After moving to Riga through marriage, we (my husband and I) settled into an apartment where he had been living for over five years. Initially, my husband was not very spiritual at home, though he would visit the temple occasionally. But things changed after I arrived. I am a devoted follower of my faith, and I began chanting, singing, and listening to spiritual songs daily.
Soon after I started practicing my spiritual routines, I began noticing strange and unsettling changes around the house. It started with small things: the lid of a cooking pan moving on its own, objects mysteriously falling down, and the TV turning on by itself whenever someone entered the house or a specific room. Hooks on the walls would fall unexpectedly, especially when I was praying or discussing spiritual topics.
As the months passed, the disturbances grew stronger and more frequent. My husband, who had never experienced anything unusual in the house before, started noticing these strange occurrences as well. One of the oddest things was our gaming console vibrating on its own, even though it was not in use, and this always seemed to happen when I was chanting or talking about God. Sometimes, we would be startled by objects falling down, only to find the window had been left open, reminding us that we needed to close it. At other times, we would see that the stove had been accidentally left on, even though we thought we had turned it off. However, on some days, nothing out of the ordinary would happen, and everything would seem calm.
The disturbances were intermittent, but they seemed to increase in intensity over time. These events made us start questioning whether there was something more to these occurrences than mere coincidence. Despite the logical explanations, the frequency and timing of the disturbances felt too uncanny to ignore.
As we began searching for a new house, the disturbances in our current apartment only seemed to intensify. It was as though something unseen was controlling the space around us. Whenever we would sit together and discuss positive spiritual things or engage in uplifting conversations about our faith, objects near us would suddenly fall. It felt as though a powerful force was actively interfering with our peace.
These unsettling occurrences grew stronger, and we started to feel a sense of being controlled by whatever this unseen force was. We were no longer able to freely talk about God or engage in positive spiritual conversations without something unsettling happening - objects would fall, lights would flicker, and there was an overwhelming sensation of being watched or influenced.
The emotional toll was hard to ignore. We started to lose sleep, feeling restless and uneasy, and neither of us felt comfortable in the apartment anymore. We could no longer relax in the same way; even our favorite activities - those small comforts that brought us joy - were disrupted by this strange energy. For a week, we even stopped doing the things we loved, trying to avoid any further disturbances. It was as if we were both caught in a space that no longer felt like our own.
With each passing day, the need to leave this place grew stronger. We felt trapped, as if something was preventing us from moving forward. We searched for paranormal investigators to help understand the situation better, but it seemed that such experts were not readily available in our area. After considering the situation, we decided that the best course of action was to move to a new apartment while ensuring we spiritually cleanse the new home before settling in.
As for the current apartment, we've decided to leave it undisturbed, allowing whatever energy or influence may be present to remain where it is. We are planning to transition into our new space with spiritual cleansing and prayers, hoping that this new beginning will bring us peace and relief from the disturbances we have experienced. We look forward to regaining our comfort and continuing our spiritual journey in a space free from fear and disruption.
