Signs of attachments or hitchhikers - taking care of our own

Many people have gone home with attachments from high level locations. Having something follow you home is one thing. Having an attachment is another. I want to address this issue here.. This is from someone who got an attachment from a bad location. read the symptoms below from his own words. The post applies directly to another group we help and assist. Focus on the signs of an attachment and realize how we need to take care of our own.

*********************************
I was aware only after I found myself sleepless that night. I was too tired to cleanse myself, and take a shower with sea salt. But after I woke up, my soul felt so weak and empty. I had to meditate and ground myself 4 times today and it still not enough to refill my life force. Now I had to re balance the energy in my room and home and clean out the negative bound spirit around me.

For the members that attended the location, I have something important to ask and to say.

1. I like to know if any of you actually had a good night sleep after attending the investigation?

2. When you attended the investigation and below did you happen to feel weak as though you had some weights on your shoulder, or perhaps you felt that some force is pulling you down? It doesn't have to be physical force, but just enough force to make it feel as though you had a change of weight.

3. Any of you feel completely drained of energy as though you haven't had enough sleep to replenish after the investigation?

Even if you are skeptic, please be sure to answer these question.

I don't want any of you to go through any problems in your life after this. You may not beware of the situation, but it does happen. We lose good members this way.

Normally it starts out with a passion of attending a ghost investigation. After investigating in areas like the high level location.

1. They'll end up sleeping late, or not getting enough sleep at all, and perhaps bad dreams.
2. They become weak and tired through the days.
Feel like you don't want to go to school, or go to work.
3. They'll feel as though they don't need to go anywhere.
Then they'll end up quiting the paranormal group.
4. They will tend to close themselves to everyone around them.
5. Negative thoughts and action will cloud their mind.
6. Later on, they began to lose focus of their own passion.
7. Then they will feel as though their life has no purpose.
8. They'll then try to restore that purpose with alcohol and drugs.
9. Perhaps at this stage, they'll quit school or loses their job.
10. This is not even the final stage.

To those that are skeptic, I don't expect you to believe me, but I want you to understand yourself how you are now and how you are then. If you are less than you were became a paranormal investigator, then I suggest you make sure to let someone know of whats happening to you.

For those that are beginning to have bad sleeping habit, restless nights, bad dreams. These are just the beginning of what will become of you. Be responsible and take notice, don't think it just stupid to tell how you feel. Don't be so ego about what you think, its not silly thing to tell. We're here to help, because we've been through these several times to understand.

Be aware, some of us might have some heavy attachment, and its not just one or two spirit. What ever lurks down there are not just earth bound spirit. I don't even consider them demonic, but I would have to say, they can suck your life force dried if you are too late.

Out team babysat public groups at this high level location. Over a third to half of the members who investigated at this location over a two month period had something attach or follow them home. This affected a lot of people.

The signs listed above are things I've seen happen to people with direct attachments. this is different than having a hitchhiker. In this situation, the entity is not just observing and maybe taking a little energy, it is drastically affecting your life and health. This is where you really need to get someones help immediately. Some people get ill after an attachment. Pneumonia or respiratory problems after breathing in something cold on an investigation is something I went through after I got my own attachment several years ago. I went through many of the signs above, not realizing it was a spirit based attachment. It was actually something trying to control me, my thoughts and my life.

We want all of our members to be safe. If this happens and you read the above post, if you see these things happening in you or someone else you know after an investigation, step in and let someone know. This is the real danger of investigating the paranormal.

If equipment fries, or camera's malfunction, they are just toys. When you health, both mental and physical are affected, it is your life. For those of you who have seen or heard my protection speech before and during some of out past investigations, this is what I'm trying to prevent. Attachments. Follow homes are not my main concern, your health and well being is my main concern. We all have agreed to be ghost hunters. We should all know the risks involved. I will not sugar coast that there are dangers in investigating the paranormal. There are. Attachments are one of the worst of these. People with attachments do change personality. The act bizarrely at times. It is not there fault.

This is why I like this group. We do things outside of investigations. We meet for dinner or to talk. We get to know the other members. This helps in the event that someone may get an attachment. It is easier for us to talk to you about this if you give yourself the opportunity to get to know us as people and friends. that is hard to do if we only met at investigation sites where we all took off separate ways into the darkness.

I don't like the groups who only meet on investigations that are mainly at cemeteries. None of the members get to meet the other members. they don't know each other. They meet in the dark, go in their separate little groups and clicks to investigate, meet back at the cars and leave. When one of their members gets an attachment, no one knows and no one cares. The member just leaves, drops out of the group and later they hear he had problems. A group takes care of it's own.

So every new member, this is why you need to come to a meeting before an investigation. I would actually like to make it mandatory that all new members have to come to a regular meeting before they can go on an investigation. This gives you the chance to know us as well as we can know you better. There are things I would like to tell every member about protection while on an investigation. It is ALWAYS the ones who say, "i don't need that stuff" who have the paranormal problems and attachments later on.

We are a group and we need to take care of our own. Other groups don't do this. They get big and break up overnight. I've seen over 10 of these groups go through the same cycles over the past two years easy. We are small group and growing slowly. We do not accept just anybody who applies. So if you are a member, you were chosen while others were not. We are having fun and learning about the paranormal together. We are taking care of our own. We will be around a long time and our members are not having the problems that some of the other groups are having. I'm proud of that fact. We should all be. You are all a part of a solid group. Let's go have fun and be safe while doing it.
