may actually be rooted in the physical brain rather than the spiritual side of things) via your practices and mindstate.

 

If you need a simple ritual that *might* help regardless, I would recommend setting a barrier up around you (which I will not give instructions on because this is not what I was asked), get a large amount of salt, and touch the salt with the palms of your hands. While touching it, focus your intent on driving the possessed energy from your body into the salt through your hands. In my experience, the energy tends to be pitch black in the mind's eye and will often turn the salt black (again, in the mind's eye).

 

You then need to safely dispose of the salt. I did this by burying it in a spot where nothing that would be eaten by humans was growing and continually blessing the spot, but methods vary here. Be aware that if you do this right, the salt will be as good as poisonous to pretty much all life, so exercise care. Also, you may need to do this process multiple times to fully get rid of whatever influence you're having. 

 

Again, despite this, I would still recommend getting some therapy and stopping with any ritualistic practice; to me, it feels less like spiritual influence and more like a physical ailment.

Bobby Brown claims he was mounted by a ghost.

 

Back when he was filming Ghostbusters 2.

 

He says the creepy house he was living in was responsible.

 

He moved and it seems never had issues afterward.

I get this side of it, totally not disenchanted. As I said I have a psychiatrist and I have meds for things I have. Some for schizophrenia and psychosis. They work great for what they are but they haven’t helped on the ghost side, neither has my practice either. 

 

Ignorance is a good answer. I could totally agree with 90% of the feasible methods are ignorance. 

But I’ve been suffering some kind of negative attention for some time now. One time I zoned out and saw this skeletal hand of a Lich reaching out towards me, it was frightening. In other cases I’ll be ignoring it and so on but suddenly face interruption out of nowhere. It’s very unpleasant having to live with this ailment.
