The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I am not standing around shouting in the dark by myself..

.. any other options?

Simple, think rationally. There is no such thing as ghost! While you may have concluded that you have a ghost, actually think about what led you to that conclusion.

Well there is no tried and true way to get rid of a ghost. There are some that work for various people and not in all instances. I am not a skeptic or a believer since I haven't really had any experiences with hauntings. I would first try to talk to it and tell them they are scaring you and ask them to either go away or quit doing whatever it is that is bothering you and anything else you might want to tag onto that. Can't hurt. Below are some things people have tried. If you are not essentially a religious person I wouldn't go that route. There is a lot of information on the net but like I have stated I have never had to use such things.

• 1
Get rid of negative energy using sage. One way the Native Americans used is a Sage ceremony. To do this, get two packs of sage, burn it, and spread the smoke throughout the house. Say something along the lines of "We mean you no harm, please leave this place in peace." You do not necessarily have to say that, but it has been known to work. However, this method has a few unfortunate downs. See Warnings.

• The down side of the Sage treatment is that it can "wake up" dormant spirits, obviously making things worse.
• If you are using sage, make your goals very specific. If you have a child with an imaginary friend, it is best to say "I command any entities to leave this place at once!"
• Sage is temporary. It will work for at the most, a few months, and you will have the ghost again. Make sure you know what you want out of your house.

• 2
This is a messy way, but spread salt on the windowsills (as salt represents a sort of positive energy).

• 3
Cleanse your home. This way is helpful, as you will "kill two birds with one stone". However, this method requires much preparation. To do this, wash everything in your house. All sheets, curtains, everything. Vacuum/hoover the floors and give the house a really thorough cleaning.

• 4
Contact your local priest/exorcist. The priest will bless the house, hopefully at the least, making things better. If they don't, turn to the exorcist, who will be able to remove the ghosts.

• 5
Go through all the rooms in the house, with a small bell, ringing it quietly in each corner.

• 6
Another way is to get a buddy, go through the house holding hands and saying in a firm voice "This is the house for the living, not the dead. You are dead, so we wish you well to seek the light and move on where you ought to be." Be aware that things could get kind of freaky in a matter of seconds, as ghosts often don't realize that they are dead, so reminding it that fact will cause some surprise (wouldn't you be surprised if someone told you that you were dead?)

• 7
One other way is to ask the ghost questions, such as "Are you happy that we have moved into this home" and have some kind of code, like one knock on a door is Yes and two is No. This is meant to be handled by experts, though. Ghosts can sense when one is scared, or nervous easily, and can often take advantage of this fact as soon as they realize it. If the answers to your questions are negative, it may be time to look for a new house.

• 8
Set out some things that the ghost may have left behind during its time on Earth. If the ghost had a diary, set the diary out and the list goes on.

• 9
Pray. Pray on your life that the ghost will go. This is often like blessing the house, and has had results.

• 10
Sprinkle holy water (if you are Christian) throughout the house, as this is also like blessing the house, and has also had results.

• 11
Using Garlic can help as well, putting garlic in the room, or wearing it around your neck

Have u tryed asking nicely?...or even demanding it leave?

Most of what is considered to be ghost activity is simply discovered to be congestion.. or clutter in the house settling through physical movement, and gravity. So actually organizing your house, and uncluttering passageways may eliminate any "activity". Check all the vents, and seals around the house as well. some seals, deteriorate overtime, or get warped by seasonal changes, these changes can create drafts, and cold spots that previously had none.

If you saw how both, new and minimalist my place is you'd understand why I can't just accept that and move on.

However, I think I will just ignore whatever is going on and blame the dogs.

Dogs? There it is.. and would your place happen to be an apartment, or duplex?

I have simply sprinkled salt water on the floor,burned some Dragon's Blood insense and did some praying/chanting and no more problem.

If you know what it looks like then sit there and visualize it dying in many ways

If you see it chuck an empty glass bottle with a lid on it through it and hope it either shatters or stays in one piece so you can shatter it in one hit

The idea is the ghost shattered in too many pieces to reassemble it's self, if you only break it into a few pieces you're screwed

I also agree with sage and other home cleasing rituals as mentioned above

If you can find a way to communicate with it asking it why it's there, helping it out if you can, and asking it to leave can also work

Ignoring a ghost does allow for some comfort from a realistic standpoint but to actually git rid of a ghost you must ascertain it's signature frequency and then jam it! Ghosts operate on a low frequency but high amplitude wave pattern and so any radio tuning equipment will work as a weapon! This was what white noise devices were supposed to accomplish in ghost hunting but fail as they generate random frequencies rather than locating and isolating frequencies! Use a frequency isolating unit and set it up in a room that has known spiritual activity and record all frequencies emanating from the room, after shutting out all normal ones that is! Once the frequency has been isolated then buy a frequency sequencer device and jam the frequency recorded on the previous unit! It's unknown what this does to the spirit entity but it will rid you of it's presence! If any entity returns just repeat the procedure! I have no idea how much the equipment costs these days but maybe you can find it at an electronics trade show! I personally welcome spirits into my life and revel in their presence! So I surely would never do what I suggested above but knowledge is a powerful tool and science is always a proven technique when used properly! Good luck!!!

Simple. Try a simple excorcism. Or if you don't want to do the dirty work, get an exorcist in or a priest. Simple as really. Hope it helped.

If it's just a ghost I don't think you need to go as far as exorcism, maybe a banishing spell, if you can find out it's name I can give you a relatively simple but effective one

Take my words for/as what you will, but in my own experience, when dealing with an unwanted Spirit, there is little to no such thing as "logical rationale".
To deal with something like that, you need to be assertive, and strong in everything you say. A Spirit doesn't often view things as a living being would. I don't care what anyone else says.
Thinking about the question, for a moment, what is a Spirit?

A Spirit is the Ethereal form of the Physical body. If it is a Spiritual/metaphysical being, then like you and I, it obviously had a body, at some point, as it Still has a mind.

So, if you don't feel like "standing around, shouting all day", then call in someone you know can handle it, and hope they have the strength to deal with it accordingly.

I agree with him, ghosts often do whatever the hell they want because a lot of people don't believe in them, let alone know how to punish them

you can also smoke a little sage, take it around the perimeter of every room, doorway, and window, and find or create a simple protection chant, that's pretty much what an exorcist does, only they often have a banishing chant too and use different herbs sometimes

Here is a one do not, DO NOT use Ouija boards, Tarot cards, seances, or witchcraft when dealing with anything that is supernatural. These items may actually increase spiritual activity and/or "open doors" that invite demonic and other unwanted spirits.

And mostly call some who has knowledge and can bless your home as well as can perform, a peaceful cleansing on your home, dwelling or property, remember this sometimes the spirits were before us, give the honor and respect…

i would have to say get your house blessed depending on the activity

guys, he said he's in an apartment, he'd either have to do something extremely powerful to clear the entire building to keep things from coming back or just clear his section of it and get his preferred form of supernatural protection

I hate to say this, Dakotah, but I seriously resent that statement. Ouija, yes, is one Goddamn brain-rattlingly idiotic idea, in the first place. But that is because Ouija is Forged of dark power. I know this because my energies have cracked and shattered them before.

Tarot, on the other hand, is merely a doorway to having greater, more intimate contact with one's higher being and intuition. I have been involved with the Tarot since I was a child - introduced through my 'grandfather', when I was 'young' enough to understand things better. I have also used the Tarot for purification and casting away some of the darkest Spirits I've ever come across.

Now a séance is also not too bright, unless you have the power of will to control whatever you end up summoning. I've had to learn that the hard way, too.

But as far as Real Witchcraft is concerned, try taking a look at what priests, Reverend, and even the Native American people do. Shamanism isn't exactly "Our father who art in heaven", id you actually think about it. Nor is a Witch Doctor, or Real Voodoo student or King/Queen.

However, in my own learning's, true power of will is the greatest weapon against a Spirit of any kind. The only reason priests and preachers use "god" is because they are too weak to do anything without the help of a so-called 'monotheist' for them to hold their blind and often false conviction in.

Going off the will power thing I've gotten rid of a ghost by visualizing it dying horrific deaths over and over again so will power is probably all you need

Leave lights on 24/7/365

its easy 1. ignore them frist 2.dont show them your fear 3. talk to them 4. if the they still annoying you tell them to eff off .. yes thats worked out for me .. a few years before i had visitors they where too shy to show themself to me . strange sounds came from everywhere in my home . and some stuff change place too .

@EstrangedOne, my post was to imply or to warn that unless the OP knew what he was doing, using these items could do more harm then good to handle his issue. Thus I said call upon someone who knew what they were doing to handle his problem; a professional in his area.

salt , iron, brick dust, might help

I've never met anyone who's dealt with a Spirit that doesn't like iron. And I've only ever encountered one or two Spirits that don't like it.
Might I ask where you gor that from, Miloshkeat?

And trust me, Dakotah -- there is only one thing I've ever seen people Try using the Tarot for, which they shouldn't have been messing with. But I've also not seen many try it, because so few know about it. I can understand the concern, but even knowing what it can do is the one reason I don't tell people or write about it, since I know that some people are just dumb enough to attempt it, when they clearly aren't ready nor capable of handling it.

Though I still loath the term "ghosts", yes. It is very much possible. I have it happen all the time. And believe me... it gets absolutely beyond annoying.

You want to be a child of the night and yet you are a afraid of what you cannot see. WOW!

I find it laughable that grown adults are superstitious enough to actually insist that there is something "Powerfully sinister" about a cardboard board game. Especially after it has been exposed as nothing more then a device to illustrate idomotor (unintentional pulses) of the sitters.

I am also amused at the reverence placed on Tarot Decks, when every person I ever encounter accepted them as nothing but tools to counsel by proxy.

Personally I do not believe you can make a Spirit go away. Humans have the terrible idea that we are in control of everything and that is far from true. A Spirit is removed from our form of existence and those strong enough to return and communicate are not going to be perturbed by someone demanding they leave. Especially by someone burning an herb or flopping a Bible about.

Method of removal can largely depend on the nature of the phenomenon. What exactly have you experienced, and are you sure it's a ghost at all? There are several, non-paranormal, explanations for so-called supernatural activity. Don't get me wrong, I do believe in things like this, but I also believe in applying Occam's Razor.

Here in the south and due to my native american heritage I use sage and lavender and do a smudging ceremony in my home. Aluminum Foil is placed along the window seals and then white paint is used around the trees outside the house to put up a barrier around the area to prevent a presence from entering. There are so many ways to get rid of them. BUT you have to make sure that as you are getting rid of one you are not opening yourself or your home to others.

Some you can ask to quiet down, some will leave. There are however instances where nothing will work. This depends on the circumstances of the place's history.

There's a TV show called Paranormal Witness. Take a look at it so you can see the experiences people have had. Call a group that does research in this area, especially actua;;y coming to your home with specialised equip,emt to document everything

Press it away with your will.

Maybe an illusion would work.

Paint the inside of your door post to resemble the Pearly Gates, and fog up the room with dry ice.. so the ghost will think that they can cross over.

Why on earth would one want to get rid of a ghost, think how much fame and money one could make from having one.!!

I'm in Bans camp on this one, well stated. I would wire my house to the nines with cameras, and motion sensors, and audio sensors set to a variable of frequencies.

Show it no fear.... No matter WHAT IT DOES... DO NOT SHOW FEAR and eventually it will fear you...

Exactly^ You can't let any fear from it come to mind, it fuels the spirit. You have to will it intense thoughts to leave.

NO, tell it to come to my house. Infact I'll accept Demons as well., and any Vampires which want to have a nibble. : )

If the book of Deuteronomy has taught us anything, the only proper way to expel a ghost is to excise then using a combination of holy water, prune juice, and diesel fuel. The nondenominational ritual must be performed with a brass knife (bone carved handle), 7 red candles, cerulean blue sidewalk chalk, an iron skillet, an empty box of tic tacs, a live chicken, and a roll of 16g copper wire while playing the best of Hall & Oates on an 8-track. Be careful when performing this ritual, as the incorrect steps may summon Josh Todd, Chad Kroeger, or Scott Stapp. Good luck.

I would need to know more about what exactly the issue is with the spirit.. What is the activity doing that is disrupting your way of living.

There are MANY ways of dealing with it. I know some are VERY dead set that they exist or don't exist. Also that certain things will or will not work.

That being said. I neither agree, nor disagree with anyone in this thread. I remain open minded.

I do know that in my own past experience, I have trusted things I know feel right to me. What I am trying to say here is.... no matter what you try to do about it.... as long as it makes you feel confident in yourself and your own willpower not to let whatever they are doing to bother you or disrupt your way of living, it will work in your favor.

In essence, the spirit is comprised of energy... it is interacting with your energy in a way that is aggravating you... if you alter the circumstances to which your energy is at peace, there is no way for you to fail at what you are trying to achieve.

So that being said.... no one in this thread is "wrong"

a cross.got rid of my killer ghost.

buy sage sticks they look like little bundles of hay,burn them in each room,and open the window a little bit,so the spirits can leave,then get some salt,and throw it with palms up,around the room,near windows and doors,then take some lemon juice,and place it on all your mirrors,apply it like your cleaning them,leave it on a few days,next with conviction,and belief,and say the OUR FATHER PRAYER,and say it in every room of your house,say it while you have a cross in your hand,bless the cross with holy water.this should work.if you have a fireplace,its still an opening,perform all that i told you,the same to it,when all is done,and the prayer is said,say amen.then you can close your windows.,Peace Elviscat

you must hold the sage stick,while it burns going from room to room,another way,yell at the ghosts sayI NOW LIVE HERE,THIS IS MY PLACE,YOU ARE WELCOME TO STAY,BUT YOU WILL NOT SCARE MY FAMILY OR FRIENDS,DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR.sometimes this works,but try the way i told you first,it should work.

an apartment is the same,its your space,do these things i tell you,i can do no more to help you,it will work,but you must do it.

You have to not be afraid...tell them they are not welcome it is your space..if that.doesnt work..then ask a.member of the.clergy to help yoh

CORRECTION,THERE CALLED SMUDGE STICKS,NOT SAGE STICKS

It could be residual energy which doesn't mean a ghost.

I had an experience with a Ghost before. I never saw the ghost but my mother did. My younger sister would talk to the ghost and even play with ghost. I always found it very weird. My mom tried to get rid of the ghost on many occasions. My mom and I had very many problems then so we argued a lot. So of course that gave the ghost something to feed off of. The ghost showed her self to my mom. She freaked out to say the least lol. It always messed with me mostly.. When it was time for me to go to bed, my lights would flicker, my tv would turn on and off, my stuff would disappear etc. I always had a bad feeling and a feeling something was watching me at all times. I feel as though the ghost didn't much like me. Also we couldn't ever have a dog. Idk what it was but everytime we got one it died.. In weird ways. We had a total of three dogs before we figured out that the spirit didn't like dogs. I eventually moved out of my mother's house and now she says she never feels anything from the ghost and my sister doesn't talk to anything anymore.
Basically:
1) Don't give negative energies for the Ghost to feed off of
2)Try and Figure out why the Ghost is there (if possible, Don't try unless you know what your doing, or you could make it worse)
3)Use incense. My mom used Dragon's blood . This was only a temporary fix though.

all ghosts feed on FEAR.try not to be afraid,but do as i instructed,dont wait.find ot the history about the place,sometimes an object is in this apt.if you find it remove it,go bury it far away in the woods,sometimes there connected to this object.

Not to piss on anyone's rainbow -- but, let's play along as if ther is an actual ghostly, spectral, otherworldy deal happening. If it's Casper, the friendly ghost -- true, fear is not an emotion at the top of the list...

Now, let's switch sweet Casper with an entity as in Paranormal Activity.... I have my kids dangling mid-air by their ankles, flying ginzu knives, a german shepherd who's been recently gutted and left in my bed like a sick version of the Godfather.... and my defense is to have the bigger set of balls and show no fear in order to deflate the power of this entity.... I'm gonna just call Shenanigans on that... or Ghostbusters, because the likelihood of being sans fear is laughable.

Now, on the closest to a real comment, the husband and wife team that investigated the Amityville Horror house, the tortured family from the Conjuring.... those are the closest to logical avenues I can suggest with a straight face.

From what I have seen time and time again, people go and have these blessings and priests and psychics brought over to someone's house and use things to get "rid" of something they don't understand, but for some strange reason, that doesn't ALWAYS work.

Now here's the thing....

What KIND of ghost are we talking about?
Is it time repetitiveness you're seeing, sort of like images that get stuck in time?
Is it a spirit that can communicate? If so, why not have a chat?
Generally if something is there around you a lot, there's a reason for it. Maybe it wants you to help it find peace. So don't be too close-minded to that option.

Items like ouija boards, cards etc....ya know Tarot was designed and created by the Atlantian/Egyptian God Thoth so I seriously doubt that would add evil to a home. It's a useful tool to collect information. Let's not be too silly and "damn" everything just because it's "magic" related.

Also, don't go into communication with the perceptions of good and evil. In spirit world, it's much different than on this physical plane. In universe, bad and good doesn't exist, only in minds. If you go into something with fear and your perception of "evil' in your mind, then your energies are negative and you will attract what you don't want.

So don't be so quick to oust out a spirit until you find out the reason behind what you see.

how do you know if a ghost has left your dwelling,there will be a lightness all around,you will know and feel it.next question?can a ghost follow you, yes,it can,cemetaries,funeral homes,even just walking through the woods,ghosts/demons/all possible/but the odds are high,unless of course your looking for it.

Just be sceptical and think rational about the situation, investigate in the same manner of what a natural scientist would do, using the scientific methodology.

The funny thing is Dabbler, chimps can have better capacity to think rational then certain humans. Do you think a chimp is going to be terrified of a piece of cardboard with letters on it? Humans have the capacity to develop beliefs and superstitions, and then talk about ghosts as if it's based on solid facts, without even thinking about the phenomena in question.

Beliefs and superstitions cause psychological baggage, which is no good for the mind of any persons. Best thing to do is throw away the baggage and start thinking the rational way humans are supposed to think. Investigate and search for the truth in the same manner as the natural scientists. A strange experience that occurs in the natural world is therefore classed as a natural phenomena that needs to be investigated in the right way.
