Iāve never been a big believer in ghosts. But recently something happened that REALLY scared me. It was just past midnight and I walked into my room when I saw a face made of light on the wall above my bed. I thought It was a weird reflection of light so I shake my lamp which is the only source of light in my room thinking it would go away.it did not move. I was weirded out so I leaned down, grabbed my phone to take a picture of it and as I went up I hit my head on the lamp on accident (itās an overhead lamp). When I did that the face on the wall moved and went down into the corner of my room disappearing before I got a picture of itā¦At the point i was really freaked out so I slept on my parents room floor but I donāt know what to do now. The picture im showing you is a pic of my bed and wall with a sketched version I drew of what the face looked like. (ignore my plushies..)
Was it trying to communicate? Was it even a ghost? And what Iām asking is if I should do something for my safety if I wants to harm meā? Sorry if this is long but Iām curious to hear the forums thoughts on this because Iām scared thereās a ghost living in my room (Iāve been trying to be more active here nowadays so I thought I had to share since itās kinda related )
I have my fair share of encounters with the paranormal, ghost included.
I remember two instances of a ghost being in my house. The first event was when I walked out of my bedroom and saw an all black apparition by my mothers doorway. It was a woman, I could tell because of the long hair and the feminine build. She was poking her head out of the room. Once I noticed her, she vanished within an instant.
The second time was when it was late at night, around 11pm-1am. I was walking to the living room to have a late night smoke since I was having trouble sleeping. I go in the living room and out the corner of my eye, I see her again. She had long black hair, pale white skin and black eyes. She had said the word āDoujinā, which I thought was her saying ādanger.ā I looked only to see nothing.
That was a month & a half ago now. Since then, nothing. She hasnāt been back. Could be because of my spiritual life path, but thatās just a guess.
I have a āghostā who follows me from place to place, and harmless. However, I once lived in a house with an evil spirit. This was before I was practicing, but I did believe in spirits, because I already had one of my own.
My first question is, other than being startled when you saw this, did you have a feeling of dread, doom, or heaviness? If not, then I would say it probably is not evil, or there for harm.
If you feel that this presence is benevolent, then speak to your spirit. Maybe speak in a mirrorā¦many waysā¦that is for later.
If you feel a malevolent presence then I would perform a protection spell on yourself IMMEDIATELY. Then work on binding, banishing, boundary spellsā¦again later.
So, you need to decide for your self what kind of a spirit this is. I would suggest some before bed meditation and ask your shadow self to āspeak and reach outā to this entity. Be open to what happens.
Was the light coming through your doorway perhaps? Maybe some light was reflecting in and ābouncedā just the right way to make the illusion. (Just going off the fact that it moved after you bumped your lamp.) Did anything else feel āoffā in the room? Sudden temp changes, strange sensations, odd smells?
If you notice any more strangeness then itās possible that you have a spirit on your hands. Most spirits are pretty easy to deal with if one decides to stick around. (Like others have said, sometimes they may literally be āpassing through.ā)
Either way, if it comes down to it, weāll be able to help! Follow your instincts. If anything of what Lady Gene said rings true at all, go with her advice first!!
I didnāt feel any ādoomā so I guess that is a good sign. Now that Iāve had time to think about it, it didnāt seem very threatening at all but it was still a little scary so I think I am safe. Thanks for sharing your story and advice
Hello Wren! While it is true it couldāve been a random light coming from somewhere else, my doorway was closed and all the lights were turned off in the house because I was going to bed, so Iām not so sure of that possibility. Im only scared because it didnāt move the first time I moved the lamp which means that it was not coming from there. There were no signals you mentioned happening. While Iām reading the comments and as you said, I think itās entirely probable that it was just a passing spirit coming through. I may have slightly overreacted just because it was right above the spot where I sleep and Iāve never dealt with anything like this before so Iāll just continue to live as normal now. Thanks for the feedback!
Hmm! Now that is curious, you have my attention! If it was emitting light, and you didnāt have any weird sensations, itās also possible it could be a house-fae. I could see one pulling a trick like that. Weāll see - you know who to go to if anything else happens! lol
I can totally understand your reaction, no worries!
