Everyone in the house is saved and baptized, with the exception if my son who is to young to comprehend. Also one member of the house has PTSD, it seems to be playing that card to cause agitation and anger so it can feed off it.
Ermm....isn't Barakiel supposed to be an archangel? I think the name is traditionally spelled Baraquial though.

That doesn't help. A name means nothing in the grand scheme of things. More, info could be gathered around the encounter. Such as, did said entity give reference to surroundings, reverence to another higher, etc.

Not that im aware of, we have however only been in the house for 3 years. The activity has been seemingly slowly escalating since we moved in.

Holywater and salt is not the answer, nor is Medieval Demonology.

As I stated in another thread, the more you feed your fears and superstitions into the 'entity', the more problems you will have. If you read through the thread and take these elaborate dogmatic explanations and rituals to banish it seriously, the more power you give into the situation. Been dealing with 'spirits' for over thirty years. It is common place for me to invite the supposedly worst of the worst into my home. No possessions. No mental illness. At times I've experienced a variety of paranormal phenomenon, always to my delight, even though some of it has a definite 'darkness' and 'heaviness' to it. But, nothing I can't handle, ever, in over thirty years investigating the paranormal as a skeptical believer. Never took the spiritual/religious types seriously or their paranoid ramblings whatsoever, and now I just laugh away (the best banisher of all) anything I don't want around. Belief is the key. The people who went from haunted house atheist to Christians are very amusing. In other places of the world they call on their own protectors and those work as well. So much for Jesus.
In the paranormal, spiritual doctrines have become religions. It's a damned shame, but people will let their brains fall out just from seeing a shadow move.
"I saw shadows moving. I called on Jesus, although I never believed before. The shadows went away. I knew then that these really were demons and that Jesus was the truth, so I became a Christian..."
They adopt entire belief systems from seeing a shadow move. They will go through elaborate rituals and banishing procedures... just because someone else told them it was the right way. There is so much BS in the paranormal world because of religious/spiritual doctrine/dogma it seriously turns my stomach. And it continually gets parroted over and over, because it does work, but only because of the *belief*.
Belief is the key. It can strengthen you, or it can become a crutch that becomes so littered with archaic nonsense and garbage that you will have a very difficult time giving your subconscious mind the enema it needs to clean the crap out. Don't feed your mind garbage based on ancient superstitious dogma.
