I have lurked here for some time, and I know people here get torn apart for silly posts but I am honestly looking for answers. I have posted on other forums, but seem to meet a bunch of crazies. Anywho, here goes nothing.

My husband is an amazing man, but since I have met him we have had nothing but bad luck. And I do mean BAD. Now yes, it could be coincidence, but it seems to be more than that. We have had deaths, a family member staying with us violently murdered at random, two different homes inexplicably catch on fire (not even several inspectors could figure out what caused it. and yes they werent huge fires, but any fire is big enough as far as Im concerned!) and not too long ago my husband became an amputee. Not too long after he lost limbs on deployment an odd change came over our home. I thought it was us in mourning over his loss or just stress from the rehab. But then odd things started happening. Light switches flipping themselves on, these weird dark shadows flying across the room out of nowhere, christmas trees slamming to the ground, doors slamming so hard the house shakes, pitcutres falling, hell I am even getting scared just remembering it. Anyhow, all of this odd stuff kept happening, so we move. My husband stars becoming distant, I assume its ptsd. Then one night in his sleep he starts speaking in some bizarre mumbled language. The next day, the door slams, shadows, small fires, etc all begin again...

Skip to a few nonths later and my husband having these bizarre blackouts that the doctors attribute to ptsd. After a rough night sleeping I finally doze off. I wake to the feeling of pressure on my throat and this evil, deep hissing sound in my ear. I feel like someones choking me, so I fly out of bed and not a person in sight. My husband was fast asleep on the sofa. I didnt sleep for days after that. So next time I fall asleep I wake to this loud "lets go!" in this deep, evil voice again right in my ear. The next day my husband has the worst ptsd "attack" of sorts I have ever witnessed. We split. He moves in with his mother and I keep our "haunted" home.

Well hes been gone a few months now and my haunting has subsided. Everything is calm, the house feels peaceful, so we assume its just our relationship and decide to amicably divorce so I can keep my newly calm life intact..... That is until today when his mother called me nearly sobbing. My husband has had a rough week ptsd wise so she has let him be. She noticed a bizarre tense in her home that I told her must be because of his moods. Well anyhow, she started seeing the shadows I had never mentioned to anyone before, lights flicking on and off, her puppy dying for no known reason...and today she was so upset because she was woken up by "and evil hissing voice".

This sounds crazy I know, and I am a Christian so Im not a huge believer in the paranormal....but can a person be haunted? She said she had bizarre things happening his entire life, that he was a "handful" growing up, but assumed it was a case of bad luck and boys will be boys.

Please dont rake me over the coals. I am 35, educated and realize how insane this all sounds. I am just at a loss. It has been like living a horror movie for years. I would go to members of my church but they are incredibly conservative and I dont want anyone to think I am crazy. 

Your poor husband soon to be ex husband.. he is wounded.. ptsd.. been through a lot.. and has his limbs gone.. yet your divorcing him and his mother seems to be walking away to.. he needs support and love.. 

I suppose anything is possible if you believe in it.

There hasn't been any "documented" cases or scientific proof of hauntings, but that doesn't mean some people believe it to be very real.

Outside looking in it sounds all PTSD related, maybe something along the lines of his episodes are impacting others around him and this is a manifestation resulting as a coping or sympathy thing...but who the heck knows i'm guessing i'm no doctor. 

No one is walking away at all.

Donny, it started before he deployed and his mother had these bizarre happenings with him growing up. 

Thing is I assumed it was bad luck, then PTSD. But now that the pieces and a timeline fell into place, this has been happening to people around him his entire life. 

Wow, how sad and scary at the same time. I would seek spiritual help. I'm not very religious but I would try anything and everything. 

If you ignore the PTSD episodes it sounds like something out of paranormal activity. Scary.

But what Donny said makes sense. Maybe look into a family counseling? 

I want to, I just dont even know where to begin. Im such a skeptic myself that I can not even believe I am openly admitting that this is what I think the problem is. 

See we get along fine. So I blamed the happenings on "bad vibes and bad luck" assosciated with ptsd.

Its beyond counseling when an invisible force wakes me up choking me lol 

If your husband has ever dabbled in demonic things in the past that could be a reason. Ouji (sp?)boards, seances, fortune tellers, etc. If you are a Christian, you must believe in Satan and demons and all of that stuff. People can be possessed, or just be followed around by evil spirits. I am a conservative, non-denominational Christian, and I most definitely believe in demons. To me, it sounds as if he is in need of some sort of spiritual intervention.

BTW, your post is one of the scariest things I've ever read. 

I do believe in demons and thats why I am horrified. Even now, typing in bright daylight I am scared out of my mind and covered in goosebumps. 

Ghosts I am skeptical of though!

I agree. I don't believe the spirits of the dead walk the earth, but I do believe demons pose as them.

I feel dumb for suggesting it but an exorcism? I was raised catholic and some priests are still trained in exorcisms. If nothing else at least the priest would be someone that you can talk to.

Please do not feel dumb, I have been wondering the same thing. Thing is, my husband is calm, kind and loving except for the ptsd and always has been. Whats bizarre is whats been happening around him his entire life. Its almost like something evil is shadowing him. Thats real;y the best way I can explain it. 

Then do get in touch with a priest for an exorcism or maybe a medium or something. But be careful because there a lot of fake mediums and such out there trying to make money out of situations like yours. 

Is your husband a Christian OP? 

He is, and a good one. What scares me is on one of the forums I read about demonic attacks (once again I know this sounds insane) it says that they will try and "attach" themselves to strong christians.

I've never heard that, but I do know that children are a prime target, as are those who have been possessed before. If a person has ever been opened up to that kind of stuff in the past, then they are much more likely to be again. 

It sounds like he needs a proper spiritual cleaning. 

The posters on the forum said its something biblical about bringing down the righteous or something to that effect. Regardless, it did start when he was a child. His grandparents have passed, but his great grandmother is still alive and well in Germany. She used to spin tales of him cracking eggs and them all being blackish brown... I think we all finally believe her and are going to quietly contact her to see what else she may know.

I honest to goodness cant believe I am discussing this. lol

I know you might think I'm full of bologna but I believe one of their family members was cursed/witchcraft, and it is being passed onto your ex. My family went through the exact same thing. 

demons will attach themselves to the strong believers in god. you need to watch him and protect him as much as possible. put a cross by his bed at night and check on him through the night.

Holy water under the bed as well, without him knowing. 

Pulga, what did you do to rectify the situation? Is there any hope for him? 

do it in all rooms for everyone. 

I will. I am scared. Honest to goodness, scared.

I'm a over doer but....I'd be sprinkling it around him in the middle of the night when he's sleeping.

This is going to sound crazy but when I was a kid my Mom had a good friend who we went to church with everyone started noticing odd things like that when he was around. A few times while he would discuses anything biblical you would see a dark purple color go across his face (he was really really dark in the first place)and would start making angry mean faces but continue to talk like nothing was going on. The church had a prayer once and put him in the middle of it, never seen or heard of anything odd happening to him again. 

it is ok to be scared. that is a good sign of faith in god. in the end he will save you and your family from the evel
