There is a ghost where i live, how do i get rid of it?

Nanette,I'm glad to hear someone else doesn't buy the lost souls crap. The spirit is in your home for it's own reasons. It cannot hurt you or your children. It's your home and you can lay down some rules with this spirit. You can tell it,for example,not to show itself or talk to your children. However,keep in mind,Nanette,how you and your boyfriend react to this spirit will dictate how your children react. I've had several experiences with spirits,both before and after I had children. It is only natural that you would worry about your children;obviously you're a good Momma,but why not explain to them that there is nothing to be frightened of and that a spirit is a normal thing. It is only the conscience of a person who used to be alive and isn't now. If you take away the fear your children have and your own anxiety about this,the whole situation may look less threatening. Maybe try doing some EVP's,or electronic voice phenomena. Get a good digital recorder and before you use it,familiarize yourself with the sounds in your home so you know what you're hearing when you play it back. Ask simple questions,such as the spirits name,why it is there,things of this nature. You could do this as a family. I have always been very open with my children about spirits and the paranormal,and have never told them these things are not real or possible. As a result,my children have no fear of spirits;it's just as normal to them as a human is. If you just can't have this spirit around,you can burn sage in all of the rooms in your home to cleanse it. Most important,Nanette,don't be frightened of this. Something else to consider: this may not be a spirit. It could be ya'll have a fear cage. There is nothing paranormal about this. It is simply high electrical energy in your home. You may have an over loaded fuse box or something along those lines. High EMF's(electro magnetic fields) can cause hallucinations,among other things. Have an electrician check into this. Also,check if there is mold or paint cans around the house. Fumes from these things can also cause hallucinations. I'm not saying you are hallucinating,just that you should check into these things. Keep in mind,ya'll haven't been hurt and ya'll aren't going to be. There is nothing to be frightened of. If you need more help,you could contact the psychology department of a local university and ask for the paranormal dept.. I hope this has put your mind at ease and given you some help.
