Male Spirits

I have been sensitive my entire life, my mom is as well. I have experienced some crazy things and I don't think I will ever lose the scene of fear I get when I realize I am not alone. Last night was one of my more frightening experiences.

Currently I am living in Wilmington, North Carolina with my husband in a rental house that is 54 years old. I usually read at night to help myself settle down from the day. I started to feel sleepy so I put my book down and I closed my eyes. I was in the state of being half asleep and half awake when I heard a very low almost raspy but clear male voice say, "Well, hello there". It scarred me half to death. I sat up and looked around but I couldn't see anything. My dog Oula was sitting on her bed staring at the blank space next to me in the bedroom.

My mom has always told me to try and not be afraid; fear gives the spirits energy. She taught me to talk to them, tell them they are scaring me and ask them to leave me alone. So, that's what I did and out of the corner of my eye I saw movement. I turned to looked and I saw what looked like a blob of transparent mass, almost like it was made of moving water. I started to talk to it again, telling it that I needed to sleep and asked it to leave me alone. As I was talking it moved toward the edge of my bed toward Oula. She started to growl and ran over to the bedroom door. After a while of nothing happening she went back over to her bed and laid down.

I'm not sure how long I was awake but I started to drift off to sleep when something poked me very hard on the back of my thigh. It came across my bed and poked me. I was immediately wide awake and I couldn't see anything in the room. I asked it why it poked me and told it that touching me was off limits, not OK. No sooner then the words came out of my mouth something grabbed my foot. I yanked it back and called Oula, who was growling, onto the bed. My husband didn't wake up at all, he sleeps like a rock. After a long while Oula and I both calmed down and I was exhausted. I closed my eyes but was fully awake and something yanked my hair. I opened my eyes, Oula was growling again and I honestly didn't know what to do. I started to cry and next thing I know my husband is kissing me on the forehead as he leaves for work. It finally let me be and I got some sleep.

I'm not sure what happened, if this was a passer-through as I like to call them or something more serious. I guess we will see what happens tonight. As a precaution I am smudging the house today.

I have been told by other sensitives that male spirits are attracted to me. I'm not sure why and it freaks me out. My husband is a firm believer, but only since he has met and lived with me. Any insight on what could be causing this?
