I am currently moving out of a 110+ year old house that has had a LOT of activity (over 10 separate spirits seen there over the 5-6 year period I lived in the house). I have not brought anything but clothes to my boyfriend's apartment so far, as I'm still deciding what to keep and what I'll be putting in storage, etc. He's afraid of me bringing

SAGE!! It's very easy to have a cling on spirit. I brought a child home from a mental hospital once and it still lives in my momma's house. It's not a bad spirit just curious and we've had it living in my mom's house for about 6 years now. It likes to steal things, and put it back in weird places, also likes to leave little hand prints on freshly cleaned mirrors. That's how we figured out it was a child, considering all adults live in the house and do not have that small of a hand.we have put up sage barriers and some salt barriers on the places we do not want it to go. It usually stays in 1 or 2 rooms. Also mirrors no matter how much they are cleansed will always hold onto a spirit, your boyfriend is probably right about his fear of the mirrors. You can go as far as getting a vile of holy water and sprinkle it in each room of the house if you feel uncomfortable.

I might look into doing that. I had a lot of mirrors in that house because I lived alone mostly, and in a bad neighbourhood, so I liked to be able to see what was going on EVERYWHERE in the house at once. It's taking me 3 months to move out of the house just because of my anxiety about the place, but I was going to try to hang on to my mirrors :C

I am going to sage-smudge the hell (haha, puns) out of it once I am gone, though, to save my brother in law who is going to live there next, the hassle of doing so. I never had anything in the house though that looked like the imp from WoW, though, the "imp" I saw was just a very small black shadowy thing (like... maybe a few feet tall if that, no ears, no real features, just shadowy) although I do suppose BF could've just made out more details than I have ever been able to.

BTW I linked to my original comm post here detailing some of the spirits from the old house.

Hmmm... your emotions (I had a lot of mirrors in that house because I lived alone mostly, and in a bad neighbourhood, so I liked to be able to see what was going on EVERYWHERE in the house at once.) wouldn't help with the mirrors either. Things can sop up our emotions like a sponge. Which is why often you'll find yourself wanting to stay away from a specific object or place. Your feelings of (don't take offense here) paranoia would infuse those mirrors, and could be why your bf feels paranoia about them. Some people can find mirrors creepy at the best of times. :)

Also if u can get info from that person on prayers/extra holy water etc and sage if needed. Good for back up. Keep us updated hope all turns out okay and things within your new place are safe and clear.

If neither of you had seen the "warlock's imp" before, it might be that one or both of you attract traveling entities and this was something new. It happens to my husband and I as well. You may want to look into building a psychic ward around a "safe room", such as your bedroom, to keep spirits out. It will tire you out at first, but it is highly effective and gets easier with practice. If you're interested, let me know and I'll give you directions. Similar practices can be used to leave the energy of a spirit behind as you leave your old home, though I've never needed to do that personally.

[gravebug]

I am definitely interested.

I don't know why but I've always seemed to attract things (Boyfriend was a skeptic until he got with me last year and had experiences) so maybe I've just picked something up. It's happened in the past (see link at bottom of post for how I picked up a non-human entity and brought it 500 miles on a bus trip home with me) and I guess this could be what's happening.

I really don't mind them as long as they're not malevolent, and I can deal with mischief, I'm just worried about Boyfriend being freaked out by it.

[minuetcat]

I completely understand. "Good" spirits spice up life, but "bad" spirits are just...well, bad

[soundandvision]

I've no advice other than what's already been said but I hope that things get better so you can worry about how to merge two households of stuff together and not what's unintentionally moved along with you. ;)

Also, I read your original post and holy hell that's terrifying. O_O

[gravebug]

Thanks :) Yeah it got pretty intense at times but I'm hoping to leave that behind.

Just have to ask, did you get rid of the little girl you mentioned in the earlier post?! I would take the advice that hynobarb1 posted in that one about cleansing the house. I know her and she is very experienced in this stuff.

[gravebug]

I never "got rid" of her per se, but I haven't seen her in a while. There are still things that appear in windows and mirrors, but nothing that have appearances like her. I'm going to wait until I have the house emptied and cleaned until I do a cleansing ceremony but it should be soonish so I'm sure that will be interesting.
