What Are Shadow Figures?

By Reverend Mark Hunnemann

What are shadow figures? Most folks would answer that by saying that they are trapped human spirits. However, the more unmoored from a biblical worldview we become, the more “unreal” and fantastical the speculation has become regarding their identity. I have come to a different conclusion. It is true that, in addition to logic and science, I approach this issue from a biblical worldview, but as I argue in "Seeing Ghosts through God's Eyes" we all have a worldview and it informs and shapes our conclusions we come to just as "intrusively". We all wear worldview spectacles that affect the way we see data; I simply make mine explicit. (an important but distinct issue, is determining which worldview is true—corresponds to reality). The biblical worldview is coherent (internally consistent), and corresponds to what we know instinctively about ourselves and the world we live in. In an age of irrationality, which is unprecedented in the history of mankind, the bible trumpets the reality of true truth—which is objective and absolute—the Oracles of the Living God (bible) as we saw last week...

When I saw my first shadow figure—solid, black humanoid shaped--12 years ago, I knew instinctively what it was: a demon. Since then, I have experienced a lot of supernatural activity, and shadow figures seem to be the most common form it chooses to take—which is significant in itself. Let me give the reasons for why I believe ALL shadow figures are demonic in nature, and not a shadowy presence of a loved one.

First, our understanding of the nature of God is central to our worldviews--most of which are held unconsciously. The infinite/personal God of the Bible is holy. The refulgence of His glory is blinding…brighter than the noon-day sun. Jesus said He is the Light of the world as opposed to Satan who is the Prince of darkness, This is not a black versus white issue, it is a light versus darkness issue. I could pile up references that speak of good in terms of light and evil in terms of darkness (see John 3). Darkness signifies distance from God and affinity with evil. Now shadow figures are invariably dark. From head to toe there is no light emanating--just walking darkness. The sheer darkness would seem to suggest that they are “pure evil”…which is precisely what they are.

Second, logic and science imply that a self--existent and eternal God, as well as infinite and personal, had to create paranormal phenomena. An impersonal physical realm cannnot give rise to a supernatural end personal entity--that would be like water rising above its source. Having said that, do we really believe that God would create our essence (souls) to appear in such a fashion that they frighten loved ones when they see them? Some argue that in this case you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. As an author I know people do judge books by their cover and our first impressions of shadow figures are almost always fearful. I ask again—do we really think God would allow our essence to become so freaky looking that it scares the daylights out of loved one’s?

Third, if there is one word that summarizes the general behavior of shadow figures it is "furtive"--they slyly dart from shadow to shadow, trying to avoid detection, or are seen in one’s peripheral vision. (I know there are exceptions—they stand at the foot of one’s bed—but these exceptions prove the rule) Furtive behavior is normally associated with spiritual and moral decay. Consider the first furtive act in the history of mankind. After committing cosmic treason against a holy God, we are told that Adam and Eve slunk around in the garden ashamed of their nakedness--which was indicative of a spiritual and moral nakedness.. Hence, not only the appearance but the behavior of shadow figures belies their demonic nature. As pure evil,. they slink around, always aware of the GAZE of the holy God, against whom they have rebelled..

Yes, there are manifestations of shadow figures that stand at the foot of the bed, or rape the occupant in the bed, but most SHADOWS are caught out of the corner of the eye…are they not? I am not interested in sneering argument or endless conjecture—the presence of shadow figures are prominent in the demonic infestations that the Lord brings to me to cleanse. Often, it is the observed departure of a shadow figure demon, that signals their surrender and exit.

Fourth, while on earth an essential trait of our souls is invisibility. No surgeon has ever seen a soul, but they exist. How is it then that after we die, some souls gain the trait of potential visibility? Do you really believe that the shadow figure you saw the other night is the soul or essence of a human being? If so, who gave them this new ability to manifest as frightening looking shadows?. How did the essentially invisible, take on visivility?

Lastly, one of the widely held paranormal maxims is: as in life, so in death. If a man was a jerk while alive, then he will be a jerk as a ghost. If ghosts exist then that makes sense. I would press it further: upon death, there must be 100 percent continuity of moral character and personality. So shadow figures, or ghosts in general, must represent a true cross section of American citizens. Aunt Sally was an extrovert, never met a stranger, and she was very vocal about her love for Jesus. Where are the Aunt Sally’s in the shadow figure population? Or the whole alleged ghost population for that matter? I've heard a couple of EVP’s that say “God” or "Jesus", but where is the EVP expressing warm worship of Him? Where is the shadow figure that declares the gospel or asserts Jesus is their shield and defender? The “as in life, so in death” principle is shattered by these godless entities.

Jesus stated that what we say is expressive of the habits/nature of our hearts—whatever fills our hearts will come out of our mouths. Hence, the universal lack of praising the glory of the Person and work of Christ amongst shadow figures, gives us a glimpse into the Christ-hating habits of their hearts. If shadow figures are really demons, then this is precisely what one would expect. Ocham’s razor would indicate that the simplest explanation of the identity of shadow figures is that they are demonic.

A couple of further thoughts—these entities should NOT be referred to as “shadow people” because they are not people!! They are pure evil… unclean spirits, bent on the destruction of people. Amy Allan of the TV show The Dead Files is deathly afraid of these shadow creatures because, according to her, they almost killed her when she was four years old—they persuaded her to bite into an electrical cord. But she has stated that she has no clue as to who they are or where they come from. As with all paranormal entities, the true identity of shadow figures is not a paranormal or scientific issue—it is a theological issue. How sad that folks would get excited about observing that which intends to destroy them. For God’s glory, let us expel them in the name of Jesus.

Plasma, Dark Matter, Dark Energy, Other Dimensions, & How They May Help Explain the Supernatural (Part 2)

By Lisa Grace

Continued from Part 1 http://eyeontheparanormal.blogspot.com/2013/01/plasma-dark-matter-dark-energy-other.html

The greatest part of what the known universe is made of is not understood. Dark matter of which all we can deduce is: it has a gravitational pull. And then there is dark energy which seems to be pulling solar systems and the universe apart.

Depending on the source, dark matter makes up 25% to 99% of all known matter in the universe. It’s called “matter” because all matter has a gravitational pull.

The term “dark energy” is a way to say for scientists to say “there is a force out there that we can’t see and can’t explain, but we think we can detect it is pulling solar systems and the universe further apart.”

Scientists name their theories to make them more believable. How does this relate to the supernatural?

Because the supernatural is somewhat like the theory of “dark energy.” In that “there is a force out there that we can’t see and can’t explain, but we think we can detect it.”

Then also with dark matter 25% - 99% of the known universe is made of matter we can’t detect except it has to be there because it has gravitational pull?

How is that anymore believable than when witnessing a supernatural creature EMF, temperature, sound, and physical disturbances can be detected?

Yet scientists take themselves seriously while laughing at the paranormal community?

Other Dimensions

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/physics/imagining-other-dimensions.html

Quote from above link: In 1919, Polish mathematician Theodor Kaluza proposed that the existence of a fourth spatial dimension might allow the linking of general relativity and electromagnetic theory.

Remember in part 1 where we talked about possible creatures living in plasma, the 4^th state of matter?

Also, quote: Plasma energy can be of various origins: thermal, electrical, or light (ultraviolet light or intense visible light from a laser). With insufficient sustaining power, plasmas recombine into neutral gas.

Plasma can be accelerated and steered by electric and magnetic fields, which allows it to be controlled and applied. Plasma research is yielding a greater understanding of the universe. http://www.plasmas.org/what-are-plasmas.htm

Remember that plasma can be visible and controlled in electromagnetic fields?

There is an interesting book, (written in 1884 by Edwin A. Abbott - Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions) that talks about how a three dimensional creature, in a two dimensional world (like a sphere) would appear as a line getting shorter or longer to the two dimensional creatures. (See link above for a full description.)

Right now scientists studying electromagnetics and plasma are observing phenomena appearing as waves.

See: Institute for Electromagnetic Field Theory and Plasma Physics, (1994)

 http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.147.2910

What if that is because as three dimensional creatures, peering at four dimensional creatures, we simply can’t comprehend what we are really seeing? That waves, mists, occasional movements and sounds, are the closest we can come to seeing these four dimensional creatures? (which could be separate thermal, electrical, and light beings or combos of all three.)

My hypothesis (theory) is: scientists are seeing four dimensional creatures and simply not understanding what they are seeing. This is to be expected. Mathematically they can prove through string theory it’s there, also through gravitational pull they can prove dark matter is there, and they can make plasma (the fourth state of matter) visible in a lab setting, but they haven’t tied it all together yet, because it is simply too mind blowing.

It proves there is without a doubt another dimension with living beings in it, and when scientists stop denying the most likely explanation - comes closer to proving there is an AWESOME intelligent designer behind the whole shebang. We are not the top of the intelligence pyramid, matter of fact, we’re not even close, which is very humbling.

Next week: Part 3 - Imagine being a four dimensional creature consigned to existing in a three dimensional world.

Lisa Grace is the author of the Angel Series which is currently in movie development, 30 minutes of Flash Fiction, and The 15^th Star (A Lisa Grace History Mystery) available through all major ebook retailers and soon to be in paperbacks.

Imagine Being a Four Dimensional Creature Trapped in a Three Dimensional World (Part 3 of Plasma, Dark Energy, Dark Matter, Other Dimensions & How They May Help Explain the Supernatural)

By Lisa Grace

Read Part 1

Read Part 2

For those who are coming in mid-series I highly suggest you read parts one and two first. I believe that science proves the Holy Scriptures are correct.

***

Last week, I put forth the theory that what we know of angels and demons, and other supernatural creatures may present themselves as being made of and living in plasma the fourth state of matter in our three dimensional world.

This may get a little complicated. Let’s imagine, for now, the two dimensional world. We can take a three dimensional piece of paper (it has width, height, volume) and a three dimensional pencil, and we can create a two dimensional world by drawing on the paper. Now, if we were the same height as the graphite on the paper, we might perceive dots curves, lines and that’s it. Yes, this is a brief description but you could fill a whole book as described in part two of this series as to how everything would be perceived.

We know God exists outside time. We know angels existed with God before this universe was made and may exist outside time as we know it, too.

A two dimensional world surrounded by a three dimensional world, cannot possibly understand how big and vast our three dimensional universe is. It also exists outside of time as we know it.

If a three dimensional creature passes through or enters the two dimensional one, it can not be perceived correctly. Only certain phenomena would be visible and would not follow the known rules of the two dimensional world.

If supernatural creatures made of plasma, mainly exist in a four dimensional universe, (plasma, as we can observe it, does not obey the laws of our universe, which falls right in line with it following the laws of another bigger, more complex, dimension instead) what would they appear as in this one? Possibly the supernatural phenomena we do observe and can measure?

The big question is—How can we start thinking four dimensionally from phenomena that is only observable in our limited three dimension trapped in time? One way to start is to realize time is only a measurement relative to distance and location in our three dimensional universe. The answer isn’t easy, but it is one we need to explore to begin to understand how God’s supernatural creatures interact and make themselves known to us. Here is a link to Part 4.

Issue 105 – ‘Supernatural Sisters’ Psychic-Medium Cathy Roller Jumps the Shark…

By Kirby Robinson

…and rumor has it she ate the shark, too!

The EYE ON THE PARANORMAL wants you as a blogger!

Want to join the best team of paranormal reporters? Do you want your blog to get hits and comments? If so, come on over and blog for us as we have spots open. Contact: freeallspirits@live.com

Check out my recent radio appearance on Moebanshee’s Lair:

Cathy Roller Must Think She’s Sylvia Brown or Chip Coffey. Roller Caught Making Claims That Can’t Be Backed Up!

After our expose on Supernatural Sisters a/k/a Super Silly Sisters last week and a look at the viewership, not too many people watched the show. We got the normal blowback from the psychic defense league, which must be made up of all non-psychics, as they should’ve known we had more to say on this topic.

We stumbled onto this 2006 website built by Cathy Roller and the same data was shared on the Psychic Connection website. Both will be used to expose some deceptive actions.

http://www.freewebs.com/psychicconnectioncathyroller/

Cathy states:

From the beginning of time, some people have been born with the gift that is known as the second sight, the third eye, or the sixth-sense powers that bypass usual sensory channels of the mind and transcend mundane reality into the psychic visions and messages. 

I am one of those gifted people.

There’s more, but you get the drift. Notice how she’s attempting to set herself apart from the average Joe. No proof ever offered about her claims. She fails to address the issue that God warns us away from those who make these claims. The gifts that Cathy Roller claims to have don’t come from God but from the forces of darkness.

- The photo of Cathy has to be from the 1990’s.

Cathy claims that she has appeared on TV/Shows throughout the nation yet we can find no evidence of this. If she’s been on public access TV, which is likely, those appearances are more of an infomercial than a guest spot on even a local talk show.

Cathy never informs the reader about her accuracy ratings.

Additionally, Cathy claims to have read the stars. We must assume she is referring to celebrities --and what does that prove?

- She states:

In the past I have worked with police departments on murders cases and found missing children.

We ask what police departments? What are the names of the missing kids she found? None of that information is revealed.

- She claims that she has “taught many successful workshop through out the country.” Yet there is no listing of such events.

- She has a section on Candle Majick, which is unproven that it works. Even worse, she fails to mention God’s warnings against taking part in this sort of thing.

- She will charge you $100 for a phone reading and for $150, Ms. Roller will take you on a past life regression [there is no such thing] but she’ll be happy to take your money

Now being the great psychic, she claims to be, I really need to ask this question: Shouldn’t she have known that I’d find the abandoned website from 2006? She should have seen that I’m about to burst her psychic bubble even more.

http://www.cathyrollerpsychicconnect.zoomshare.com/

This is a website that she has let slip her mind [she has to have lousy spirit guides]. This one really does her in.

All of the information shared on the main page is pretty much the same as the first site. Observe the use of the lowercase i. Here’s a link to the blog and accompanying comments: http://www.cathyrollerpsychicconnect.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/212de0d4f6291e2dc7071863e86e1d04_44cd6fee.writeback

There are 9 comments. Pay close attention to the first two comments. Notice the wording, misspelling of the word investagater, and the use of the lower case i. Whoever posted this blog/page came up with the comments [busted!] but the most damning comment is the second. The case described here is the case that was featured on the show. What we saw on Supernatural Sisters wasn’t a new case but one from the past.

It’s bad enough for psychics to lie about their gifts. No psychic has ever solved a case, found a missing child, or done anything to help the world. All most psychics want is face time on TV, cold hard cash or your credit card number, and to blind the public to the truth.

Bad Bad Thing Award Goes to Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda – Self-Proclaimed Antichrist

By Kirby Robinson

Bad Bad Thing Award goes to:
Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda

Branding a child with 666 is not of GOD…

Anyone with eyes can see that for the most part the churches here in America and pretty much the  rest of the world  have sold out to the new age and the new world order. Many have embraced false doctrines of cult leaders and false teachers and have left behind the message of the Cross.

One prime example of this can found down in Miami, Florida with a cult leader named Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda. De Jesus calls himself the Antichrist and encourages members to have 666 tattooed on their bodies. The former heroin addict claims that in 1973 two angels came down from heaven to inform him that he was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ.

In this article he predicts the world will end on June 30, 2012.

http://digitaljournal.com/article/324201

Some informative videos:

http://www.staticbrain.com/archive/miami-preacher-claims-he-is-jesus/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn4nppx1cuE

The mainstream media hasn’t said much about the church due to fears of not being politically correct. They’re worried that if you go after one false teacher you might come after my false teacher.

The following video shows a mother holding down a very young child who appears to be in pain and crying out as he’s tattooed with the number 666.

http://www.whatsonthorold.com/news/mother-holds-child-down-while-666-tattooed-his-arm/5284

This cult leader is a sick and twisted man who serves not GOD but Lucifer. Jose, you have done a BAD BAD thing.

Do you know of a para-celeb, psychic, ghost hunter, demon chaser or false teacher who’s eligible for the award? You can take part by sending us a name and why you think they should receive the BAD BAD THING award. Contact freeallspirits@live.com for more information.

Joyous Tibetan Buddhist New Year (Losar) – February 11-25, 2013

Tibetan Prayer Flags

(CHAKRA) Losar, also known as Tibetan New Year is celebrated mainly by Tibetans for fifteen days. Losar commemorates miracles performed by Lord Buddha. Activities consists of rituals, dances, and sculptures are offered to drive out evil spirits and to protect and benefit all sentient beings. Celebrations end on Chotrul Duchen.

The main celebrations take place on the 1st 3 days. On the 1st day, a drink called changkol is made from chhang (similar to beer). The 2nd day of Losar is known as King’s Losar (gyalpo losar). Losar is traditionally preceded by the five day practice of Vajrakilaya. It often falls on the same day as the Chinese New Year (sometimes with one day or occasionally with one lunar month difference). Losar is culturally more related to Tsagaan Sar in Mongolia than the Chinese New Year festival. Although Losar is mainly celebrated by Tibetans worldwide, it is also celebrated by some Yolmo, Sherpa, Tamang, Bhutia communities.

Losar celebrations predates Buddhism in Tibet and can be traced back to the pre-Buddhist Bön period. However, Losar later evolved into an annual Buddhist festival which is believed to have originated during the reign of Pude Gungyal, the ninth King of Tibet.

The Chakra Team would like to wish all Buddhists and Tibetans a Joyous Losar and New Year in 2013.

Spectrophilia or Spirit Rape Phenomenon or Psychoses?

Warning: The subject material included may be offensive to some readers.

Author: Michael O'Brien, Special Contributor: Aanica Guess

In 1982 a feature film was introduced to the US theaters entitled, "The Entity." This was a story detailing Doris Bither's personal accounts of Spectrophilia or rape by spirit. For those who don't recall the movie, allow me to summarize it for you.

In Culver City, California 1974, Doris Bither, a mother in her mid thirties reported supernatural activity to Parapsychologist, Dr. Barry Taft. Doris' three sons, then ages 10, 13 and 16 and 6 year old daughter also made claims of supernatural presences. So often that her youngest children actually named some spirits they claimed to regularly witness.

The most significant spiritual account was presented by Doris Bither who made claims of incessant spectral rape. More specifically, ghostly rape by three entities in total. Doris claimed that two smaller entities held her down while a taller, more aggressive entity sexually accosted her on a regular basis.

In defense of Doris Bither, her sons and boyfriend did substantiate the attacks she consistently reported. In fact, her eldest son claimed being thrown across the room during one of these alleged rapes. More impressive would be that thirty plus university professionals and investigators documented countless instances of paranormal activity, visually, mechanically and photographically. Furthermore, there were numerous photos of Doris Bither's physical injuries as a result of these reported rapes.

While I agree there was substantial evidence supporting Doris' accounts, I also believe there was much evidence to speak to the contrary. Now, I'm in no way calling Doris Bither a liar, however, logic should always question what speaks to ones credibility. Moreover, the state of mind of any witness, so I'll do that and play devils advocate here.

My first example would be that Doris was an admitted, chronic alcoholic. As most of us are aware hallucinations can be commonplace in the later phases of this disease. What's worse, eventual psychoses has been fully documented. Secondly, Doris was a survivor of both emotional and physical abuse by several of her ex-partners. It was also reported that she suffered mental abuse by her parents. Perhaps these experiences alone made Doris somewhat susceptible to a victim complex. To add to that, conjectures of childhood sexual abuse were strongly suspected by university officials pertaining to Doris. However, those suspicions were ultimately unsubstantiated.

Here are other lesser known facts of Doris Bither and her family that I present for consideration only. Both Doris and her children reportedly lived in utter squalor in their Culver City home when university investigations began. Not a dilapidated home mind you, they simply lived in their own filth and little was done to remedy that. Not even under the eye of scrutiny. With that, one could easily suspect a deep depression on the part of Doris Bither. Again, as most of us are aware, alcohol is a depressant.

It was also confirmed that Doris had a terribly contentious relationship with all three of her sons. Curiously, her younger boys were smaller in frame and her eldest, taller and more aggressive. Much like Ms. Bither reported spectral sexual aggressors. [note: the author is not implying incest within the Bither family whatsoever]

Another interesting fact is that paranormal activity reportedly increased with Doris' alcohol consumption and almost ceased to exist when she was sober. This fact alone should prompt the most curiosity in my opinion. Lastly, there have never been any reports whatsoever of paranormal activity by any other residents of Doris' old Culver City residence that she and her family eventually fled from.

With that information presented, do you believe Spectrophilia is indeed a possibility? Is there such a thing as as rape by Incubus let alone spectral gang rape? Could chronic alcohol abuse have prompted both visual and physical hallucinations in Doris? Could Doris' accounts be nothing more than unspeakable memories and nightmares paired with sleep paralysis? Alternatively, could Doris' past trauma and chronic substance abuse have created her paranormal activity? Is it possible that Doris' life experiences were so profoundly impacting that she literally created her own poltergeist[s]?

Another question I've heard posed is, "Could Doris and perhaps some of her children have been psychic, essentially making their experiences together the perfect paranormal storm?" Inasmuch, "Could this entire ordeal have been nothing other than psychokinetic energy manifesting itself as poltergeist activity?"

I'm uncertain but listed below is a recent personal account of Spectrophilia that prompted this article. This is an interview with a woman who believes she has been sexually accosted for over two months by what she claimed was an, "unseen assailant."

For anonymity, we'll call this woman VB. Listed beneath this article are her accounts in Q&A form. MO is Michael O'Brien.

MO: How old are you V?

VB: I'm 34 on Tuesday.

MO: Well, happy birthday. Are you married V?

VB: No, I'm single.

MO: Do you live alone or do you live with a roommate?

VB: I live alone now. Well with the exception of my cat Murry. I inherited my grandfather's home and I just moved in there about two and a half months ago. Murry kinda came with the package I guess.

MO: For curiosity sake, how old is this home you inherited?

VB: According to my mom it's about 125 years old but I'd have to double check. I don't remember. I think that's right though.

MO: To the best of your knowledge has there ever been any documented trauma associated with your family home? Homicides, suicides?

VB: Not that I know of but my family has been kind of tight lipped about its history. Maybe that's for a reason, maybe not. Who knows but I really don't know.

MO: Do you consider yourself a religious person V?

VB: Ummmn,....no.......not at all.

MO: Excuse the sensitivity of this next question but have you ever been sexually abused or experienced any sexual trauma in your past V?

VB: I'd I prefer not to answer that.

MO: I'll respect that. May I inquire as to your educational level?

VB: I don't know why that matters either but I have a Bachelor's Degree in Special Education.

MO: To the best of your knowledge is there any history of sleep walking or sleep paralysis in your family?

VB: No...... No, wait......one of my uncles did walk in his sleep......even as an adult I think. Sorry bout that.

MO: That's okay. Do you currently or have you ever suffered from any mental instability?

VB: No, but in light if what's been going on in my house and the fact that I'm not being believed by anybody is causing me some instability. So ya,... ya, I've spent two and a half months crying my eyes out. That's a bit unstable I guess.

MO: I'm sorry to hear that but I need to ask this. We'll get to that other part shortly just allow me to clarify my last question. V, have you ever been clinically diagnosed by a licensed therapist or psychiatrist?

VB: Yes. Depression in my twenties. My fathers passing was a big issue for me.

MO: Mild or chronic depression V?

VB: In the middle of that somewhere I guess.

MO: Were you treated with medications or therapy? Or both?

VB: Both.

MO: Do you feel your depression has been effectively treated?

VB: Honestly? For the most part it comes and goes sometimes but it hasn't been so bad I think about going back for treatment. Well, until now. Until recently I...... never mind....just go ahead Michael.

MO: Do you abuse alcohol or take drugs, prescription or otherwise V?

VB: To be honest, I'm on a prescription pain medication for lower back problems from an accident and yes, I've started drinking a little more since my move. Especially since my move.

MO: What type of accident?

VB: Auto.

MO: Did you experience any head injury as a result of this accident V?

VB: Ya, a pretty good concussion but my back and jaw were hurt the worst.

MO: You said, "Especially since my move." Was this an exceptionally stressful move for you?

VB: Yes. My mom passed away about a year ago,...we weren't all that close at all......but anyway......that's why I inherited my grandpas house. So I'm still sorting some of that out. Plus I've always hated that house but I was forced to move in it due to financial reasons. That's screwing with me too and I think all of that along with the physical act of moving itself....things have been a little harder on me than I thought. But I suppose the things that are going on in that house are shaking me up the worst right now. I just don't need any of this. I didn't even think this crap was possible.

MO: V, binge drinking is considered four or more drinks at one sitting. How much are you drinking?

VB: Ya...... something like that.

MO: You do realize that a death and a move or relocation ranks in the top five for emotional trauma don't you?

VB: Yes.

MO: Now add to those substantial traumas binge drinking and pain medications. It makes for one potentially troubling mental concoction. Don't you agree V?

VB: I see what you're doing Michael. You're trying to make it look like I'm unstable or not thinking clearly when I'm absolutely not!

MO: V, you have admitted that you're fairly troubled at this point but no, no I am not. I'm attempting to offer our readers all the information I possibly can that will assist them in making a fair and educated decision or opinion about your testimony today. After all, you've got to admit, your story is somewhat difficult to digest.

VB: Okay....I.... Alright, I under... No, I get it. Alright. Let's just do this please.

MO: Thank you V. I appreciate your patience. Now if you're ready, please relay your story to our readers and I won't interrupt you unless I need clarification okay?

VB: Alright. I'll make it as quick as I can since I really don't care to repeat all of this again.

About two and a half months ago I moved into my grandpas house. Everything was fine... Well I was nervous about being in there and having to sleep there but everything was going okay. Four days later when I felt I was easing up, I went in the kitchen and realized my blue silverware rack wasn't in the kitchen drawer where I put the day before. It weighs a lot and I know I didn't move it into the living room. That's where I found it. Why would I do that? I wouldn't and didn't do that. Anyway I shook it off but not really. Yes, I did wonder if I did drink a bit too much so I went on with my chores. A few hours later....I really don't remember.....Maybe two-three hours later I went in my bedroom and saw something odd peripherally in my master bathroom. I went numb when I realized it was all the decorative pillows from my bed. All six of them were piled neatly on my toilet. That terrified me but when I realized the toilet seat was up, I freaked. I seriously freaked! There were no men living in my house! Well needless to say I left the house and didn't return till the next day. I slept in my car but I quickly realized no matter how scared I was that sleeping in there wasn't much better. So I reluctantly went back there. Besides its not like I could afford a hotel.

Anyway, nothing happened until about two days, well nights later. I was watching a movie in my bedroom and fell asleep. I didn't know what woke me up but I thought I heard something loud..... but I wasn't sure. As I tried to drift off I heard it again......loud banging sounds coming from what I thought was my dresser. Like my drawers were being opened and slammed shut. I turned on my light and realized that some of my private drawers were completely open! At that point I....

MO: I'm sorry. What do you mean by, "private drawers?"

VB: My panty and bra drawers. Anyway nothing else happened that night. I just thought maybe I dreamt it or imagined it by the next morning but I knew I didn't. Anyway the next night was the first night I felt that I was touched for the first time. I was asleep and I woke to someone touching my breasts. What really freaked me out was my arms weren't totally in my night shirt and it was pulled up to my face! It's like it was half on and half off! I don't know how but somehow I broke it's grip and I got away. Anyway I ran into the bathroom and hid for the night. I should have just left again. I don't know why I ran into the bathroom. Anyway I spent the night in there with the door locked and I tried to sleep in the tub.

Okay, so nothing happened for almost a week. It almost got to the point that I thought,.... "ya, maybe I have been drinking too much and maybe none of this crap was real." That is until I went to the market one day and came home unloaded my bags. As I did, I heard this loud deafening bang in the far of the house. I swear I looked forever but couldn't figure out what I actually heard! Anyway later that night I was watching TV and turned to look at the clock on my wall for the time when I realized my clock wasn't there! And it's a huge freaking clock Michael! What was there.......what was there....was my left tennis shoe hanging off the nail that my clock was supposed to be fu**ing hanging from! Don't tell me I didn't see that or missed it! Who wouldn't see a tennis shoe hanging from the fu**ing wall Michael?! Who?! Seriously...and I've yet to find my damn clock! And before you ask if it was me who did it in some kind of drunken stupor....realize I'd need a ladder to even reach that clock!

Anyway that same night I did Michael....I drank like a freaking fish. Judge me if you have to. I had to forget about all of that crazy s**t! A shoe on the wall?.....Really?...Really? Anyway I don't exactly remember going to sleep or when I did but I certainly remember waking up! On some level I must have known what was going on in my sleep because when I woke up I was already panicked! I was crying uncontrollably and hyper ventilating! My arms felt like they were pinned in back of my head and both of my legs were spread completely open wide! Almost to the point my hips were aching! It felt like I was being split in half! And for a few seconds I felt like I was being penetrated...but with a hand....a hand?.........fingers Michael?

Then...... just like that.....it was over....just that quick....it was done........

MO: What did you do then V?

VB: I crawled from my bed and locked myself in the bathroom again for the night and cried and cried and cried. I was paralyzed. I just sat there and shook and cried in my tub.

MO: What happened next V?

VB: Nothing.......nothing happened for almost a month. I mean.....ya.....there were some weird happenings around the house......but nothing like when I was attacked. I did have two extremely sexual dreams that I was confused and even disturbed by.....they seemed so real.........you know?...Then......ya......too scared to sleep in my room, I was sleeping on the couch.....that seemed to work.....and it happened again. I'm not gonna beat a dead horse so imagine what my last attack was like then multiply it by two. I know you don't want me getting to graphic. Anyway, that was it. I couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't take it. I was either totally fu**ing nuts or this was really happening to me. So I packed up and moved out.

MO: Where are you living right now?

VB: In a studio apartment. It's all I can afford.

MO: Have you thought of a house blessing or anything along those lines V?

VB: No.......I just really......I just......I just don't know Michael.

MO: Have you had any other occurrences since your last attack?

VB: No.....nothing.

MO: Do you plan on returning to your home V?

VB: No. I'm selling it. I'm done.

I'm certain the reader can tell at this point there was much of this interview with VB that was omitted. Either for time restrictions or graphic content.

Despite that, unlike Doris Bither, VB claims this, "unseen assailant," did not follow her to her new residence. If you recall, Doris not only claimed the entities followed her, but at one point she alleged one actually impregnated her. [side note: according to her doctors it was a ectopic or, "hysterical," pregnancy]

So, I'll leave it to the reader. You have the facts before you. Do you believe Spectrophilia is a legitimate phenomenon or a clinical psychoses?
