shadowpeople and the like

does anyone have a strong working knowledge with shadowpeople or other creatures that seem to feed off misfortune? my friend's dad has one attached to him that's feeding off his depression. she's dealt with shadow people before, but this one appears different. she was thinking of getting it to attach to her because she great with dispelling beings, but she's worry it's not a shadow person but something stronger. we're going to try and get rid of it on tuesday, does anyone have any advice?

Manifestations from ones own psyche. unattended aspects of the self.

thanks

If it is a shadow of the persons psyche, there are a few different things you can do. First of all I would try to figure out what part of that person has split off. If you look up Jung's Archetypes you will see what I mean.

I had this issue before due to past trauma that split part of my own personality off. When its that bad you usually know by the person showing signs of having multiple personalities. The only thing that helps is for them to come to terms with that part of themselves and whatever caused them to push it away. It can manifest as an entity that other people see, and can feed off others causing them harm such as depression, wild mood swings, aggression, and even self harming behaviors.

Shadows don't have souls and limited intelligence. They act like animals. I've written many things about them. Your friend should NEVER attach energy to her when she is uncertain of its nature. It is far easier to deal with a spiritual being/essence when it is separate from you. Attaching it to you is like letting a stranger into your home...no good!

It could be a shadow, it could be a servitor of someone else (such as in psychic vampirism), it could be a thoughtform he created semi-consciously (through dwelling on something), or if it shows high intellect, it could be a true spirit. Banishment will work for any one of these situations, followed up with protection. If simple banishment does NOT work, than you have yourself a stronger, trickier being.

ah. thanks. yea, while i've read about these things, i've never encountered a negative creature. her dad had an aciedent that left him without his legs and ever since he's been getting more and more depressed. i'm not sure how much help i could be, since i only have knowledge on mythical beings, no first hand experience except for spirits.

A shadow self would not go away from a banishment, considering it is created by the person and is a part of them. It would be a good way to rule out other things. White is right that it would get rid of most lesser entities. She is also right in the fact that your friend should not let it attach itself to her.

I would try the banishment and if it does not work seek help from a healer. An emotional/psychological healing can do wonders if it is a "shadow".

I don't know alot about them either but just this morning I was talking to myself in the mirror just thinking out load until I felt like something was watching me from the doorway so i quickly turned back and saw the silloette of a tall man he was a bit wide as well, it surprised me but I kept calm and inside I became aware of fear and a chill shock but I just ignored it like with alot of other things I see because I'm not sure how to go about the situation..... So do these beings mean harm?
I feel safe enough to go about my day and I also feel like I have an friendly spirit that follows me and sometimes when I think outloud I feel as if it is listening and sometimes I feel a hand on my back or left shoulder its usually on my left side... So yeah whats this about?

Try a blessing, I've seen and done a few with sage brush, it helps dispel with the smoke from it, best of luck ok

thanks, my friends father doesn't believe in magic, so we can't give him a charm, or blessing because he won't accept it. her family is strange, half her family are some type of naturalist or witch [she's an elementalist] and the others are more atheist. i'll be bringing all my books and herbs/incense, hopefully i can mix something up.

it's a really dumb idea on my part, i'm tempted to bring my ouija board, NOT TO TALK TO IT, but if Rori's coming along [since he's attached to me] he's pretty weak and i've started using the board to charge him, and if anything goes wrong and he gets attacked because apparently this thing has dispelled my friends two spirits and her shadowperson, so i'm a little worried if it attacks Rori because he's not strong to do more than stick next to me and maybe say a work or two. she won't let me though because she had a bad experience with them, and i don't want the shadowperson using it.

@ ravens101, it could be a shadowman, try the cleansing or banishment, but just ignore it and it will leave, it can't harm you physically, and only if you let it mentally/emotionally.
