I recently awakened and am not sure if I am experiencing spiritual activity or if it is something else. Until now I’ve been able to rationalize the strange things that happen to me, because there always seems to be a “logical” explanation. But, I think at the same time there is always a spiritual explanation, and somehow the spiritual answers have become much more satisfying. Anyway, I’m rambling now...but I wanted to give you a little to work with. I suspect the spirit (or one of them, at least) is a child, or at least whatever it is, it’s small. I’m 5”1, and it comes to about my hip. I can’t see whatever it is, I can feel it though. It’s been around for quite a while.
The reason I’ve decided to finally post about it, is that I’ve noticed scratches on my bedroom door at home, that are about at the same height of whatever it is I feel to be present. Ive searched the forums a bit and was unable to find a chain on this, although I’m sure there is one. If you are still reading, and happen to know where one of these chains is, or some other online resources, please let me know.

Hi...you do have a spirit in your house...and apparently it's not a nice one...I was told to smudge before I answered this...lol...So I did....if you know how to smudge you should do so...it may leave since some entities don't like it...I had one that scratched my bathroom door in my former home....at 1st I thought it was caused by being too dry...but I later realized after I woke up to find a hand print on my leg...it was caused by an entity...I had someone come in to read my house...and I regretted it....I've had more trouble from this human than from spirit and entities....So if you do have someone come in to help you...be careful....I personally would give myself a personal smudge from head to toe and smudge inside the house from top to bottom and outside....

Hi...yes they can follow you if they decide too....in my own experiences I sense and hear spirit everywhere....I try to make it a good experience for them and for me by acknowledging them and being polite....even if they're seemingly evil and with bad intent....sometimes it won't work as they can be violent if they want to be too...no the oil diffuser won't work at moving them out....but you CAN make some medicine pouches to carry on your person if you can't smudge....use cotton fabric and tie it with hemp cord...use white sage, ceder, sweetgrass and a pinch of tobacco....it's the exact ingredients i use for my smudge when i want a little extra kick...tie it up and just put it in a pocket....or if you don't have pockets you can use the hemp for to make a necklace....like a pendant...and wear round your neck...amethyst is also really good to carry as it's connected to the divine...I had one attack once and when I picked up the amethyst the attacker faded away...So I picked up a few big chunks and have one by my bed and in the living room....lol...I do get a lot of visitations by spirit...to me it's become a normal way of life and I'm not afraid of it anymore...but I've had to set a few rules....lol...also another method I use is making a spray...using white sage...ceder...and sweetgrass....put some in a spray bottle and fill with water...or you can heat some water add those herbs let it steep and cool then pour into a spray bottle...I'll spray rooms...around my doors etc....if a spirit doesn't like it they can leave...it's REALLY good at clearing all types of negative energy...lol...I cover my smoke alarms with plastic...and duct tape...I found a couple nice sized plastic bowls that fit around them....but plastic bags with no holes works just as well...
Thank you!!! I’ll be setting some ground rules

I'm getting the spirit in your family home is coming in from outside somewhere....maybe if you can smudge your yard....and garage/shed.....if it's not too big....but definitely put some protections around the windows and doors to the house....again...you can place crystals beside the doors or the pouches to ward them away from the house....then maybe in any buildings you have on your property....you can also just sprinkle...I like to use the ceder...where ever you want...take a handful and just sprinkle it in dark places...some people use see salt...you can use that too...but ceder is a much gentler cleansing energy I think....you can use sage in this method too...I personally don't like driving spirit away as they need healing help as well...but there are some that need to be made to leave...but I'd rather do it in a gentle manner as opposed to an angry and hateful one....doesn't feel right to me....lol
Thank you again, your advice is very helpful! Unfortunately I don’t have any of the equipment. My parents live in a rural town and I don’t believe there’s any place near where I can buy these kinds of things...sorry to continue commenting, I am just not sure what to do.

Not sure how much of this is actually related. But all of these things freaked me out, so I decided to go buy cigarettes. When I went to the garage the energy in there was way off. I left quickly, but left one of the garage doors open because whatever is going on in there, keeps opening one of the garage doors. No one in the family will take responsibility for leaving them open, so I’m thinking maybe it’s the spirit?

Update: the mask belongs to my brother. He got it on a trip long ago. I think the mask wants to be returned to him, but when I suggested this to him he told me (in certain words) that he would not respect the mask. I cleaned the mask three times, and have placed the mask in two different locations after retrieving it from the woods. I think the mask is a he. He seems to be more pleased with his current location than the rest. It is technically not on our property, according to the deed. That is the best I think I can do, while also making sure it was in a place where it would not be damaged or disrespected by a stranger. I have a friend coming over tonight, who owns the necessary things for smudging and protection. My friend says they are unable to bring them tonight, but will in the near future. I'm wondering if I should ask my friend to take the mask home, respect and protect it, until he is able to get his smudging kit for me so I can release the energy... my friend believes in the spiritual world, so I believe if he is willing to take the mask, then he would respect it. However, the mask seems to want to stay close to me...and I feel that I must respect the mask's wishes...this is all very confusing...

I’m trying to figure out if he wants me to take him home with me...back to school...but I’d have to take him on an island vacation first lol...I have a feeling he wouldn’t appreciate being put in a suitcase... and there’s a woman at the museum in town who might be able to help me figure out who he is...would he be okay with me showing him to her?
