Haunted my entire life?
Throw away account. Title is straightforward, and honestly I’m not sure where to post this or who can help?
My entire life I just seem to have been…haunted. I don’t know how else to put it. There is a figure/entity that has followed me my entire life, and I’ve had multiple people describe it to me in great detail even if I’ve never described it to them. I can’t say it is malicious towards me, but it has always been malicious towards others. It has got to the point where my partner is being terrorized and they live over 30 minutes from me and I am extremely worried for them.
Here’s the best time line and experiences I can give at the moment:
From birth and early childhood. My mother would describe a “tall shadowy man” with red eyes that always appeared in places around the house. It didn’t matter if we moved. It would always pop up, in the corners, in the mirror. There would be several issues that went on within the multiple homes we lived in. Cabinets all open, things flying off of the counter or tables, possessions going missing and reappearing in thin air, electronics (most notably microwaves), that would just instantly stop working even if it was brand new. Both my parents would describe being “terrorized” by this “man” when they slept. Scratches, being pulled out of bed, nightmares. My brother has even described this “tall man” the same way my parents did when asked about it.
From early childhood to teens it just continued to get more active. If I stayed at the house of another family member or friend, they’d tell me days later about being terrorized by this “tall man” in the same way my parents and family are. They’d describe things going missing, seeing shadow figures, hearing voices etc. I’d like to add that several of my family members are extremely religious and even they were describing these things to me even after they had their house “cleansed”. It is as if this “tall man” has no boundaries. Some of my early relationships were terrorized so terribly that they just stopped being friends with me over it. Or they’d refuse to talk to me about it all together as if terrified. I also noticed that anyone who encountered it would slowly become more and more aggressive towards me, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
From teens to adulthood to now, it just..continues. I always see it out of the corner of my eye, I can always feel it. It never bothers me in the way it bothers others, it is just there? Watching all the time. I almost feel schizophrenic over it but I can’t because everyone around me has described exactly what the tall man looks like and how it terrorized them. Now, as I mentioned earlier. It is seriously bothering my partner. We don’t live together, I visit occasionally to hang out. They’re telling me that every night they are being terrorized by this thing. Scratches, bruises, crosses falling off the wall, aggressive whispering, banging on the walls, pictures falling from the wall, nightmares etc. Their house has been continuously blessed and I have been continuously “cleansed” by their priest. It is getting to the point where I feel that my partner is resenting me for it and not wanting to be around me as much anymore. I’d like to know what it is and why it has followed for so long. I know it sounds ridiculous, but truthfully I just want direction on how to make it stop? I feel awful that so many around me keep experiencing fear in that way.
