Ghost or Demon?

Hey,
to start of with I am just copying a couple posts i have out on a different forum, so if it seems to be a bit over the place i apologise but it should still make sense! Also I have photos on the way, although they are not that exciting...

I have been very troubled and worried about some of the things i have been experiencing over the last year and a half ( i think thats when it started but I'm not entirely sure.)

It all started rather harmlessly and at first seemed rather interesting. To begin with the only strange thing i experienced was to do with lights. Lights always seemed to go out whenever i was near them, not just once or twice every now and again but every single day at least two or three lights would go out. They would be street lights whilst i was driving (but they would go out as soon as i went directly below them.) outdoor lights near the shopping center i work at, my car lights, numerous lights inside my house. And other people noticed it too, not just me. This lasted for probably a good 3-6 months. After that i had more trouble with lights. But it was sometimes the opposite, i would stand under a light that wasn't working, or hadn't been for days and it would start to work again. And once at a staff meeting i noticed the entire time we were sitting at the table the light closest to us was flickering the entire time, for a good hour maybe two. I pointed it out to the other people. all who all laughed and made jokes about my demon, which at the time i laughed along. Once the meeting was over and we had all walked away, about 5 meters away, i looked back and noticed the light was no longer flickering. I pointed this out to the other person still with me and neither of us laughed this time. I then drove that person home and yet again a street light went out.

About a month after i moved into my new place (living by myself for the first time), i had an action figure move from my display cabinet, down the corridor (about 5 meters) through a closed door onto the end of my bed. I was at work when it happened, and i always leave all my doors shut whenever i leave the house (slightly OCD). No one had a set of keys to my place, i didn't even have a spare for myself. And to make it even creepier, the action figure was of Michael Myers, for those of you who don't know. he is a cult figure from horror movies.


About 6-8 months ago i was at work, unfortunately by myself, the front door to my restaurant happened to open itself while i wasn't looking. The door was locked before this happened. I went out the front to see if anyone was around, they weren't and there was no wind to speak of. I went back into the restaurant and checked the toilets and storeroom to see if anyone had entered. Again they hadnt. I then went to shut the door, and found that it was still locked. So it had been opened all the way, without being unlocked with no one in sight Two days later i noticed a light near the front door in the ceiling was flickering, which it continued to do for a good month or two. Also around this time my TV at home began turning itself off and on. Whenever it turned itself off, i couldn't turn it back on, i sort of had to wait for it decide to turn itself back on. I recall one night when my cousin slept in my lounge room she woke me up freaked out at 5AM as the TV had made a strange noise and turned itself on!

Also at around this time i started finding strange toys left on my front door step, or in the back yard. One appeared on my front door step, whilst me, my sister and my dog were all in the lounge room (where my front door opens to) a toy bat appeared on the middle of my front door mat. Despite the fact none of us heard anything. And my dog would know if someone was at the front door. The creepiest thing i found would have had to be this doll's head (i think thats what it was) it was plastic, very old and dirty looking. But what made it creepy was it had no hair, or no face! It had ears on its side, and just like a hollow indent where the face should have been... I also noticed that some of these toys, which somehow went from the front yard to the backyard, would arrange themselves. Lining up perfectly next to each other etc.

I had a friend come over to my place, 3-4 months ago who had been told she was highly spiritual (is that the right term?) and she went through the house. Whenever she went into my spare bedroom her face completely changed, she was nearly in tears and looked like she was about to throw up. I decided to try and take a photo in the spare room of 'orbss' to see if anything would show up. (I had to do it as the others were all to scared to do so!) anyways, at the very instant i pressed the button to take a photo i heard i loud banging noise in the kitchen followed by screams. I ran out the room and into the kitchen to find everyone in one corner - the opposite corner to my display cabinet. And Guess who! That's right my Micheal Myers action figurine (the same one i found on my bed)had fallen off the display cabinet, at the very same instant i was trying to take a photo of whatever it was. Anyways a small while later, my friend then went back into the spare room and said whatever she had felt was no longer there. That it had moved into the computer room. When everyone left that night i poured a solid line of salt around the doorways to both the comp and spare rooms( an old wives tale ive heard that evil spirits cant cross a solid salt line). The next morning i woke, to find nothing unusual, to my great relief. i then went to work and had a normal day and came home. I then let my dog inside the house, she then went on to break to the salt line near the comp room with her tail. but i didn't think anything of it. Until about 5 minutes later i found some unexplained mud marks on the corner of my wall, directly opposite the comp room door. The mud is in such a place that if i was peeking around the corner peeking into the kitchen that's where my hand would have been. But i know it wasn't me, i don't get mud on my hands (again with the OCD.) Later that night i was watching TV, sitting on the lounge, not moving (had worked 13 hours that day) and the dog was in the laundry eating, when the next thing i knew, the neat tidy piles of coins i had lined up on the coffee table suddenly flew slightly upwards into the wall and scattered across the lounge room floor. the hour leading up to this event the temperature in the room had been fluctuating from hot to cold.

About three weeks ago, once again at work - with a colleague this time, i saw a shelf from under our front counter fly out onto the floor. Both me and the other staff member were about ten meters away and there was no one else in the store. The items that were on the shelf, were still on the shelf - on the floor.

Now over the last 5 weeks i have awoken three times to find strange, burn-like marks on my left hand/wrist area. And i haven not been able to come up with an explanation for them. And come the next morning they will be gone again.

Over the last 2-3 weeks i have been having increasing trouble to sleep, and have been hearing a voice. It is a male voice, and it sounds like it is trying to tell me something, but i can never understand what it says. To begin with i thought it was just from being overtired, and my mind playing tricks on me and i was just hearing things. Until yesterday at work, i heard the voice again. And i didn't say anything to the other person about it as i didn't want to sound crazy, however as soon as i heard it she turned around and asked me what i had said. And i know for a fact i didn't say anything at all. I then asked her to describe the voice and she pretty much described the same as i did. Whenever i hear the voice it sounds like it is coming from either right behind or besides me. And i can feel some sort of a presence,it feels as if someone is right next to me, basically touching. And i am begining to become very worried!

If anyone knows of any logical, or spiritual thing that could tie these events together, or explain them to make sense individually. Please let me know. I personally believe it could well be some sort of Demon, that wishes harm to me... If anyone has any idea what it could be, or how to make it stop, please let me know!

Also there are a couple of other things i forgot to mention in my original post last night...

such as the street sign. Not entirely sure how long ago this was, before my friend came over to my house though. I was walking the dog around my block. we had stopped to cross the road when i hear a grinding metal noise, both me and the dog looked over to where it was coming from. And i saw the street sign (to my street) turn about 60-70 degrees point at me and stop. it wasn't an overly windy day. That freaked me out a bit, and unfortunately to get home i had to walk right pass the sign, and as i did so i again heard the metal on metal noise as the sign began to follow me past it (turning in the opposite direction to which it had turned before) at this point i then ran home, and i don't do running as i have a busted up hip lol. Well the next day i decided to go back and have a closer look at the street sign, when i got there it was once again facing the same direction it always had. i watched it for a little while but it didn't move. So i went up to it, jumped and hit it pretty hard to see how far it would move. It basically didn't move at all. So i don't see how any small wind could have made it turn 60 odd degrees in one direction and then back in the opposite direction.

Also as far as the light i mentioned at work, there is a little bit more to the story that makes it a little bit interesting and strange. We have a man that changes all the lights in the ceiling for us, and this man is obsessed about lights, he always talks to us about light globes and stuff, and how much he enjoys working with lights. He owns his own business for changing light globes and has done so for the last 10 years. The light that was flickering for two months was on of his light globes. Anyways after the light was flickering for a couple months the light man came to change some of the lights and noticed the flickering light and asked how long it had been like that. When my boss told him about a month or two he couldn't believe it. He said that these types of lights shouldn't flicker ever, and he had never seen one do it for more than a few seconds before it went out. I know it doesn't sound like much but it makes it seem a bit stranger to me...

As for that burn i found on my arm yesterday, got up today and once again it was completely gone...

Does anyone think it is worthwhile maybe talking to a church or something about this stuff? I'm not christian and don't believe in God at all, but i have a friend whose dad is pretty high up in the church and knows people that have done exorcisms before...
