Here's the problem. Or the rub so to speak. Most people know that I spent time in Africa at the Missions, specificly kenya. Mombasa and Nairobi. I was the psychologist on hand for a couple of excorcisms. The 2 I actually participated in were interesting. One wasn't awful and one was more difficult than I could have imagined. I would have thought it would have strengthened my belief in Catholocism but it had the opposite effect.

Anyway, this is a jumble. There is some christianity, some native american, some irish as well as ties to the Bynzantine Empire.

It's interesting an anagram of Dirken ridge had ties to the oil crisis. "Get rig ID".

There are also ties to the watchers, the nephilim, etc....

Over all of my years, this is the most complicated haunting I've ever seen. I really think your dealing with something demonic. And I really think it's messing with you.

Now I've got a similar case I'm working on down here right now. I'll be at the home tonight interviewing the girl who seems to be the target of the obsession, or haunting.

Now I'm going to throw something at you that you may have never thought of. I'm a firm believer that some spirits assume roles in order to gain strength. Some even portray themselves as gods, angels or demons. Now when I hear people speak of true demons, and prechristian entities... I want to point out that demons, fallen angels are all prechristianity. And I'm sure there are some demons that are post christianity, but I believe that most of the stronger demonic entities are prechristian. Lucifer fell before christianity. And darkness existed prior to that, if you are a christian.

But anyway, this girl I'm interviewing tonight, her family is prominent in New Orleans. And this is a quiet thing. They went to their priest and he instructed them to get her evaluated by a psychologist. Needless to say that's how I became involved. But there are some wierd similarities. These folks are 2nd generation Irish American. Very Catholic. She's felt sexually harassed by this thing. Again sleep paralysis is the 1st thing that comes to mind, but there are other factors which if true eliminate that possibility.

The family has been seeing a tall cloaked shadow being, yes hatted as well. They've also seen numerous smaller shadow creatures.

The priest came to the house and executed a prayer of deliverance because at the time she didn't meet the criteria for excorcism. The priest believes there is more to this than meets the eye. But there are some irish, native american, english, and elements of the bynzatine empire here as well.

This girl dated a young man who had a deviant history with the occult. The paranormal group that originally investigated the house has some interesting evidence. But by the time I got involved this case had progressed far past where you are with these 2 houses.

I'll let you know what becomes of it. I'm not allowed to take a crew in at present. I'll be accompanied by one member of my group who is a former catholic priest. I'll let you know if any similarities pop up.

Ok this girl is the real deal, I just got back. At 1st I thought she was bipolar and suffering from dillusions. She still may be. But there is something dark and supernatural in that house revolving around the girl.

I arrived at the house at 430 PM. Beautiful old mansion in the garden district. The mother answered the door. Pure new orleans. Offered me a tea and I sat down with the girls mother and father. There are no other children in the house and this girl, we'll call her Elizabeth for now is 20 and a solid student at LSU. Father Tang had enlightened me to what was transpiring with the girl. But I needed the parents thoughts. Interestingly enough her exboyfriend was present as well.

They explained to me that Elizabeth had been a 4.0 student up until this past semester. Her Winter holiday consisted of a trip to Ireland. She's been acting peculiar since. She got spooked on a tour of a supposedly haunted castle. Anyway it started with hearing voices and nightmares. Her boyfriend felt very threatened when in her presence. THey've dated for 2 years. He woke up one evening pinned to the bed, Elizabeth was asleep beside him. He said there was a black figure on top of him inches from his face. There was the standard screaming at this point and a white translucent bony clawed hand emerged from the cloak and covered his mouth. Inched closer to his face and said, "YOu will not see her anymore, this one belongs to me. Do you understand?" He said yes, but who and what are you? He said this phrase and the voice are burned into his mind... "Boy, who I am is incomprehensible to you. Your imagination and your bible are incapable of describing me. I am of the darkness. Some call me ELathan. Now go, and do not return."

The boy's story struck me as true.

Now I am not familliar with Elathan. And I haven't had a chance to research it yet. But on to more important matters. After listening to stories of shadow people, dark black oily looking impish creatures flitting about the house, levitation, objects flying around, etc... I asked to see Elizabeth. They took me to the 3rd floor. As I walked the stairs, the former priest who accompanied me, who was the only other member of my team I was allowed to bring, started praying in Latin as we ascended the stairs. The air was heavy, moreso than a typical Nawlins summer day on the 3rd floor of an old house. Even more interesting were the shadows. They moved. From wrong angles, making the entire 3rd floor(only elizabeth stays up here) seem more like night than late afternoon. Her mother unlocked her door and introduced us. Elizabeth was sitting on an ottoman legs crossed in a meditative state. I felt a sense of dispair overwhelm me as her mother locked us in.

Elizabeth, I'd like to introduce myself. In a raspy version of Michael Clarke Duncan's voice she stated my name and my comrade's before I had time to complete my introduction. She asked if I knew who she was. The tv turned on. I said Elizabeth. The tv turned off. Not anymore she said. I asked her to tell me to whom I was speaking with. "You've been touched before, so has the priest." Touched by what I inquired. "Darkness" she said, still speaking in this raspy deep voice. All 4 legs on the antique chair my team member sat on collapsed and the seat fell flat on the floor with him in it.

Elizabeth, why do you not feel like yourself? Would you like to feel me and see? No I wouldn't. Neither would the priest, she said, I think he'd prefer one of your children. She muttered something incoherent in latin. I noticed the little shadow imps inching closer towards us from the corners of the room. It seemed like a large group. The closer they came the more defined they became. Elizabeth, now you know that isn't true. WHo are you? "Ahhh, respect, finally." "So the formality is out of the way, are you quite done with your psychobabble that we know isn't relevant?" Perhaps, I'm done. But that depends on you, and Elizabeth. A drawer open's and closes. Will you excuse me for a moment? I knock on the door and the mother opens it, lets me out, and relocks the door. Hopefully I think to myself that something will happen with my team member isolated. The girl had an obvious disdain for the former priest.

I asked the mother a little more about her psychological history. In the south not everything is in medical records. In New Orleans, mental illness in affluent families can be well hidden. I asked the mother for permission to approach this from a paranormal standpoint. She said "however you sish to reason with that thing is up to you." I motioned for her to open the door.

Upon entering the room my team member was as pale as the dead. All he said to me was, "we need to leave now". Finally Elizabeth stood up from her indian style seated position. It was almost like she just appeared standing from this position. The movement from sitting to standing directly on top of the ottoman was far too fast for me to discern. So you were going to tell me who you are. "Didn't the boy tell you?" She took a gliding step down from the ottoman towards me. It didn't seem natural. He mentioned something. But I sincerely doubt it to be true. "And why is that? You've seen. You've been touched." And that is why I do not believe. I believe this house to be haunted but I believe you to be an extension of Elizabeth. "Alway's remaining so clinical." Who are you. "Your Irish aren't you doc?" Who are you? THis conversation is over until you answer that question. The entire room vibrated. I actually became fearful. It was the most powerful thing I've ever felt. "The chat is over when I say it's over. " I'm leaving. The room shook again. "Fine. Elathan". Elathan. E L A T H... "Yes, correct." "It won't help you. " Are you a demon, a fallen angel? "Much more." I am ancient. Now go. I grow weary of you.

We knocked on the door and we were allowed to leave by the mother. She immediately questioned me and I told her that I needed to speak to the priest 1st. We got into my car and my dear friend and team member looked me square in the eyes and said, "Jay, we need to not involve ourselves here." We need to leave this to father tang. That girl... I've see some horrid things,, that girl is evil incarnate. Jay. I've seen demons, strong and powerful. This is far far worse. We need to let the priests try. I fear this is something beyond them. But they need to try. What happened while I was gone? It doesn't matter. But the girl is gone and I fear that Christ himself could not save her. We discussed some other items relevant to the case on our 45 minute ride across the lake.

We went to see Father Tang. I explained to him that because of my supernatural beliefs I was unable to offer an objective opinion. I told him to have her reevaluated. Because as a psychologist this girl had MPD and her house was haunted, and that was anything but clinical. Father tang thanked me for paying a visit and that he would keep me abreast of the situation.

I could go into more detail about how this haunting progressed. Haunting isn't the proper word. BUt it's similar to these 2 houses your dealing with. The impression I got from speaking to this girl was that I was speaking to something ancient. Gaelic, English, Latin and some other language that neither of us could identify. I got the impression that I was dealing with something very old. With some type of dominion over Ireland. PreChristian for sure. There is something else which I'll U2U.

Yeah, I've done my research. The priest has called in an "official" Church Psychologist and an Official MD. After a few go rounds with my group, and a few more calls from the mother, I still haven't decided if I should avoid this one. The mother liked my approach, and is seeking excorcism for the girl. She wants a church sanctioned excorcism. After the evaluations in the next couple days, the attending priest will determine if she meets the criteria. She does.

We also discovered the language she was speaking that neither of us recognized. I am 100% sure there is a haunting but the girl spoke klingon. It sounded fmailliar but I didn't put it together. I was not amused. It was almost enough to make me drop it all together.

But I'm not sure if this is a church issue as much as something for the Druids.

Just for reference Woody, I spoke to a Druid Priest we collaborate with on occasion and I mention the # 56 to him with your issue. He offered some suggestions. There are 56 Aubrey holes at Stonehenge. Whenever a marker stone arrives at AH56 or AH28 it signals a summer or winter eclipse.

You can publish that U2U if you you think it will help, I didn't because it contained a name. However if it willl help us sort it out then feel free.

I had a followup with Elizabeth. It mentioned the name I U2Ued you again. She also mentioned another name. and tried to elaborate on Dirken Ridge. Said it was an abstract pertaining to the person whose name I gave you. Not an anagram per say. Irk n die (name) ridge was representative of mountain or hill or bluff. I didn't quite understand.

Not sure if it has any relevance. The people in the case are irrlevant. The occupants of the 2 houses are inconsequential. This has something to do with you.

I'm maintaining involvement in this case. Father Tang informed me the girl meets the criteria but she's undergoing further evaluation before the call is made.

Most things follow the path of least resistance. EVerything with this entity has been related to affection. Divide and conquer is likely. Together you are not as susceptable to its charms. I am of the opinion, and no offense not all demons or negative entities respond to the same manner of cleansing.

I really think you are dealing with a Christian demon. And someone of that faith needs to cast it out. No offense to your practice. But everything I'm getting is to go through the church. Don't screw around with an ameteur. Have a priest come into both homes and execute a prayer of deliverance. Your homes should be done as well. Again I think that the houses being haunted were simply to draw you in.

When you cast out an evil spirit or a demonic entity you open yourself up to it, intentional or not. You exposed yourselves. And now he's trying to pick you off. Your doing good work and obviously it isn't going unnoticed. This is a demon that perhaps can only be affected by Christianity. Use that resource.
