Ghosts Fact or Fiction Community Group
A place to discuss the possible existance of ghosts and the paranormal. Believers and skeptics are all welcome.
Hello! I'm new. I'm really glad I found this group. I'm a believer in the paranormal, having seen so much for myself. I grew up in a haunted house and I just called that normal. So I've got lots of stories, but I really want to talk about one and hopefully get some insights...because I don't care for what's been happening.
There was an incident some time ago, I had chalked it up to the fever I was running at the time, now I'm not so sure. I live alone and I was quite sick at the time. I woke up late one night to a weird feeling. I was laying on my side and I looked down...there was an arm under me. It was definitely not one of mine, as in one of my arms was not asleep or something. It even crossed my mind I might be hallucinating, so I poked it with a finger. It was very much there. Just as that sank in something brushed through my hair. I snapped the light on and whirled around, but the other side of the bed was empty.
Fast forward about a year or so, last weekend I was trying to sleep. I wasn't asleep yet, but I was laying down with the lights out. I hear the sound of the blankets behind me being moved. I figured it was one of the cats. Then I felt a hand go through my hair. My first thought was "Oh god, I REALLY hope that's a cat". I sat up very suddenly and looked. There was no cat.
Now here's the thing. I'm no newbie. I regularly cleanse and sage out of habit; the same way I vacuum the carpets out of habit. My apartment doesn't have any kind of permanent activity happening. I have no idea what this thing is and why it's so random. But I sure haven't been sleeping enough since last weekend!

Interesting. Did a love one who has passed ever do that to you as a child or something? Run their hands through your hair? The reason I asked is my sis would walk into the room when I was sleeping and hit my toes to wake me up growing up. Sometimes If I sleep with my feet hanging out the bed, I will feel someone hit my feet and I wake up. I know it had to be her letting me know she's here. Just a thought.
There are people her that have more insight on ghosts and cleansing. Welcome.
Since i have no expertise in this area I consulted a friend that does. She read your posting and recommends...
Dear Friend,
It's clear to me that someone is trying to get your attention from the other side. My impression is it's someone who was close to you in life because they feel free to caress your hair. This is a gesture I feel that is meant to comfort. However, I'm not a medium and I can't ascertain for you the intent behind this manifestation. I strongly suggest you find a spiritualist church and have them recommend a medium for you to consult.
In the meantime, I suggest that you do a little shopping. Buy some pure sea salt, distilled water and a plant mister. Make sure you have a large clear glass container on hand. In a large pot, bring the distilled water to a boil and add about a half cup of sea salt. Make sure the salt is completely dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool and check to see if any salt settles to the bottom. If so, boil the water again until the salt is completely gone. When cool, pour the mixture into the clear glass container and place in a window that faces east for three days. If you have no window, place it next to the east most wall in your apartment. Fill the mister with this now blessed water. Holy water is not recommended here because it can make matters worse if you are dealing with a negative energy.
You also need to add sweet grass and sage to your smudge. If you can't locate them locally, they are available on line. Thoroughly smudge your living space starting from the place where this manifestation occurred. Be careful to smudge closets and storage spaces as well. Then point the nozzle up and mist around your bed and underneath it as well. Be careful not to soak the bedding...
just a gentle mist into the air that will float down to your bed. Mist the rest of your apartment if you are inclined.
As you are doing the smudging and misting, release your fear and state your intent that only good and loving energy is allowed in your living space. It is essential that you turn your fear to strength
so that any negative energy will understand it is not permitted in your home. Make sure to smudge yourself then add sea salt to a deep bath to cleanse yourself as well.
The medium should be able to help you determine if a loved one is attempting to contact you and will help you make contact. Best wishes to you for a positive result.
