Brother Saw A "ghost", might as well tell everyone Options

I'm not asking for advice as much as just bringing up a "ghost" sighting. So my brother calls me and says we have to talk because he knows I like occult things. So I meet him and he's really shaken and said that he was picking some clothes up from the hall upstairs in our parents house (where he lives) when he said that for about three seconds he clearly saw a "6-7 foot tall ghost with its legs wrapped in bandages stare at me before running away into the wall when I saw it". He said he couldn't see through it and it left extremely quickly after it had been "watching him" and saw him look up. He said he had been cleaning the room and listening to his iPod so he didn't hear anything. He has now refused to sleep upstairs in his room for a week and is only just starting to go back up there for clothes and stuff. He was so shaken when he told me I believed him, especially since he wouldn't go up there. And he's just not the lying type I wouldn't write here if I thought it might be fake at all. He kept going on about it making him feel terrified.

It's been a while and nothing else has happened so I just thought I would bring it up. Seems a little disturbing.

How old is he?

I would personally perform a few cleansing rituals. It helps if one uses a few objects as foci for the rituals, then leaves them spaced appropriately around the room. The reminder of the magic performed keeps it efficacious. It may not be necessary, if it was just a brief hallucination or the like, but it couldn't hurt.

I thought about it but am following a certain schedule with magic and haven't gotten to that point so I don't feel comfortable doing that quite yet. He's my little brother , 16.

I would recommend (by which I mean - this is what I would do) is to first cleanse your house and then that you place a shield around your home to protect from any unpleasant or malevolent beings. If he feels unsafe again, place a shield around him that on his command (give him a word or something) will attack and (if possible) destroy anything that is accosting him.

Ha alright in a few years when I'm good enough I'll come back to ask you how to do that

IMHO, the biggest "danger" you face from a ghost is getting scared by it. Or at least I've never heard of anyone actually getting hurt by a ghost, nor have I ever been hurt by one.

A young girl died in the house where I grew up. Last year I conducted an EVP session in the room where she died, and picked up a distinct voice of a child singing. Believe me, it was hard to continue to use that room as my bedroom after I heard that voice. But nothing negative has ever happened, and for that reason I don't expect anything to happen.

I think ghosts are radically different from spirits. I suspect they're much more self-contained, much less likely to "get inside your skin" than a spirit (which might be internal to begin with).

A crazy lady who burned down houses lived in my room in my family's summer home. We did an EVP and got crying the whole time... which was creepy.... in any event, I basically said "you're dead, I live here now, so step off or there will be trouble." She stepped off. However, my other cousin got horrifying night terrors from her. Ghosts can do bad stuff if they want, it's just a matter (IMHO) of whether you let them. Which is the case with most beings.

Ghosts... ghosts get inside your skin more easily than demons (their spirits match our bodies more closely) - I've channeled one before and trust me, they'll do it if they get the chance.
