Year help: I don’t believe in ghosts. - Help.com

…that doesn’t really help at all.

Thanks anyway (?)

i believe in all

I have a few friends who have experienced similar kind of stuff. I believe what you say, there is definitely a problem here. The friend I know who had the freakiest experience ( he woke up 1 night to find something trying to suffocate him), became a Christian after it happened. He hasn’t had any problems since, to my knowledge. I know a lot of people on this site will laugh at this post, but I genuinely believe that the only way to rid yourself of the problem is to solve this in a religious angle, more specifically Christianity. In short, I would get a local minister or something involved. If you are not particularly religious and would prefer not to go this route, I have some personal knowledge that I can share with you. But my knowledge is extremely limited, a pastor would probably be better.

I never EVER believed in ghosts, and I still am pretty sure that I don’t. BUT, after I moved to Thailand (where almost everybody believes in ghosts) I remember having a few thoughts about the matter. I still don’t know what to think, but after you mentioned your sister naming the closet ghost “Tick”… it made me remember something I read in Thailand about certain “tick” ghosts, that were similar to the shape of a tick, but more human-like. Imagine a man’s body and a tick’s body combined. And they apparently have SMALL mouths, and they are doomed to wander around the world, starving, trying to consume anything but unable to because of the small mouth, so they just suck what small amount of substances they can get from any place, filthy nor not. Sounded slightly disturbing. :P

well.. i believe you… i can see spirits and see things happen before they happen.. my suggestion is to do a bit of research on your house.. find out who lived there, who owned it.. etc.. has this happened before you guys moved into this house? if not.. then the spirit was there to begin with.. and possibly, the room that your sister is in was this persons room.. and he is feeling violated.. i would find out what the history is… maybe in life, he lost a child.. a daughter.. and that is why he is around your sister so much… the best way to deal with this spirit is to let him or her know that you are scared.. because they will usually make their presence less noticeable.. tell them to leave you alone.. and go to the light because they are dead..

I used to be a Christian. These things have always happened. It didn’t help.

We’ve moved three times, but the ‘Tick’ keeps following us. In every house the same things happen. Bear in mind, we didn’t move because of the Tick; my parents just kind of brush off the strange occurrences.

I don’t like to think of the Tick as something that used to be human. I really don’t believe in these things at all. I guess I’m just at wit’s end. At night, when I feel something watching me, I get the distinct impression that it wants to HURT me. I know that sounds really, really stupid, but it’s the truth.

I have what my father thinks is a little poltergeist in my room, and he sent me holy water to stop him. I would hear cackles, screams, a little girl or man talking to me, things would fly off my shelves without reason, shadows would move, papers would rustle, I’d feel someone hold me down, choke me, or sit on my bed at night and wake up with no one there. That seemed to work. Whatever it is, I don’t think it’s good. Ghost or not, these weird things are happening to your sister, offen without explaination. If it is a ghost, I’d think you’re living on Indian burial grounds or a war ground. Doesn’t sound pleasent. Try debunking it some more maybe, and if that doesn’t work, try addressing the bugger by name. Go down a list if you have to and tell it to back off. Of course, I’m no expert, so if this doesn’t work, sorry.

all i know is that spirits will not hurt you.. however this spirit is a bit scary.. i suggest having someone come to your house to spread holy water and do some kind of prayer to get rid of this thing.. there is something that seems to be with your sister.. seeing it keeps following her especially.

i beleive in ghosts per’say, i don’t beleive in good angels and evil demons, and all that stuff, but there are two almost scientific princibles i go by, one is time isn’t always constant, everywhere at the same ‘time’, and two phsyical matter is really energy kinda. so things like ghosts i don’t think are supernatural, just a freak of nature. how x-files do i sound?!?! lmao! we just don’t understand it all yet ;)
i’ve heard far to many stories, and seen too much weird stuff myself to think thats its all in my mind, or collective minds (when more than one person see’s its)
i think its a natural occurance. which is why being an atheitist, i still beleive in sort of a life after death.
otherwise, if your tired, you brain doesn’t keep up the processing with your eyes and makes you see things. just so i do sound like a am a skeptic, which i am ;)

I was a Christian before, and these occurrences continued. My sister IS a Christian, so as much as I appreciate your advice, please don’t make assumptions regarding my sister’s faith, and please don’t preach to me. I’ve heard these things before, and to be quite honest, God has been little to no help against this intruder. I’m NOT saying I don’t believe in God, I’m just saying that while I was a Christian, things remained much the same, and my sister has been a Christian for years. I do appreciate the concern, though.

Get a exorcist. Thats all I have to say. If its stalking you, maybe someone in your family is cursed or possessed.

wow thats lucky, only christians get ghosts. another reason not to read a book and get obsessed with it, like me you don’t get ghosts ;)
