A very interesting Thread, yes indeed. And a little scary.
What kind of challenges you had to face is probably outside of the realm of experience of most people. I admire you for sharing your stories bit by bit.
Yeah, it can be scary, loreta. That and what Tauriel said about my challenges being outside of what most experience is another reason why I let things out slowly. I don't want people to be afraid, but I also want to caution that there are very nasty things out there. I sleep with a light on.
A friend asked me how I've handled these occurances throughout my life and I told her that there has been nothing other but to stand and face it. Don't think that I haven't felt fear; there were times when my entire body was shaking....It was in these times that I would pray; The Lord's Prayer is always what came to mind and it would stop the activity, for a time....And that worked for those years when it was solely between me and the thing...It took years of my life to realize it was demonic.
It's a whole different level when you're facing another person under their influence. Prayers don't always work and your conviction can falter. I can't say my son was fully pocessed but he was severely oppressed and took to drinking, which made it so much worse, weakened him. There were 3 attached to him which I could see and he verified this. Two nasty drunks, he picked up in the places he worked. He was a chef, for those not familiar and new here. Bars are usual haunts of many. I could see dead owners sitting in their once favorite spot...just like I'd see any person alive. The darker deceased hide themselves and a lot of owners of establishments would tell my son and I that they hated being in the place at night, alone.
Addam picked up 2 men, working in restaurant/bars. There was one other, a very dark entity and Addam told me "It hates you, mum." A mother will fight for her child, but no mother should have to face this.
I'm getting ahead of myself here. I'll need to give space to tell of this and how others might learn from it. No one knew my son and my brother better than myself and I know how/why these things attached to them. I'm still overwhelmed by Addam's death...First thing I threw out to the Universe was, "So I have to go thru this now?" My mum's probably going to die soon and that's almost too much for me, at this time. So, I'll have to come back to this telling later.
I do want to drop this info though:
in spite of the fact of how 'out there' it sounds, is because if these kinds of things are going to be happening to some of us in the not-too-distant future, then we shouldn't try to shove them under the rug or explain them away somehow.
I'm seeing that the general public is becoming more vulnerable to paranormal dark events and intrusions. I never put myself out there as any kind of expert, let alone as some kind of ghostbuster, but people have always told me things of a personal nature (that's the empath part of myself) and when anything creepy happens...including ppl I didn't really know well or hardly at all....like maybe a teller while I was doing my banking. They'd tell me about ghosts their children were seeing and a lot of shadow man sightings...I'm pretty sure these shadow ppl are demonic; there are stories of them going back to the Black Plague. (When young, my son was stalked by a hooded one)
If you read 911 or Police Frequency news, there are an astounding amount of murders, horrific ones. Children killing children or their parents, parents killing their families, stranger attacks...Everyday. These are not crimes of passion and the methods are brutal, stabbings, beheadings, axes used....Not your 'normal' if one could say any murder is normal. Something is clearly a foot. There have been prophecies that the days will come when demons roam the earth....
I've learned of one local couple whose new home is harboring something, which to me isn't your average ghostie. This is a retired couple, very nice, very normal. And in no way was ever interested in the paranormal.
They moved back to their home area, buying a house. The husband approached my friend quietly, asking if he knew anything about ghosts. My friend, M, actually is interested in these happenings and belongs to a society which discusses and some members investigate.
The husband said things were fine until he started to remodel the previous owner's workshop, in the basement. That's when it started to get weird.
Before I go on, please, do not post this story on your social media...IT STAYS HERE, because I know these people involved and I'm going to post a photo for proof. I am extremely nervous about my friend getting involved in this.
When the husband was pulling out fixtures in the old workshop, he felt a hand on his back push him over and down. Freaked him out and he went upstairs to his wife. He told her, where the 'hand' pressed on him, felt like it was burning. She had him take his shirt off and there was indeed a large handprint of sorts, perhaps a clawed hand. She took this photo:
Since that happened, the husband saw an old woman staring at him from the doorway into the living room. He was up late watching tv by himself. He has not told his wife of this, he doesn't want to scare her.
My friend was ready to bring in his equipment to monitor and try and record any voices but the owner has become worried that they should not mess with it....That's all I know at the moment...I definitely feel that this is not a ghost, looking at that photo.
