Exorcisms & Demonic Possession: Catholicism’s Dark Secret

Do you believe in exorcisms & #demonic possession? Some people do, but it can certainly be embarrassing to admit due to the risk of sounding crazy or absurd. In fact, in certain parts of the country, even admitting to believing in God can be difficult to do, in this age of skepticism and cynicism where spirituality isn’t always treated with respect. However, for many people, including some members of the Catholic faith from different parts of the world, demonic possession is very real, and in some cases, calls for an #exorcism performed by an ordained priest. Gabriele Amorth While it’s easy to dismiss the idea of exorcisms as ridiculous, make-believe and superstitious, here is the story of the late #Gabriele Amorth, who died in 2016 at age 91. Reverend Amorth is believed to have performed over 70,000 exorcisms over the course of his career. He was #the Vatican’s most sought after exorcist, in constant demand, believed in the constant battle between good and evil. To read more about Reverend Amorth, check out Vanity Fair’s article on witnessing Reverend Amorth performing an exorcism before his death in 2016. Whether you truly believe in demonic possession or not, Reverend Amorth’s story will undoubtedly keep you up at night.

Child Ghosts – Demonic or Real Children

Over and over again, we hear of hauntings by the spirit of a little girl or boy.  Perhaps it’s the fact that a child represents innocence and goodness that disarms us from fear or apprehension. We let down our guard, thus exposing ourselves up to a spiritual battle for which we are unprepared. We make ourselves vulnerable to a spiritual world to where earthly rules do not apply.  I would like to examine a few aspects of child #spirits combining both my spiritual beliefs and personal experience in investigations involving “them.” My personal belief is that there is no such thing as earthbound deceased children, even despite tragic and traumatic deaths. As a Christian, I base this on my spiritual beliefs and the character and nature of #Christ.  It is not my intention to impose my personal #religious beliefs on anyone else. Rather, I am merely illustrating and explaining my thought process. As a Christian, I cannot accept that Jesus would leave a child alone and lost to “haunt” a location; let alone seek sympathy and compassion from living human strangers.  It is illustrated in Matthew 13:14-15 where Jesus blessed the children: Then the little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them. And The disciples rebuked those who brought the children. But in Matthew 19:14, Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” When he placed his hands on them, he went on from there. There are other spirits who may choose to remain earthbound for fear of judgment. According to Judaism, children are unaccountable for their actions until they come of age. Typically, this occurs following a religious ceremony when a girl becomes a Bat Mitzvah at age 12 and a boy becomes Bar Mitzvah at 13. He or she is now considered an adult in the eyes of God. If the “spiritual” aspect of this concept is removed,it is still a formidable argument.  Let us consider strictly appealing to human compassion. Who, in the depths of their heart and soul, could not help but feel sympathy for a young child, living or dead? This emotional response is compounded by what those of us who are parents and grandparents feel. From this perspective, I feel the strongest empathy and compassion; a maternal instinct.  Who would not issue an invitation for this ghost child to stay? That is all the demonic require to get permission to turn your life into a literal living hell. The demonic cannot gain a stronghold without permission to do so. It doesn’t matter if we’re aware  that we just rolled out that welcome mat. Demons are opportunistic, cunning and know how to play this game.. They come to steal, kill, destroy and deceive as many as they can.  A demonic spirit can change in the blink of an eye from appearing to be a sweet, innocent child rolling a ball across the floor to an evil and unclean entity in a battle for your mortality and soul.  One is left wondering if anyone saw such a disaster coming. There have been many documented cases of #child ghosts turning demonic.  I wish to speak from personal experience with regard to a case that my team and I were called in on.  At the time, I was a sensitive medium. I was able to communicate with spirits and discern the nature of hauntings as in positive or negative.  This case hailed from Hamden, Connecticut, a blue-collar town. Let us call this client “Judy” to protect her identity. Our team, SPI, was called in after things became really bad. By “really bad”, I am referring to Judy being scratched and pushed, inexplicable foul smells, the presence of dark, shadowy figures and full body apparitions, electronic disturbances, and lights malfunctioning.  Judy started doing her own EVP sessions while drinking and cursing at the entity. This was one of the worst cases I had ever seen and from the moment I set foot in Judy’s house, I knew not only that the spirit was demonic, but also that there were more than one of them. One of the demons threatened me and a year or so later, it made good on those threats and nearly destroyed my life and soul. In fact, Ryan Buell from Paranormal State and Lorraine Warren were also involved with this case. However, Judy refused to give permission to air or disclose anything about what happened.   So, why have I gone into such detail on this particular case? It all started with Judy seeing the spirit of a little boy who appearing to be about seven or eight years old.  She loved having him around and invited him to stay with her. Bam! An invitation issued. This “little boy” told her he would show her his grave and she should go to the cemetery with a spirit/Ouija board and he would communicate with her. Naturally, Judy wanted to know all she could about the so-called little boy, so she went to the cemetery with her best friend and the board.  That’s when all the dynamics changed. There have been many, many cases with a child spirit tugging at a person’s heartstrings. I ask you to keep an open mind and to proceed cautiously when empathy and compassion overshadow the fact that it may be more of a sinister plan than a call of innocence.

Hell Unearthed: The Dozier School for Boys

If you should live in the Wiregrass region, you live mere miles away from the location of the former #Dozier School for Boys, incorrectly described as a reform school, a little more accurately described as an abhorrent prison for young boys, and, in more realistic terms, a virtual hell on Earth, full of physical, mental, sexual and psychological torture and abuse for poor little boys, some of whom had committed petty crimes, and many of whom were #orphans who had committed no crimes at all. The black and white little boys were separated, and, not surprisingly, it was the young African-American boys who suffered the worst torture and abuse during the Dozier School’s heyday in the 1900s. As more and more is discovered about what went on the grounds of the Dozier School, the truth becomes more and more violent, #depraved and unimaginable. Yet, the evidence is there. Rooms devoted to physical torture. Bloodstains still evident on the walls. And the #unmarked graves, spread everywhere across the school’s vast property, still being unearthed. Compelling evidence Perhaps the most compelling evidence and all is the testimony of the few surviving former inmates of the Dozier School for boys, who have just begun to share the true horror of the experiences they suffered and endured at the horrid, brutal, disgusting, hellish and #deplorable Dozier School for Boys in Marianna, #Florida. Perhaps one day the WEBB Paranormal Group will have the opportunity to visit the cursed former premises of the Dozier School to see firsthand a location where compassion was abandoned, morals were shirked, and #children were abused and destroyed, even those who survived. Some scars never heal.

Momo: Viral Hoax, Deadly Curse and the Dark Side of the Internet

#Momo is real; as real as we allow her to be. In case you missed the brief flurry of articles and news reporters that appeared earlier this year, Momo is a frightening, disfigured female with a distorted, human like face and birdlike body who, reportedly, suddenly appeared in the middle of YouTube videos intended for young #children. Momo appears to gaze directly into the camera, an uncomfortable and sudden sight for any adult to see, let alone a child. Possession or Not? Whispers began to circulate that once a child viewed a video featuring Momo, he or she would be possessed by Momo’s demonic spirit, spurring what became known as “the Momo #Challenge,” which would ultimately lead to the child committing #suicide to appease Momo. Rumors of the Momo Challenge spread like wildfire thanks to social media, stirring up a brief but frenzied panic, with parents urging other parents to monitor what their children are watching on YouTube (um, shouldn’t we be doing that anyway?). Post after post appeared with stories of young children committing suicide as a result of the challenge, though subsequent investigations failed to find any actual documented cases of the Momo Challenge resulting in any deaths, suicide attempts or otherwise. The Wave of Internet Hysteria Later, a Japanese artist would admit that he created Momo as an artistic #experiment, and destroyed “her.” Momo was a farce that resulted in a brief wave of #internet hysteria, and it was a success in a very morbid sense of the world. The Momo Challenge is not the first “suicide challenge” to go viral. Prior to Momo, there was “the #Blue Whale Challenge,” rumored to have originated in Russia, which includes the completion of 50 tasks and also culminates in suicide. However, the truth behind the Blue Whale Challenge is heavily disputed. So, for argument’s sake, let’s say that both the Momo and Blue Whale Challenges are fake, and that (fortunately), no young people have actually lost their lives thanks to the production and circulation of an ill-advised “artistic experiment” or viral video. What is known is that dangerous trends do spread online which can indeed hurt children and teens. Take, for example, the number of young people who have lost their lives attempting to take selfies in dangerous situations (i.e. from great heights or so forth). Or, other seemingly dumb yet harmful trends like the cinnamon challenge, the fire challenge, the Tide Pod challenge, or the trend of smoking alcohol, which can land you in the hospital (Google it if you must, but under no circumstances attempt these ridiculously reckless stunts). What is the Bottom Line? The bottom line is that while Momo and the Blue Whale Challenge are undoubtedly disturbing and frightening, especially in an era when it feels like a losing battle to protect our children from the content they view online, Momo and the Blue Whale are not nearly as dangerous as popular, reckless viral trends that teens and adolescents are drawn to in order to gain views and likes online. How to combat this? Perhaps by having a frank and honest discussion about why taking dangerous selfies and videos is simply not worth it. Momo may not be able to touch our children, but fear, anxiety, peer pressure, insecurity and loneliness certainly can.

Haunted Pauly Jail in Union Springs, Bullock County, Alabama

Haunted Pauly Jail in Union Springs Pauly Jail is one of the oldest established correctional facilities in the state of #Alabama, the #Bullock County Jail, was erected in 1897. It was utilized as a film set in 2004.  Gothic Victorian Architecture The three-story red brick Victorian Gothic style of building is almost square in its design plan. Cement covers the foundation and the lower courses of the brick. The finished wall with rough masonry stone lintels located over the door and windows give the building a castle-like facade featuring four small projecting square brick turrets with witch’s hats (spiked metal caps) at the corners. The building has a metal-hipped roof. A single door is the entrance on the ground level which leads to the women’s area and the jailer’s office. Also you will find what is left of a kitchen that was add later to the old jail so the inmates could have hot meals. On the second floor is the bullpen, where the inmates shared a metal table and benches that served as their eating quarters. To the right of the table was a commode and an open shower for bathing. On the third level, a trap door is set in the floor. The door, which could be opened by pushing a lever, could have been used for hanging condemned prisoners in the early 1900s. It sits behind the 1871 Second Empire Style Bullock County Courthouse, adjacent to a beautiful landscaped park and gazebo. In 2000, a restoration of the jail was undertaken but funds soon ran out before it was completed. Pauly Jail Building Company, Inc. The #Pauly Jail Building and Manufacturing Company was founded in 1856 by Mr. P. J. Pauly, a German-American born in 1832. The company was incorporated in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1885 and is the predecessor of the corporation as it presently exists. The company was the first to succeed after discovering the advantages of steel jail construction. #Pauly Jail in Union Springs http://www.unionspringsalabama.com/Pauly-Jail.html Watch this video to learn more about our Pauly Jail in #Union Springs in Bullock County, Alabama investigation that took place in November of 2016.

Investigation of the Dancing Ghost “Grancer” Harrison

On Saturday, October 22, 2016, Webb Paranormal Group assisted another local paranormal group, Rip Investigations, in researching and investigating the rumors told over the last 200 years about the Dancing Ghost of William “Grancer or Grand Sir” Harrison in the Harrison Cemetery in Kinston, Alabama. The cemetery is located in Kinston, AL on what was once the old home place of William Harrison who was affectionally called respectfully “Grand Sir”. Mr. Harrison was a prominent businessman and cotton farmer/planter in the early 1800s. He was married to Nancy Justice Harrison who lies next to him in the cemetery. The Harrison’s had ten children. Grancer Harrison was well known in the Kinston area for his horse races, Barbeques, and dances in a Dance Hall he had built primarily for his plantation. When he realized that his time was near to end, he began planning for his burial. His last wishes before he died was for his family to bury him dressed in his dancing clothes, clogging shoes, his fiddle in his hand while lying on his feather bed. He also wanted the dance parties to go on after he had departed this world. His tomb was to be located within earshot of his dance hall. Rumor has it that on a Saturday night during the midnight hour people can still hear the fiddle playing and a deep male voice call the dance out. Some have even reported to seeing the ghostly figure dancing and hearing the tapping of his shoes as he dances along. Another rumor was that he had slaves bury pots of gold near the dance hall or the grave. Vandals have tried and tried to find this but only succeeded in finding empty pots. One occasion the vandals blew up the tomb scattering Grancer Harrison’s bone fragments. Now are you wondering what the two paranormal research groups found? Some very interesting events happened while we were there. Around midnight, we decided to play some Scottish Fiddle music. What happened next was astounding. The K2 meters owned by both groups went off to the beat of the music. Then our cameraman, Chris Woods, noticed a strange light bouncing back and forth along the tomb itself. The cameraperson for RIP Investigations also moved in to get a clear shot of this phenomenon. There was an orb caught jumping from the side of the tomb too. When the music stopped then, the light stopped, when we changed the music to something slow the light slowed down, and when the music was fast, the light speeded up. Watch the video to judge for yourself. Is this the Ghost of William “Grancer/ Grand Sir” Harrison dancing to the fiddle music he loved so much?
