A problem

So I haven’t meddled deep into the world of witchcraft. I just observe Samhain similarly to day of the dead, and use Beltane for meditation. Nothing else much.

But I keep getting the feeling that there’s a presence in my home that’s unwelcome. I constantly smell smoke. I hear footsteps at night, when no one is around. More recently, I’ve heard a dragging sound from outside my window. Almost a scraping. I just feel watched and like I’m in danger.

I haven’t messed with anything at all. I respect the other side and know not to fuck with it. Is there anything I can do to help this? Without digging too deep or doing anything dangerous? It may very well be paranoia, but I just want to be sure.
