OK, I know this might seem like a strange situation, but here goes. My family and I moved into our current house just before Samhain of 2023. Since then, on multiple occasions, I have seen an “entity”, for a lack of a better word. At first, it stayed near my closet, but it has at least 3 times stood over my bed. I know this because in each of those 3 incidents, I have physically hit this entity; the 1st time, I kicked the side of its head, bruising my foot, the other 2, bruising my knuckles when I punched it. This is also how I know that this is NOT a sleep paralysis situation. I don’t know its intentions, but I don’t feel safe with it anymore. If anyone knows of a way to possibly remove this entity from my house, I’m really starting to fear for my own and my SO’s safety (ours is the room this entity inhabits). My brother saw this thing trying to enter his bedroom while I was staying with my SO when he was hospitalized following a stroke, so I know it’s not just my imagination. To answer questions that I know will come, I have always been able to see and hear ghosts, but this is definitely different. Thank you in advance, and blessed be.
Weird Wednesday Angel,
Hmmm, sounds quite real, I have had some similar experiences. Once I kicked it, like you and found out it **was **physically there. I had another ghost, who came with a house, like yours. He? hung out at a closet and in my bathroom when I showered. I believe he is the one who burned the backdoor, just days before I moved, everything was packed, and I guess he was mad.
I have a spirit who has stayed with me for years whom I have named Steven. My Steven is just a trickster, but I have to be firm with him occasionally to return items.
For the bad spirits, the only suggestion that I have, and that I have used on occasion, is I walk into each room and talk directly to the spirit. When the spirit angers me, I approach the conversation, as an authority figure to a child. This usually helps. Last time, Steven took my wedding rings from my finger as I slept, next day, I “in-no-uncertain-terms” told him that was unacceptable and I needed them returned immediately. Later that day, my husband found the rings inside a pair of socks! Well, got 'em back.
So, all I can say is to speak directly to the spirit and make your feelings known. It is possible that they are not trying to be malevolent, but are having an issue in the communication process.
Speak to the entity and see what happens. I would do this a few nights in a row and wait some days to see what the response is. Then, I would go from there.
Sorry, I cannot help you any better.![]()

Welcome to the Forum!
So you’ve been there… close to 3 years? That would probably rule out a Phrogger/squatter
you’d have other signs, but IDK how big/old the house is. Did you change the locks when
you moved in? May be someone who has access, even if there’s no hidden room(s).
Physical contact, are you sure you hit a body? It wasn’t occupying the same space as
furniture and you made contact with that? I’d say Jinn may be the source, but IDK why
they would take a corporeal form. They can, but doesn’t make sense. I’d get outside help.
Oh, and ‘nanny cams’ and ‘trail cameras’ are rather cheap, set one of those up.
Welcome Angel,
This is going to be a long one.
A spirit that’s strong enough to take a corporeal form is a strong spirit indeed. You need to approach this carefully. If you don’t feel safe in that room and it seems particularly possessive of it, then consider sleeping in another room temporarily to appease it until you get more of a handle on the situation.
You need to identify it and figure out what it wants, but since it already seems a little agitated, be careful of taking any kind of “tone.” Speak to it calmly and with respect, but be clear on what your intentions are.
If you’re not clairaudient, set up a spirit board, or use tarot or a pendulum to receive its messages. I also suggest following Sedim’s suggestion on setting up cameras in the house. Collect the footage at least once a week. It’s important to get more evidence of its behavior and it can help with identification.
If it’s not being up-front about its identity when you ask, then that’s an orange flag. Let us know if that ends up being the case.
And if you don’t feel safe in the house, don’t ignore your instincts! Take a “vacation” if needed - even if it’s just for a few days in a local hotel. If you do this, see how it responds to that move. If its obsession is with the house, then that will give you some relief for a few days and a calmer perspective before your next move. If its obsession is with you, then you will know by its response.
Now for the questions: Have you only ever seen it inside the house? Never outside or around you in public? Does it have any effect on surrounding temperatures - if so, does it make it colder or hotter? Does it produce any kind of smell? Have you had any unusual dreams at any point after moving into your house? Edit: Also when you see it, what does it look like? Does it emit any light or color?
Looking forward to your response. ![]()

Blessings of the Moon upon you.
If I were you, I would try to do a ritual to banish the entity. Try using sage or sandalwood to purify your home, whilst trying to calm the spirit. I’ve seen a ghost in my home before, and what I did was used a stick of sandalwood and waved it in the air while talking to the spirit. I said something along the lines of “I ask you to leave my home, for you do not belong here.” Since you had to fight it, I doubt it’ll be easy to get it out. So if you have to fight, make sure you win.
