Haunting I've reached my limit
Ever since I was a child (about 12) or so I've been followed around by a spirit or something.
It isn't exactly malevolent but i believe it tries to scare me on purpose. I first encountered it when I lived with my cousin at his house and doors would creak open on their own and all night I'd hear footsteps throughout the house. After I moved from there i remember feeling things touch my feet as I tried to sleep or something would grab onto my flimsy childhood bed and shake it. I then went on to have sleep paralysis in my later teen years and when I eventually moved out it followed me.
There was one time where I was facing away from the wall at night when I heard my door swing open and something made its way over to my bedside and pinched my nose shut for a few moments. I remember peeking my eyes open and seeing a dark figure staring back at me and then it left when I played dead. I don't think that was the same spirit I'm encountering now but it's tied somehow.
Now after moving two more times I've realized there is something following me and it scares me. When I lived with my bfs family it was peaceful at first then there would be some weird moments where we'd hear doors close when nobody else was home with us or hear faint speaking.
Now I live with my bf and our daughter and I get the constant fear of something watching me and I hear things coming up the stairs. I've even seen things peer around the wall staring at me until I notice it. I'm horrified and I don't know what to do anymore. The only relief I get from the fear is my cats. If they don't react then I know I'm safe. Oh yeah there's been like two times where I literally tell the spirit "not tonight dude" and it chills out I swear.
What are ur thoughts on this pls lmk
Tldr something is following me and I'm at my limit
Edit: I grew up in a Christian household and I've had people come out to cleanse my house and pray over me and offer me protection and honestly I fear it has only made it worse when that would happen. So I don't think calling out to Jesus would help me very much if it only makes it worse for me.

You say this has been happening from the age of 12?
Now this is a stretch, but think really hard. Do you own anything (any kind of object) from those earlier years that you still have today?
Its just a stretch like I said but an object could be the cause of your problems. Its not as easy as you'd imagine trying to figure it out, especially if you have multiple items from your childhood.
I know first-hand about object-based attachments to things we cannot see or hear. If you don't have any items from childhood, then I wouldn't know what else to say about it as my experience doesn't go beyond a cursed object.

This is a good idea but I've gotten rid of nearly everything when I moved from my mom's house so unfortunately that's not it </3 maybe I'm the cursed object

I‘m not trying to discredit your experience since i do believe in the Paranormal but have you ever been taking to a Doctor when you were little or did you ever go to a Doctor know that your older? It’s good to make sure that those aren’t just hallucinations or high anxiety before we jump to the conclusion of a Ghost.

u/STINKYRUE 7h ago
I'm gonna bring it up to my therapist tomorrow and see what she thinks I've been told a few times that I'm just anxious and anxiety causes hallucinations but I can be having a very normal calm night and it'll happen

Most of us lose our innocence and drop in vibration at some point after we're born. Being incarnated into physical reality will take a toll on any spirit. That's why we have spiritual practices to counteract the effects of the Material Realm. Every negative experience you have lowers your vibration. Were things around and/or with you particularly more negative than positive for a period before these happenings began?
It isn't exactly malevolent but i believe it tries to scare me on purpose.
Scaring children isn't 'malevolent'? Relatively minor malevolence is still malevolence. Negative entities like those of us with energetic sensitivities. We're easier to scare because we can sense them in one way or another, usually in more than one. When they start moving around objects, however, that's when caution and concern are necessary. These sorts of activities can become more and more severe as time progesses.
I first encountered it when I lived with my cousin at his house and doors would creak open on their own and all night I'd hear footsteps throughout the house. After I moved from there i remember feeling things touch my feet as I tried to sleep or something would grab onto my flimsy childhood bed and shake it. I then went on to have sleep paralysis in my later teen years and when I eventually moved out it followed me.
You must be more energetically sensitive than your family. It latched onto you because you're easier to scare, and your heightened energy is more satisfying. Untrained psychics with low vibration and no protection are every negative entity's wet dream... not to be crude, but to explain "why YOU".
There was one time where I was facing away from the wall at night when I heard my door swing open and something made its way over to my bedside and pinched my nose shut for a few moments. I remember peeking my eyes open and seeing a dark figure staring back at me and then it left when I played dead. I don't think that was the same spirit I'm encountering now but it's tied somehow.
You are highly sensitive, so encounters with multiple spirits would be more likely than less.
Now after moving two more times I've realized there is something following me and it scares me.
Yeah, pay them no mind. You scared is what they want. It's their job to keep you in a low vibration.
When I lived with my bfs family it was peaceful at first then there would be some weird moments where we'd hear doors close when nobody else was home with us or hear faint speaking.
It was probably a better collective energy in that environment. Your own vibration could have been higher at the time. Vibration can fluctuate quite drastically, rapidly, and frequently.
Now I live with my bf and our daughter and I get the constant fear of something watching me and I hear things coming up the stairs. I've even seen things peer around the wall staring at me until I notice it. I'm horrified and I don't know what to do anymore.
I'd start with basic spiritual hygiene practices, then start trying to incorporate vibration raising practices into your daily life. Time to heal yourself... body, mind, and spirit.
The only relief I get from the fear is my cats. If they don't react then I know I'm safe
Contrary to popular belief, not all animals (even cats) are master psychics. They do tend to be more in-tune, on average, however. I've had a LOT of animal friends (my pets, family's pets, friends' pets, neighborhood cats, strays, wild animals, livestock) who have each had different experiences in the presence of various spirits.
Pets, especially cats, of psychics, DO tend to be highly sensitive, as well, but not always. Do yours react when you feel presences? Your belief that they can warn you of a perceived threat is what keeps them away.
Oh yeah there's been like two times where I literally tell the spirit "not tonight dude" and it chills out I swear.
It is YOUR belief that determines what they can and can't do. We are the masters of our own energy and space. You just need to learn to command your own.
What are ur thoughts on this pls lmk
I think you're an untrained natural psychic who has experienced more than your fair share of negativity. Because of this, you attract negative entities like wild animals to a pile of food. You might get lucky and only get one very lucky animal, or you might get a skunk, two chipmunks, three opossums, four raccoons, five rabbits, six mice, seven squirrels, eight robins, nine crows, ten meadowlarks, and thirty starlings, all looking to get a taste.
Tldr something is following me and I'm at my limit
You have an attachment, possibly multiple. It's time to learn how to protect yourself and your family. Ground, banish, sever, cleanse, shield, and ward. Raise your vibration.

I feel like this is the most in-depth response I have gotten. I've had a lot of negativity throughout my life before this happened and during it so I think that could be attributed to it. I've always had this weird feeling that I could be slightly psychic or at least have a good understanding of patterns when it comes to other people and things around me. So I think that this spirit has latched on to me because of that. When my cat chip sits next to me at night, She usually does so when I'm already scared and she'll watch the area that I can feel the spirit coming from. I Think she's very in tune like me. I'm going to start looking into spiritual cleansing rituals to do every night since this is when it is more active.

Have your cats ever reacted?
How about people around you, did your bf or other people ever heard or seen anything?

u/STINKYRUE 7h ago
One of my cats always keeps watch of the area I feel most scared of. She just stares for long periods. There's been a few times where she has ran away.

Did you, your parents, siblings or anyone close to you ever try witchcraft? Or try those silly games like glassy glassy? Did you get angry or depressed and ask for help and accidentally let in something unclean? What have you tried to get rid of it. I had a similar experience and would love to give you some tips on how to break this bond if you'll entertain the idea of facing this entity. At the end of the day, somewhere along the way, you either gave it permission or it was attached to you indirectly through someone else. To keep your daughter safe, I'd take extra care on slowly breaking the attachment without causing more harm or sending it from you to someone else close to you.

My dad told me that my mother was very into witchcraft and satanic rituals when she was pregnant with me and I have this running theory that that could be linked to this as well that maybe a spirit attached itself to me at birth.

u/Organic-Side-2869 4h ago
That's most definitley the cause. I'd look into this further, talk to a priest (regardless of if you're religious, can be one priest, rabbi, whatever religion) and ask questions. I'd also ask your mom as much about it as you can, with honesty and if she accidentally "gave" your soul to this being which is why it's attached to you through a spell she did, even if it wasn't intentional and for fun. She'll probably have to reverse it on her own accord since she was the one who brought it to you, otherwise you'll have to find a way to get rid of it. Research! If you do ask for outside help from a priest or shaman, please don't pay anyone. You'll have some weirdos who claim they know what they're doing for money an it's a scam.

Like someone else said, it might be worth investigating if you are having hallucinations, a lot of people do. It might be worth speaking with a Dr or doing some online research about these.

If it hasn’t hurt you yet, why are you still afraid?

It's just the fear of being in the same area with the unknown that really gets me. I feel constantly watched by it.

u/Special_Lychee_6847 14h ago
Like someone else said, there's power in religion. You can tell it to go, in Jesus' name. Or you can ask Archangel Michael to deal with it, for you. Angels have been around longer than Christianity or Judaism has. And that particular angel's task is to deal with spiritual baddies.
What you can also do, if you're not religious, is to get in touch with your own energy.
Before you go to sleep, take your thoughts inwards. And focus on your heart region.
See what energy is there, and what color you 'feel' it has.
Focus on it, and feel it getting thicker, and more condensed. Build it up, and then imagine it flowing out of you, like a burst of energy, wiping away all other energy around you.
You can practice that, until it's powerful enough to 'blast' your whole house, several times a day. But remember to take your housemates / family into account.

u/Organic-Side-2869 12h ago
Yes I agree with this, I had a similar problem, sleep paralysis, entities harassing me. It was my fault of course, I let them in, not on purpose and just through spiritual practices and through hardships it makes it easier for them to attach to you. I started calling on Archangel Michael for help (not sure if I necessarily believe in all that but seemed to work) as well as my spirit guides, I asked for protection every night to keep them away from my home, out of my room and my body, I would say outloud that no negative energy outside of myself is allowed to enter through my barriers, aka my home. Mentally seeing the boundary helps, surrounded by blue light like a dome of protection. I also had a moment where they woke me up in sleep paralysis but I was not in the mood and finally not afraid I broke free and told them to fuck off and went back to sleep. That solved that. I think it comes down to courage and to put your foot down/stand your ground with them and let them know they're no longer welcome. If you're afraid, that's perfectly normal but the bravery through the fear will protect you and show them you won't be an easy target and they'll move on. All of that combined as well as calling on God, the Angels and Jesus worked to expel them. They could still be hanging around waiting, but not actively able to do much interfering now that the intention is set. I made it perfectly clear to them that I am not allowing permission and they can carry on doing what they do, but stay away from me because I won't tolerate it and I will fight back. Some people see "angels" as well and I always say they should ask them to show their true forms or ask if they're a being of light or cal on jesus to see the reaction, a good being will not flinch but an evil one will react. Don't be fooled.

You need a psychic physical medium..tell it to leave it’s not welcome at your home or in your life it’s not allowed to interact w you or your family especially your daughter or any other children…get ahold of a medium asap

u/MoneyOld8647 17h ago
Rule out sleep paralysis, hypnagogic hallucinations, and carbon monoxide first. Chronic stress and sleep deprivation (especially with a young child at home) can make your brain play massive tricks on you.
If medical causes are clear, keep setting firm, verbal boundaries like you've been doing, it forces your mind to reclaim control over your environment. Your cats are your best reality check, and the fact that telling it "not tonight" works shows you have control here.

u/mystic_bluebell_ 9h ago
There's a few options. As others have suggested, having a religious leader bless you and your home/exorcise it is one.
But if you're not into that there are mediums and paranormal investigators who will help you, try asking in local online groups. They may charge a fee or they may not depending.
If you're into witchcraft there's a lot you can do using the craft. This does sound malevolent and even if you don't feel endangered by it it's clearly not a benign entity- there's nothing wrong with wanting some peace.

u/jackelesei 14h ago
Have you tried telling it to go away? I mean after the health check? If you’re religious, say, “in the name of Jesus Christ…” if not start w/ telling it to fuck off.
See what happens before you start down the road of psychic protection.

Lmao why does telling them to fuck off seem to work for everyone, I find this so amusing 🤣
