How To Deal With Unwanted Guests...The Spirit Kind.

It's like the guy that shows up to your 40th birthday dinner uninvited - except he's deceased and he chooses to stay in your kitchen snacking every night. Fun right?

I’ll start off by saying this. I’m a Medium but I don’t deal with spirits that won’t respect my boundaries. What do I mean by that? No random visits in the middle of the night. No funny business! I have a very clear on and off switch that is reserved for readings. There are some loopholes but for the most part this is our understanding. I’m sure you have boundaries with certain people in your life - I also have these kinds of boundaries with spirits.

Lately I’ve had multiple people reach out to me about weird things happening in their homes. The first line of the text usually reads something like… “how the heck do I make it stop!”. So that’s this post. How to manage unwanted spirit guests. Listen - this could just be a fun read or actually something you may need some day! Save this baby - bookmark it - print it etc.

The Big Question…Why Do Spirits Hang Around?

I don’t blame spirits. Let’s look at it quickly from their point of view. If you died or when you die - wouldn’t you want to go back to your home or the place you loved the most? Can you imagine how confusing it must be to return and there are new people living there? Things have been renovated? Changed? Moved around? All of your things are gone?

These spirits have not moved on after their passing - they have a strong attachment or bond to the home or something in the home. They can also be completely unaware that they have passed. Or they may have some kind of unfinished business that needs to be completed before they can feel comfortable moving on. For all of these reasons and maybe more you can have a run-in with a spirit or spirit(s).

What Are Some Signs That A Spirit Is Present?

Please don’t let the below sound scary because as I just started typing these words… it sounds not so great BUT the good news is that MOST spirits are not harmful at all and just need help moving on. For a fun movie reference just think of the movie Ghost - Whoppi Goldberg had to help Patrick Swayze solve unfinished business in order to move on! Haven’t seen the movie Ghost? Oh - just go do it now.

Hearing footsteps or people talking when no one is present
Seeing shadows or physical spirits
Children’s toys turning on and off
Cabinets or doors shutting and opening
Unusual smells like cigars, perfume etc.
Lights flickering
Pets being super alert

I did a reading for a nurse who was being visited by an old patient of hers. This patient was an elderly woman with lots of spunk and stubbornness and refused to let go at the end. Turns out this patient went onto visit the nurse in her home and began to move her dishes around the kitchen etc. I was able to facilitate a conversation between this spirit and the nurse during a medium reading - she then found closure and moved on.

How Do I Ask Them To Leave?

Sage the home - open all the windows and doors and sage the entire home including all the doorways.
Ask them to leave with a VERY stern voice. Do not yell at them. Speak like a first grade teacher when the kids aren’t listening! Be respectful but very clear with your words.
Contact a medium in order to facilitate the conversation.
Invite lots of positive energy into the space!
