The Man In The Shadows

A lot has been happening lately, comfortable and uncomfortable things. Some of these "happenings" just leave me curious and confused as to why all of this is happening. I've been experiencing things to the point where I have broken down and I shall tell you how and why now.

One day, I was sat in front of the door to my brother's room, just casually sat there listening to music as I waited on my brother to come back. When he finally came, just as I turned my head towards him to say something, I was kept completely shut and frightened over what I had just seen. I let out a small scream which left my brother worried and motivated him to ask me why I had let out a sudden reaction. I explained it all to him, about how I saw a solid figure of a man stood behind him.

Now, I really didn't believe in the paranormal and to see something like this just shook me. I did and still do believe that spirits are real but my view on seeing them had totally changed around after this incident.

I am religious and I pray more often than used to do back then which has helped me a lot because I feel more protected and safe but it doesn't end there.

When I found out that my brother was experiencing the same things as me, we told our mother and she sat us down to explain it all. We found out that she had similar things happening to her in the past too. And I had also learnt that when my mother was trying to get pregnant with her first child (me) that she was targeted by black magic and had been attacked by a shadow person. That gives me a feeling that something or someone (the spirits) may have gotten through some closed doors. I'm not a professional or anything but it's something I assume may have happened.

Anyway, we've had our house checked out by different mediums and they all said the same things, they told us that something was in this house. But the thing is that, I feel like there's more than one spirit in this house. One I sense is good and the other I sense as bad but not demonically bad, I can feel it in my gut. Most times, out of nowhere I will occasionally see a black mist pass by the corner of my eyes but I end up dismissing them as my imagination. The way these spirits contact me are through my dreams most of the times rather than my awake hours although I have seen this solid figure of a man twice in the same hallway I had an encounter with the first solid figure that appeared behind my brother.

At night, I feel cold touches, especially on the side of my head and the feeling pins and needles in hands. Very recently, it was as if I was completely drained of my energy and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't think straight. Hours later I was totally fine and slept well, but this isn't the only time that something like that has happened.

One night, I was sleeping and I felt this voice speak into my ear. It was vividly clear enough to make me understand the words being said and the voice was soft yet in a little harsh tone. It said something like, "You think you're clever, don't you? I'm stronger than you girl, try me." That's when I woke up, my heart was racing so fast as I looked around my room to examine if one of my siblings played a harmless yet frightening prank on me. But when I realised there was no way for my siblings to do that to me... I froze in shock. My bed was against the wall then and since my door is a bit broken and the floorboards haven't been fitted back in properly, uf you opened the door it would create a loud sound that would make anyone jolt. I'm a light sleeper by the way so there was no way that anyone could've pulled it off plus I don't sleep against the wall, I always sleep away from the wall so I would've known and felt something get on to my bed and lay beside me.

It's just confusing me, all of this. I found myself crying one day because of it. I don't know what to do. I've decided to keep myself devoted to God and to follow the light as I know that's the only thing that assures me safety. I'm sorry for posting such a long story, but I would like to know your opinions and advice on what I should do or about what's happening to me.
