Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well it's obvious that you are dealing with possibly malicious spirits especially if there is a very strong negative presence. I've had very many similar experiences and dealt with many things such as this. My most recent experience was when I was staying at my friend's house last weekend. Her little brother had friends sleeping over and by now I had felt a very strong negative presence in the house, something unnatural and uninvited. I even found a few of her animal possessed, I placed my hands on their heads and basically used energy to push the spirits out of their bodies. You can use your aura in a similar manner, just visualize yourself pushing energy into the thing you're trying to purge and imagine it being pushed out and even if you want dissipating, which can sometimes destroy it, if you are doing it right or have the right ability. there are many ways to cleanse a place. But I digress, back onto what I was talking about, her brother's friends ran up from the basement scared out of their minds, now it was late at night, they said they saw three physical looking entities that looked demonic, they started as shadows and formed into physical entities. One of them even called their dad to come pick them up, and note that these kids had no experience with the supernatural before, but even they could feel something wasn't right. At this point I was really paranoid and getting very bad feelings, especially since I knew that there was an evil entity hunting my friend. At this point I feared for my friend, her cat got out mysteriously, I offered to go get it, because I had a strong feeling something would happen to her if she left the house to go retrieve it. It was such an odd coincidence. Then I started to notice unnaturally dark shadows in strange places, that seemed to change shape.


So I performed a purge and cleanse of the house. One of the easiest ways to do it is sit down in a center part of the house, calm your mind and body and imagine yourself pushing all the negative energy from the house. And sometimes it can help if you say to any evil spirits "Begone, you are not welcome here."

There are also many banishing or cleansing spells. Another good way to purge your house of negative energy is to walk around it and imagine your hand touching the walls, the floor and the ceiling, just walk around and imagine peeling negative nergy from the walls, imagine the walls are covered in a black goo, and you are peeling them off onto your arms where they cling. Once you have gone through your house go outside and shake it off of your arms, you may see it slightly physically, or you may not, but imagine it as you are doing it.

Now the way I purged the house is, I stood up and imagined my own energy building up, and at that moment I released a huge field of energy through out the house and imagined my energy pushing every unwelcome energy or entity out of the house at once like a giant bulldozer going in all directions. I visualized it happening and at the same time I was saying in my mind "You are not welcome here, begone."

Right away I felt an immediate difference, like a dark cloud had been lifted from the house. I could finally sleep with my paranoia gone, but before I went to sleep I placed a spiritual ward under the house to keep the entities gone, now this could be difficult if you do not know what a ward looks like. You can find many different kinds of wards on line, or I'm sure someone here could tell you how to make one. For your situation I recommend you draw the ward out physically on a wall, a ceiling, or the floor somewhere in your house, after you've purged it of all evil entities and negative energy of course. It doesn't have to be big and noticeable, so you could easily hide it from other people so they don't go "what is that on your wall?! She's a witch! burn her!" haha, trust me, I've had to hide many things like that from my family, and it's not easy. But anyways, once you have purged/cleansed your house, then placed a ward, you should feel a difference right away, it should feel like a heavy dark cloud has lifted and you should get a feeling of calmness, and serenity. The ward should keep them from coming back, however if they continue, then you may have to purge it again. It's not a very long process and can only take a couple of minutes depending on what method you use.

Shadow people or malicious spirit, or demon, it doesn't matter what it is, if you do these things they should leave your home and leave you alone. But if you are feeling a lot of paranoia or negative energy, or just the all around feeling of uneasiness, I would say that the spirit is hostile, or not friendly. Because generally that feeling correlates with those types of beings.

If they tend ot concentrate upstairs then there is either a portal up there that needs to be closed, which is how they are getting in, or maybe there is an object of value there that they are drawn too. There are several ways to find out. When you go upstairs, feel around, try to find the most concentrated spot of uneasiness or negative energy and try to purge that one spot, if it doesn't work at first, try to picture yourself closing a doorway, if it is a portal this may work. If it is an object that you think is attracting them, I suggest getting rid of it, or finding a way to cleanse it or put the ward on that object. I would also suggest putting the ward in the most concentrated area. However, if you trying to find a concentrated area, and it is all evenly spread out then I suggest placing the ward at the center of it all. If you do not feel immediate results or it only has a temporary affect then the spirits or whatever they are are finding ways to disable the wards, or get around the barriers or protections you have put in place. What it sounds like to me is that something keeps drawing them back. If you cannot keep them out, your best bet is to find what it is that is drawing them to that place. Like I said, a portal, an object, or sometimes it could even be a person, but if they are mostly drawn to one area of the house specifically, I would doubt it is a person, unless it is say a bedroom. Then I wouldn't rule that possibility out.

The purging the area and erecting wards in the place of most negative energy or where the feeling is the strongest is much like shooting a person in a vital organ. Hit it at the source where it's the strongest. However, if your first attempt does not work it could provoke them even further, if that happens your best bet is to go to plan B, which would be if you tried the purging and ward first, to try to find the thing that is attracting them. Spirits aren't often drawn back to a place or more specifically a place in a place for no reason. They either want something, or something is bringing them there or attracting them.

Now I'm no expert at finding portals, I can usually just pick up on things like that automatically as like a sixth sense. But to someone who it doesn't come naturally to, I'm afraid I can't provide much help other then trust your instincts. If it feel likes portal, like energy is constantly radiating from one place and that it is getting stronger, then weaker, the stronger, or just keeps getting stronger, then it may be a portal.
I wouldn't rule out any one of these possibilities.

There is a possibility that none of these things will work. But remember you have many options and there are always more than one way to do something. Should what I suggested not work, tell me and I will help you come up with another solution that may work.

For now I can't think of any other tips or advice, though I'm sure I might later on, but I will save them in case you need them. Hope it works out.
