It starts as a prickle on the back of your neck. You are alone in your house. The doors are locked. The windows are shut. But you cannot shake the feeling: I am not alone.

Maybe you catch a movement out of the corner of your eye. Maybe you wake up at exactly 3:00 AM every night, feeling like someone is standing by your bed. Maybe your dog barks at an empty corner of the room.

You tell yourself you are just tired. You tell yourself it is just stress. You are afraid to tell anyone else because you don't want them to think you are "crazy."

As a Sangoma, I am here to tell you: You are not crazy. You are sensitive.

The human body is a spiritual antenna. Just as your skin feels heat before you touch a fire, your spirit feels a presence before you see it. The question is not if someone is watching you. The question is: Who is it?

Here are the 3 Spiritual Reasons for this sensation and how to stop it.

In the Image above: Shadowy figure in a doorway or person looking over shoulder: These images represent that unsettling sense of being watched, even when you know you are physically alone. Spiritually, this can be a sign that an unseen presence is standing at the edge of your space – in the doorway, behind you, or just outside your vision. It may show up as a dark silhouette, a shape in the corner of your eye, or the constant urge to look over your shoulder.

1. The Guardians (Your Ancestors)

Not all "watching" is bad. Sometimes, the presence feels heavy, but not scary. It feels like a stern grandparent watching you do your homework.

  • The Sign: You feel the presence during times of crisis or decision-making. The room might smell like tobacco, old perfume, or earth.

  • The Meaning: Your Ancestors (Amadlozi) are close. They are trying to get your attention. They are not haunting you; they are waiting for you to acknowledge them.

  • What to do: Light a white candle and say: "If you are my blood, come in peace. I see you." Usually, the heavy feeling will lift and become a warm comfort.

2. The Wanderers (Restless Spirits)

If you live in an old house, or near a place of trauma, you might be sensing a "stuck" spirit.

  • The Sign: The air feels cold. You feel drained or sad when you enter a specific room. Your electronics might flicker.

  • The Meaning: This spirit is not necessarily attacking you; it is just lost. It is using your energy like a battery to stay present.

  • What to do: You need to "Smudge" or cleanse the space to help them move on. They need an exit door.

3. The Monitoring Spirit (The "Evil Eye")

This is the one you need to worry about. In African Spirituality, we know that enemies can send a "Tikoloshe" or a "Shadow" to spy on you.

  • The Sign: The feeling is Intrusive. You feel naked, exposed, or violated. You might have nightmares of being chased. You feel anxious and jumpy, even in daylight.

  • The Meaning: Someone has sent a spirit to monitor your success, block your luck, or cause fights in your home. This is a spiritual attack.

How to Test Your Home (The Salt Test)

If you are unsure if it is just your nerves or a real entity, try this simple diagnostic tonight:

  1. Take a clear glass of water.

  2. Add two tablespoons of coarse sea salt. Do not stir it.

  3. Place it under your bed or in the corner where you feel the "eyes."

  4. Leave it for 24 hours.

The Result:

  • Clear Water: It is likely just stress or a benign energy.

  • Bubbles or Cloudiness: The salt has absorbed negative energy.

  • Green/Dark Tint: You have a serious spiritual intruder. Contact me immediately.

Immediate First Aid: How to Block the Gaze

If you are scared right now, do this to protect your peace until we can talk.

  • The Camphor Block: Buy a block of Camphor (Kamfer) and place it in a bowl of water under your bed. Spirits dislike the sharp smell and vibration of Camphor. It acts like a spiritual fence.

  • The Mirror Trick: If you have mirrors facing your bed, cover them tonight. Mirrors are portals. Sleeping in front of an open mirror leaves you exposed to the "Watcher."

  • The Command: Stand in the center of the room. Clap your hands loudly three times (to break the static air) and say firmly: "This is my house. Anything that is not of God or my Blood must leave now."

When to Seek Help

If the feeling persists, or if you start hearing voices, seeing shadows move, or finding scratches on your body, you need a professional Banishing Ritual. Do not try to fight a Monitoring Spirit alone; it can get aggressive.

Glass of water and salt under bed to detect negative spirits and ghosts.
Place a clear glass of water mixed with a pinch of salt under your bed at night to help detect and absorb any negative spirits or ghostly energies that may be present around you.

Testimonials: Sleeping Peacefully Again

"I thought I was losing my mind. I felt eyes on me constantly in my new flat. I couldn't sleep. Dr. Moyo told me exactly where the 'cold spot' was in my house without visiting. He sent me a cleansing kit. The first night I used it, the house felt silent for the first time. The watcher is gone." — Sarah, Cape Town ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I had the feeling of being watched, followed by bad luck at work. Dr. Moyo identified it as a 'Monitoring Spirit' sent by a jealous rival. We blocked it. The feeling stopped, and my luck returned." — Michael, London, UK ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
