Okay, so for the past year or so, paranormal experiences around my families home have become more frequent. Starting with myself seeing a shadow being while I was meditating on the couch. I felt very threatened. This occurred almost a year ago. As of the past couple of months, I feel that there is a spirit trying to contact me. I don't feel threatened, but I do not want it here. It has set off our carbon monoxide detector, our house alarm, rang our doorbell, etc. And immediately after these occurrences I can hear what sounds like a rat in the ceiling of my bedroom. Our cats are always looking around and acting curious when I hear and sense things. I always feel him watching me. At night, before I fall asleep, I usually hear voices and sounds from other realms. A month ago he told me to "watch out." My family and I have seen what we believe are shadow beings throughout our home for approximately a year. About thirty minutes ago I was asleep and thought to be dreaming...although I do not remember any other dreams from tonight...I do remember this man at the foot of my bed trying to grab my foot. I told him "do not touch me," and I immediately woke up. I did not feel threatened, just aggravated as I haven't had adequate sleep for a few days...I believe he is trying to communicate for some reason or another, but I refuse to communicate with spirits for fear that they are being impersonated by something darker. I have considered smudging/cleansing my home, but I am afraid that I will only make it/them (whoever is here) angry and things will become violent. I am also afraid to smudge my home alone, but my family continues to try to brush off the situation (excluding my mother, she's the only one who doesn't make me feel insane).
*Also, after I awoke from my "dream" where he was trying to grab my foot, I stayed awake for about 10 minutes before trying to fall back asleep. When I closed my eyes and relaxed, I began to hear a man's voice. I couldn't make out much of what he was saying but I did get the words "god" and "asena."
I really have no idea what to do, friends....any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated. Blessings to you all
*Also, another side note...My spirit guide has been trying to get my attention as well. I've been trying to understand why, but I am unsure...even when asking during meditation. But whatever was at the foot of my bed was not my spirit guide. It didn't feel loving. It didn't feel evil either...more so just neutral.
