Even Space Clearing Expert Misses the Signs: How a Brand-New Object Brought a Spirit Attachment into Our Home
When Even Beautiful New Objects Carry Heavy Energy
A real-life space clearing case study with a mass-produced Book Nook
I hesitated before sharing this story.
Not because it isn’t important, but because it made me uncomfortable on a personal level. I’ve been a space clearing practitioner for over 15 years. I host a podcast dedicated to this work. I’ve written extensively about energetic imprints, spirit attachments, and objects that quietly influence our wellbeing.
And yet this still happened to me. 😮
What unfolded over Christmas reminded me of something deeply humbling and important: Even those of us who work professionally with energy can miss things, especially when we are tired, switched off, or simply wanting to be human for a while.
This story is about a brand-new object, ordered online, that brought unexpected consequences into our home. Not an antique. Not an inherited item. Not a spiritual tool.
A Book Nook.

What Is a Book Nook and Why I Loved the Idea
A Book Nook is a miniature diorama you place between books on a shelf. Think tiny houses, alleyways, libraries, magical scenes. You assemble them piece by piece. It’s meant to be decorative, playful, and creative.
I discovered them shortly before Christmas and immediately loved the idea. Quality time is one of my primary love languages, and I often initiate shared activities with my partner Jens. This felt perfect. Something cosy, creative, and slow to do together over the holidays.
The Book Nook arrived. It looked beautiful. Well-designed. Charming.
And that’s where the story becomes important.
The First Signs I Ignored despite knowing better as a space clearing expert:
As we started assembling it, Jens mentioned feeling unusually drained. His energy dropped quickly. He felt tired, heavy, and off.
I dismissed it.
I wish I could say I instantly tuned in, checked the object, and acted like the seasoned professional I am. I didn’t.
I was on holiday. I had deliberately switched off my intuitive faculties. I didn’t want to scan energy, read spirits, or “work” over Christmas. I wanted to rest.
So I rationalised it. Maybe he wasn’t enjoying the activity. Maybe he was tired. Maybe it was nothing.
The next day, Jens became violently ill. Vomiting. Weakness. Exhaustion. Classic symptoms of food poisoning or a stomach bug. He also felt dizzy and weak. Yet I had eaten the same food and was completely fine.
The illness passed within a day.
We resumed working on the Book Nook a day later.
The same thing happened again. Energy drain. Discomfort. A sense that something wasn’t right.
Still, I didn’t act.
This is where my embarrassment really sits. Not because I don’t know better, but because intuition can go offline when we are tired, emotionally disengaged, or convinced “this couldn’t possibly happen to me.”
The Moment Everything Changed
At one point, I left the room, frustrated and disappointed that this “quality time” activity wasn’t feeling nourishing at all. Jens stayed behind, continuing to work on it.
Then he came into the living room and handed me his phone.
On the screen was a long note he had typed. He asked me to read it.
As I read, my body went cold.
Jens had been in communication with a spirit attached to the Book Nook.
This matters because Jens has never channelled spirits before. He believes in my work. He supports it fully. But he has never actively engaged in spirit communication, nor shown any interest in doing so.
And yet here he was, having received direct messages.
The Spirit Behind the Object
The spirit communicated intense rage. Anger about exploitation. About working conditions. About mass consumption. About being forgotten.
The Book Nook had been mass-produced. We didn’t know exactly where. Like many online purchases, its origin wasn’t transparent. It later became clear it came from China. This is not a judgement about China itself. I have travelled extensively there and hold deep respect for its culture and people.
This story is about industrial conditions, not countries.
The spirit had died during the pandemic, from a lung-related illness. Jens’ physical symptoms mirrored those the spirit had experienced in life. Vomiting. Weakness. System shock. A cough he had developed.
The spirit admitted transferring symptoms to Jens to be noticed.
When I meditated and connected myself, I discovered something more. There was another spirit tied to the land long before the factory existed. A farmer whose ancestral land had been taken as the area urbanised. His home gone. His lineage erased.
Both spirits were furious. One at exploitation. One at displacement.
Children had worked in the factory. Teenagers. That grief, fear, and anger had become imprinted into the object.
Why This Matters for All of Us
This wasn’t about being “haunted” in a Hollywood sense. It was about energetic residue. Objects carry stories.
They carry the emotional, physical, and spiritual conditions under which they were created. This applies to:
• mass-produced decor
• furniture
• clothing
• toys
• spiritual tools
• inherited items
• antiques
Energy doesn’t disappear because something looks pretty.
And sensitive people feel this first.
Clearing, Healing, and What Changed
I helped both spirits cross over. I cleared the object thoroughly. I released the imprints of exploitation, grief, and rage from the materials.
After a week-long break, Jens returned to the Book Nook. No energy drain. No illness. No symptoms. The difference was unmistakable.
Why I’m Sharing This
Because this can happen to anyone.
Because new does not mean energetically neutral.
Because symptoms we dismiss as random can sometimes have deeper roots.
And because we need to talk more honestly about conscious consumption, energetic responsibility, and the hidden cost of convenience.
Frequently Asked Questions About Objects & Space Clearing
Can brand-new objects really carry negative energy?
Yes. Energy comes from process, intention, and environment, not age. Mass production, exploitation, grief, and trauma imprint energy into materials.
Do I need to get rid of affected objects?
Not always. Many objects can be cleared and stabilised. Some feel better removed. Your intuition matters.
Can objects make us physically sick?
Sensitive people may experience physical symptoms, emotional shifts, sleep disturbances, or mood changes linked to energetic imprints.
Is this the same as being “haunted”?
Usually not. Most objects carry residual energy, not active spirits. Both can be addressed through proper clearing.
What about inherited or secondhand items?
These often carry ancestral imprints, emotional residue, or unresolved attachments. They benefit greatly from clearing.
Can I clear objects myself?
Yes, with proper guidance. Which is why I teach this work.
