Wierdness in MY World

[BIAD]

Yes, ignoring them can work, if you can do it. Many of them are akin to "psychic vampires", and actually get energized
by being noticed, more so if they can generate fear in you to siphon of that emotional energy that generates...

When I was younger, I'd have snickered at such a comment, but after the 3 1/2 year episode with some renting noisy neighbours
living next to my house, I have learned that such 'people' are real.

By setting a false narrative that we had no reason to doubt, a single young mother and her boyfriend terrorised our homelife and
made me feel like there was no way out of the nightmare. I -personally, was disarmed and left in a state of constant dread that my
life was now akin to a guinea-pig in a cage.

They would watch us all the the time, deliberately play loud music -whether they were in the house or not and even request their
friends to visit us with accusations that were out of this world. I was accused of being a pervert and child-groomer, a weird old man
who video-recorded the small boy who belonged to the mother but not the boyfriend. The young woman approached me one day
and complained that wife -who has never swore in the forty years I've known her, had said terrible offensive things that nobody had
witnessed.

Everything was based on deceit, but since we'd naturally accepted that most folks are just like us and 'neighbourly', we just couldn't
understand what we'd done wrong for them to be so awful. Though we'd initially been accommodating to them, they had still decided
to set an agenda to have us sell up and move away merely for their enjoyment.
This, they actually told to another neighbour who used to give them money. It was a draining process and I felt helpless.

If I had gone around and beaten up the young man, he would be the victim and I would've only made the situation worse... that was
what I was forced to conclude. All because I'd accepted the original narrative.

But then someone who was dealing with a similar plight gave me some advice and after making one telephone call, the nightmare
that was based on a false presumption that they'd created from Day-One was gone a week-and-a-half later. All they did was suck the
goodness from our lives and left me -personally, constantly on guard that it may visit again.

Vampires -especially the psychic ones, are very real.
