I think most of us understand that Demonic forces are about, and out to tempt anyone.
Ive been reading about the incident with Ursuline Nuns in Loudun France back in 1634, These Nuns were alledgedy attacked and Possessed by demonic forces, they went into convulsions, used abusive language, Father Jean-Joseph Surine exorcised the demons by inviting them into him, (Thats nuts), the demons abliged and caused him to become mentally unstable, inflicted injuries upon himself and even attempted suicide.
But here is where I have alittle trouble with this alledged Possession, Most of these nuns and Priests carry the crucifix, Im sure they were blessed, The Crucifix is a powerful tool against evil and demonic forces, to the Demon it represents the crucifixion of Christ, Triumpt over Sin and evil, and so the demon is afraid of it. We who carry the Crucifx understand its meaning as well, it reminds us who we belong to, and our allegiance to him and the church, not to mention protection from Evil.
So, The church in 1634 Im sure had crossess all over, and around it. Im just not sure that this incident really happened.
I think something else was going on, and the demon excuse was just an excuse.

Probably wont know for awhile, but we all know that children while young see things we dont, have imaginary friends that arent so imaginary.
Saturday 01-15-11 My Son-n-Law, my daughter and 41 month old Graddaughter went out to Waco to visit with some friends, we decided to go to Mount Carmel, the site of the 1993 Branch Dividian Massacre, we didnt talk about anything specific of what happened, so the kid wasnt aware of anything. I had my Digital Recorder and was going to try for some EVP.
As we approached the Compound, there is nothing left of the area, no house, one or two small buildings left standing, you wouldnt even know that was the site of this Tragedy if the sign stating so wasnt there.
As we pulled up to the small road leading into the area, my Granddaughter grabbed my arm tightly and starting crying, she got really upset and scared while looking at the area where the Compound was, she freaked out, we couldnt get her to calm down, so we turned around and left, during this incident I started having ideas of what was going on.
Once we got clear of the area, my Graddaughter calmed down, stopped crying, and I asked her to tell Pa-pa what she saw, in her own words she said, "A House, Bodies".
I reported on this board awhile back about another incident with my Graddaughter during the 2009 Christmas week, we were at the Sandpit in the woods in Winn Parish, shooting off fireworks, enjoying the day, She started walking towards the treeline and stopped, she was waving and smiling, when I asked her who she was seeing, she said "A boy".

I think the only good device to use for EVP's is the Digital Recorders, I was watching the youtube videos about the Ghost boxes, and you can hear radio stations etc. Guess someone comes out with some device to try and make a buck off the Paranormal.

Ive been watching these videos on youtube about "Ghost boxes", but from what I understand about EVP's, they are out of range with normal hearing, so, how can a radio pick it up on FM Broadcast Bands?. We can hear that.

Sun better rise tomorrow, gotta pay the truck note, although, if it doesnt, guess it wouldnt matter anyway.
I have alot of people tell me I think too deeply on things, but I read alot, maybe I bring up questions that I know folks cant explain, I like the idea of lifes mysteries, things here that dont seem right, mysteries of the Planet. Personally if they werent meant to be a mystery, and for us to seek the truth, they wouldnt be there.
I spent alot of time in Cemeteries, Haunted Battlefields, cataloged hours and hours of EVP's, and Im not talking about someone scratching, or some bump, but real voices, this one place I spend alot of time at, the more I go to it, the more experiences I have there, been visiting the house for years, The House was used as a Civil War Hospital, and the last time I went, something happened that so far has scared me into not going back for awhile.
I want to email you about this?
In the past 15 years of doing my own investigations, spending nights alone in cemeteries, has been really interesting.

I have visited many other Paranormal boards, and asked the same questions as I did here, gave my input, like you, I believe what I want as a free man, but its suprising that once I posted the same issues, people were upset, became angry, arrogant, when one talks about UFO's and the Bible, like all the other so called Preachers I asked these questions to, dodged, or became angry, and arrogant at those questions, not sure why, but I think as you have mentioned to me, and as many Preachers also said, We shouldnt dwell on the subject, thats always the excuses. And thats the way they word things, I see thru that.
Although the Bible is full of Paranormal activity concerning Ghosts, Ive asked Preachers how they felt about that subject, it amazes me how many will go out of there way to avoid the subject all together, but being the bible, it should be a topic of conversation in the church, but why run from it?.
My job on an Ambulance with daily downtime gives me time to think deep over alot of things. Although I have alot of Paranormal activity that happens to me, at my Louisiana Camp, and the Haunted Civil War house I spend nights in, I try to bring posts to this board that seems deader than the two Patients I had last month, try to bring some Life to it.. Just hope it is appreciated.

I know that we three do have a religious background, but what I was trying to point out is, with all the different cultures of people that lived for thousands of years, and left behind evidence of how Technically advanced they were for their time, the bible doesnt cover this, nor does it cover the time frame before the Book of Genesis concerning the Dinosaur era, Genesis says nothing about these Creatures, yet they did exist, Im not saying at all the Bible is incorrect, merely it just seems to cover a small period of time in Earths History Yes, God did create the Heavens and the Earth, but, There were still Dinosaurs. Prehistoric man existed before the Biblical era it seems.
It seems there is a massive amount of missing time, and I think it occures before the Book of Genesis was written. Nobody knows for sure, that I fully understand, but it doesnt keep a person from wondering about it all, and there isnt anything illegal that I know of in the Bible about questioning, or even pondering what Ive mentioned here.
Your right, there were Angels who rebelled against God, and he tossed them out, maybe it was planned that way , that if Mankind on Earth had Demons to Tempt him/her, not to make it easy to get into the Kingdom of Heaven, that we have to fight for it. We know there is good and evil, makes it sound like there has a to be a balance, that if there were only good, it would be too easy to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Just a thought.

Your last post Rachael came off arrogant in a way, so, please dont do that, Yes I may contradict myself in my wording, but its just how I word things.
Im simply saying what I believe, and what I believe is, there is way too much evidence that goes contrary to the bible, Im not gonna mention them here, but as far as the proofs, those who want to know, have capable fingers and can look it up for themselves.
No, doubt it will be anytime soon that anything on this world will be solved, whether it was meant for us to investigate or not, it could be a Mystery that God placed here to amuse us.

As I read thru the Bible tonight in the book of Deuteronomy ch-18 Vs 9-10-11-12, I think Proves the existance of Ghosts, because in this section of the Bible, its tells how God isnt too happy with People who study the Paranormal, and in Verse 12, he basically says he isnt pleased with those who seek out Spirits of the Dead.
Most people know that the Bible is full of Paranormal activity, if there is a skeptic out there who may be religious, and still doesnt believe in Ghosts, look up the Bible verses for yourself.

Well, everybody has a right to believe as they wish, But, evidence around the planet cant be explained, and it all leans towards Alien intervention regardless what the bible says. Da Vinci had an imaginary mind, but its too coincidental he would paint UFO's.
When you have Eygptians who were playing with Batteries and lights, thats aside from the Bible. Theres something going on here that eventually will be explained. We know that dinosaurs roamed the earth, but thats millions of years before man, or the bible, where do they fit in?.. We have Proof they lived.
Dont throw any bashing remarks, or think anything is silly. I read the bible, but as I said, things just dont add up, especially when the Proof outweighs all else.
Ive always wondered why the Bible just contains itself to the Middle East and not the rest of the World, when I read it, its as if no other races, or cultures exist, but you have the Mayans and so many other cultures around the world that the Bible doesnt even mention, and it appears that these people lived thousands of years before Adam and Eve, so one can recite Bible scripture all day long, but when you have proof of the existence of other races, well, for me, where do they fit in?, and the time line just doesnt add up.
I know people here dont have the answers, the bible doesnt either, but Im mentioning it to get what others may think on the subject.

I dont think Angels would need Chariots. The root of all this is for me, Im not doubting the Bible, but when you have proof that aliens visited Earth, all the Cave Drawings showing what appears to be spacecraft, or Aircraft of some sort, then you have things on this world that nobody can explain, tribes from hundreds, even thousands of years ago that knew about a certain star that only till the 20th century was it discovered by Astronomers, then Im asking the question, whats up with all this?. My theory is, that Earth has been used and reused for millions and millions of years, and those civilizations have left behind proof of their existance. Maybe they became so technically advanced that they left the planet for some other star system. Fact is, Leonardo Da Vinci painted UFO's in his pantings, I dont think the Frisbee was invented back then. So, he must have seen UFO's to paint them. For me there is just too many unanswered Questions that the Bible doesnt cover, we have proof somethings been going on here. And Remember, the Bible Was situated in the Middle East, not the rest of the world

On the History Channel I have been watching some Shows about Demon Possession and Exorcisms, they have been showing these Preachers placing a Bible on the heads of people who are violent, yelling, screaming etc.
I admit that I dont know much about Demon Possession, but after setting in my easychair in some Deep Thoughts, I am of the belief that Possession doesnt happen overnight, I think it occurs over a good period of time, I dont think a demon just jumps into your body, and takes over immediately. and what you see on TV is nothing more than people venting lifes anger and frustration, theatrics.
I would amagine that true Demon Possessed People would spit upon, hate even the sight of a Priest, or a Preacher, or the crucifix, therefore, they wouldnt even go near a church, but yet on TV, you see these so called Preachers in a church ordering demons out of a person..
So, am I wrong in my thinking?..Opinions always welcome.

I do know that Spirits will do whatever they want, stay where they want regardless of what anyone does, or says.. But I guess I didnt make myself too clear in the original post, I wanted to say that I cross myself to help protect against any negative entities that may be visiting me, I do believe that demonic forces dread the sign of the cross because it reminds them of the crucified.

I dont think its coincidence, Im a firm believer in saying a Prayer before bed, I also cross myself before I lay down.
Its not uncommon to have someone bump my bed at night, happens almost nightly. But over the past 3 days I didnt say my bedtime prayers, broke my own "Firm Believer" rule. I noticed the strange activity pick up, from someone touching behind my ear, there were no bugs in my room, this was a touch, to an incident last night that made me yell out.
It was 2:13 am, I saw something float across my bed from right to left, when I saw it, or the shadow, I heard myself Yell out, then I remember trying to reach up and touch it, then all I remember was turning onto my side and saying to myself, "That was strange". But the issue Im having is, was it all a very real dream?, or was I actually witnessing this?, I know that I heard myself yell when I saw this "Thing" floating over my bed.
This isnt the first time Ive seen things in my bedroom during the night, the one incident that stands out the most for me is, the night I was laying in bed, and suddently saw a dim light coming from underneath my bed, I laid there for abit trying to decide if it was real or not, then decided it was, jumped up out of bed yelling WTF, and smashed my toenail off on the bedpost trying to get to the bedroom lights, after rolling around on the floor in agony for abit, I saw nothing under the bed.
For many years I had read the Bible, sadly, I stopped for awhile, but these incidences caused me to get back to my Religious roots, and since then, things like what I mentioned above stopped. Until these past 3 days. Tonight I will be saying my bedtime prayers.
For anyone reading this, and not believing, I want to say that I do not drink alcohol, nor do drugs, so thinking that may be an issue, you would be wrong.....

I will always believe there is a God of all Mankind as mentioned in the Bible.
So heres my Question for you, What if, at some point in the future Extraterrestrials do make contact with Civilization on earth, and say that they are the God mentioned in the Bible?, How do you suppose that would impact Religions Worldwide?. Personally I think it would be devastating, not only to each individual who is religious, but also to countries that are based on Religion. Also, There appears to be evidence that Extraterrestrials were around probably as far back as the Dinosour age, and the Biblical era, so, could there be a connection between God and Aliens? I find it hard to believe that God who see's and knows everything would stand by and allow extraterrestrials to watch from the sidelines.
Whats your thought?

What I want to discuss here, First, Im not looking for acceptance from anyone about my religious preferences, thats the beauty of America that we all cherish, religious or not.
All these years of studying the Paranomal, reading, trying to get answers to questions people cant answer, and I fully understand that some things just cant be answered at this point in time. I have thought alot about different religions here in this country, about which religion comes close to understanding the Paranormal. Over time I have asked many Religions from Church of Christ to Baptist to others questions, and of course, they come up with all sorts of answers trying to satisfy me, basically to just get rid of me.
The one religion that stands out the most for me as to understanding the Paranormal, is the Catholics, they understand exorcisms, may perform them, and from those in the Catholic church Ive spoken with, they werent freaked out about someone asking them their stance on the spirit world. We all know that the Cross is a symbol that demonic forces fear, they seem to fear Holy Water, they dont like Priests, surely there is something to that in itself, whereas other religions Im not so sure about due to their reluctance to discuss the Paranormal with me.
I grew up in a Church, have a strong religious background, but I am considering moving over to the Catholic Church, in part because of the actions of those religions I spoke of, and the Catholics seem to have a better understanding of whats really going on.
Ok, opinions welcome, bad or good, I can handle them all.

Spent this week at the Camp near Winnfield, La. Had a good time by myself, nearly ate myself into a coma. Went walking in a couple of cemeteries collecting EVP's at 1am, since it was a full moon this week, I saw a couple of shadows, one was mine, not sure who the other three belonged to tho, that was creepy.
When Im at the camp, Im like a "Night Crawler", I love running the roads, riding my 4 wheeler through the woods on trails, seeing just what I can see thats stalking around, whats hiding behind the next pine tree that might jump out and grab me, of course, I never ever go out there without my 9mm and AR-15, having those just seems to make me alittle more Ballsy, and I feel comforted, Cause I know that a fight with Bigfoot, I WILL win.. I always take my Digital recorder everywhere I go, and I stopped way back in the woods on this old firebreak, turned the headlights off, shut the motor off, and just listened to the forest, how quiet it got, it was a nice night, and even with the full moon, its dark, and your senses become sharper, I tried alittle EVP, I asked, "Hey, is there anyone whose riding shotgun with me tonight?" a couple of seconds later I get this EVP saying a quick, "Yeah", so I said, "Well alright, happy to have you aboard", and We took off thru the woods.
I stopped at this one cemetery that Ive only been to several times during the day, as I approached it, apprehension quickly set in, a slight fear, I learned over the years of investigating places like Cemeteries, Civil War Battlefields and old buildings that were used as Civil War Hospitals, that if I sense that Im not Welcome, get a powerful apprehension, I dont proceed, so Tuesday morning at 2am, me and my ghostly shotgun rider got back on the 4 wheeler and left. I believe that spirits can project fear, apprehension on someone when they dont want you around, so out of respect for them, I leave.
But it didnt stop there, going down the road I had this strange feeling I was being followed, so I whipped the 4 wheeler around to shine the headlights back up the road, Nothing there. It took about an hour for the feeling of being followed to go away. So, I called it a night.
Dont get me wrong folks, I understand there are things in those woods that can put a hurtin on ya, really scare the crap out of you, Ive already experienced some of it over the years, and yes, there is alittle fear in me everytime I go out, Im not superman, but I love the forest at night, and of course, the firepower helps alot.

I do alot of reading from the Bible, I do consider myself a religious person, I also think that the Paranormal is part Religious, concerning Demonic forces, since it was fallen Angels who rebelled against God, got thrown out of Heaven, to me that makes it religious.
For a long many years now I have thought about UFO's, Dinosaurs, prehistoric man etc. The Ancient Cave drawings that show what appears to be aircraft, people in space suits, and Ive always had a hard time trying to figure out how all this fits into the Bible. We know all this is true by the evidence of Dinosaurs that leave behind fossils, Prehistoric man, things in this world such as early civilizations that appear to have been extremely intelligent, built cities with such precision that they couldnt have done it by themselves with the tools of the day.
I have asked many a Preacher about this, and most all of them either change the subject, or simply make the excuse that UFO's are the works of the devil, just to get me off their backs. I will always be faithful to the Bible, but it doesnt cover the Dinosuar ages, or early man millions of years prior to Adam and Eve. I suppose it will always leave me with tons of questions that will never be answered.
Just a thought.
