How To Have a Ghost-Free Home



Living in a home that has unexplained activity can cause stress, anxiety, fear, and even anger for the homeowners. It can cause arguments and unease between family members. It can create sleep disorders, eating disorders, panic attacks, depression, and even manic-like behavior. Interestingly, those existing dynamics can also bring activity to a home. 

We can study what kinds of homes tend to have activity and which ones that do not report activity to determined a bit about what you should avoid.




Mess/Clutter/Darkness:  In Feng Shui terms, this is attracting negative energy. Cul-Du-Sacs in the home and packed corners, boxes, crowding, and no open pathways create a place for that negative energy to sit and reside. Energy is pretty much universal in that it appreciates an easy open path to keep moving. As well, packed content can cause a lot of disruption when you consider the energy that each object contains, especially objects handled by many people. You end up with a conflict that can cause bad feelings, unease, and other negative feelings. 




Residents moving in and out:  The very composition of the living within the house can create a chemistry that supports issues or alleviates. It helps to keep a watch on who is in the home when incidents happen and if activity began or ended with a person's addition or absence in the home. If this is the case, time usually readjusts everything. It is much like the "renovation" phenomena. Dynamics create disruption and harmony and stasis helps things to calm down. In this case, it's a waiting game for things to stabilize. 




Poor or no communication between occupants:  Ironically, the one time you need good communication is when you are having issues in the home, but lots of families/roommates become more detached, separate, silent and brooding. Actually talking out loud about what is going on can sometimes dismiss the action. If this brings a family or roommates together rather than dividing them, the home becomes less interesting. Do not ever let ghostly activity separate you - that is the attraction to the spirit realm. In groups, we are less intriguing. Do not become culled from your herd! 





Lack of good air/negative ions: Part of keeping away bad activity is to keep the people in the home healthy. This is vital because sickness and mental illness can create a tension and vulnerability that allows for more activity. So, I always advise if you can to keep the environment clear of smoke, have house plants to clean air, and if you can put in an ionic air cleaner or waterfall fountain; they both give off negative ions that give people a "feel good" sensation. 




Mental Illness/Emotional and Hormonal turmoil/Sleep issues:  The vulnerable are not just attractive to para activity, but it is entirely possible they can activate the situation with their very brain activity and chemistry. Poltergeist activity is noted to be higher for those with temporal and parietal lobe issues. Always remember, your home is only as strong as your weakest link. Proper medications are important to balancing the hormones and electrical activity in the brain to lessen para events. Sleep, as well, is a state in which the brain goes into alpha waves as it drifts into true sleep. During that falling asleep and awakening states, communication is very easy between the "realms." This is exactly why the dead visit us in our sleep. The key to handling bedtime "intruders" is understanding that you are better able to perceive what is there than when you are alert. There is no need for fear, simply know that visitor pass back and forth in your perception. Good sleep hygiene is critical because this is most likely to happen when you are drunk, medicated or overly sleepy. 






No focus for positive:  A "power center" is a very potent home addition and every home should have one, ghosts or not. A table used as a kind of "altar." It's not for worship, so much as gathering a lot of positive energy that you believe in, that feeds your soul and makes a place that is utterly unattractive for anything disruptive. This table can contain anything from religious text, photos of loved ones, stones, gems, geods, seashells, pine cones, plants, flowers, symbols of religious or spiritual significance, items of loved ones who wished you well, happy memories, incense, candles and more. All of it must have meaning to you, to make you feel empowered, loved and protected. The placement is ideal in a room where sun might light it up occasionally, in a main room that is central. If you have sleeping difficulties, put it in your bedroom. 







Peace, serenity and faith:  Playing happy music, hanging up happy family photos, and leaving religious text open on a table are all pleasant, protective and empowering energies. A home becomes less attractive when there is love, peace and faith.




Reclaiming your home: The simplest and often the most effective method to safeguard your home is to take it back. Out loud, as a group, announce that it is your home, there is no place for others, you will not tolerate further harassment, it is time for them to move on. Be sure you get everyone to come together for this so that it shows numbers.





Cleansing/Blessings:  Most people take the route of a blessing or cleansing for their home, hoping that will quell the negative, but it only works if you believe, as well. It is your continued belief in the practice that makes it have the power of lasting. A Catholic blessing for a Protestant is going to be pretty much, no help. So, stay within your own spiritual practices. Those who wish to burn sage, need to start in the rear of the house, work their way through the house to the open front door and out. The problem with saging is that it can work a few months and then you're back to issues again. My suggestion is simple - sage lightly the house and then do so daily. Nothing elaborate. A fast cursory going through. Do it daily for a whole month. What happens is that instead of the place wearing off, it keeps it at a constant level long enough to be obnoxious. You might also want to do a search for protective stones, protective incense, protective symbols, and more. I have found as a psychometrist (a psychic who reads objects) that stones/gems/crystals/geods have energy. It can be a powerful repellent. Some of the best protective ones are black obsidian, amber, labrodorite, malachite, cat's eye, and more.





Journal: This is one of my favorite methods. Keep a spiral notebook open. When something happens, note the time/date, where it happened, who witnessed it, who was in the house, and if there were any issues among family members that day-like argument or sad mood, etc. Do this for a month or more. What happens is a few things - one is that it is openly known to everyone that events are being documented and you go from being a victim to being an observer and archivist, a "narc," telling on the ghosts. It is not only empowering, but it takes the fear out of the factor and makes the occupants of the home no longer an easy target.


Conclusion

There are many ways to resolve living in a haunted home, but the most important things to know are that there are tools for you to use and sometimes the best thing you can do is consider it a Scooby Doo mystery. Instead of hiding from it, start observing it, poking around, being curious. It's kind of like you're saying "hey, what are you up to in the living room?"

Cemetery Safety Bells, Morbid Death Mementos and Superstitions

(funeral memento - above - with woven hair of the dead included) Giving up our dead is never an easy task and it doesn't matter what region of the world or what era you grew up in, it's full of rituals and also many superstitions. Let's have a look at how we have handled death -   (cemetery bell system - above) During the cholera epidemic in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, people feared being buried when they weren't completely dead. Many reported digging up graves of loved ones to find signs they fought inside the coffin to get out. As this would nearly be an impossibility with the weight of the earth on the coffin and lack of oxygen, the rumors did start hysteria. Patents were put out for these bells that would allow the newly awakened buried person to pull a string, ring a bell above ground that the groundskeeper could hear. Imagine how freaking chilling that would be to actually hear one go off? I had an idea for a zombie story about that but never got aroun...

Don Monroe Case Files: Unusual Carving Unearthed!

Life-long explorer, adventurer and researcher, Don Monroe, has a million stories to tell, only he's been on the road nonstop, busy hiking the back country in dozens of countries, climbing the highest peaks and crawling in the deepest caves to understand this natural world we live in. He has hunted, tracked, trapped, cast footprints, talked to Native people, continued several-decade long ongoing research projects, devoured tons of research books, and ultimately sought answers about every aspect of nature and all the mysteries within. During those travels, he came across many unusual things. What I am presenting now is one of them -  Don Monroe and a researcher friend named Massey, were up at about 7000 feet on Anaconda Range in Montana. They were tracking a bear when Don noted something sticking out of the ground, just a bit of something, but didn't look like a regular rock.  In this remote area at that elevation, the idea of running across something man-made was unlikely. He s...

The Urban Sasquatch Journal: Stick Glyphs

This is the reporting by a Bigfoot researcher of an ongoing study in the Southern part of the United States in a very large park area near homes and urban setting. LINK TO PRIOR INSTALLMENTS STARTING WITH #1 Journal Volume 3 Report #50 Saturday November 26, 2016 I arrived at the park approximately 9:52 AM. The temperature was 65 and cool. It was partly cloudy with high clouds. I had my bike with me and rode the trail first. This took 44 minutes. I was back to back to my car at 10:48 AM. I then got my pack then rode over to the site. The goal of the trail ride was to observe any new tree breaks, twists or limbs etc. broke over the trail. Also to see if any stick signs were along the trail in the grass. I did observe several interesting items on the east end. These I photographed. Trail ride observations with photos. These cover photos 1-8. #1. thru #3. Between mile markers 2.75 and 3.0 , on the north side of the trail, approximately 10' inside the treeline, these possible stick ...

Monsters in the Deepest Ocean!

The ocean takes up the majority of the surface on our world and yet so little of what is in it is known to us. Upon occasion, we come across some real mysteries, tantalizing glimpses that make us wonder. For a long time, the giant squid (above) was a legend until it was finally filmed underwater. What other legends might tell us what is in the sea? One creative thinker in 1570 drew up the sea monsters that lay in the waters outside of Iceland. Scientist and artist, Abraham Ortelius had some very fanciful ideas of what awaited the seafarer. He also pondered what might live in the Pacific Ocean. In 1644, another artist/scientist drew up what he thought might lurk in the waters off of Africa. Willem Blaeu had quite an interesting vision. In 1727, Peter Kolb envisioned a sea lion of interesting characteristics - In present day, we still run across things in the sea that puzzle us. Here is one such thing photographed at Hook Island. It was estimated to be 75-80 feet long and to this day the...

Obscure Horror Movies of the 70s and 80s

Terror of Doll Island!

Photo source Isla de las Munecas or "Island of the Dolls" (popularly coined "Doll Island") is a thing of horror for many. Why would an island filled with dolls for decades, laid to waste by the elements and neglect, be terrifying? Well, let me introduce you to its most unsettling beginnings. Don Julian Santana was unhappy with city life and moved to an island on a canalway south of Mexico City for peace and quiet. It was there that the legend begins and takes on a life that is animated enough to bring the dead to life. Don reported that a little girl had drowned in the canal 50 years ago and he believed her spirit to be troubled and haunting his little island.  He said that he was out one day when he saw a doll floating in the canal and scooped it out, hanging it up on a tree near the drowning spot to make the girl eternally happy so she would not haunt and scare him.  He then became consumed with finding more and more dolls, fishing them out of the canal, sorting t...

Ghost Ships and Fata Morgana Mirages

Fata Morgana   Fata Morgana is a complex superior mirage. In this instance, in the horizon a narrow band seen can separate an image, casting what looks like another image superior to the original object. In the image above it appears as if the ship is in the air. Below, the image shows a repeat of it up in the air. Sometimes, the image can be inverted. This occurs when rays of light are bent when they pass through layers that are different temperatures.  Flying Dutchman This legend is talked about among sailors since the late 1700s. The tale says that there was a ship's captain sailing around the most dangerous ocean strait, the Cape of Good Hope. He cursed the elements and swore he would make it no matter what. The ship went down and all perished, but they are said to continue as a ghost ship for eternity in the region of the Southern tip of Africa because of the arrogance. In fact, the legend was picked up and modified for many countries and many sea locations. Perhaps it wa...

The Most Bizarre Photographic Finds On Mars!

Mars explorers have sent back photos of some rather unusual, sometimes vague, and often times puzzling items on the surface of the "dead" planet.  This has us wondering, if our own planet no longer supported life, would all the evidence of our having been here be covered up by a millennia of earth, leaving only the occasional hint someone might have been here? Here's a look at a large gallery of photos from the red planet. You come to your own conclusions.... Th e one above, I will chalk up to optical illusion. The stone is actually on the ground in the distance. In the foreground is a rock casting a shadow.  Are we looking at a planet that seems to be dead and yet it has a history of life? What if a civilization that was quite advanced had the opportunity to leave a sick planet for a healthy one not so far away in terms of space travel? Is Mars a planet that never supported life or is it a planet that sustained life long enough to build an entire civilization now buried ...

Present Day Russian Neanderthal?

Regions with Bigfoot-type bipedal creatures have their own local names for these types. In Russia and Siberia, they are referred to as the Almas by the Mongolian people and Almasty by the Russians. These beings are described as between 5 feet tall and 6-1/2 feet tall; much shorter than the typical American Bigfoot. They are said to have reddish brown hair, flat noses, a pronounced brow ridge, and weak chin. This is a classic Neanderthal face. One thing we don't know about Neanderthal is if they were hair covered. With hundreds of thousands of years to adapt to the climate of the Altai mountains and cold northern regions, they likely were.  A boy in Russia ( LINK ) found some prints that were attributed to a possible yeti.  When you look at it, however, it resembles a Neanderthal print quite a bit with the pronounced inner curve and the angle from big to little. Could Neanderthal still exist in Russia and Mongolia? It would be as likely as my theory that the Bigfoot are d...
