My parents have just moved into a house that's been in the family for centuries. It's a lovely big place, and some areas of it are really happy, but there are other places that just seem, well, unsettling. And not just to anyone whose 'sensitive'... also to very rational scientific guests.
In particular, the room which my Great Uncle used to live in is awful. He wasn't a very happy man and towards the end of his life he became pretty twisted. Nobody really wants to go into this room, and in fact nobody will even stand in front of the door!
Now my Mum has come up with the bright idea that she'll decorate it as my room. Obviously, not visiting my parents isn't an option, but I've agreed to spend the weekend there soon and I'd like it to not be an ordeal.
Anyone got any ideas? I was planning to try some smudging, but would be more than welcome to hear other's knowledge on this subject. I know that most religions have techniques for settling uneasy spirits.
