Hi, My name is Stephanie and I have a ghost in my house! First a little history. We moved in to this house eight years ago and bought it for a great price. Apparently the owner was very sick and dying of cancer. His wife needed to sell right away as they now lived in New York and were renting the house out.
I was always scared to go up and down the stairs, I would get a creepy feeling. One morning, my daughter said she was having a bad dream, woke up and there was a man in a dark cape and a hat looking at her, she closed her eyes, and when she reopened them, he was standing behind the door, she could only see his hat above the door. This would mean he was eight feet tall! She closed her eyes again and it was walking down the stairs.
Maybe a few weeks after, my other daughter told me of a very similar experience with the same caped man in a hat. I had a dream also, something loud woke me, it sounded like a marble bouncing on the floor and I was paralyzed, in my dream I saw a very tall caped figure in my daughter's room, I tried so hard to move so I could get up and help my daughter but I couldn't.
I called my mom, and told her that she might think this is crazy but I think I have an evil spirit in the house. She, I, and all my aunts started praying and I no longer felt scared. But every time I mention the ghost something happens. I was talking to two of my girlfriends about it on my patio, when my daughter's remote control car went crazy. It didn't think it was even working. We were watching a show about ghosts with my mother in law and told her about our ghost, when the back door swung open and my mother in law's walker moved about three feet on it's own. It was as if to say "hi I'm here".
I feel it is a guardian. I am no longer scared.
Since you are the one who is experiencing this entity who wears a black cape and hat you must have some sort of intuitive gut feeling about this entity of whether it makes you feel that you are safe within its presence or not. If anything or anyone makes you feel afraid or that your well being or your family's well being is that of a feeling of danger or darkness it is up to you to find ways in which to either remove the entity from your residence or you can also choose to move. The entity may well be the past owner who wore such apparel when he was alive and is coming back in ghost or spirit form. Generally, in my own waking and dream state visions, when the male gender feeling man in a black cape and hat shows up, he is generally not of good intentions. The stronger the personality you are and the stronger you are in your belief system, the less these type of entities can enter into one's residence or life. Again, this is based on my own belief system, you are always free to choose all, some or none.
Blessings of protection to you and yours, As Always, Abby
