Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

I am not part of any religion although I was born into Christianity. I know now that merely being part of a religion and attending services does not make you a true believer in Christ. You must truly be thirsty for knowledge and for acquiring a real relationship with God through prayer and through living a righteous life.

I have doubted the existence of God many times in my life. Had it not been for a certain experience I went through when I was 19, or 20 years old; I would probably have become an atheist, or something of the like.

At that age I started becoming interested in the occult. I bought books on witchcraft and occult tools to be able to conjure up demonic spirits in an attempt to have them work to make my life better. I wanted money, cars, power, etc.

I also used the Ouija board (which is not a game by the way, but a dangerous tool) to contact different demons. I knew this was wrong, and I knew this was a great sin against God, but at the time I didn’t care as I was just a casual believer, but not a true believer in God.

With time, I started to feel a variety of unusual things happening. I would constantly feel something pull the back of my shirt but when I turned around there was nothing. I started to feel like someone was always watching me and a sense of fear started to develop around me all the time. I immediately thought to myself that the demons were causing all this because prior to meddling in the occult, I never had these feelings or unusual things happen.

Things began to get worse. When I would go to sleep I would wake up feeling something on top of me holding me down and I couldn’t open my eyes or speak. At the same time I felt the horrible sensation of my life being sucked out of me, almost as if I was fading away into death. I don’t know how else to explain it but its the most horrible thing I have ever felt. Minutes after that the entity would stop the attack and I would be able to get up and be in my five senses. I was terrified and I knew a demon had attacked me. I told my family about this but they didn’t believe me. I didn’t tell them that I was into the occult though, so they thought I was going crazy or something.

The attacks would happen every time I would go to sleep. I was afraid of going to sleep! On one attack, I actually felt my body rise into the air and I felt my feet touch the ceiling of my house which is 9 feet high. On a different attack I heard the demon whispering in my ear some crazy language that I did not recognize.

I got to the point to where I knew I needed to do something before things got worse. I remembered that in the bible, the disciples would cast out demons in the name of Jesus.

On this occasion, I was in my room with the lights turned off and I was in bed and getting ready to go to sleep. My computer screen was off but the pc speaker has a small green light that stays on when it is powered on. So there was a little visibility in my room, very little though. Against the wall in my room I could see what looked like shadows flying wildly back and forth. Seconds after I saw that, a dark, dark shadow, darker than the other shadows and darker than the darkness in my room, zoomed into the corner of my room and was just hovering there. I said to my self what the heck is that! I started getting scared at this point. The shadow flew directly over on top of my head and hovered there for a while and then I couldn’t see it anymore. Immediately after that, I heard footsteps coming from the hallway towards my room and then in my room walking directly towards me. My legs were separated about a foot from each other and I actually felt when this demon stepped in between my legs because the bed in that spot caved in! I was terrified and I covered my face with my blanket. I didn’t know what to do but I was petrified and didn’t move a muscle. I started praying to God and asked him to forgive me for my sins and for contacting these demons in the first place. I promised that If he stopped this demon for good, that I would never again have anything to do with the occult. I literally prayed myself to sleep.

The next morning I woke up feeling a sense of peace, and the fear that was always present was suddenly gone. I thanked God for this and I burned all the witchcraft books and Ouija boards, as well as all the other things I had from the occult. I have never to this day, been attacked by any demons or seen anything unusual since I asked god for forgiveness and asked him to stop the demons.

These demons would later attack three of my family members who didn’t believe me when I told them about what happened to me. They were terrified as well. I wont tell you the specifics of what happened to them because then it will make this email too long for you to read but, this rules out any possibility that it was all in my head or that I was suffering from some disease or mental disorder because it happened to 3 other people. We completely rid ourselves from these demons by going around our home room for room, and rebuking these demons in the name of Jesus Christ. They have never bothered us again to this day.

This experience has completely shattered in my life any doubt that God and Satan do really exist and I have witnessed it first hand.

You can keep believing that God is made up and even rule me out as a liar or someone with mental problems but what I have told you is 100% true my friends. There is a God and if you would truly try and seek him, not religion, you will find him.
