Dear Bizi,

The ghosts think that you have given them the living room.
To convince them otherwise, you have to open the doors completely and leave them open. Let the cats have full run of the place.

Who cares about the furniture?? (Are your serious??) The ghosts will move on after you tell them that they need to leave now.

You say, "Get out of the house and stay out."
This will work.

there is a tugging part of me that thinks that jeff is pulling my chain.
nothing weird happened today so maybe it worked????
I don't know...time will tell.
I know that I should not be so materialistic about our furniture....there is this one chair that hazel goes to and thinks it is a scratching post everytime! It is orange chordaroy and I love it.
I should work on this the big room has 2 pocket doors that have french doors with glass hung so you can see thru them. Jeff uses the furniture to dry his sweaters. We used to have a cat (hobbes)that peed on cloth furniture and that is why we had those doors put on/replaced the solid doors. To keep him out. now we have 2 cats with claws...they have already ruined the futon in the family room...it is shredded, I try to hide it with a quilt but the quilt keeps falling down. Jeff plays with them and they scratch the furniture.... everything else in the family room is whicker.

I just spoke with a friend of mine...she said I needed to smudge my house using sage. I am not sure about this but she told me to bring the sage around my house specifically in the corners of rooms.
I will look into this smudging.....
jeff is not home and I am afraid to go to bed....
this is not helping my mental health at all.
I did not sleep well last night listening to all the sounds in our house....
it is making me paranoid.
I have been running a bit hypo manic so this is not helping me at all.
jeff should be home soon he has been recording with his zydeco band.
One of my favorite tea cups got broken on my bathroom counter, scared me...the cat must have done that....made me jump straight out of my chair.
I need to take my meds....NOW!

Dear Bizi,

I hope that you are ok now and Jeff is home.

Here are two links about saging:

You have to do this in every corner and closet in the house.
Whole Foods carry sage. A wiccan store or a crystal store will carry it too.
Buy a few different kinds. It is is relatively cheap.

I know nothing about ghost

But I too would not want them in my house.

So I say just tell them to leave as many ways as you can.

Maybe you can find a way to leave the doors open at least when you
are home.

WIth the cats in a area that they can't get out of.

Donna

that would totally terrify me. I would move as soon as possible.

M.

Oh Bizi, I am so sorry this is happening, I imagine it is terrifying, I have used sage before on an apartment but I can't recall if it worked or not. I hope things calm down at your home soon.

or maybe (going on the ghost thing here) a spirit was trapped in that living room and doesn't "like" that room being shut off like that... and is acting up to ask you to open it. i am with Mari to open it.

in your parts you should be able to find...

a Catholic priest for home blessing, as Mari suggested, OR
and Obeah practitioner for consultation and cleansing ritual

Bizi someone else also mentioned meds.
and you mentioned running hypo.
what are you taking to sleep nowadays?
when someone says "there is NO other explanation" it suggests to me they have closed their minds to other explanations.
... in this case, it suggests you aren't open to this not being a ghost.

can you do something... i dunno, go to sleep with coloured chalk on your fingertips.... see if you find your own prints....?

that is one example - what i am saying is,

can you/can others here, think of some simple, empirical tests to do, to leave some kind of a trail/trace between the acts and the actors in these scenarios....

some events, don't forget might be coincidences. i personally think the bathroom door was a coincidence, perhaps because i got stuck in a bathroom liek that once. not very new house. stupid door didn't even shut well most of the time. that time, it was like it was locked tight! i WAS scared.

did i ask you what your current meds are and doses?
