My name is Ligia and I had quite a fright tonight! I was having a normal evening of movies and dinner in bed, is there anything better! I have to say I love the paranormal, I always have. But I have never seen anything until tonight!
I often read the stories on here and I always wondered what it was like to really see something, now I know. It takes a lot to scare me I am used to feeling like I am being watched and I do believe strongly in the afterlife. That being said I will begin my story...
I was in the basement alone on my bed everyone else was sleeping as usual. I am the night owl in the house. I got up to get my clothes out of the dryer and started folding them to have them ready for the morning, all was well I was singing a tune in my head, when I got a strange feeling. I turned to my left... That's when I saw it, the creature was like three steps away from me behind a shirt that was hanging in the basement, it stared right at me, it wasn't very tall well I am 5"4 it was my eye level, in a second it was gone.
It was brown but it had holes in it, I mean you could see right through it and I saw its hand with its long claw like fingers. It startled me for sure and I gasped and just like that it was gone... Or so I thought. Since I am very interested in the unknown and the unseen, I foolishly asked who's there. I guess that wasn't to smart... A minute later I heard rapid whispering in my ear... And my ear tingled... That's when I really got a bit scared!
The voice was a male voice and I could not tell what it said, it did however not sound too friendly!
I am open to suggestions...
Here you can try try this... I use it for my home...
Recipe for a Home Cleansing/Shielding... (allow for two or 3 days to complete)
Day one: Open all curtains window and doors with screens installed, let fresh air and sunshine into the home. Have all closets, cabinets and other 'dark spaces' open so that as much natural light as possible can enter those spaces. After 2-3 hours take a broom and 'sweep' out each room (this is symbolic and you do not have to really sweep) focus your thoughts on sweeping (pushing) out all negative energies / entities /thoughts. Close home up after completing each room of your home... Please do not forget your garage if you have one. (Optional) Light incense (sandalwood or Dragons-blood works well for me) and let aroma fill the home, and/or play a tape that contains your favorite Church songs before you begin sweeping.
Day two (or three): Once again open all curtains, windows and doors. Take a White candle (Optional) to the center most point of the home, sit on the floor and place candle in front of you. Light the candle (visualize a white ball of light) and then focus on the flame... Visualize the flame (white light) filled with positive thoughts, energy. (Say a prayer at this time if you so desire... Ask for cleansing positive energy to fill the candles flame/white light). Hold this 'image' in your mind and then visualize the flame (light) slowly expanding outward, visualize it filling the room your in, every corner and 'dark space'. Continue to visualize it expanding...it's outer edges pushing away (burning away) any and all negative energies/entities out and away from each room in your home. Once you have visualized this flame (light) filling your entire home, picture it expanding to your property lines. Hold this image in your mind for a few moments then visualize 'anchoring' this flame (light) where you are sitting which is the center most point of your home. Once you have done this. Take a deep breath, relax a few moments and then blow out the candle. (If you didn't use a candle just let yourself relax a moment or two.) "
Now you can create a shield for yourself using the 'home shield' technique but instead of focusing on your home visualize the 'flame' simply surrounding you instead of your home... Best time to do this is after a nice shower using a rosemary scented soap (rosemary is good for purification and protection.)
Keep us posted.
