When An Earthbound Soul Haunts Your Home

Earthbound souls are lingering spirits that have not yet crossed over. Their energy is often attached to their former home, or even to objects that they cherished. They can also be attached to a person.

They typically continue to dwell on the earth plane because they either cannot accept or do not understand that they have passed, or they have unfinished business here. They often harbor regret. Some of the typical reasons why a soul may remain attached to this world include:

• They have unfinished business, karmic debt, or have suffered an injustice.
• They are fearful of crossing over or worried about what may await them in the spirit realm.
• Their death was extremely painful or traumatic.
• They died suddenly or unexpectedly and do not realize they are no longer alive.
• They are intensly concerned for the well-being of their loved ones.

In my experience, it is sometimes living relatives who are causing spirits to remain attached to this world. Sometimes bereaved family members do not realize that their avoidance of dealing with the grieving process may be preventing their deceased loved one from crossing over.

If we are unable or unwilling to let a loved one go and release their soul to the spirit realm, they then choose to stay here with us. They are concerned for our well-being and until they are reassured that we will be okay without them, they will not muster the necessary will to fully depart this world and cross over to the Other Side.

Most earthbound spirits love to just ‘hang around’ and generally cause no harm. Sometimes they may make their presence known. Tell-tale signs that an earthbound soul is around you or that your home may be haunted include:

• The recurring feeling that someone or something is watching you.
• Weird sensations of being touched, especially in the back of your neck.
• Getting inexplicable goosebumps in certain areas of your home, or ‘shivers’ down your spine, or your hair on your arms or the back of your neck standing up.
• Experiencing strange dreams and nightmares you’ve never had before, and at night.
• Seeing peripheral movement or strange shadows from the corner of your eye.
• A chronic weird smell or odor of which you cannot find the origin or source.
• Weird, creepy sounds, mysterious noises, or whispering voices.
• Sudden temperature changes in the room without any explanation.
• Electronic devices, television sets and alarm systems mysteriously turning on and off.
• Missing objects found in unusual places in your home where they are not usually kept.

If you are a highly sensitive person or empath, you will definitely sense much more. Sometimes you can even feel what they are feeling. At times they express their anger, because they feel confused or are in denial about their current state. Some souls become earthbound due to a sudden or traumatic death.

Ideally, you want to cleanse that energy out…It will also help the trapped spirit to move on, enabling it to continue its journey through time and reincarnate. It’s a wonderful thing to do for everyone involved ~ James Pask

If a soul denies their own death, they will often carry on like nothing has happened to them. They tend to behave as if they are still living, going about their daily routine as if nothing has changed. Usually there is no malicious or malevolent intent; they are not out to hurt us. They are just wanting to understand what has happened to them?

If you feel that you may have an earthbound soul around you, talk to them and reassure them, They may just be disoriented or afraid to go towards the light and need help getting there. Just let them know that you are here to support them, and will help guide them to the other side.

Always surround yourself with love and light this will certainly give the transitioning soul the support that they need. They are just souls that need love so that they can move on. I have helped several earthbound souls transition to the other side, they always leave a footprint on my heart.

There are however some earthbound spirit attachments that can be dark and negative, even extremely evil, such as demons and poltergeists. These dark spirit entities can cause much negativity in your life, and upheaval and disruption in your home. In these cases, it is best to get professional spiritual assistance with house clearing and rescue mediumship.
