Don’t antagonise it. Respect applies to both sides of the vale and lets face it your on the weaker side of the fence. If you can’t communicate respectful, ignore what’s there.

There is a difference between spiritual presences, haunting and poltergeist activity if there’s a spiritual presence of a form friend or relative that wishes to communicate with you or your partner and you miss out on that opportunity because you buggered about, then more fool you.

If you have a spirit person in visitation then most likely once it’s made itself known it will come and go without interference with this world. It will be interested in the house not you. Knockings maybe simply a result of reliving events of an earlier time, all you need do is ask politely and respectfully for it to stop.

If you have poltergeist activity it maybe a simple case of an adolescent connected to the home, you or your partner burning off energy. If however, it is an elemental spirit or a negative human presence then you’d be better keeping to a respectful approach and seek help of someone qualified to deal with its removal.

Do not watch an episode of Most Haunted and think you can go dictating terms, marking demands or go mocking and challenging the presence. If you chose to do so then you might well get the biggest surprise of you life, and believe me it will take some time to get over it.

Show respect regardless of what you’ve got, even if it turns out to be nothing a positive atmosphere will always act as a barrier against negativity and improve your home.

Finally, the mind is a powerful tool but can easily be damaged or weakened unless you are mentally strong enough to deal with these matters. In all these matters we are born ignorant for a purpose.
