Visitor

[poliphilo]

"Turn over slowly," says Ailz. "And tell me what you see."

We're in bed. We've been in bed ten minutes or so. It's just past midnight.

I turn over. "Where?" I ask.

"About level with my shoulder."

I can't see anything and I say so. "What am I supposed to see?"

"There's a shadow. I was looking at the wall and suddenly the darkness got darker. And there's movement inside it."

"You think we've got a visitor?"

"Yes. You really can't see it?"

"No. But then I never can."

Bah; I find it really frustrating. I'm the one who's interested in ghosts- the true believer- but I never see a thing.

Shortly after she'd drawn my attention to it, the shape faded. I don't think this house is haunted; we don't have any permanent, unlisted residents; but we do get these visitors from time to time. Ailz never sees enough detail to identify them, but there was no feeling of menace or hostility- there never is (we have protection in place)- so I guess it was a friend.

I'd love to know who...

I always ask the Gods/Guardian etc., to allow nothing who holds ill will towards us to enter. If there are noises on the street at night then I put 3 circles (Over the top, round the middle and lengthways) around the car to keep it safe - I also do this if I'm in a car with an idiot driver.

I put the 3 circles round the house when we leave it empty and ask the Guardian to look after it - and us. He sort of comes with us.

I also talk to my Gods & Goddesses a fair amount.

Recently when I go to bed at night I often hear an owl hooting which gives me a feeling of security as my main Goddess is Minerva and the owl is Her symbol.

Thank you for this. I find this whole subject really interesting, although - despite being a rabid collector of ghost stories - it's not something I've ever had any experience of myself.

We also 'wear' protection when going out into crowds. Have you ever noticed how your mood can be affected by those around you?

I picture myself surrounded my mirrors which reflect away other people's thoughts and energies - not harming anyone just bouncing into the light. poliphilo pictures himself wearing a suit of armour which, again, repels stuff 'thrown' by other people.
