What would you do as a Paranormal Investigative Team do if you were called in or summoned to try to do any exorcism? We have been approached to help in now two different investigations that the person requesting our help has truly felt as though they really needed an exorcism here.

The first one that requested our help was from a young woman who wrote to our team and requested any kind of help that we felt that we could provide. She told and wrote to us of the different strange things that were happening to her and that no one would even give her the time of day. That she had contacted local authorities, the police and the like because of the strange things happening in her apartment and only to her.

Granted most if not ALL of my team here are very highly religious people. Most if not all are also non - practicing in which I don't feel that there is any problem with that though. I myself have a very strict Catholic upbringing background and I DO attribute that background to the reasoning that I do not attend church NOW.

ALL of our equipment has been blessed by our Spiritual Minister that is a very dear friend of mine that is also an associated member of The RIPS. She told me from the get go when we first met how important this WAS in what we did and I truly do believe her also. We do pray upon entering any place of investigation plus we also say a prayer upon our departure as well..... which I do stand strict upon here for reasons that I have witnessed. I had a man of our team just totally flip out and become ........ I dunno.....?? " POSSESSED"?? He ended up in a mental ward for quite sometime here, sad but true.

I DO believe in a higher being but when ever I did feel or thought the need to converse with a GOD then I would rather go out into the woods on a long hike and talk to him directly. I have written several entries on how infamous religion does play into my feelings and those of my team here as to how we do interpret organized religion into this what we do ........ here. And these entries that I have written about on our website were actually influenced by my dear aunt who is still alive and has been a nun since the tender age of 13. HER views on this I have written about on our website. http://www.the-r-i-p-s.com/thebibleandspirits.htm

NOW......... for this poor woman I have had contact with a very highly religious sector of Paranormal Investigators and they hopefully are helping her here now as we speak. GOD I sure hope so. Although there ARE what we should all be aware of and that is ....... "haunted people".
The second one is quite sad to say the least here. We have a case where we were called in for a very young girl that was witnessing alot of strange things and we truly do believe that her parents for one and the influence of MOST around this poor girl attributed to this misconception. I CAN'T write any details here in particular about this poor little girl here....... because of breach of confidentiality here........ and we have yet to do this home again but will soon.

BUT....... I will tell you all this ....... that this poor little girl was very convinced and also scared to death...... when her mother had taken her to one minister who told the mother that this little girl was possessed. Another minister or person of the cloth also told this family with this little girls knowledge that they DID need an exorcism!!!!!!!! AHHH but the mother didn't seek out any priest so to speak of but sought out the help from us here.

I really hope that the one woman that sought out our help has gotten the appropriate help from the group that I did send to her. And as for the little girl I KNOW that during this investigation that we did make an valid impression on her as well as helping her parents help this poor girl as well. Just wondering here how many of you PI's have come across these situations? It's times such as these that I wish that my dear aunt was capable of traveling and could come along with us here now. HAD we had such requests say .......... 15 years ago then I KNOW she could have therefore been beneficial to helping these people out then. .......................... Kay
