Dijah in a jar

This is one of those personal and controversial posts that I had to think about for awhile. But, here it is. Lissa has this imaginary friend named Dijah. For months I've been dealing with this nasty little whippet of a so called spirit who tells Lis to do really bad things and hurts her. I've spent weeks researching imaginary friends and sometimes they aren't always imagination. They can be many things, not all of them good.
*
I've seen no evidence that Dijah is real, but, she is dramatic. Facts about Dijah, according to Alissa..Dijah is old, Dijah is half fox and half demon, but, looks like a little girl only she has spikes in her head. Dijah is "in my head, but, she can come out at night and hurt you." "Dijah is my master, Dijah controls me." "Dijah takes her orders from the Queen of the Half Order Fox's and that is her master."
*
Dijah is also very violent and destructive as well as insulting. Dijah thinks I am "uninspiring" and "common." Yeah, I know, I thought that was way weird too. Dijah asks me religious questions in a mocking way. "Is that the way god made you, Pat?" Smirk smirk.
*
After many questions and much research, I decided Dijah can kiss my ass. I relegated Dijah to a pickle jar and put a whoop ass binding spell on her. Lissa cried and begged and badgered, but, I said no. Dijah is staying in the jar. Who needs a friend like that? Lis came over last night and asked again if I'd please give Dijah back to her and I said "You can have Dijah or you can make cupcakes all by yourself." She decided on the cupcakes and Dijah remains inactive.
*
All I know is Dijah is gone and Lissa seems much happier, so I think we're good here. Maybe I can sell Dijah on eBay.

I was gonna say give Di to your Mom but then Lis will see her/it again.

I believe it. My oldest had an imaginary friend named Goonga. That was when she was 3-4yrs old.

Okay..so wrap Ms Di in bubble wrap and mail her to someone who really deserves her..Who could you send her to???
hehe

Did anyone else watch 20/20 last Friday night? These little kids had violent imaginary friends too, but on a way scary level. One was telling her to hurt her baby brother (she was 6) the parents had to rent 2 apartments to keep her away from him. It was frightening the things these little people were saying.....

I don't like this post, because it upsets me to think a spirit like that would attach itself to Lis. I'm glad you were able to take care of the situation, Pat. Imagine those out there who wouldn't know what to do? Scary.

Heidi said...

I am sorry. I did not want to make light of it. It is scary and that is what I do. Coping mechanism.

Seriously though. What are you going to do with the jar?
I would be afraid someone would open it and then you would have an extra pissed off sprite.

Make sure you put it up where Lis cant get to it. Just in case it has a way to summon her to open the jar.

I saw no evidence of anything paranormal. I was worried about her mental health. But, clearly you can't cure a genuine illness with a pickle jar, so there ya go. Not everything around my house is paranormal..but, it's the shits figuring it out.

Dish, you should go to the 20/20 website i think they have the full episodes. It is weird that you mentioned this right after I saw that. These kids really saw what nobody else was able to, and you can feel their fear and frustration that nobody else can see the things they see it is kind of hard to watch...snowbunnie

How did you put it in a jar? I ask because when my niece was visiting she was staying in the second bedroom and told me the next morning that a little boy came to her and was crying blood tears. I told her it was just a bad dream and I think she bought it because he didn't come visit her again while she was with me. Of course, after she left, I kept hearing moaning noises (very subtle) coming from the closet and I'm concerned he's back. I just want this little person to leave or behave while he's sticking around. Maybe if I could coax him into leaving or stuff him in a jar that would be the end of it.

I'm glad Lis isn't influenced by their negative energy anymore but what are you going to do with the jar now?

Christina said...

That is really creepy. It makes me sad that Lissa is experiencing this. Can you bury the jar? Or maybe cram it in the garbage with your mom's stuff (in your garbage can)?

Dirty Disher said...

Rooster, I don't believe it's possible to put a ghost in a jar. You can restrict them from a certain area in some cases.

I need a post on this, I think.

Wow! this is interesting. I think Dijah still looks better than Carla Bruni-Sarkozy does. What a shame for a woman to go and freeze her face like that!.

What about mood swings Pat?, are you all having mood swings since Dijah's first mention?. More than the usual I mean (ha,ha)

I saw the 20/20 episode. I believe those kids were diagnosed with Schizophrenia. So sad and incredibly stressful for the entire family. My daughter has a little friend named "Frank" who lives in her backpack and her pocket. Sometimes Frank is a rabbit sometimes he is a frog.
Glad you got rid of Dijah - Lis is better off without that one around!

DD, send the little creature in her jar to Kate Gosselin. Who is she to say no to a gift?, as she often told us. She'll take anything that is free. Maybe some good home truths will help the wicked one.

I like Heidi's idea. Email me and I'll send you the address of my ex husband.

Whatever it is...I'm glad it's gone. Lis is very, very lucky to have you in her life.

Bayou Jane said...

DD...shouldn't Lissa's mom be having he baby soon?

I think "Mom in a Bottle" is a good idea. Sounds a little grusome though!!!

Solution for the garbage can --- spray paint your name on the thing.
And a skull and cross bones might help her get the idea!

escrow said...

Could this possibly have anything to do with her Chiari?

Kiki = ) said...

Enrique lol behave yourself now now poor Carla
she doesn't know that she's already beautiful
just the way she is. Too bad she feels the need
to freeze the expression and life off of her
visage. I despise Botox et al. If you have a
pretty face just take care of your skin & you
will be just fine. Less is more too bad prisicilla
Presley did not listen to this she was a beauty
now she looks like Jack nicholson as the joker in
the batman movie !!! Poor prisicilla ;( ! Kiki :)

Barb in va. lol so true and soooooo funny what
a greeeeeeeeeeedy guts she is ?!!!!!!!? Yuk ! :/ kiki

valle said...

yeah, the kids on 20/20 were schizophrenic. my neighbor is that way too so I pay attention to stuff about that disorder. those kids were definitely scary.

A-Gran said...

That was a scary story. Is Lissa's vocabulary that advanced normally? Those are pretty advanced comments and questions coming from a little girl. How old is she again?

SharnaPax said...

Interesting. Is there anyway possible she might be misinterpreting "Dijah" for "Dybbuk"?

This reminded me of the movie "Drop Dead Fred" about a child's naughty imaginary friend who was banned to a box by her mother and freed decades later. Not horror, by the way.

Anonymous said...

My daughter had an imaginary friend too-a "tall mouse" named Ike. He was pretty laid back and liked to watch TV and play card games.

Wish I knew what the real deal was with these manisfestatations. All I do know is that Lissa very very lucky to have such a wise woman to protect her and guide her.

casey J. said...

wow, I thought she was over this Dijah thing. I didn't realize how far it has gone. I knew something was up when she told me Dijah was making her throw away her favorite stuffed animal though and when she actualy threw it in the trash can, I was like, WTF is going on.

KaiTroll said...

My grandmom has a lot of imaginary friends. She also has an imaginary life.

Dirty Disher said...

Lis is five, yeah, she says the strangest things.

A-Gran said...

Lissa is five. Unless she's the most precocious five year old ever there is no way she came up with those words and that sarcasm on her own. Somebody has fed those things to her. Her mom? The new step dad? But your relationship with them is good, right? Your mother-thing doesn't seem clever enough to call you 'common.'
She's been listening to someone. Someone with an above-average grasp of the English language. (Notice that you're not referred to as a 'bitch' or any other words most people would use to describe a woman. No, you're described as 'common.' A very odd choice of words and one that really sticks out in my head).
I'm glad Dijah is in a jar.

Kylie's Mom said...

Ever read "Thus I Refute Beelzy"? If anyone would be able to recognize if this was paranormal or not, it would be you, DD...and of course I'm not disputing that...I completely respect that, absolutely. This post just gave me goosebumps, is all.

I read Mr. Beelzy as a kid, forced to by a teacher, and I always swore I would never, ever crack that book again. Couldn't help but look that story up online just now...

Frimmy said...

Yeah the "uninspiring" and "common" comment really chilled me.

I'm glad she has you and that you're so tuned in.

A-Gran said...

Kylie's mom, I had to google that story and read it. I didn't find it scary but I'm a 40 y/o woman. Can't imagine why anyone would make a young kid read that? What was her reasoning?

Kylie's Mom said...

LOL...I'm 38 and it still freaks me out. I remember that I was 10 and the teacher told me that Mr. Beelzy was short for Beelzebub which meant "Lord of the Flies". We weren't actually going to read "Lord of the Flies" at that point...so I'm not sure what the reasoning was.

A-Gran said...

That teacher sounds like a sadist. That doesn't even tie in with Lord of the Flies. What a weirdo.

Speaking of weird teachers, my 4th grade teacher told us all that if your antenna on the TV was set up "just so" that people could see into your house through their TVs. I seriously could not get undressed in front of a TV until I was in my mid 20s. Teachers can do some weird shit to your head.
