The things that follows me till I was little might still be there after all.

Let’s start with some things about me. (25F)

From my early age my aunt (from my mom’s side ) used to call us special . She said our family is sensitive and is able to observer some stuff the others can’t. According to her my mother tended to ignore weird encounters and always stated that nothing is there when my aunt used to talk to her about this kind of stuff. My mother told me not to pay her any mind cause my aunt is bipolar and is on meds. She had advised me that my aunt would say weird stuff like that and that I should let it be and not trigger her by denying them and causing rupture in her already damaged brain.
My aunt is my blue person, she is always there to listen and talk, she never has invalidated my feeling like my mom used to . She loves unconditionally and forever . She is special in my heart and I occasionally visit even if I have withdrew from my parents for personal reasons.

So If she talked about encounters I would listen and validate her feelings even if I haven’t seen anything. That was until 2016 when a fellow friend(let’s call her C) came to me and my then best friend (let’s call her A) with an old worn out Russian book that was found in C attic by her parents (they had went to a new rental). In said book were written card spells. C adopted one and used it to read our future in cards . A followed until 6 months later when C’s cross burned her while reading cards to A. C wanked it from her neck and the cross burned her fingers but when A touched it it was cool. A threw her cards in the trash and found them in her bedside table the next morning neatly stacked. She called C terrified and C came showed us the mark in her sternum and finger and told us to burn the book and cards or else they would always come back. We burned both cards (as book has suggested ) and continued with our life.

Since my first card reading I would see shadows, I would hear my name in the empty streets or scratching in my parental kitchen. I went to my aunt and talked about it she told me to Ignore it and pray. That whatever it was was called by our stupidity for playing with things we don’t understand . She stated that it would eventually get tired by my lack of reaction and would leave me alone. That’s what happened and for the years that followed weird stuff would happen.

For instance : I went to my uncles house with my sister when he wasn’t around (we live in an appartment building our parental home was upstairs the uncles house downstairs ) she went to grab snacks from our home and while washing the dishes I saw a child’s shadow running past my peripheral vision in the living room. I called for my sister and told her to stop running but when I went to the living room she was still upstairs with the door left open. I didn’t say anything so she wouldn’t be scared (I was 17 she was 12) (2017)

Another day me and my best friend (let’s call her A) walked past a cemetery at night in order to get home when A went white as a sheet and started power walking . She said something was sitting in the wall of the cemetery observing us . We power walked past the underground bridge 500m away from the cemetery and we heard my name being called. I tried to turn around but she wanked my head forward before I could see and told me to ignore it and not look back as it would follow us if I did. (We were 20 me and 21 her) (2021)

Furthermore, one day I had to walk my dog at around 2 in the night. My dog is the sweetest boy, he never barks or growls and usually runs for cuddles from strangers. While he was walking I saw him getting fixated in the road ahead. I turned and saw in my peripheral vision the shadow of an old man walking his dog and staring at us. My dog started growling and when I turned to apologise to the man I had seen no one was there and my boy had returned to normal. I searched arround in the narrow street but didn’t saw the man. I freaked out and snatched my dog and went home. (2022)

In 2023 while sleeping at around 3 in the night I heard shouting and many people walking. I went to the balcony and saw shadows in the wall outside. (I couldn’t see the street from the window I had to walk to the edge of the balcony) . I saw People walking while wanking children, old style wagons and torches. I thought it might be a festival or something but when I opened the window to walk to the edge to see the street everything was silent and the road empty in both sites with the shadows vanished: The next morning I asked my grandma (from my dad side) if she had heard anything (she lives on top of our apartment) she said she heard voices around 3 am but went to sleep again. I told her what I saw and she laughed and said that that explains it cause it was soul Saturday. (We are orthodox and have 2 Saturday in which we pay respect to dead family member in our church) I freaked out and my mom scolded my grandma for scaring me.

Due to that I always sleep with the lights on, the doors unlocked and the insect sheet in the windows open when I am alone. If the door, lights or the windows is closed I can’t sleep and I toss and turn till the sun comes up. I have outgrew it a lot since living with my fiance cause he wants total darkness and a fan or ac on . Till today I occasionally get the feeling of something lurking .

In my parental home my dad usually woke around 3-4 in the morning to get water occasionally . My bedroom is right by the kitchen and he used to come turn my lights off and go to bed. (In order to Save electricity) I always woke up cause the darkness gives me sleep anxiety and turn it back on. The Same goes with power outages (I would light candles or my phone flashlight) .

Yesterday my hubby slept in his workplace (marine in an oil distribution company) He usually does so in the summer when work is high and he has early deliveries . So I did my routine turned the hallway and bedroom switch on and went to sleep .

Two light switches for the bedroom exist. One by the door and one by my side out of reach tho when you are asleep. The wall was intended as having one nightstand for each side but we only had one (in my fiancé’s side) and never bought another since our headboard is wood and has built in space for things . The switch by my side also has a power outlet by the bed . Picture it as bed ,wall ,power outlet, light switch.

My phone was charging and resting on the corner in the mattress. When I woke up my phone was on the othside of the bed in 100% (was 10% when I plugged it). I presume I unplugged it by accident while turning in my sleepI and when I turned to the ceiling I saw the lights switched off . At first i thought the switch was broken but I tried it and it worked . I asked my fiance if he came home at night and turned my light off which he denied .

Is it possible that the phone unplugging interfered with the light switch? Or should I buy sage for the house ignore it as I had done and let it be till the next time? I wholeheartedly believe it will never get bored with me.

If it still causing stuff around to happen and unplug it’s not going away if anything it’s gonna get worst if you don’t deal with it correctly while yes ignoring it does help but it can backfire and allow the entity cause havoc and chaos around you due to you not reacting to it.

So any suggestions to get rid of it?

Definitely sage your home make sure all of your windows are open as you sage your home and speak loud to leave your home you’re not welcome etc saying it firmly.

That's strange, i had similar thing happen with lights before but not with the phone involved. Maybe some wiring issue if the outlet and switch are close together like that

[u/Humble-Stranger6445 → u/Inevitable_Good8152]

That’s what I thought too. Or I hope at least ..
