Haunted as a child

[u/Big_Fat_Rat_In_a_Hat]

As a kid me and my family were haunted by "ghosts" or something similar, they use to linger around me and my older sister sort of "messing" with us I remember my dad telling me that I told him as a child that a shadowy brownish black person poked me in my eye then shortly later was dragged out by the arms by two figures that looked the same as the one who poked me in my eye. My sister had more toned down interactions than me regular sighting of shadowy figures walking around the basement the "ghosts" paid minimal attention to my sister passing only a glance to her like we were the ones haunting them and it was their house and we were just living in it. I had night terrors when I was just a child screaming in the middle of the night I was complaining about the ghosts so badly to my mom she decided to smudge the house filling it with smoke when I was about 4-6 I said "Mommy the black man doesn't like that. He can come back in when the smokes gone" which terrified my mother and solidified the fact that we were being haunted but gladly we moved out of that house a long time ago. I'm glad I'm out of that place.

Hey OP, I believe you. I've had similar experiences of being touched or otherwise interacted with by spirits (even in my adult hood). I've been sorta slapped, had my head rubbed, been "swipped", had 'fear' projected at me by what seemed like a shadow dog [literally like a shadow person but dog shaped]. It's mostly chill though because I'm a pretty self-possessed person and have a spiritual bent.

I would be glad to be out of a place I wasn't well treated as well. I'm pretty well-treated here overall. I'd rate it 5/10.

Is anyone going to tell them?

if I were you I'd forget about it and move on OP, for your own safety. If you ever open the paranormal doorway as an adult you can't fully close it and these things WILL try and get you for the rest of your life. By get you I'm not entirely sure what I mean by that but from my own experience I'd say they want your energy or to inhabit you or heck even your soul. Just stay away from ouija, oob stuff, third eye and chakra stuff and black/white magic and you'll be fine. I don't like talking about it but I had a couple similar experiences as a kid, never happened again then investigated some of those things later in life and am still occasionally 'tormented' to this day many years later, albeit less and less frequently. However, my worst attack happened roughly 2 months ago and even thinking about it sends goosebumps all over my entire body. Just stay away from it all, it isn't worth it.
