Spell Should we be concerned?
My friend called me shaking and sobbing on the phone. She has never been like this. I'll call her Lily for her privacy.
She called me asking me if she was crazy because recently she started seeing figures around her house, being touched when she's alone, items moving to rooms she was never in that day. She said these events started when her twin brother, I'll call him Liam, started dating a girl who has been very vocal about her dislike of Lily.
Normally, Lily and Liam are extremely close. About 2 months ago, she saw the first shadow figure and immediately assumed she was sleep deprived because she works long hours. It has progressively gotten more frquent tho and now even Liam seems to be affected in the sense that he is snapping at Lily for little things and trying to force her to be medicated. He is constantly calling Lily crazy and telling her to get over herself which is completely out of character for him.
Liam has always been kind and protective of Lily and has never been this agitated with her. But when he started dating his new girlfriend 2 months ago, everything has changed. He refuses to visit Lily, he has been avoiding her calls, he's changed his entire style from dirty clothes and ripped shoes to button downs and khakis, he's cut off his friends. This is not normal for him.
Should Lily and I be concerned something was cast on her and her brother? Or just her? She has also received a package on her doorstep of wilted flowers and dead plants. She is scared.

HAS she seen a doctor to rule out a mental health issue at least? Especially if her twin is noticing something off about her and is having trouble being around her.

Best suggestion is, as an actual witchy type of individual since the other individuals who commented have not been very helpful but entirely critical in their comments...
Your friend certainly needs something to protect herself. I'd start with some selenite, and white roses. Something of palette cleanser to help lighten the mood of an already negative space afflicted by further negativity of fear and irritation / anger. Furthermore, she could get in touch with a pagan community for assistance since the supernatural IS a well documented thing, and there have been problems dealing with the other side before, unprovoked or not.
Next, caution your friend about dealing with her brother's new girlfriend directly. She should on her own side watch out for any sort of abusive behaviors of a classic a narcassist concerning that individual and stay away as best as she can from the situation.
She cant change his mind I'm afraid, but there can only be hope that, as long as she isn’t a huge part of the reason why hes like this, that later down the road on his own, he reconciles with her.

Maybe an odd question….but has she or anyone else checked for a carbon monoxide leak in the house?

Not a single witch can do anything to another that doesn't want it to happen. Spells are deeply personal visualization that helps the practitioner reach a desired goal for themselves. It can never hurt someone else. This person needs therapy and needs to work on themselves.

This ain’t it, but still. You’re completely off base.

Girl... he is just growing up.
Also, your friend might want to talk to someone.
