Spirit Encounters
Most people beleive the use any type of Ouija board, tarot cards, automatic writing, séances, or divination to communicate with any entities or spirit presences is not a good idea. They express opinons that a person has absolutely no way of knowing what or who they are communicating with. This could possibly open doorways to negative spirits and demons. Once open, the entry may be difficult to close.
Many other persons stipulate using as much will power as possible to control fear levels. They believe certain entities feed off of this, and it can make things worse. Also, if children are present in the home, it seems fear magnifies by 1000%.
Trying to maintain a normal, healthy lifestyle seems important. Getting out of the home as much as possible, around other support people also seems to help. Certain persons find this is of great benefit and will help tremendously in dealing with any type of paranormal phenomena, to help keep them grounded. Gett out in the real world and not become a recluse in the home is highly recommended. If not, this seculsion and isolation from others are believed to be a breeding ground for fear, which can be used against a person by certain forces.
It has been stated by several paranormal investigators that going overboard, trying to snap hundreds of pictures and thousands of recordings about things going on in the home can be dangerous. This could enable entities power or foothold over the residence by giving them recognition to whatever type entity a person may be dealing with. Attempting to ignore, or not overly give attention to things going on in the home, seems best.
If in any type of rituals are involved, or occult practices, many investigators suggest the halting of the events. The involvement with these practices can often be the cause of phenomena, acting as an invitation without realizing it.
If a particular religious faith is practiced in the home, one that believes in a higher divine being, many persons recommend that the occupants of the home affected become more active in their faith, and concentrate on building a better spiritual relationship with God. The majority of people seeking answers find this can be a tremendous help in dealing with the unknown spirit world.
Listen to what children state is always wise. Sometimes, especially the smaller children, can see and sense things adults cannot view. Their imaginary friends might not be so imaginary.
Animals are a given. They seem to be naturally psychic. Dogs will bark and cats move their head around the room as if to follow an entity. Observing the animals is of great importance. They seem to be particularly sensitive to spirits, and entities and more than likely be a good indicator at times when something is going on of a paranormal nature.
Multitudes of investigators feel everyone should pay attention to their dreams. Sometimes, they can be indicators of paranormal phenomena, especially if a person seems to have the same horrible or terrifying dreams or nightmares. Keeping an updated journal of the dreams is suggested. They can be of tremendous help to investigators working on this type of case.
If a person has drinking problems (alcohol) or drug problems, a vast amount of paranormal investigators recommend the person affected seek some type of professional help to try and shed their life of of these. Dependencies can open up areas in a person's life where spirits or entities may gain entry to them. Until they overcome these problems, it will be almost impossible to get rid of any paranormal problems.
Being attentitive to other people surrounding someone's life is beneficial as well. Just because they may not share the same hobbies, goals, etc...but live with them in the same house, or go with them to different functions that they do, this can possibly open up portals and doorways for things in the other person's life.
Realizing a person may have minor or serious issues in their life that can contribute to or be the cause of what is being experienced is essential. There may be personal or emotional issues in a person's life that they do not want to deal with that could possibly bring in negative spirits.
