The Deadliest Catch and Aftershocks

By Reverend Mark Hunnemann

The “Deadliest Catch”. Millions of people watch the TV show by this name, which is about catching crab in the Bering Sea. It is an exciting show!  I don’t doubt that this vocation IS one of the deadliest….in the natural realm.

However, there is another “catch” that is far more deadly. The deadliest catch I’m referring to is the intentional seeking to interact with spirits on ‘the other side’.

Last week on Zak Bagans “Aftershocks”—in which he interviews people from previous investigations—featured two people who are in serious trouble as a result of engaging in the deadliest catch.

Both people he interviewed had become obsessed with certain locations they had investigated, and it had terrible effects upon them. Indeed a man had become temporarily possessed while taunting the spirits.

The deadliest catch. For a while I have wanted to use that phrase in reference to ghost hunting/paranormal investigating. Here is my point: what percentage of people who are actively involved in communication with spirits are experiencing difficulties? (physical, emotional, spiritual, relational, financial, etc.)

I once asked Dave Schraeder that question, and he admitted that the percentage had to be pretty high. When you factor in demons that lay low for long periods after coming home with investigators, then the percentage is even higher.

May I gently suggest that the closely held dark secret of the paranormal community is precisely this fact—most investigators are showing outward signs of demonic oppression or worse. By oppression I don’t necessarily mean painful attacks. One of the busiest investigators in the world experiences rain in their house on a regular basis, but they just shrug it off or even laugh. But we must remember that the darkening of one’s mind/heart is always a clear and present danger when messing with the spirit realm, no matter how well-intentioned or supposedly protected.

The deadliest catch is not crabs. There are no earthbound spirits to ‘catch’….only demons who will attach, hook-line-and sinker, to those who disobey God’s law by engaging in spiritism.

Anybody who ghost hunts is involved in the deadliest catch. What grieves me immensely is how many investigators are under spiritual attack. Obsession is one indicator of demonic influence, and how many investigators are passionate to the point of obsession with EVP collection, some location, a particular spirit, etc?

May the Lord use us as spiritual “Coast Guard” to help save those drowning in the deadliest catch.

Aftershocks--Long Term Affects of Exposure to "Spirits"

By Rev. Mark Hunnemann

Once in awhile, the GAC crew invites folks from previous investigations for "post-op" interview, which they call "Aftershocks". Often, the comment is made that things got worse after they (Ghost Adventures Crew) had left. Recently, in his darkened dungeon, Zak Bagans made this comment, "There should be a doctor who studies the long term affects of interacting with spirits." He then bemoaned how all his girlfriends had been attacked and dumped him. Well...

I have made the very same comment on more than one occasion. With the Ebola virus now seemingly in the US, there is a spiritual pandemic definitely threatening the entire globe.

As an increasing number of people disregard the safeguards of Deuteronomy 18:12 ff and intentionally attempting to contact the "spirits of the dead", they are putting themselves at risk of catching something much worse than Ebola--because it has eternal consequences.

I have been personally involved in dozens of cases and have seen or heard of many people getting very sick or dying because of long term exposure to the demonic. This is the deep, dark secret of the paranormal community. It must be exposed. I have friends who are exorcists/demonologists/ deliverance who tell of many other cases of severe illness.

To my knowledge, there is not an on-going study by an MD of how widespread this spiritual pandemic has become, and its physical consequences. But, as was mentioned, there should be.

It is embarrassing for many to report their ailment and link it to their paranormal activity...or others who are innocent but still get "infected" due to unfortunate circumstances.

When I received a triple scratch/claw on my left shoulder several months ago--scar is still visible--I was concerned about getting sick, especially since I already have a heart condition. But who could I tell? a few close friends...Some getting sick are those on the front line fighting this vicious, desperate, end-times attack of Satan. This is not the norm for most Christians.

Please do not lose your confidence in the Lord--if we humble ourselves before Him, submit to God, and resist the devil, then he will flee.But for those millions being drawn into the occult, Christians need to be aware of a pandemic already raging. In Jesus,
