XTC, I am pretty much the same also. I am christian, but don't attend church, I have my own personal beliefs. If something is messing with you, that is a sign that it is definately not a good thing. I used to get upset and even tried swinging at a dark shadow that was rushing at me, but I found that a prayer said outloud gets rid of them pretty quick and much better than anything else I have tried. I even had one try to stop me from praying, and that is not a good sign at all. If anyone reads this and doesn't believe it, that's cool. I am not trying to convince anyone, just offering advice to those who have experienced aggressive paranormal activity and want it gone.
