Setting boundaries is hard enough to do as an adult, but it’s a whole different ballgame when your uninvited guest doesn’t even have a pulse.
The other night, TikToker Lydia (@psychicishpodcast) was woken up at 4 a.m. by a ghost. The paranormal activity had been going on for a few weeks, and it began in the bathroom. Every time she was using the bathroom, she would see a shadowy figure out of the corner of her eye.
Over the past few days, she started feeling a hand on her hip or lower back. At night, there were times when she could feel the bed shift as if someone was sitting down on it. She was also woken up by strange sounds in the middle of the night.
“I declared to the room that whoever was here, I felt like they were here to protect me, so I just said, whoever is here, you’re welcome to come in and protect me,” said Lydia.
“Thank you for protecting me, but I don’t want to see you, and I don’t want to hear you, and I don’t want you to touch me. Those are my boundaries.”
Then, most recently, she was woken up in the middle of the night for seemingly no reason. She was lying in bed with her eyes closed, about to get up and use the bathroom, when she heard the bedroom door open.
She looked over and saw the bedroom door open slowly until it reached about halfway.
She started falling asleep again, and as she was falling asleep, she saw a blonde man in her mind’s eye. He was about her age and was lying on the concrete. There was blood streaked on his face.
After that image, she dozed off and ended up seeing the silhouette of that same man standing outside the front door of her home. She asked the spirit why he was there, and he told her that she was unprotected.

In the comments section, several TikTok users who’ve had otherworldly experiences chimed in with their thoughts.
“Bathrooms normally hold the most negative energy. You probably have a portal open in your home. Happens when you channel,” commented one user.
“I literally tell them to let me sleep and talk to me later. It always works. Set boundaries,” wrote another.
“I believe you. In my house, between 4 and 5:30 a.m. is when the most activity happens,” added a third.
“What does the person want, though? What are they after? Have you asked them? Just a thought,” someone else chimed in.
What would you do if a ghost woke you up in the middle of the night? Do you believe you can actually set house rules with a haunting, or is talking to the shadows just an invitation for more trouble?
