Any advice appreciated on this?

@LornaLove Lady, relax I don’t think most ghosts are malavelent if you want to buy into that.. I don’t know what to think. I set in my office one day and some form peaked into my office. I still don’t know what it was.

If there’s something strange and it don’t look good….

But seriously, Try a change of routine. Like socialize more. Watch a funny movie. Go to a fitness gym for a good workout. Do something fun. Then move on.

Good health to you!

I don’t want to invalidate your experience or your feelings on the topic, however I would like to offer some logical insights that might apply.

You haven’t offered any details of consequence, other than to say that you had “a very bad experience” and one night / early morning experienced “something quite horrific”. (Perhaps both of those phrases refer to the same thing.) You also didn’t say anything about exactly how long you had been in the hotel or any other details of your trip. (I presume that this was a trip, and that you weren’t in a hotel in or near your home town.)

All of those things can be related to the travel. Most of my travels these days take me to the opposite side of the world, to India and Malaysia specifically, lately. Aside from the exhaustion of the travel itself – normally 19 to 25-hour trips, door to door – when I get there I’m on “the opposite side of the clock” from where I should be. I’ve had some of the worst nights of sleep when I’m most exhausted, and I’ve gotten tremendously sick (before I’ve even had “foreign food”, that is), and had some of the strangest dreams in foreign hotel rooms. In fact, my first night in a hotel even in the same time zone where I normally live is often an uncomfortable and sleepless one.

I don’t attribute any of my problems to “the hotel” or “the country”. It’s part of the stress of the travel I have to do and the job that I’m traveling to perform.

And aside from dreams and nightmares (and I have had some amazingly realistic dreams of entrapment and physical restraint – a particular phobia of mine) as well as dreams of violence, revenge and retribution, which is no part of my normal makeup.

However, I have never even investigated the particular histories of the hotels I’ve stayed at. Most of them are old enough that I presume that extraordinary events have probably happened from time to time and place to place. I’m not predisposed to thinking in terms of haunting, ghosts and other psychic phenomena. I think you are, and I think that’s a big part of why you feel about things (unspecified things) in the unspecified way that you do.

Again, I’m not trying to invalidate you. Your feelings are certainly real enough, but I’m suggesting that the bases for them may not be as direct a cause as you may believe. But that belief feeds the feelings, which intensifies the belief. It’s a vicious cycle.

Since you seem to lean toward the supernatural explanation, remind yourself that places are haunted, not people. If there was an actual ghost at the hotel, it wouldn’t follow you home, you know?

I know that sometimes after watching a scary movie, I’ll feel very anxious and scared of every noise, but I remind myself that it was ‘only a movie’, and then get busy doing something other than thinking about it. Watch a (non-scary!) movie, do a crossword puzzle, play a game online…anything that will let your mind rest elsewhere.

You don’t explain what your “horrific” experience was, so I feel like we don’t have enough details to go on.
But why do we tend to think of ghosts as scary? Only because that idea is omnipresent in our culture.
Who knows, maybe you are just a very empathetic and sensitive person, and spirits feel safe revealing themselves to you. Maybe it will help you to frame your experience in this light.
One of my closest friends is empathetic to the point that it is painful for her, and she has experienced a number of paranormal visitations like this.

While I don’t believe in the supernatural, I make no light of your state of preoccupation and nervousness; it can be overwhelming. I’m going through similar feelings over a health concern. I don’t think logic will ease your (or my) discomfort, but a bit of time passing will.

Imagine a cocoon of white light that protects you ( positive feelings).
Ask for protection from your “Spiritual Guide” is you believe in that.

Thank you all so much for your answers. I understood when I posted it, that of course not all people believe in the paranormal. I have mixed feelings about it as this is the second time in my life I have experienced it. I also understand stress can cause strange things to happen. I want to post what happened to explain it. Not sure though how a rather long paragraph here ‘would go down’ so to speak.

Thank you again as all of you helped in some way. I didn’t sleep much last night. But I do feel tonight I will. As also time is passing :)

@LornaLove, I think it would help people to understand if you feel you can explain. It’s up to the individual members whether they read the post. It’s up to you whether you feel comfortable sharing the experience though.

@Bellatrix. OK.

The hotel I stayed in was very charming and very old. I was quite fortunate to be placed in the honey moon suite. Which was reasonable priced. So was grateful for this little ‘extra’ at a low cost. I stayed there around two weeks.

Nothing untoward occurred. Except one evening all my lights tripped. And the fire escape light above the door was shining into the room very brightly. But clearly that was on a different circuit. But it was very illuminated.

One evening my friend left the hotel around 2am. I began to hear the oddest noises. As though people were falling hard and being dragged across a rough surface. I texted my friend and said something was going on above me in the room upstairs. Then realized there was no room upstairs. He said perhaps it was a room next door. It went on for ages. But I did think it strange if it were the room next door as the sound was then traveling in an odd way. But more than that, it was so loud and I wondered why the hotel porter had not rushed upstairs to check?

I didn’t sleep much as I though someone or a few people were being hurt.

I lay down to sleep with my phone beside me. And felt as though the bed moved. As though a person had sat on it.

The next morning at breakfast I was 15 minutes late due to over sleeping. The ladies serving me asked why I looked so tired this particular morning and I explained.

They told me that many years ago there was a fire in the loft above my room and the two rooms next to me. That people had been trapped and firemen had saved some not all. They remarked that a few not all visitors had commented on strange things happening in those three rooms .

The management approached me and confirmed this and moved me that morning. However things did not improve much. As objects moved around my room. (Not when I was there but when I came back).

I have a feeling tonight I will sleep since I’m exhausted. And my new home is so lovely. But I hear one noise and my heart races. I am an anxious person to start with. I’m sure though time will put this to the back of my mind. And if someone can explain this logically then maybe that would help.

Well, my house is haunted. It’s over 100 years old, and there is a farmer who gets up at the HORRIBLE hour of 4:00 a.m. and stomps around upstairs, then comes clomping downstairs in his big old farmer boots and heads out to milk the ghost cows.

I’m being factious, but it’s true…the first few times it happened I went upstairs to see what the kids were doing moving around upstairs at 4 a.m. They were fast asleep. When I heard him come downstairs I got up AGAIN to see who was coming downstairs and if everything was OK. Nobody there. After the 3rd time I hollered, “Do you think you could be a little quieter? It’s 4 in the morning!”

I’ve lived her for 13 years. If he’s still doing it, I’ve learned to sleep right through it.

However, the other day Rick had an experience upstairs (he has an office in one of the kid’s old rooms.) He was working when a commotion broke out in the room next door. He thought it was the cat….but he searched couldn’t find the cat. Went down stairs…well, the cat was outside.
When he related it to me he said, “The next time I’ll ask the farmer if he needs some help.”

Lots of unexplained things happen, but it doesn’t scare me. I’m sure there is a logical explanation, but I’ve kind of grown attached to the farmer so that’s my story and I’m sticking with it! But it does seem to me he could clean up after himself a little more.

2) Tell the spirit or ghost to seek the light, and that its physical body has perished and it’s time (and good) to leave this physical realm. Tell negative ghosts that they will see other spirits (loved ones) who are called to direct and guide them; and will be treated with love and forgiveness no matter what they’ve done. Ghosts need to know that they can be affecting others negatively, and that it is time for them to move on in life and unto peace, leaving concerns and suffering behind.

When I told my Mom about the Farmer, without my permission, she just blurted out “Leave this house in the name of Jesus!” Made me mad. I said, “Mom! He was here first!” She looked at me like I was crazy…..?
