david, something i do not understand- you posted this thing like 5 days ago- would you let a thief or murderer in your home so long? if this is real, then it is much worse. you have an obligation as the head and guardian of your family to get off your butt here. do not daly- idle hands, you know. get to a priest and stop waisting time. i do not mean to be harsh, but if these things are m ore than imagination then it is a very bad situation. they don’t just go away, they come back if the proper measures are not taken- sometimes they come back in different ways, but they always come back if they have not been properly kicked out. be careful, whatever happens from this point on (if you do not get that house blessed soon and continue to follow christ) will be on your head on judgment day because you are the head of your house. this is very serious stuff
 
Agreed. These types of infestations tend to go from the “parlor tricks” you are seeing to real spiritual harm.

Here’s a prayer to say in the meantime while you arrange for that house blessing.
Trusting in the promise that whatever we ask the Father in Jesus’ name He will do, I now approach You Father with confidence in Our Lord’s words and in Your infinite power and love for me and for my household and family, and with the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, Blessed Archangel Michael, my guardian angel and the guardian angels of our household and family, with all the saints and angels of heaven, and Holy in the power of His blessed Name, ask you Father to protect our household and its members and keep us from the harassment of the devil and his minions.

Father I ask in desire to serve You and adore You and to live our lives for You that You build a hedge of protection around our household, like that which surrounded Job, and to help us to keep that hedge repaired and the gate locked so that the devil and his minions have no access or means to breach the hedge except by your expressed will.

Father, I am powerless against the spiritual forces of evil and recognize my utter dependence on You and Your power. Look with mercy upon me and upon our household and family. Do not look upon our sins, O Lord; rather, look at the sufferings of your Beloved Son and see the Victim whose bitter passion and death has reconciled us to You. By the victory of the cross, protect us from all evil and rebuke any evil spirits who wish to attack, influence, or breach Your hedge of protection in any way. Send them back to Hell and fortify Your Hedge for our protection by the blood of Your Son, Jesus. Send your Holy Angels to watch over us and protect us.

Father, all of these things I ask in the most holy name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. Thank you, Father, for hearing my prayer. I love You, I worship You, I thank You and I trust in You. Amen.

I just wanted to add, while I do believe you should get your house blessed as soon as possible, it is good to know that sometimes, depending on what is in your house, it could get worse by having the house blessed. I am not saying that it will, just that it is a possibility. Because of this, it would be good to start documenting everything seemingly paranormal that goes on in the house, so if things do get worse, it will be easier to have a exorcism performed (it requires a lot of documentation). Also, someone mentioned calling “Ghosthunters,” I don’t know if they were joking or not, but it would be good to call a paranormal investigator to come out and try to catch something on camera or voice recordings, so that you have “proof” to show the church, again, only if things get worse after the blessing of the house. Sometimes the blessing of the house is all that is needed, other times it not.

Most importantly, make sure you attend mass and receive communion as often as possible (daily if you can), go to confession weekly, pray often, read the bible out loud daily while at home, and keep blessed objects, like water, rosaries, candles, crosses, etc with you at all times. It is important to remember that sometimes these things can “jump” from a house to a person. You must protect yourself from this, and the only way to do it is by shutting the door to them - by staying in grace and out of sin.

I don’t mean to scare you, but it is scary stuff and you must protect yourself and you can only do that if you have the right knowledge.

I will certainly keep you in my prayers.

The other night, my bedroom door was closed and I was drifting off to sleep and then I heard a loud sound which sounded like the bedroom door handle being turned and the door opened and then quickly pulled shut with a bang. I shot up in bed like a rocket! I thought first of all, perhaps it is my cat but then realized she had gone outside. I stayed still for about a few minutes listening. Nothing. So I got up but the thought came into my head that if someone was in the house, if I opened the door I would be at my most vulnerable and fear went through me. So I prayed and felt courage flow in, opened my bedroom door, went through the house and of course there was no one inside. Gratitude and relief flowed in and I went off to sleep peacefully. My house is not at all secure and easy to break into as are all the government houses in this poor area. No one can afford security measures.
Bethany here too, out the front, is completely hidden by bushes and trees (which I love incidentally) and so anyone breaking in would not be seen from footpath or road. This has been pointed out to me, but I will not allow the bushes and trees to be removed.

What was it at my bedroom door? I dont know, nor does it matter any more. I have had strange things happen in the house at night that I can’t explain, but so far I am still unharmed, and the cause was not human, and so dont worry about them. I can rather regularly have sounds like someone banging on the roof - doesn’t worry me, the roof is outside and I am inside. Perhaps a cat - or squirrel.

Another night I heard a loud bang and when I investigated a picture had appeared to fall off the wall and yet the hook was still in place and the wire behind the frame to hold it on the hook was still in place. Some things one cannot explain or understand and noises and sounds and unexplained falling things cannot hurt one. I’ve had sounds like someone is stacking dishes on the kitchen sink, to go into the kitchen and there is nothing and the dishes are neatly stacked as I left them.
Frankly, I fear evil in man over and above strictly supernatural evil alone.
My house is blessed and consecrated to The Sacred Heart.

Blessings…Barb:)
 
Wow. I would definitely have the house blessed and then if the activity continues, consult your priest again. Also, make sure he knows what is going on before he blesses it so that if an exorcism or whatever is needed he can do that first. I would also definitely invest in some holy water, holy salt (I don’t have this but would like to have some), a St. Benedict door seal (which I do not have but would like to have btw), and a blessed item for each room in your house. God bless and keep us updated! 👍

Hi Holly…I am not too sure to whom your post above is addressed and have a feeling it is not to me?

Blessings - Barb:)
But if perchance to me, what happens here in Bethany really does not worry me at all and I feel quite secure here spiritually in every way. I have lived here 27 years and strange happenings are not frequent and have been going on for most of those 27 years…and most all the time the lack of security here on the human side of things, one just learns to live with most of the time. There are very many women living alone around here…the home invasions and of those advanced in years is a bit of a concern at times. I have two choices, I can write the strange sounds off to something that I cannot explain but could have quite a logical explanation (my home is quite old in years, probably 40 or more and things just will go “bump in the night”), or I can let my imagination run away with me. I do have of course blest items here including a crucifix, statue of The Sacred Heart and pictures of Our Lady and St. Joseph, St. Therese and St. Rita, and a holy water font and supply. Also a statue of St. Michael…oh and four pairs of blest rosary beads. Two belonged to my Mum and Dad now dec’d…one by my bedside and one in my bag. As I said, Bethany is blest and consecrated to The Sacred Heart, which was done my a priest during the Easter Season, which apparently is the traditional time.

Hi Barb. 🙂 The post is addressed to the OP. Sorry. I should have made that more clear in my post.
 
A few months ago every time I would put my worship music on I’d have something touch my front door and wiggle the handle… it kept on doing it so I’d get up and check the door but nothing was there. I got some oil and put it on the door handle and prayed that the next spiritual thing to touch it would deal with Jesus Christ personally.

Never heard anything since. 😃

Godbless Therese I guess the strength in the Holy Spirit and Jesus blood being around is all we need at times.
Godbless

It’s unlikely that an exorcism would be performed on a person in this situation since there is no proof that anyone is possessed. An exorcism can be performed on a house any time, whether or not there are strange goings-on. I posted in this thread (post #20) a house exorcism you can do on your own or with a priest.

I have know people who tried to have a house exorcism done by a priest, and it took quite a while and they were repeatedly asked to show proof (to get it done sooner). They tried to do it themselves, and it didn’t do anything.

I am not saying that all “hauntings” need an exorcism, I just always like to be prepared for things that could happen. Indeed, most don’t need them and having the house blessed is usually good enough. I think most of these spirits are usually “good” and not threatening, but some certainly are.

Generally the kind of spirits that appear as dark shadows that dart around the room and stay away from crucifixes are not benign ones. I don’t think the OP has Caspar the friendly ghost in his house.

The house exorcism I linked to is effective even without a priest. It employs the use of exorcised salt and water, which has blessings attached to them that drive away evil spirits.
 
i do not think that it is a good idea to have this man try to chase the spirits out by himself. yes, sometimes a person can do it themselves, but from what i’ve read from the OP, this man is not prepared for that sort of thing. i strongly suggest the church be involved.
also, in regards to not needing to get rid of some spirits- this is false. this is not OZ where you can ask “are you a good witch or a bad witch?” unless they are saints confirmed in glory or the holy angels dwelling in the homes of the just, they are evil. I do not buy into that whole “lost souls” garbage. our Faith teaches that there are four last things: death, judgment, heaven and hell. Our scriptures say, “even if i go into the grave, there you are, Lord”- we cannot be lost after death because Christ is even there too. these “begnign” spirits cannot possibly be a good thing. they are dangerous and they don’t belong there. there are no caspers, there are no friendly spirits- there is only sinners confirmed in damnation and saints confirmed in glory. do not be decieved here

Agreed. My apologies if my comment about “caspar the friendly ghost” caused confusion. I was trying to make the point that the spirits were obviously demonic but I think I did so badly.

I wonder if we’ll ever hear back from the OP on whether or not he’s having the house blessed.

Oh, i didn’t think that the casper thing was confusing- it was rather funny! it was rather fresh in my mind when i wrote the post, apologies for my confusingness
 
I’m wondering what is going on too. The fact that the OP told us he was too sick for Mass is not a good sign. I think I’d have to be really bad off to not go and I’m disabled! It also worries me that there are children in the house. If something like that was going on around my children when they were small, I’d be practically a banshee getting things done!

Peace,

Gail

Do you think the spirits could be causing the sickness? I’ve read of instances when this happens, and it wouldn’t suprise me if they caused illness to prevent someone going to Mass.

To the OP: Do you really think your house is haunted? Do you have any evidence? Have you experienced things that remove any shadow of doubt that you may have?

I ask this because I and many others in this thread have posted suggestions in the belief that you are being haunted. However, have you considered the possibility that it may be psychological?

It is best to be skeptical at first in order to rule out any natural causes. This is the way you discern whether the haunting is for real or not.

If you have the time, I’d really be interested in hearing about some of the things that you’ve been experiencing?

Catholics can certainly believe that holy souls in purgatory can be here on earth - that is their purgatory. I don’t have the time to look for it now, but this was in one of the answers regarding our beliefs in ghosts in the “ask an apologist” forum (they including a link to the types of “ghosts” there are: good sent from heaven to show us the rewards of heaven, bad from hell, and the sad from purgatory - if I remember correctly - and that is not the first time that I read/heard about souls carrying out their purgatory on earth).

You are referring to the Seven Kinds of Ghosts. If there is no natural explanation for weird goings-on in a house, then I would be on the safe side and treat whatever it is as demons and get a priest in there to bless the place ASAP. Better safe than sorry.
