I grew up in a home that was severely haunted. I'm not looking to make this into an /x/ thread, but to be brief, everyone who stepped into my childhood home regardless of belief or religion has mentioned extreme anxiety, or experiencing something. This has resulted in developing a crippling fear of the dark, and basically being alone in any large dwelling. Currently I live in an average sized apartment. I'm married, no kids. Everything being on the same floor, and all rooms being visible from each other help keep my phobia at bay, but the opportunity to buy a house is presenting itself, and I don't know how I'm going to function in a multi level home when i have to spend time alone. Wife has family abroad and occasionally goes to visit, sometimes I don't have vacation time, so I stay behind. I have no idea how I'm going to be alone in a house, let alone sleep. Have any anons had to deal with a similar type of extreme fear? Even when I've tried to gaslight myself and just man up, this primal adrenaline rush builds up inside me, and my flight instinct takes over. In my childhood home, growing up, when I was alone over night, I'd barricade myself in the basement study with a connecting bathroom, and just wait for the morning. I can't keep living like this.

>>33996812Haunted houses are actually not filled with ghosts of dead humans, but with demonic spirits. You have authority over them and can command them to leave. If they're really stubborn, and you're really weak (lacking any experience or confidence with this, having lots of vice and wickedness in your heart) then you might be in for a long battle before the demonic spirits are finally gone.Believe in Jesus and invite him into your life. Start building a relationship with him. He will fix so many of your problems, and make you so much stronger and more resilient, and less stressed. You won't be scared of anything, anymore. Remember: even if people who think Christianity is all bunk can't deny that there are shittons of Christians who believed in full even as they were tortured and murdered, never renouncing their faith. Those people weren't just gullible or stupid--they'd experienced something so undeniable that there was no un-beliving it after that.Fear of darkness, fear of death, fear of pain and suffering, fear of ostracism or humiliation, fear of poverty, fear of other people... When you walk with Christ, these things will disappear. Confidence and security will fill you, leaving no more room for useless fears.
>>33996812Ya I used to be like this, had a haunted house that was in the family as a kid, and seen a lot of them growing up.Literally just strip naked and run around screaming and BTFOing the ghosts, they literally can't do shit to you man, they just try to fuck with you, sometimes because they're mad that you're alive and they're not.I'm talking fake a psychotic episode and try to out-crazy the ghost, literally just do the whackiest shit you can image to get the ghost to stfu, make fun of it, prank his ass, play loud music, act goofy.Talk mad shit and tell it to fuck off because its a loser, make fun of it for being a disembodied spirit, literally just dunk on that mother fucker.You can also get sage and salt and shit but I'd fr just strip naked and assert dominance.
>>33997152This is blatantly false, in fact most the people I've known who lived in haunted houses were Christian, they just engage in willfull ignorance to pretend that the problems aren't there, they aren't actually immune to anything, they're just more capable of deluding themselves Via Christianity into thinking the problem away, it's literal neurosis.Christianity itself is demonic, it turns you into a sacrifice like Berserk.
>>33996812i have at least some good news, anon. ghosts aren't real.i'm going to assume this, the correct answer, is not going to be enough for you so how about lights? keeping some sort of light source on you. there are small emergency flashlights that don't require batteries to function, there are tiny LED lights, stuff like that.
