Why is this Spirit Annoying Me?
When a spirit won’t leave you alone, it’s probably because they feel comfortable with you. To clarify, your energy makes them desire your company. Are you new to magick? Maybe you haven’t grasped controlling your energy yet.
At the beginning of my spiritual journey I didn’t properly set boundaries. I had a troublesome spirit become a “back and forth” annoyance to me and my son. Both of us on our spiritual awakening and new to magick. I imagined our home was shooting out a beacon of light to the astral. Or a big blinking neon sign with an arrow pointing to us!
Not to mention my son was tuning in to his spiritual gifts. That boy would fall asleep with his iPad blasting in his ear to stop the otherworldly chatter. We discovered my son is a medium and the spirits did too.
Suddenly, I would have to tell spirits to leave him alone. Although the chatter started to decrease, I noticed a spirit hanging around me. It seemed as though I would banish it from me, but it would go bother my son for a while. Frequently, we were passing it back and forth.
For the most part, beings interact with us all the time. These can be from this plane, upper or lower planes, any dimension, or even a different galaxy. With this in mind, contact with entities range in reasons:
- a spirit from a past life connection with unresolved issues
- a traumatized soul in search of comfort
- a spirit who is lost and seeking direction
- a negative spirit whose goal is to stop our spiritual growth
- intercourse with someone that has an entity attachment
- a confused ghost
- doing spirit work in witchcraft

Get Rid of Annoying Spirits
Whatever the reason for a spirit hanging around, they can disrupt our lives.
Firstly, tell them no. Be polite but firm and tell them you can’t help them. This is your space and ask them to leave. Most spirits will accept this. Then, of course, cleanse yourself and your environment.
It’s important to regularly clear your energetic field. Imagine a bright light cleansing your aura and ask your angels and guides to help. Simply say, “Please clear me now. Thank you.”
Use a smudge stick of sage or Palo Santo and give everything a good smoke cleanse. As a spiritual person, there is nothing that feels purer than smudging.
Next, create and put up a ward. Warding prevents unwanted energies from entering your space. For example, casting a circle.
In your mind’s eye, imagine a bright light forming a circle around your space or home. You can add a chant if you like. Something along the lines of, “With the power of my Higher Self, I cast this circle of protection, in every element direction.”
Over time, they build up enough power and don’t have to be charged as often. A ward can be used to keep energies out or keep them in.
Consider choosing an object to turn into your guardian ward. Start by cleansing and charging the object, then set your intention. Energetically tie guardian to the area by visualizing a barrier around the space. Finally, place it in a permanent spot and activate it. Such as telling it its new role.
Set Those Boundaries!

Hello. I live with my elderly Mom and for many years, she experiences strange thing’s at night when trying to sleep. Something wake’s her up all night long by touching her, talking, whispering, singing. Also, we find thing’s missing. My mom had about $300 on her night stand and the next day it was gone. Then a calculator was missing. We looked everywhere. Next day we found both the money and calculator in our spare room. Just laying there in the open.
I only experienced a couple things… being touched lightly on my hand. But one night, I was sleeping and wasn’t sure if I woke up or was dreaming but I sat up in bed and someone pulled upwards from the center of my blanket like they were using two fingers and lifted the blanket in the air. Freaked me out. We’ve tried everything to get rid of it. My mom seems to think it’s a relative of my Dad. Many year’s ago his cousin gave my mom his deceased mother’s tarot cards and since then it hasn’t stopped. We don’t know what else to do. Can you help in any way? Ty
Hi, Wendy! Spirits do like to play tricks on the living. You should try to firmly stating out loud that it needs to leave. Next, cleanse the home with some sort of smoke bath – incense, sage, or Palo Santo. Or, you can even use an oil diffuser.
Be sure to cleanse the tarot cards and wrap them in a silk cloth. I hope this helps!
I live in in old apts and everyone has had activity in theirs . I am having a hard time right this minute with several who stay upstairs and I made the lady mad and now they have been following me around , I mean to another apt toy friends house I hear them whispering I feel their vibration they are evil spirits trying to get to me . So I’ve been praying for days and asking God for protection over evil and over protection over my house so they can’t enter . Well my God is a Awesome God who has always been by my side and has always kept me safe but he hasn’t removed them and I don’t know why . It’s a very scary situation one I’ve never had to face . I don’t know if someone has brought them in , are gave me something cause they do ,. I just don’t know what to do she won’t give up where ever I sit their under me (vibration) where I stand (vibration) maybe it’s the energy I don’t know , then theirs music always the same . I’m so tired 😫 Any advice ? I’ll be grateful if you have any knowledge what this is all about. She is mad. Cussing me all day cause she can’t get to me.
Yikes! Sounds frustrating. I’ll try to help:
First, protection. Placing a protective white light around yourself is a simple but powerful energetic practice. It’s used in many spiritual traditions to create a shield of positive energy and block out negativity and unwanted influences.
Next, set your intention.
Silently or out loud, say something like:
“I now call in divine protection. I surround myself with pure white light. I am safe, I am grounded, and only love and light may enter my space.”
Visualize this light becoming more vibrant and solid all around you.
Burn sage or Palo Santo, or even an incense stick, and walk through your home.
Tell her you’re sorry for the upset or sadness she’s feeling, but it’s time for her to go.
Ask an Archangel to escort her, and any others to the light and imagine the space being cleared out.
I hope this helps!
