Have you ever felt any negative energy inside your home? Or do you feel that apart from your family members, there are some other invisible forces also living in your house? If your answer is ‘yes’, some signs can help you identify it. There are many signs mentioned in Vastu Shastra to recognize the presence of negative energy. First, let’s understand what these spirits actually are.
What are ghosts, spirits or spirits?
Any person who dies at a time when some of his desires remain unfulfilled—such as hunger, thirst, relief from illness, anger, lust, etc.—then he keeps wandering in this mortal world as a ghost. Additionally, it is also said that if a person dies prematurely—be it due to an accident, murder, or suicide—his soul also continues to wander in this world. Also, the souls of those for whom prescribed *Shraddha* rituals (rites performed for ancestors), *Tarpan* (water offerings), and other religious rituals are not performed, also wander in this mortal world in search of fulfillment of their desires.
How to recognize signs of the presence of ghosts, apparitions and spirits
Sometimes, some strange incidents happen inside the house which we often ignore. However, these events may be a sign of a demonic presence or some spiritual obstacle. Excessive discord and frequent fights among family members, as well as frequent interruptions in auspicious functions or celebrations are also signs of negative energy.
sudden appearance and disappearance of fragrance or odor
If a strange smell or aroma suddenly begins to waft through your home for no apparent reason—and then disappears just as suddenly—this is also a sign of negative energy. Family members falling ill frequently, money being spent as soon as it arrives, or the sudden death of creatures like lizards, pigeons or parrots inside the house—these can all be signs of some spiritual disturbance.
Fights and discord inside the house
Excessive discord and frequent fights between family members living in the house are considered a sign of spiritual disturbance. It is believed that the negative energy accumulated inside the house is the root cause of such ghostly interference. Particularly, if fights keep happening even over small matters, it is a sign of the presence of negative energy.
Bad events—including death
Money may come into the house, but it gets spent just as quickly; Due to which, despite having sufficient wealth, a person faces financial crisis. Money flowing away like water can also be a sign of negative energy. The sudden death of creatures like lizards, pigeons or parrots—or the finding of their dead bodies—within the walls of the house is another such sign. Moreover, if there are repeated deaths of animals inside the house, it is considered extremely inauspicious.
