I have read through your story and at first found it a little far fetched. Not because I don't believe what happened to you is real, because I do believe in the spirit world. But because if you are going into the ghost hunting field, you are going in it with a completely wrong attitude. Ghost hunters tend to get excited when they encounter a spirit. They don't get freaked out. I guess I wonder what you were expecting to find. If you didn't expect to find a spirit...why did you go there in the first place?

I believe your biggest mistake is that you are fearful of the spirits that you encountered. The spirits sense your fear or apprehension. Spirits can't hurt you. The best they can do is scare you. Your fear, the over cautiousness and anticipation of what might happen next will build up inside you and begin to cause you to be self-destructive. Self-destruction will hurt you.

If your lights are going on and off so what? It is a little odd, but that spirit certainly isn't causing any harm. Just trying to get your attention. Maybe trying to freak you out more. After all, it was you who disturbed their space first. For some of them it is a game.

What I suggest is next time you feel their presence, ask if there is anything you can help with. Talk to them as if they were real. Perhaps thank them for reminding you to pay the electric bill or that you hadn't eaten yet. "Excuse me please, I need that light on," might also work for your purposes.

I have gone so far as to ask for the spirit's name. If a name comes to me when I ask that question, the next time I feel the presence I call it by name. Don't be fearful that something is going to happen. Talk to it like you would your friend. You will be surprised at the calming affect that attitude has on the spirit world.

The last piece of advice I have for you is if you are truly afraid of spirits.....get another hobby.
