I've noticed some things personally about myself and my family since we've moved out of our house.
For context: We have moved into my in-laws' home because we plan on renting it from them since they are going to move down south later this year. We've outgrown our old house, and there's a lot of equity in it, so we've been prepping it for sale.
We've been living in the new home for a week now, and I've noticed that I have a lot less anger than I did living at the other place. My wife, who is agnostic, has even noticed it. It could be mostly due to the space, since an 1,100 sq. foot, two level home is very cramped for 5 people and pets. And I agree, that's part of it. BUT, whenever I go back to pack and clean, I don't feel alone in that house. I even get plagued with wicked, angry thoughts about my wife or other things when I'm there. Its 130 years old, so God knows what went on there, but I've become convinced there has been a malevolent presence the entire time we've been there.
I know I've also posted a few things about repeated unfortunate events that have occurred, as well as the strain in my relationship with my wife.
A few years ago, when my son was a baby and I was a newly baptized, I had three significant oppressive experiences where I fell into extreme rage and felt some sort of pressure along my left arm up to my face, as if something were forcing control over me. Each instance was relieved by prayer, immediately relieved, so that was an indication to me that something malevolent was there. At one point I heard a voice in my left ear complain when I prayed to St. Michael, another was a growling sound when I used prayer to combat sleep paralysis. I thought it had more to do with my own past and the turmoil I caused with whatever wicked spirits were attached to me due to my conversion. I haven't had these kinds of experiences since then, outside of the tingling feeling coupled with anger which I continue to combat with prayer. But the presence has never left, and the atmosphere of anger always lingered.
This atmosphere is absent in our new home. I've been a lot calmer, to the point that my wife has noticed, and she too has been a lot calmer. My son, who has extreme tantrums, has been less out of control and his night terrors have dropped off noticeably.
Maybe I'm looking into this too much, but I think it'll be a relief to be rid of this house. End blogpost.
