My wife and I moved into our house in 1999. We rented the house next door, and when this house went up for sale, we bought it. We were newly married and still had that glow about us. But things changed when we moved into this house. My stepson and I began to have problems, and my wife and I began fighting constantly. It was strange and unusual behavior for us.

Things began to happen around the house that were unexplainable. A bathroom door in the basement would open and shut. It was a poorly built bathroom, and the door was made of length-long boards and had a half moon cut into it. The hinges had rusty springs that squeaked when used. With all of us upstars, we would hear the door squeak as it opened and closed.

Andy began complaining about uncomfortable feelings in his room. I would catch "movement" out of my peripheril vision, and feel like I was being watched. One day our bedroom door slowly opened, I thought I saw someone looking in, and then it closed. Andy was with a friend that night.
My wife and I continued the sniping and fighting. One day, while talking to a neighbor, we were told the owner from whom the couple we bought the house from committed suicide in our house. This was information we didn't want to hear.

My wife and I had a friend who was a Bishop in the Episcopal Church. Bishop Roy Davis is deceased now, but at this time we were very close. We told him about the fighting and the strange feelings, sounds, and occurances we have been experiencing. He suggested he come in and bless our house and give it an exorcism. He did this one evening. He went throughtout every corner of the house and blessed it with holy water and prayers. For 4 sundays afterward he said a family mass in our house. According to him this keeps spirits from returning. He claimed a vacuum is created after an exorcism that might be filled with something worse than what was there.

My wife and I still fight at times, but it isn't like the fighting we were doing then. We've been married 20 years and have lived right here in the "haunted house." Those fights were
different. They were like heavy oil holding you down and making you feel sick inside. My stepson and I are close now, as well. He grew up to be a teriffic young man who presently is the top salesman for a medical supply company located in Florida.

This seems like it should be the end of the story, but it doesn't end here. a few years later, my wife developed Belle's Palsy, a disease that cripples facial muscles. Linda is truly a beautiful woman. The disease paralysed the left side of her face. We went to a specialist who treated her and said it could go away or it could be permanent. The week after her diagnosis, Bishop Roy prayed over her and blessed her face with oil. The palsy went away in two days! When we went to the doctor a week later, he was amazed! In this own words, "I don't know how this happened, but I didn't do this!" He said that he thought Linda might have suffered from this for a year,at best, or, perhaps, even permanately.

Perhaps the "spirit" returned. Bishop Roy said a series of family masses again, and we haven't had a problem in 17 years. This whole experience has made me consider very seriously the existance of real evil in our world....the kind of evil that only faith in God can defeat. We thank God for Bishop Roy, and we pray for his soul regularly.

I'm agnostic but not athiest. I know there are things in this world we can't explain. I do energy work and I've seen what the body can do and I've sen true masters of the practice blow your mind with their skill. As a matter of fact, 1 worked on me and having never met me before, described my house as if he walked through it and then told me there was a spirit watching over me from a big old tree in my backyard. I've never been scared in my house nor have I seen anything unexplainable happen here, thankfully but I know it happens to people out there.

I'm glad your situation was handled and your family came out on top.
 
I do not doubt your story at all. Have heard a similar story from a co-worker lived in a house that had a very negative history. When things progressed to where she was hearing and then seeing things, a priest friend of mine told her that if she wanted to live she needed to leave. She did and her health and mental health improved
very quickly.
 
Your story is totally believable. I have been privy to a number of similar events. I consider myself a spiritual more than religious person. There is an entire realm of things going on around us that we are seldom aware of.

BTW, was your Episcopal Church one of those that left the National church and became part of the Anglican Fellowship?

We had a property out in southcentral PA. The next ridge over had an abandoned farm. You could break into the house through the back door. Everything in the house was still as it was when the old man died a few years before. Even his jacket still hung on a kitchen nail. A portrait of his parents hung in the living room.

My friend and I explored the house, being very respectful and careful. It really was cool and we felt like we had visited him.

A little later in the day, our kids wanted to see the house. They were boisterous and she and I both felt that the old man was tense about this so we left. The next morning, my friend said she had seen a photograph of the old man on the kitchen table and wanted it as a keepsake. So I went back over with my ever-intrepid Rottweiler, Major.

I opened the back door and Major ran in. He suddenly screeched to a halt and fell to the floor in a crouch, the hair on the back of his neck standing up. He quivered and scented the air. Then he turned and ran out of the house!

I retrieved the photograph, said Thank you, and never went back.
 
If I had a dog do that the picture would've stayed right where it was. Don't invite anything in you're not prepared to deal with.

The irony is I see this post is #666
 
A book everyone should read about evil is M. Scott Peck's PEOPLE OF THE LIE. This book approaches evil as something real and around us. He tells a story about a boy who wanted nothing but a tennis racket for his birthday. The boy's brother committed suicide with a .22 rifle. For his birthday, his parents gave him the same rifle with which his brother committed suicide. They told Dr. Peck that they didn't want a perfectly good rifle to go to waste. That's evil!
 
My oldest daughter often "saw" things that others couldn't.

When we lived in PA we lived in a very old farmhouse and she said that there were people with us there. Once she asked who the old lady in our bedroom was when she came in one morning. She also saw things at several places in San Diego while we lived there, she was scared to go to the Whaley House again after her first visit there.

I think she outgrew this, or just quit telling us about it.

Just a side story here. I had a friend and co-worker that told me he was a foster kid durring world war two in our area. That was about 35 or 40 years before he was transferred to our area. He always was trying to find the location but everything had changed. One day he was running his dog in the desert behind our tract. His dog started acting funny, barking at nothing visabal etc. He said he got a strange feeling and all of the sudden things fell into place. He found the old well, rest of the buildings were leveled as it now was on the edge of the airfield where we worked.
Doug was one of those very high strung exciteable type. Right after that I met him in a local bar at closeing time. He went on and on about it and wanted to show me the place that was less than a mile away. I turned him down but he wouldnt quit. So---It was about 3 am, a very bright moonlit night and to appease him we went. Doug had a few drinks in him, was very excited pointing out different little things and telling me storys of how weird he felt etc.
I just couldnt restrain myself. I waited for my best oppurtunity, pulled out my model 60, and let out a scream and fired a couple fast shots in the ground! The results were better than I barganed for! Doug came completly unglued! Insane! For some time I thought I would have to shoot him! I wouldnt want to try that again!
 
Marine 2541 - You might enjoy a class in biblical theology. It is eye opening regarding evil. The cost of the class was modest and was some of the best money I ever spent.
 
I believe in God and and recognise that evil exists. I don't think all hauntings are caused by an evil presence though.
I've seen enough and heard enough over the years that cannot be explained in any other way.
I also believe that we are nearing a confrontation point between the two forces.

What is Bible theology?
 
Durring world war two my mother claims she heard a black spirtual song, "oh dem golden slippers". She walked through the house to see if a radio was left on, but there wasnt. In those days she wasnt particulary religious, but was a strong christian later. Somehow she "just knew" that her brother Eldon must be in trouble. He was a glider guy with the 82nd. She got on her knees and prayed for him, and continued to pray for a number of days before feeling relieved. Long story short, he was one of two that lived out of 14 that died that night when they crashed in, probley D-day in his glider. It didnt end with that, he had smashed his face in, broke his back etc. He and his buddy crawled away as the krauts were mowing down any survivors. They had to hide out for about 3 or 4 days with the germans looking for them, both gravely wounded. At one point they watched while the germans shot down a farmer and his daughter from inside a haystack, I guess the germans had figuered they had helped them. Finaly help came, but their boat got shot badly takeing them back over the channel.
I was a tyke of 5 years old and remember when uncle Eldon came home, and he and mom compareing notes and the excitement both her experience and his was at the very same time!
 
As stated by Wikipedia



Biblical theology is a discipline within Christian theology which studies the Bible from the perspective of understanding the progressive history of God revealing God's self to humanity following the Fall and throughout the Old Testament and New Testament. It particularly focuses on the epochs of the Old Testament in order to understand how each part of it ultimately points forward to fulfillment in the life mission of Jesus Christ.
 
Way to go, Moosedog. Nice job.

Take the course and find out where evil comes from, that it lives and has a beginning and an end.

Is there something that can haunt a house? You bet there is.
 
Does evil exist?Just watch the 6PM news.There is so much going on that people accept it as nothing more than life.
An interesting read is Maurry Terry's "The Ultimate Evil" which is a 10 year study of the Son of Sam killings and the role of Satan Worship and drugs in these crimes.It is amazing how the web of this evil connected people from NY to California.
