I think that there is a ghost presence, or multiple, in my home. I have brought it up to my family but I’m not sure how serious they think I am.

The reason I think there might be multiple presences because at times it feels not too freindly, and at other times it feels indifferent or freindly.

I think the spirits have communicated with me in a way. I hear the words they are trying to say, and I feel their presence and it often relates to the words (if the words are hostile, that’s how the presence feels for example).

On place were there’s a lot of action is in the garage, were I do wood work and make flutes. Objects will fall off of shelves, and land a distance from the shelf. A song will come on Pandora, normally it is a song that I like, and I will “hear” something along the lines of “turn it off” or “what is this noise? Make it stop or get out!”. This seems to be more frequent when I have Christian music on. This spirit, I think, is the most hostile one, but at times it is quite indifferent.

Things fall, doors slam, shadows move etc. etc.

When I am “contacted” should I reply?

I want to go to my pastor about this but I want to make sure there is actually something going on.

Thoughts?

Whatever you do, do NOT reply or make contact. If you are hearing hostile words or feel a bad presence, it could be demonic. When did this phenomenon start? Is there anyone in your house using tarot cards, ouija boards, or anything else of the likes? If so, remove those objects from the house.

Contact a priest and he can help you further.
 
The “contact” started maybe a year or year and a half ago. Maybe longer but I can’t remember.

No Ouaji boards or anything.

I do listen to ALOT of metal, but I make sure it’s not satanic, and I’ve mainly been listening to Christian metal (white, unblack, goreship etc.) since I found out about it early last year. But like I said, the mainstream stuff I listen to, I make sure it has no devily stuff.

It would probably help your case a lot if you could also arrange to see a doctor to rule out any biological causes. Please don’t attempt any reply. The kinds of spirits that usually want to communicate with us don’t have our best interest at heart, if you get my drift.

So talk to your pastor and to your doctor. And please don’t wait. Actually I’m amazed you put up with it for so long, I would’ve fled long before.
 
True… I might be going insane… I heard geometry will do that to a kid.

All joking aside, I haven’t noticed any other symptoms of the disorders I know of that can cause audio hallucinations, but I’m no expert.

I will talk to my pastor about it when I get a chance, my parents are inviting the priests over for dinner sometime soon so maybe the pastor would be able to bless the house then.

And if nothing works, we are probably moving in a couple years anyhow so… and to a catholic community of all places.

May not even be a disorder. I’m not an expert either, but breathing in certain gases or chemicals can do this.

I’m not trying to suggest that it is you. I’m just saying better safe than sorry - and if it really is supernatural, then you want your pastor to believe you because you need his help. That’ll be easier to accomplish with a clean bill of health.

Sounds good.

Yes, but do try your hardest. You don’t want to leave it for the next occupants of your home, you don’t want it to follow you, and I can’t imagine why you’d want to have this going on even a day longer than you have to. Haha I’m a chicken about such things 😂
 
Talk with your parish priest to have your house blessed.
I would also keep a candle up as often as I can (in front of which I would pray).
 
Others have given good advice.

I’d also encourage you to make a good confession and maintain your sacramental life because it’ll provide spiritual protection.

It’d be a good idea to obtain a couple of St Benedict medals and have them blessed properly using the specific blessing - they’re very powerful sacramentals for spiritual warfare.

Pray the St Michael prayer that is said at the end of every Low Mass - the one written by Pope Leo XIII.

Finally, have a Mass said for any potential human souls in your house. They might be souls in purgatory who are trying to contact you for help. You should not assume this is the case, however, and do nothing to communicate with them. The spirits could also be demonic.

Are the voices aurally perceived or are they thoughts? Do others in the house also perceive them?
 
It’s kinda like a thought.

It’s hard to explain though.

Well, some report having physical sensations along with voices heard (not thought). Have you ever been dreaming and became aware? There the dream seems very real, but when you wake it becomes known that is was not.
 
There is no such thing as ghosts. Why don’t you run a video camera with audio while you are in the garage? You will not find any evidence.
 
I have attempted lucid dreaming, If that’s what you mean. It has not worked for me though.

I often do feel to physical presence along with the thoughts.
 
Run a camera every time you are in garage for the next week. You will come up empty.

It does not matter what word you use it is a sin to try to make contact.

CCC 2116 All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to “unveil” the future.48 Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone.

CCC 2117 All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one’s service and have a supernatural power over others - even if this were for the sake of restoring their health - are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion. These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearing charms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it. Recourse to so-called traditional cures does not justify either the invocation of evil powers or the exploitation of another’s credulity.
 
I don’t think you understood.

I was replying to the person who said ghosts aren’t real. I was explaining to him that I was talking about spirits but just using ghost (a fictional term) as a interchangeable term. Ghosts, as in apparitions, may not be real but spirits do stay on the earth if they have any unfinished business that they must take care of.

I wasn’t trying to say that because they are spirits then its fine to communicate with them.

I must ask, does this include card tricks, sleight of hand and the sort?

Not attempts at real magic, but the kind that is used for entertaining.

Cardistry for example.
 
It’s meant towards real magic. Sleight of hand and illusions are just those, sleight of hand and illusions.
