our teenager daughter shared she doesn't like our house and she hears voices,there was a suicide

As a child, teenager, and young adult I was what I like to call a sensitive. Not a psychic because in my book psychics tend to go looking for trouble by channeling spirits. I however don't go looking for them they come to me.
Ok so I may still have the gift but it seems to be weakening a bit. Over a month ago my family was in a serious car accident. We were T-boned on the passengers side of the car. My daughter and I were on the passengers side. The glass shattered, her head was against the glass while she was sleeping. Instead of feeling the glass and the metal of the cars I felt my face against a soft wing. I believe I felt a guardian angel. My daughter and I made it out with somewhat minor injuries(compared to what could had happened). So yes I believe it's possible to be sensitive to spirits.
As a teenagers I heard a conversation between my mom and grandma that didn't play out till the next night. The morning after that actual conversation my grandma died. That night I saw two white figures in my grandma's living room one was waving the other as if to say it's time to go now.
I've walked into houses that I didn't know the history of and could tell there was something there. I once overheard a replay of an incident in a woman's house that I babysat for. The home was a duplex at one time and the guy downstairs killed himself and the guy up stairs was accused of the murder and killed for it. The guy upstairs professed his innocents even in death.
I have also had a sense when something bad was going to happen to me, but never the good sense to listen to that sense.
All I'm saying is this could be real, but also don't rule out that your daughter may have heard stories about this kids and her imagination could be running amuck.

When my daughters were 3 and 4, my 4 year old constantly said she saw a man walking up and down the halls...she said, "he's sad, mommy". She told me he use to smile and wave at her. My friend, who has always been very sensitive, knowing nothing about my daughter's incidents, ran down my stairs one night swearing someone was lingering in the hall...Scared the HELL out of me! Here, I learned later, through extensive research from our county office, that the house we were living in was a scene of a brutal murder...a woman had murdered her husband, buried him in our basement, and ended up dying herself before anything was discovered. This happened about 40 years before we moved in (we rented). Needless to say, I was just blown away by it all. I had some individuals come in and try to "direct" his spirit to the "other side" to no avail. We left that house within 3 months after this discovery. It was just too much for me to handle. Open the lines of communication with your child...don't dismiss her. I've found that kids are so much more sensitive to things that have happened in the past. Good luck.

Quoting Joanne:

She knows the story of the family that lived in our home prior to us...a teenage boy who committed suicide. She does not like to sleep in her room at all.

I re-read what you said and I guess I am reading between the lines Joanne.  She already knows the story of the family before you..

  What is your daughters age? Is this the first time this has ever happened?  Is this a new house?  Now if you want to know if she is telling you the truth or not...  ask her simply this question..   do you see lots of light or lots of darkness when you see him?  And do you feel anything else or is he telling you anything else?  I need to know anything she says.   I am a medium, not by choice, I was born this way..  ingrained deeply in my genetics.  My son is also but he 'channels' spirits differently ironically he is autistic and has developmental delays and when he began seeing spirits we thought he was becoming mentally ill.  (If I don't respond promptly send a private msg to my FB, that is ok.  I will not respond to anything else so do not ask if I did not make an offer first.  Thank you.)

On the idea of having your house blessed or cleansed.  Have at it.  Seriously.  Waste of time, waste of money and waste of resources but any true psychic would tell you that.  Why..  because if a spirit is there they are there for a reason and they generally don't just go away.   People waste a lot of time and money in people who say they can do this, etc.

Having the house blessed would be a wonderful Idea....casting out any entity that does not belong in the name of Jesus...as parents you have this authority..I read somewhere that demons are leagalistic in nature and must obey commands of the head of household if done by a believer in Jesus name and by the power of His blood! My son believes Jesus can cast out demons and the demons respect the power of Jesus as he has already defeated them! Anointing of the house and property is most definately necessary!

I heard somewhere that teenagers are more prone to this type of activity because of their emotional state. I don't know if it is true or not, but it does make some sense.

Joanne;

Hi there!......I am not a religious person but I do believe in god........I do however believe in spirits and have had several encounters(no I am not schitzophrinic, or a worshiper of any kind) I just believe in spirits. Every house I have lived in and I have lived in many as well as in different states......has had spirits.The easiest thing I have found is to find the history......was her room his room? is this the only room she hears them? Was he a troubled kid or was his death unexpected? is this the room they found him in? Many things to take into concideration. But most of the time to my understanding....the spirits just want comfort expecialy the younger ones..... If this was his room.....sat down with or without her beside you and talk to him.....by name if you know it(more personal).......let him know that you are not there to take his home away....that he is more than welcome to stay there( this was his home after all, no matter what pain he was in at the time of his suicide) but he needs to understand that you and your family need a home as well and that he is scaring you all and that it's not nice to do .......that you are more than willing to share the house with him but he needs to be nice because you will not hurt him or make him leave as long as he is nice.Explain to him that your not sure what happened or why it happened to him but you are sorry because he was just a young man that needed love and understanding. Tell him he is welcome in your family as long as he stops scaring everyone.......this has alwyas worked for me.......but you need to be a welcoming person and believe what you are saying. Many say spirits stay where they died because they don't have, or know of anywhere else to go or that they need some one to understand them and give them the forgiveness that they seek.

Sometimes the child is a lost and confused soul before death which is heartbreaking to me personaly for no child should ever feel that way no matter their age. Maybe he just needs you as a mom to tell him everything is okay now and whatever problems and pain he had before can no longer hurt him and that he needs to move on to find total peace.......I could go on about this for hours but I will stop at this .........I wish you luck and peace but please explain to your daughter that all spirits are not evil that they are just lost souls that are confused and scared....that most just need understanding and guidence. Not like she sees or may have seen in movies. And please do not dismiss her concerns.

My eight year old used to say she saw black things in her room. So everynight we prayed out loud that God would protect her with his gaurdian angles and take away the black evil things. We would ask for strength and tell satan he was not aloud in her room or our house. We would ask GOD to keep us safe and wake us with the morning light. The darkness went away after a couple of days, we still pray it everynight. Maybe if she prayed the boy would find peace and that GOD could give her reassurance that he is always with her. Ask GOD to send angles to band his presence from the room and her house. Good luck and will pray for her

I agree that a lot of questions have to be answered before you can figure out whether there is still a spirit of suicide left in the house or it is an actual physical ailment. The story may have engaged her imagination and she may be working herself into believing she hears voices - or it could be real. Again, more information is needed. I would pursue several courses of action. Find someone who can explain suicide to her with some authority - perhaps knowing that it is more sad than scary will help.

The house blessing is also an excellent suggestion. I invited the intercessors group over to my new house and they walked it blessing every room. It couldn’t hurt to try that. And your daughter doesn’t need to believe in God for it to work- God is able to help whether you believe or not - but her fears may not be soothed because she does not believe God can help. He can, but she may still not believe. So several different methods may be needed.

I would not encourage her to talk to the voices though as there are only two possibilities angels or demons, and this doesn’t sound like and angel! If you don’t know the power and authority you have in Christ a demon can kick your butt.

I agree with many of the above. Ask a Minister of religion who understands what to do and have him 'anoint' the top of every door and window with oil and command anything of the spirit world that is not at peace/peaceful to leave as this isn't that 'person's' abode anymore. I could talk in more authoritive or 'religious' terms, but not everyone understands what this is about. It works whether the person seeing /hearing these things believes or not. If the person disturbed by these appearances doesn't improve, you may with their conscent anoint them with oil and command peace for them also, (or have it done for them by the minister).

Rhonda - posted on 12/07/2009

I don't know what to suggest except ask that you change her room in the house or sleep in her room with her to see what she is hearing, it may be an animal under your house or in your attic and the story behind your house is scary and any little noise she hears probably scares her. I would also find out from your realtor if any other families lived there after the suicide and if they heard anything. She really needs help adjusting to this home, I can understand where she is coming from, due to my own experience, even as an adult.

Truely sit down and listen to your daughter. Bring in who ever you have to to make that home her home. But do not dismiss her.

I too lived in a haunted house when I was a teenager. I heard the voices and felt the presence of "ghosts". I think educating your daughter on ghosts and bringing in someone that she connects with spiritually - a priest, a shaman, a medium, whoever to bless/cleanse the house will go a long way towards helping her. We didn't know the whole story at the time, but several murders took place on the property (The house itself was over 100 years old) and once we found out, what I'd felt and heard made sense. At the time, I thought I was going crazy. Please don't dismiss what she is feeling.

We had two major spirits in the house and several in the garage (murder victims?). One was a nice lady (my mother saw her) who was happy to have a nice family living in the house again. She would find my lost things and place them on my bed. I even tested it one time with a ring I'd been missing for over a week. I made my bed, asked her to find it, then left the room. I came back about 20 minutes later and the ring was laying on the middle of my bed. The other was an ominous, evil spirit. We found out later that he used to bring young girls to the garage and torture/rape them. When the house was being remodeled after we left, they found photographs of this inside the walls that were taken in the garage. This led to an investigation where they found bodies in the field behind the garage. After we found this out, I felt justified in my feelings about not liking to go to the garage because it was "creepy" and I didn't like the room where the pictures were found - my sisters room. My sister tried to commit suicide shortly after we left the house.



So, don't dismiss her feelings. Get someone in to bless/cleanse the house and see if you can do some research. Maybe contact the family that lived there if you know where they are and ask them to come say goodbye as part of the cleansing.

Call a priest, or your local medium to rid it... or just tell them to leave your daughter alone, and leave your house.

Jeanette - posted on 12/06/2009

when I was a teenager, the house I lived a murder had taken place; I did not know it and I felt creepy being in that room especially by myself; I shared my story with my cousin and afterwards told my mother who was shocked and then shared the story of the house. We prayed and blessed the room and the feeling went away. Prayer works wonders

Honestly, I do not consider "spirits" to be something imagined, a sign of mental illness, always demonic, etc. - I consider them another real aspect of the world we exist in - one not completely known about or understood as of yet. But like anything else not completely known about - erring on the side of caution is always a good thing.

If she hears voices then it is important to get her help before something bad happens. Hearing voices is a serious thing but it is something that requires help.

Leanne - posted on 12/05/2009

Take her to someone who will ask the right questions in order to help her. I would suggest the doctor or a psychologist.

Leanne - posted on 12/05/2009

What do the voices say?
When does she hear the Voices?
Where is she when she hears the voices?
How long has she been hearing the voices
What doesn't she like about the house?
How long have you lived in the house before she started hearing the voices?
Is she having problems at school or with friends?
How old is she?
You have a lot of questions to ask before you can figure out what the best wy to help

Is it possible to switch her room? If not ~ try sponsoring sleepovers with a couple of her peers. Creating good times to remember and hanging photos of the sleep over can help.

Again, if the daughter is not a believer in God, doing the God thing isn't going to work for her. It has to be put into a realm she believes in. But Mary is correct, blessings can be done by yourself in whichever aspect is believed because the key is her belief.

For pagans, native tribes, etc. things like white sage is used to cleanse the home. For other faiths, other methods are used. For those who simply believe in the spirit world - spirits can be communicated with and reasoned with - and not all spirits are "demonic" in their nature.

My point is that all of these remedies have been found to work well because they are faith based remedies. You simply have to go with the one which your daughter has the strongest faith in, is all.

Be aware also that mental disorders can begin to appear in the teenage years. I have a niece that developed schitzophrenia (sp?) in her late teens. This may not be the case, but keep an open mind.

Regarding the spiritual aspect; you can bless your house yourself.
I have done this and it works. Walk through each room and pray for the Holy Spirit to cover your home and fill it. Demand that any and all evil leave the home immediately in the name of Jesus Christ. Move from room to room doing this. Spending extra time in your daughters rooms, her bed and so on.
Ghosts are not just floating entities. They are actually demons that try to influence us.
They cannot physically harm us because the power of God/Jesus is more powerful.
You may need to pray over your home more than once and often. Think of demons as pesky rodents that are unvited. They are everywhere anyway but I believe some people are more discerning as to their presence. Your daughter may be. Tell her not to be aftraid, but to trust in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
It is very important to pray for the blessings and peace in the name of Jesus Christ.

I agree with some of the others about blessing the house. But I also belief that it wouldn't work if there's not a relationship with god.

Is she hearing the boy's suicide or just seeing his appearance? Or do you think she's just freaked out that someone commited suicide in the very house your family calls home?

Jamie - posted on 12/05/2009

I agree wtih Dana.... we had a simular problem and had to bless our house and it helped bigtime. Help her find things to make her feel more comfortable too, such as a night light, or soothing music to sleep with, maybe running a fan in the room as white noise so it drowns out other noises? We tried alot of things with our girls, some helped, some didnt. Most importantly, if you believe this is really going on, you need to let her know that you believe her, and support her and will try to figure this out... part of the fear and anxiety is feeling alone, once our girls realized that they could talk to us about it anytime, it really helped relieve some of the fear. Good luck to you and your daughter, sending comfort and support your way.

Colene/Tommi - posted on 12/04/2009

Dana suggestion is a good one but only if you daughter believes in the power of God - if not, it isn't going to work. You need to focus on solutions which run in line with her beliefs - whatever they are and work with those. If she believes in God, then work with that, if she believes in ghosts, then work with that, if she simply has an active imagination you likely will need to work with that one. But whichever solution - the key is communication with her about what she is feeling and more specifically why she is feeling it and what she feels will relieve her fears or discomfort.

Dana - posted on 12/04/2009

Me I would ask a preacher, pastor, minister or clergy to come and bless the house and property or I would move. Your home should be your daughters haven and where she feels safe if not it would be best to move if you can't put that spirit to rest. May God bless your home and family and let any and all spirit find their resting place in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
