Yeah... there's the hitch in the get along. You have no idea WHAT you are dealing with - Spirit, Ghost, Hunter... there are about a billion energies that can manifest into our little realm - but none can violate our Free Will. They can TRICK or Scare or Look Sad or or or - but unless a higher power sent them - you can banish them from your space... it may take time but ya know... whatever.
Loss of Faith and belief and somewhat enjoying this attention and experiences are signatures that negative energy can smell - they'd rather taste. Here is what I am finding - and believe me it amaze's me - that sense of 'I am in control' leads to 'I am powerful and know ' leads to 'pride goeth before a fall' - and people - especially young people are just willy nilly flocking to the gate. YOU are not in control. The Paranormal can and will BITE. I have never met a Spirit - living,dead, dimensional, or other -that RESPECTS humans in general - except Angels of Light... which you will find yourself calling on if you keep poking the bear.
Expect a 2x4 - they are busy.
I often wonder what exactly is wanted when a story is told - the best we have to give is offered - and all of a sudden it's nah, I'm cool.
There are people on this forum that INVESTIGATE the Paranormal but those Ones aren't playing the odds and enjoying energies in their space unasked for. Those one's know how to protect (at least somewhat) themselves from s*(t they don't understand and know they don't - that's why they are investigating.
But hey, do what you do. Just don't come Calling when it does you back.
