I'm afraid, and I can't take this anymore

Hypnagogic imagery is often auditory or has an auditory component. Like the visuals, hypnagogic sounds vary in intensity from faint impressions to loud noises, such as crashes and bangs (exploding head syndrome). People may imagine their own name called or a doorbell ringing. Snatches of imagined speech are common. While typically nonsensical and fragmented, these speech events can occasionally strike the individual as apt comments on—or summations of—their thoughts at the time. They often contain word play, neologisms and made-up names. Hypnagogic speech may manifest as the subject's own "inner voice", or as the voices of others: familiar people or strangers. More rarely, poetry or music is heard.[

This is really interesting, and something I've never heard of before!

Alien abduction will always be a victory for the demons until the name of Jesus is evoked.

When I was a younger Christian, I had several occasions where I was harassed by demonic activity. There were a couple of times where I laid in bed and then felt a sudden fear come upon me. I would be afraid to open my eyes for fear of what I would see. I would lay there paralyzed and barely able to talk. The only way that I could stop it from happening was to say the name of Jesus over and over again. After a while I got quite proficient at this and the attacks stopped.

Sorry but this video is clearly the work of some one with massive delusion and a complete lack of understanding of sleep paralysis. I have had OBE'S for most of my life and at one point truly believed that something supernatural was going on. The fact the you can stop the abduction process by using the name of Jesus is no more or less relevant than using the name of Zeus. The reason it works is because you have blind faith that it will. That is the only reason.
Saying having an interest in the Alien/UFO/Demon scenario opens you up to attack is also complete nonsense I have been studding this for the longest time and have hoped for some kind of confirmation that it is indeed real but I have never seen anything other than what I see in the out of body state or in lucid dreams. To link these things to biblical texts is purely delusion and nothing more.
Edit to add, as usual there are no videos.

Well, demons really hate the name of Jesus the Christ (Yeshua ha'Meshiach). If you're not a child of the Living God, then it's a good time to start. He gives you power over those things. It ain't gonna leave you alone. Those things can mimic a family member or friends voice to screw with you, sometimes move objects or scrach you to make you afraid. It's just a disembodied spirit of a Nephilim (fallen angel/human hybrid ghost).They feed on your fear because it makes them stronger.

Do not fear.

I am sorry you and your family have to go through this, it must be unbearable.
I would like to ask you if you have purchased any items (crystals, spiritual jewelry, pendants) or orgonite lately. If you have I would suggest you get rid of them immediately. I also agree with Murgatroid, praying to God is extremely powerful. Please remember that in case this is a supernatural phenomenon, you need to not fear as negative emotions feed such entities. Try to create a pleasant atmosphere in your home, have music playing, find reasons to smile and laugh. I know that it's hard given your current situation but it will help you and your family a lot. Don't let whatever this is fool you into believing it's more powerful than you because it is NOT. It wants you to think it is since it gains power through your fear.
God bless you and your family

I've experienced what I would call demons ever since I can remember. It wasn't until I became a darker person in my teens and lived in a basement room, that they ever came into the 3D realm in any real way. It was bad. I was being forced into sleep while sitting or even standing. One time I was forced out of body, and couldn't get back in for a bit.

Jesus Christ. Even thinking his name works, but it's best to say it if you can. I was usually in too much trouble to say anything.

I am not a christian, and I didn't grow up around any christians. For some reason in my most panicked fear my instincts went straight to Jesus.

Jesus Christ has saved me so many times, but now I have been mostly free of demonic things. They can only ever mess with me now if I am having bad fights with my girlfriend or having very negative thoughts about the future. Anger fear sadness, are emotions that bring these things around.

I stay positive these days. I don't ever usually get frustrated even anymore. That keeps these things away. Positivity is like poison to these things.



In emergency situations and bad attacks call on Jesus Christ, and put on some Bob Marley or whatever you consider to be happy music. I usually put on "three little birds" and "one love"

using sea salt....cast it thru the house as if you are planting seeds and 'order' the creature to leave the premises and do not return. burn white sage and smudge all the rooms to clear out negative energies. mix sea salt and corn meal together and sprinkle it in a circle around your home as a barrier to anymore negative spirits. if u cant do that u can sprinkle it into the corners of each room. the final option u have is to get lavender insense and pure extract/oil and create a solution to mist in the house. mix a few drops of lavender oil into a small spray bottle of rubbing alcohol and spray it around. do every room in the house including attics and closets. ive cleared apartments of negative entities using these methods. negative entities are attracted by satanists rituals and people with addictions. they are like having fleas so u have to treat them as such.

Hiya Aisling, I read your OP and all the replies. Seems like ATS can be a dangerous place to post these kinds of experiences and worries. Folk are making a bad situation worse with some of the explanations and solutions. When is it helpful to tell someone they’re being attacked by demons based on one OP?

Over the years, I’ve experienced a lot of the things you’ve been going through. I’ve been woken by bangs, voices and scary figures in the room. It doesn’t happen often, but enough for me to look for reasonable explanations.

Hypnagogia – this is hearing things or seeing things as we fall asleep.

Hypnopomic Hallucinations – these are sort of like visions some people have when part of their minds are awake and the other parts are still dreaming.

Exploding Head Syndrome – the stupidest name for a psychological phenomenon! It generally refers to being woken by very loud bangs and crashes. Last year, this happened to me maybe a dozen times. I thought it was the neighbours banging on the walls to stop me snoring until I read about it.

Sleep paralysis – again, this happens as we lie in the threshold of sleep and being awake. It can be highly disturbing at the time and wears off after a few minutes of cold sweats. It’s typically related to a lack of quality sleep and usually reflects a period of stress we go through. Seeing figures or feeling a ‘presence’ is part of the general shtick of SP. No lying – it can be a deeply scary thing even when you know what’s happening.

Sleep Apnea – this is another sleeping disorder whereby someone has breathing irregularities and wakes with a shock due to their breathing stopping.

Folie a deux – this can be mild or extreme. It’s the way people can get carried away with fear and find someone else who reinforces the fears. That way, they escalate each other and neither have the rationality to put the brakes on.

Having said all this, I’ve little doubt that we experience some things that aren’t explained by the above. I know I have. The point of posting these examples isn’t to deny your experience. Not at all. It’s to maybe help reassure you that *some* of it could be explained by the above. If you recognise some bad sleep patterns, toxic stress and so forth, maybe it isn’t as bad as you think it is right now?

These things also tend to run in families so your daughter could be experiencing them too.

OP, do you live in an old house?
Can you learn the history of that house?
Who lived there earlier and what can you learn about them?
Did anyone living there earlier have a traumatic death?

When you or your daughter hear the voice, can the other also hear it?
Do you have or can you get a voice activated recorder that might record the voice and maybe the breathing if it is loud enough for you to hear. Normally we do not hear others breathing.

Try asking it what it wants.

How old is your daughter. Is she pubescent? This could all be poltergeist activity -

"Gamergir,Poltergeist activity usually takes place when a young teenager is present.They can appear when puberty is present and the teen has emotional issues or trauma going on in their lives.They are often thought of as a negative spirit.Due to emotional and hormonal changes in the teens body,negative energy may be thrust outwardly sometimes moving or destroying objects telekinetically.Young teens seek to develop telekinetic abilities.Poltergeist activiity can cease just as fast as it started.It can last anywhere from a few hours to a few years.It is typically around a prepubescent female."

Aliens/et's? This doesn't sound like any of the usual stories about them. They seem to have an agenda whereas what you describe seems to be more misheivious or even sadistic taunting.

You got some very good advices here; not long ago I had a similar situation, although not so extreme when moving into a new apartment. I don't know if it was an entity or just some real bad energy left from someone else; but it felt really threatening. For the first time in my life I was afraid to go to sleep in my own house, with the door locked and two dogs sleeping next to my bed. I was waking in the middle of the night with the feeling that I'm not alone, and my dogs were restless too. I was having weird dreams, of dead people, and a lot of anger and violent impulses out of the blue. I was closing my eyes before sleeping and see random faces of unknown people and situations, like short flashes of visions, and didn't know what to do with it.
I'm not sure what it was, but felt like it's looking for an entrance into my head, or into my energy field. But I stood my ground and I knew that I must throw it out. The peak was one night when I dreamed of a close relative who is dead for a few years, standing at the foot of my bed and watching me. In the dream I got so angry, and I told him "you are dead and have no business coming to my house" then I pushed him all the way to the door and then out, screaming at him all the time to go away and never come back. I woke up very disturbed, but I knew I did a good thing in my dream. It was not my relative who visited me.
After that all those things slowly faded out, and now I have no problems of this sort. Still a little edgy sometimes at unexpected noises, until I realize that is from the neighbors or from outside.

So here are some advices from my limited experience, even if some of them are already posted by others:

Stand your ground; rather than being afraid, get angry at the thing and reassure yourself than it has no right to invade your life and home like that. If you hear it whispering or whatever, keep thinking "get out of my house!"

Do not investigate what or who it is! Do not try to discuss with it! The more you know about it, and think about it, the more energy it gets. Your constant reaction at whatever it does should be: "I'm not interested, get out of here."

Relocate the furniture in your bedroom, even if you turn the bed at the other side of the room. Also bring plants in the room, ( alive, of course, not plastic) at least until you solve this problem. The bigger and the greener plants, the better. Change the light bulbs in your bedroom.

Light candles, day and night, if not in your bedroom, then somewhere else in the house. I think that for about three months I continually had a candle alight somewhere in the house. I was buying a special kind of candle that lasts for 7 days. If you stay up late at night keep a candle next to you.

Burn incenses, or in generally spread nice smells in the house, not necessarily strong, but pleasant. Even a puff of your perfume in the air before you go to sleep is enough. Negative spirits are attracted to bad smells, and repelled by pleasant ones. Someone said something about orange peel; put some on your nightstand.

Never let the door to toilet open over night.

If you have mirrors in your bedroom, cover them over night, or even better, get them out. Never sleep with a mirror facing your bed. The same for TV.

In your bedroom, in that dark corner where you feel it hides, put a candle, or a plant, if there is no space, hang some pictures on that wall. Of course, if you have a belief, hang some appropriate religious things, or even make a mini-altar there, but if not, any universal symbol of love or peace is ok. I used a statue and various pictures of buddha.

A tiny night light would be great, if you can sleep with it, or a candle (make sure it doesn't flicker, or the shadows of it will scare you even more).

If you feel it, do not freeze with fear. Wake up, turn the light on, put some music, light a candle, turn on the TV. It's your house, reclaim it from it. If you choose to remain in bed, do it with the attitude that is late and you're in "no mood for games, so go away." Don't be a victim, it's what those kind of things are after. The moment when you see it as a small annoyance and not as a threat, it will lose interest.

Maybe it will not disappear over night, but if you keep pushing it out, and refuse to play it's game, it will go away.
As for leaving the house for a while, I don't think it will help. It will wait for you to come back.My apartment was empty for about 4 months before I rented. Is your attention that it wants, and now it knows how to get it.

The salts works, but must be sea salt, charged somehow with positive energy (google that if you want to do it) And if you use salts, they say to put a seashell somewhere in a corner, so the entity can hide in it, and then you throw it out. I didn't use this, but I did all the above and it helped.
Also I know that the sound of bells helps; either by calming you, or chasing out the spirits, I'm not sure. If you can get a bell with a pleasant sound, and use it whenever you're frightened it would be great. I personally love the sound of bells, I think they probably come right from the heaven.

Good luck to you and be strong.

Some of the things I advice you here are for you, to make you feel better, some are for the thing. But most important of all is your attitude. Whatever that is, it have no power over you unless you believe it have.

When is the first time that this happened to you? Recently? Was there snow on the ground the first time? How old was your child the first time? How old is your home? Have you checked the energy leaking?(like around the outlets, wiring, etc.)

Actually,

Guy Malone of

has more than 400 cases in his files that disagree with your assertions.

Having talked with him extensively . . . and having studied the topic of UFO's and ET's since 1962, I'll easily agree with Guy Malone's assertions over yours.

Eve and Dusty mentioned something SO important:

Back in the 1990's, I got involved with investigating certain events that happened in the American Midwest, like animal mutilations. These were almost always associated with UFO's. And it's because people connect something akin to "a UFO event" with another much stranger event, like an animal mutilation. It left me deeply upset, and more questions then I could invent answers.

At this stage of the game, I'm willing to invite all rational options. The truth is the more serious I investigate this subject the weirder it is. Or it would seem. I think the advice to investigate the environment, the chemicals involved makes enormous sense. Contaminants in the environment can be subtle and nasty, so lets exclude that first, and go from there.

there isn't... There are 21 positive videos on this page. Maybe you need to lighten up.

I experienced some similar things and I'll share what I did to overcome them. I have heard whispers, felt 'something' poke me softly on my bed, saw shadows and experienced unexplained happenings in my dwellings back say 7-10 years ago. This was, ironically, back when I was calling myself "Christian" as well. Praying didn't work for me, holy water and oils didn't work, church didn't work. I have nothing against religion, but I do laugh at some of the more religious posts trying to scare you straight, so to speak. There are many ways to skin a cat, as it's said. Check this out OP, that is YOUR house. That is YOUR domain. You have to say screw you, this is MY place, go the hell away to "whatever" it is and *mean* it, in your own way.

Now, if you believe in a religion, go for that route, but I absolutely am living proof, that any determined human can muster the mental and spiritual power to dismiss any unwanted "presence" and you don't necessarily need any spell or to call some special holy name, just pure will to make it go away. It will work. I rarely even have nightmares anymore, much less bothered by some "presence" anymore. When I do have the rare nightmare, I am able to realize what it is, and I realize that I am in the dream world...where I can turn into a hawk, an eagle, a lion, screw it, even Chimchar from Pokemon if I want and battle whatever dares to disturb the sanctity of my rest. Really try to stop being so afraid. That's the first step. Fake it till you make it. Like another poster said, you have to get mad and literally yell to the effect of, "Go the eff away right now. This is my space. I detest you here. Go away!" It does work. Just believe in yourself and do it as often as you have to. I don't want to pry into your life OP, but often times, when these things happen, there is turmoil in the home attracting the chaotic spirits to your dwelling space. Resolve these issues too, and I must tell you, pure frankincense resin is great for putting you at ease and clearing the airs...and making darkness dispel itself fast. Get the best kind you can buy. I usually burn it on a piece of foil over hot incense coal, but you can put it right on the coal (be warned, it's very smokey burned that way, I'd suggest the foil).

You have to fight. This is a test for you. I hope you don't mind me using this analogy: This is REAL Jedi stuff, your test of using the balanced light side of the force against the dark side. It is very real, and that is where I agree with the religionists. But it is *you* that's being tested. Not Jesus or a god. You. When you learn to overcome it, fight it, and win...so much good opens up for you spiritually. And they don't come back once you grow stronger in the force. You get to the point where you can feel it trying to encroach upon you and you just psychically laugh at it, and it disperses that easily. You'll get there. Trust in yourself.

My girlfriend has a problem with a spirit in an old house she lived in. Her daughter was little and the spirit would mimic her voice. She found a website and was able to get rid of it. Now it was out of the house but the spirit moved outside. It would tap on the windows, especially if their was alot of lightning in the area... Here's the site.

Just ignore it, and it will go away.

It can't hurt you, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
