What is this entity?

I wouldn't recommend using a Ouija board, but definitely use something to cleanse your house. If that doesn't seem to work maybe you can get a religious figure over to your house, if that's the path you want to take.

Use solar protections--solar crosses, sunstones, etc. Even the Saint Benedict's Cross amulet is a solar cross, not a crucifix. If it is associated with the sun strongly, use it. Entities like Archangel Michael, Horus, Apollo, etc. can be incorporated into evocations. Hmmm, or if you prefer the "kill it with fire" approach, you can work the Keys and evoke Duke Bune or Duke Flauros. It really all depends on your style.

It's a lower world being. It seems like what most here call a spirit of the dead. If it is following your bloodline, your own children will also be haunted by it. This could be a restless ancestor aka a deceased family member. Any sudden or tragic deaths within or before your mother's time? Anyone particularly nasty individuals in your family tree?

If you can track down who exactly it was, you may be able to figure out how to give it freedom so it can move on. It's likely bound to the bloodline due to it's physical ties. So banishment won't work. Protection will only work while they are up. But what about your children's children? Let it end with you. Make sure you aren't just defending against it harassing you, but showing it the door permanently. This is what happens when rotten souls die. Bad pun intended ;)

P.S. - It could also potentially be someone your family was involved in, around, or before their death. For instance, this occurred to a family member of mine when an ex boyfriend committed suicide shortly after her marriage to another man. Oh yeah! Messed up right?!

A vengeful shade would find you as an indirect way to hurt whoever he is angry with if you have a close bond with them (daughter, grandaughter, niece, etc.)

I forgot to add that my mom & I live in different houses. I have a feeling it's a generational thing.

Thanks for this reply & suggestions. I felt that it was a blood line thing, but you pretty much confirmed all of my suspicions.

I want to try to contact it & see if it is a family member, but then I think, what good would it have to say if all it wants to do is mess with me & my mom? :/

I'll definitely take some of these things in consideration.

While others saying who/what entity is.while i was reading this i felt Death in the wind.i can only say that maybe this entity is like a Death Creature to haunt a specific family that made the spirit angry for a reason.I think you must ask all family members who live in a home that wasnt build by them.you can make the spirit angry if you do something on their personal stuff such as their land.maybe if you try apologizing the spirit.but first you need to find what made the spirit angry at youre family.thats all i can tell you.

Just to be safe id do a FULL top to bottom cleaning of your house, than sage every room, every door, every window. Than take salt and sprinkle it around the perimeter of your house for extra caution. Good luck.

What you are dealing with is known as a wraith. Very powerful creatures. If seen one before. Get a sage stick and light it. Go around the inside of your house in clockwise motion fanning the smoke onto the walls with a feather. Name it as a wraith, for to battle a wraith you must know bits a wraith. Command it in a forceful and commanding tone saying, " Wraith, I command you in the name of ( insert your gods name here) to leave this house and property for it is my residence and you are intruding without permission. You are not welcome here. I command you to begone and return from whence you came. Wraith begone and never return." When you get done with this go around the outside of your home, also clockwise, with a lot of salt. Form a ring of salt around your home. This will protect you and your home from any unwanted"visitors". Good luck my friend. They are powerful so BE CAREFUL.

I doubt it's a wraith or whatever, I've never heard of that before.

Besides, this post is about two months old.

I've seen these before, they are "demons" posing as a dead person. My mother encountered a number of them when she tried to join her current church, they appeared and warned her not to be baptized. If you are a Christian (as you said), just command the entity to leave in the name of Jesus Christ and it will be compelled to leave, by your faith.
