A Lifetime of Encounters | From Curious Ghosts to Malevolent Spirits

From a young age, I have been able to perceive the presence of ghosts. In my childhood home, seeing black shadows moving around was a regular occurrence, a normal part of my reality. As I entered my teenage years, these encounters evolved, becoming more distinct and interactive.

The Curious Ones:

At 15, I had my first face-to-face encounter with a ghost. While applying makeup in the bathroom, I felt a sudden urge to look towards the open doorway. There, I saw a shadowy figure resembling a 17-year-old boy, its edges fading into the surrounding air. He stood silently, observing me with an unknown intent. Before I could react, he vanished. I felt no fear, only surprise.

A similar experience occurred in the living room while listening to my parents’ conversation. I glimpsed a 9-year-old boy, another concentrated shadow figure, simply watching me. I excitedly shared the experience with my parents, though only my mother truly believed me. These encounters left me pondering the nature of these apparitions, their human-like forms lacking discernible eyes.

The Malevolent Presence:

At 18, while at my then-boyfriend's house, I encountered a different kind of entity. He had mentioned feeling watched while using his computer, despite only his cat being present. Left alone in the house, I lay on his bed with the cat, suddenly gripped by an intense, suffocating fear. I opened my eyes to find the cat staring at the same spot my ex-boyfriend had described. Closing my eyes, I repeated affirmations of safety until the fear subsided. This experience was distinct from the previous ones; the fear felt imposed upon me, separate from my own consciousness. I realized that while these entities could evoke fear, they lacked the power to truly harm me as long as I remained strong-willed.

Confrontation and Revelation:

During a sleepover at my ex’s house, I entered a trance-like state between sleep and wakefulness. A white figure materialized from the wall, bending towards me. I opened my eyes, startled but intrigued, and the figure disappeared. This incident led me to speak with my ex’s mother, who revealed her past involvement with occultism. She described a similar white figure that had terrified her, prompting her to abandon her occult practices. The entity, however, remained, lurking within the walls and affecting the family.

Messages from the Beyond:

My connection with the spirit realm continued through meditation. While sending healing energy to a hospitalized friend, I entered a trance and heard a voice say, "I know what you feel." This brief message left me with unanswered questions about the nature of my connection to the spirit world. Another trance experience occurred while lying in bed, this time with the message "listen" from one of my ghost friends. It prompted me to reflect on whose guidance I should follow – theirs, my family's, my own intuition? Ultimately, I have learned to trust my intuition as my guiding force.

A Tangible Threat:

My partner’s mother, a spiritual woman, discovered a tiny voodoo doll hidden in her unused glasses case. The doll emanated a powerful, repulsive energy, heavy with malice. Even after burning it with white sage, the doll remained untouched by the flames. This experience underscored the potential for tangible harm within the spirit world.

Battling a Witch:

During a subsequent stay at my partner’s house, I was pulled into a trance-like state by a malevolent spirit attempting to possess me. I resisted throughout the night until I awoke the next morning, exhausted but free from the entity's grasp.

A Moment of Joy:

Not all encounters have been unsettling. While enjoying a book at a local coffee shop, I drifted into a trance and heard a little girl's joyful laughter. It was a brief, pleasant experience that left me feeling uplifted.

A Shared Vision of Evil:

Recently, as I lay in bed trying to sleep, a demonic figure with a malevolent smile appeared in my mind's eye. Simultaneously, my son awoke crying, seemingly terrified by the same entity. This shared experience served as a stark reminder of the darkness that can manifest within the spirit world.

Through a lifetime of encounters, I have learned to navigate the complexities of the spirit realm. While some spirits are merely curious observers, others harbor malevolent intentions. The key, I believe, lies in maintaining inner strength and trusting one's intuition to discern between benevolent and harmful entities. This journey has been both unsettling and enlightening, shaping my understanding of the unseen world and my place within it.
