Need spirit advice (Haunting?)

[HennHenn]

So recently (the past year or so) there has been what I think to be a spirit in my home, specifically my bedroom. Its tendencies include messing with the lights (brightness or flickering) slightly moving things (most often my newtons cradle or balancing horse statue), playing with candle flames, and on rare occasions, it has fully moved objects. It doesn't seem to move around the house, almost like it's stuck? in my room. It seems intelligent, at least enough so to recognize when I'm talking to it, sometimes I will ask it to stop messing with lighting while I'm focused on something and it will listen, but sometimes it won't, it's really a toss-up. I know next to nothing about the entity in my living space and have not really found a solid way to contact it (we've spoken through the lights on rare instances but often it does not work well), I would really just like to validate the belief that there is indeed something here, and I want to figure out a way to learn about it, I have always been a believer in spiritual beings and otherworldly beings I just have no idea where I should start in contacting it. I'd even be willing to talk to an expert in this sort of matter if I can find a way to do so, I just would like some answers as to what I am with.

Any advice or knowledge would be greatly appreciated no matter how large or small, thank you! <3

based on what I read it seems harmless but if you show your not in power it could turn from a ghost to a type of poltergeist a spirit which causes havoc most spirits I've came in contact with are just protective spirits id say try finding out if its a family spirit or a house spirit like any deaths in the house start there after a bit of research that'll tell you what you need to do more specifically

So, this sounds like a poltergeist type haunting, which is a spirit or manifestation of energy that primarily moves objects or otherwise interacts with the physical world as activity. These types of hauntings, like I said, can be intelligent spirits, but are usually more of like, a manifestation of energy, either from you or your household or someone who might've lived in/around your house previously.

Doesn't sound harmful from what you've said, which is good! Most hauntings aren't. I've lived in a lot of different haunted places with different types of spirits and honestly, the best thing I've found to do is treat them almost like a room mate that you're not super close with. If it does something to annoy you, tell it to knock it off and mean it. Poltergeists are notoriously sort of tricksters and will do things to annoy and even scare you on purpose, because they feed on energy from it. If you come at it's antics with an apathetic "knock it off" attitude, it'll at least probably keep it from scaring you too much.

I had something in a house a while ago that would constantly knock and bang on my walls, also only in my bedroom! I gave it a name and sometimes would just randomly tell it whatever was on my mind in a friendly way and just kinda keeping it light like that seemed to calm it down. I also would be very curt to let it know that it couldn't be knocking late at night while I was sleeping and it listened for the most part.

If it starts to really become an issue, maybe look into some local paranormal groups in your area. Might be worth it to send some emails. But for the most part, just be friendly but firm with it and it shouldn't bother you too much from what I can tell.

I completely agree with everything that absentdeparture has said and recommended. I've had encounters with spirits ever since I was young and regularly interact with the spirit realm.

I think the most important thing is to first listen to your intuition to if you feel comfortable establishing communication with this spirit. It sounds from what you said that you don't feel afraid, which is good. Many spirits who cause the typical hauntings are earth-bound spirits who are having trouble crossing over to the other side or are past energetic imprints. They usually mind their own business and just reside in the home; most homes actually have multiple types of spirits working behind the scenes.

But sometimes not all of these spirits are always benign, and some will purposely cause a disturbance or cause fear to feed off the negative reaction it elicits- these spirits are more like tricksters. In my experience, these are the ones that flicker the lights, stomp up the stairs, throw things across the room, and appear as shadows. They can be previously attached to a residence or may have been accidently brought in when they were attracted to strong negative energy coming from a space (such as something traumatic happening). I really caution using tools such as Ouiji boards and pendulums if you aren't experienced- when you use these tools, you open a door of communication and can invite in negative spirits you may not have intended, and they can be a pain to get rid of. Instead, I invite you to talk out loud to them as you would another person in the room.

If they are being really noisy and causing a disturbance, you could ask them kindly, but firm to please quiet down. You can open a window and burn sage around the home, setting the intention that any spirits that aren't for your highest good to please leave the residence. You can also use chimes or high pitch symbols to energetically clear the space of these noisy spirits. If they don't respond to your polite request, be firm about it, making it clear this is your space. Some spirits are very stubborn and will push your boundaries but remember they're in your court here and you have the power to make them leave even if they induce a lot of fear in you. If you run of out all other options, you can always have a medium come and bless the space, and hopefully assist them in crossing over.
