Bad spirits in a house.

A woman called me to ask for help, claiming that malevolent spirits in her home were physically hurting her children, and terrorizing all of them at night. She told me that she had stood up to one particularly mean ghost, demanding that he leave the house:after she turned off the light and walked away, the light immediately came back on. As she turned oround, the window steamed up to show a nasty reply written there. This woman had called a Catholic priest for help, but he was unwilling to get involved.


I went with an assistant to her home. After successfully clearing out several spirits, we turned our attention to the "mean one" - a very angry ghost. We used gentle encouragement to convince him to tell us his story:


As a child, his parents had physically beat him almost every day of his life. Later, he became a hermit, persecuted by children who threw rocks at him and called him names. Adults, too were unkind and cruel. So he had never experienced a single day of love in his life. Then one day, walking to his home in the woods, he saw a little girl standing beside the creek, who held up her hand and greeted him in a simple, trusting way, full of love. However the child's innocent gesture caused all the man's pain and rage from a lifetime of abuse, to whirl up inside of him, so that in spite of himself he attacked and killed that little girl.


Now that he himself was dead, he was afraid to surrender to the Light, afraid that God would punish him and send him to Hell.


As we continued our session, the little girl appeared and held out her hand to him in forgiveness, saying, "It's time for you to come home". At first, the ghost was too ashamed to take her hand, but with more gentle encouragement from us, he finally did. At once, my mind "lit up" and I felt overwhelmed by the presence of an amazing, loving spirit.


Since then, nothing in my life experience has ever felt as good, as reassuring as that moment. Above all, it taught me that I have no right to judge another person, as I can never know the real story of his or her life.
