Hi everyone, again!
Well, here's the thing...something that happened at my friend's house has been really bothering me.
I was at her house, let's call her Ellie, and I'm also kind of friends with her sister, let's call her Anne.
Anne told me she was psychic, and I believed her, as they are my friends and she knew things she had no way of knowing and we had some weird experiences.
But the next time I went to her house, they showed me these woods behind their church, and told me they were haunted. It's a long story, but basically Anne told me she was possessed. As I'm a fairly gullible person, I believed her. This was basically my first experience with anything like that, and I had no idea what to do, so I was terrified.
After probably the scariest evening of my life so far, they talked privately for a while and then told me that they had made it up to try to get me over my fear of ghosts and things. Um...so embarassing!
Okay, I understood the gesture but I was totally upset...but even now I'm having a hard time believing it because they were so convincing...now all I can think about is how good of an actor Anne must be, and I'm wondering what to believe. Sometimes I wonder if Anne just said it was fake so I wouldn't freak out.
Argh! They're still my good friends, but I don't know what to make of it! Any ideas?
Sorry for the length, thanks for bearing with me =)

PS. I am new, and I'm not very good at psychic stuff- I'm really not trying to take advantage of you guys without giving much back so please tell me if it seems that way!

Emily hunni, nobody thinks you are taking advantage, you are relaying an experience you have had and asking what people think, thats what this forum is all about, share and share alike

Right in regards to your experiences, I think they were just trying to do a good deed, but not realising the implications of telling you something and then telling you they were lying to help you. This has caused you to doubt the validity of a lot of things they say.
We have had many discusions in this forum over possession (type possessed in to the serach at the top and it will bring up all articles that mention it, I think Villani has a thread open about it, it might be worth a look) possession is something that is hyped up by hollywood, I also think it can seem like someone is possessed due to so much negative energy radiating off the person, like a manifestation of negativity that takes over the person.

Perhaps talk to your friends and let the know how you feel, and perhaps look at it as a lesson, that not to take everything at face value. One thing I have learnt from being at SB is that everything is a lesson of somesort.

Nathope is right.

Maybe they had good intentions but it was still a rather nasty thing to do to someone they call a "friend". Fear is funny to some people and many have more fears than some. If you were raised in a home that had a lot of things to fear, it is something you grow up with knowing. Just as some people grow up with knowing abuse or love.

While it can be a lesson for you not to believe everything you hear (even if it is from a "friend"). I hope now you understand that just because someone says it, does not mean it is your truth. Research, learn, read, ask others.
Fear is based on not knowing. So when you break it down, you will see there is nothing to fear.

I've been psychic and a medium since I was a very small girl. I have still never run into anyone possessed. I have met people who had an "attachment" but that is for another story. Even with an "attachment", the person knows what they are doing, they are aware of their actions, they simply choose to listen to the negative attachment who is telling them to do bad things and thus, this can look like they are possessed.

Hope that helps.

Hi Emily. Well I def agree with Nat and Pagan. But regardless of their intentions, that was a pretty nasty thing to do. Life is about learning and like Pagan said, maybe the lesson for you was to not believe everything you are told and hopefully, their lesson is to never scare anyone like that again

My understanding of possessions and the like is that you have to openly allow it to happen or rather invite it in. And even then, I don't think the result is Hollywood style. It is comforting to hear that there are people like Pagan who have done this their entire life and they can tell you honestly, that they have never seen anything like what your friends showed you.

What I have learned here is that there is good and bad in everything. There are good and bad people, there are good and bad spirits. You wouldn't want to allow a bad person in your life and so you wouldn't allow a negative energy into your life. You set those boundaries. .

Hello,

Sorry your 'friends' treated you like this, even if they had good intensions, they went around it the wrong way. They obviouly don't undertand about the other side etc. They must fear it themselves.

I don't believe being possessed comes along very often, it's like these films you see.

When your next see your friends I would imagine yourself in a bright white bubble. This will stop any negative energies or thoughts harming you, and will bounce off you.

Love and Light x

Thanks everyone, you guys are very nice! I agree, that it doesn't happen often.
I'm definitely going to talk to them about it. But hey, at least I'm not afraid anymore.
=)

Glad to hear your not afraid anymore. Good luck with having a chat to your friends.

Love and Light
