Illinois Paranormal Research Society

Greetings,
My name is Erica. I guess I found this site because I was looking for information on the paranomal. My mom's a bit scared lately her bed has been shaking and her sheets have been pulled. Activity has been increasing. I'm a bit skeptical though. I haven't seen or had anything happen to me. It's not that I don't believe in the paranomal. I took a paranormal investigations class at a local place that popped up a few months ago and I've been talking with her about this. She let me borrow her emf meter and I discovered that we live in a fear cage (high emf in every part of our town home) due to the lovely power lines six feet from our front door. We've been living here about a good five years so it's possible my brother and mother are sensitive and it could be causing them to hallucinate and such but i doubt she'd be imagining the shaking.

I don't doubt that this is happening to her but she's freaking out about it and spouting about the bible and how it's evil to be talking to the entity (we believe it to be a Hispanic male) that is possibly residing here. We met a medium at this local business and she said he was drawn in by my brother's energy. My brother and my mother have been the only ones to see and have stuff happen to them. In addition to the bed shaking and sheet pulling my mother has seen him leaning over her (wearing a feathered hat) when she was sleeping on the couch and heard someone talking to her while sleeping on the couch. I believe the talking could be explained by people walking past outside but highly doubtful that would be happening in the middle of the night. My brother saw a white figure sitting next to him between his closet and his bed last Thursday night and then Friday night he saw a dark figure dart past his desk out the window.

I guess I'm just looking for some guidance. The medium met said that this entity was waking mom up to tell her to give my brother tough love and such. That she was the only one that could get him out of his depression or such. My mom has been annoying me lately with talk of it being evil. I'm not sure if it is but my friend and I tried to cleanse the house and it's still here. She made dowsing rods and we tried talking to it. It lied about its name I believe. I wasn't able to find records of it being buried where the rods said it was nor a record of the name Diego Gonzalez in relation to Oswego, Illinois. When I tried doing a reading with my Medicine Animal cards I pulled the Coyote card in relation to this spirit. The coyote is the trickster. I know tarot and dowsing rods aren't a scientific means of investigating but we find them useful.

How would you talk to a christian to appease their minds? She's driving me nuts. I either need a way to tell this guy to move on or stop shaking her bed she hasn't been able to sleep right in about a year or so. I hate seeing her like this... sorry about the rant. I'm sure it's all over the place too. I just typed as I thought.

Welcome to the forum, Erica!
If you would like to request an investigation, you can go to our main website at www.illinoisparanormalresearchsociety.com and click on 'Request an Investigation' on the left side of the page. We will then get back to you as to how we can possibly assist with the claims of activity in your home.

Thanks.

Uh. I'm not sure how that would be taken by my parents or the guy we rent from. Let alone the people in the town homes around us. My father has outright told us we're crazy that's why I just left a post. Thanks though.

Welcome to the boards Erica. Always something you can ask them if you are surely concerned.
