My Experiences with the Paranormal as a Youth

In the 1960s and early 1970s, my brother and I experience a strange presence in our house. We were the typical American family: mother, father, older brother and sister, identical twin brother and I. My mother and father both worked and my brother and I were watched over by black maids which was common in the South back then.

The Vietnam war had the country divided and opposition seemed to be rising day-by-day. Also, the 60s Cultural Revolution of free love, long hair and drugs was in full swing. After my father returned from work with dirty clothes and hands, (he was a welder), he would turn on the TV to listen to the news anchor, Walter Cronkite, discussing the war and other issues in the country.

While there was a war going on in the country, there was also a war going on inside our home. My parents were headed towards a divorce. My brother and I were about five or six years old at the time. There was an unbelievable tension going on inside our home. It seemed as if it was evil and my brother and I could both feel this evil. It seemed as if this evil was trying to tear this family apart. I believe this presence had a great influence on our mother. She would fly into rages and my father would also at times. Every Sunday morning before going to church they would have the biggest fight only to appear wearing smiles at church service later on.

Upon awakening from an afternoon nap, a lady walked out of the closet. She was in physical form and was wearing red a red dress with a red veil over her face. She walked out of one closet and entered another. It really spooked me out.

My brother began hearing voices saying they would kill him.

On another occasion I saw a man wearing wrags enter the room at night. I tried to wake my brother and sister, but to no avail. They were placed in a state of sleep paralysis. For some reason I was the only one allowed to see him.

Then, one night I saw my sister's doppleganger or it was a demon impersonating my sister. I wrote about this incident a few blogs back.

My brother and I were both terrified of that house. When I stayed there alone, even until age 17, I would shut all the doors to the back of the house and stay up front.

I know what it feels like to be in the presence of pure evil. Years later in 1989, I was once again faced with evil and once you are exposed to it you will never forget it. I also wrote about this incident in 1989 in an earlier blog.

Once one demon knows you it seems you are posted on a demon bulletin board. They all know you.

So, we all need spiritual protection, especially when we are entering unsafe areas.

Take care and be safe.
