Now that the storm has died down...

I joined this community after I saw it in the spotlight... I kind of thought "Hey... yeah! I know I've had some odd experiences, maybe someone can shed some light!".... I have held off posting until now as I saw the community was very busy. I didn't want to add to the cacophony.

So, right now, I think my flatmate and I have a spirit amongst us. I'm

Sounds as if you definitely have a spirit and one who is trying to interact and communicate. Perhaps it's a previous tenant who loved their home enough they chose to stay after passing. In my experience some spirits chose to stay because of happy memories. As long as you're fine with the presence and it doesn't bother you or your flatmate I would say just leave things as they are. If you want to communicate, go for it. I'd be the one asking them to please refrain from watching television so loud in the middle of the night. Just be polite about it. = D

I'd apologize... you made it feel welcomed asking if there was something you could do to help and then covered yourself with the blanket... I mean it's COMPLETELY understandable, and I'd be beyond scared myself if something like that happened, but giving spirits misleading messages is not a great idea.

I usually tell whatever presence I encounter he/she can stay as long as he/she doesn't manifest him/herself in any way and they usually obey. When they haven't (After several warnings) I've cleaned the whole house with Rosemary infused vinegar and casted them away.

I know! I did feel just awful afterwards. I felt really guilty and even more sad. I really do want to help it though, if it wants my help, of course! But that was my first ever really tangible interaction with a spirit and naturally, it did freak me out a little. I think it freaked me out even more so because I've always been a total skeptic about this sort of thing.

I think it really did want to have some sort of contact/communication with me... Next time I'm feeling quiet and sense it around, I might try again :) I'll DEFINATELY apologise for last time too. :)

Sure, it's really understandable to freak out, but it's great that you want to apologize. Having an angry spirit in the house is not fun.

This will sound "out there" but....

I Study a lot of paranormal stuff & well I've Had a Demon follow me (I even seen it on my 11th b-day & found it in a book) apparently it was "protecting" me in a possessive manner (which unnerved me because ANYTHING with a demon is bad) & it had some effect on my thinking. I guess i picked it up from my cousin because me & her are "connected" through a spell of sorts & she used to be into some harmful stuff. Yea its really scary esp if u know that they want to harm u but if u don't feel any malice from it then there's probably a way to solve the issue. U may want to look at family history or at the flat's history for starters....just don't make it too angry & good luck!
