Shadowy figure of a man keeps bothering me.

Hi everybody. I hope you're all doing good

When I was like 8 years old everytime my mother would switch off the lights I would see apparitions and strange creatures I've never seen before. The most terrifying of them all was this huge snake that would wrap itself around me everytime and I could feel its squeeze. My mother would rush in to turn off the lights and they would all disappear only for them to reappear once the light where turned off again. This all stopped when I killed the snake in a dream by impaling it with my leg while I was hiding under the bedsheets. Sounds crazy but yeah i impaled it and I never saw those things again but now they've returned even more malicious.

When I was 14 one shadow figure of a man wrapped me around in my blanket until I passed out. I woke up not believing what I saw until 2 years later when I was 16 we packed and moved to a new home. 3 months in everything was good until I woke up one night to another shadow figure whi was identical to my sisters dimensions just staring at me. I thought it was her and told her to go back to sleep. I blinked once and it was gone only to slap me multiple times. I felt the pain but no visible wounds were on my face. Turns out the original owner had this snake and red clothing he left behind. He was practicing black magic but stopped and left his belongings including the live snake our gardener killed.

We left the place a year later and we did not experience anything paranormal. My sister saw a shadow figure that looked like myself on the previous home we lived in as well as my mom who saw a figure of a man countless nights in that home. Nowits better here but I'm starting to see these things once more and I got attacked again by another shadow figure and I passed out. Next day I woke up frustrated with that happening again. Now I see the man watching me in the dark at night. He doesn't harm me but he just watches.

Has anyone ever dealt with this before I have some degree of occult knowledge but this is something I can't figure out exactly. Is this a demon or spirit haunting me. If so how may I protect myself? I have made charms but I feel they do not have enough energy to protect me from these things that keep attacking me.

Please help
