I grew up in Western Australia, in a little suburb called Darlington, where I have had a number of strange happenings that have followed me about, but seem to be more intense at the Darlington house. These happenings have included knockings, temperature drops, strange smells, scratchy voices, things disappearing then reappearing, bright lights following from a distance and up-close, lost time, and many other weird and wonderful things. I am 24 years of age and some of these strange happenings are quite enjoyable, however, a few years ago I did get quite upset about some of the strange happenings around me. I was wondering if you would be able to give me some answers to these strange happenings.

You are the first from "the land down under." With the assistance of "our friends," it is easy for us to scrutinize your strange happenings and provide you the answers. We do not have to be there to do this ... all we need is an in-depth account of what has been happening to you. If an entity or a number of entities are involved, we have the ability to request their presence (at our location) so we may question them about the reason for their actions. If you wish and if the entities are releaseable, we can release them and free your house of these entities.

Sorry about the delay in replying but have been busy over here! The Darlington place, from what I'm told, used to be a vineyard and my grandmother purchased the property before WWII, and after the war she sold it to my father who built a house on it in the 70's. I have always had a love/hate relationship with the place.
During my early years, strange things started happening to me at and in the Darlington house and village and surrounding bushland. I used to get very depressed and lament to my mother that, "I did not want to be here because the world was a terrible place and could not be saved." Growing up, my sister used to have seances which I watched. These seances never worried me until I tried on my own, in the mid 80's, with a friend. It was in the middle of the day when we did this and the bottle started to wobble. We ran and waited on the road until my mother came home.
In 1993, I tried another with two friends, using a "ouija board" device, and the letters spelled zxcbs6, and we got the feeling that this was bad. We tried to banish whatever or whoever we were communicating with and it spelled the word "NEVER". I called on the guardians of the West, South, East and North, and finally got rid of it. About a month later, I was walking, late at night, to my girlfriend's house, I felt and thought I saw a black shape moving toward me. I got the shivers up my spine and broke into a run and diving into the window of my girlfriend's room. We were talking when a knocking sound started at the window, then went to the wall and continued around walls of the room and continued for about 45 minutes. The next day, the wind chimes we had hanging in the trees outside were scattered and some were found hanging in other locations. My girlfriend had a ball of string fly across the room and hit her in the head. At first, she thought it was me, then she said she saw a young girl that we knew, in the house, but after looking around, she found no one and the house was locked. A month later, my girlfriend and I were at my house and again the knockings with scratchings started with a vengence. Water began dripping from the ceiling, and a marble beer glass fell from the ceiling . I got so scared I shot holes in the ceiling, then called the police. Around 6am in the morning the noises stopped and this is when I realized that "my fear was feeding it".
Two later, I was living in the city, in an apartment with a friend. One this night, it was around 11pm when I was confronted by a bright light over my old house. I thought it was an electrical storm but than, a huge ball of light rose into the air and came down towards me at great speed. It followed me as I ran to my car all the way back to my apartment. In my apartment, the bangings, scratchings, foul smells started. A large potbelly stove heats the apartment where you could wear shorts but in my room, it was freezing. One night, a friend who shares the flat with me, woke up scared out of his mind, saying something woke him up by punching and trying to strangle him. He was always a "non believer" and used to tease me.
I have since moved back and forth to and from Darlington, and the happenings seem to be stronger in Darlington. There is the Witch's Quarry, in the Darlington area, with practicing witches with whom I have no problems with, as they are mostly nice. I have alot of passion for Darlington and I can feel good things and bad things full of hate. There are alot of experiences I have not spoken of because at this moment, I am pressed for time, but I will write them down for later. The reason for this rushed and messy letter is because I have been awakened by images of some black shape in my room and I am unable to move or scream. I am scared but the prospect of experiencing these strange happenings fills me with excitement and fear. Hope you will be able to offer some advice or help.

You spent some time relating your accounts and they make for wonderful reading. From your accounts it seems that whatever or whomever supernatural were after you in a bad way. In reality, that is not the case because just like everything else in life, lack of communications as in your accounts, between you and the entities following you. Here's what we (Otherplane) and with the assistance of "our friends" found concerning your strange happenings.
There are four entities, three female and one male, and they are a family (father, mother and two daughters). They died somewhere in Australia other than in the Darlington area, around the same time frame. They are past relatives of yours, unknown to all of you. They are only trying to contact you and mean you no harm. They want you and your family to be aware that they are past relatives and want acceptance and recognition.
Now that we have told you who they are, it is up to you to do what you know deep inside that you must do. When you feel that the time is right and you are not afraid or stressed about what you are about to do, just talk to them in a tactful manner, showing respect for them and let them know how you feel about their presence around you. After you have accomplished this and you feel that it is past due for their release, let us know and we will release them.
