I hesitate to reply to questions because my situation is multi-layered and I don't want to bore anyone with story after story. I've studied psychic phenomena most of my adult life and am clairvoyant, meaning I can see spirits. The house I live in belonged to a young man who died a painful tragic death, and his spirit remained in the house. With the help of a talented psychic medium who spent untold hours communicating with spirits and closing a portal, my house has seemed spirit-free for several years. When I awoke from a sound sleep two nights ago to the sight of a man standing by my bed I was very frightened and disheartened. I know how to protect myself and my house, but I had let down my guard. Even though I have an intellectual understanding of the paranormal, I always have an uncontrollable visceral fear when I see or sense an intruder. Today I'm trying to contact the psychic who helped me previously and get her take on this. I'll make a separate post about my haunted garden, which is a good place.
