The House That Hated People
Date: Autumn, 2007
Location: Salem, New Hampshire
Historical Background: A lovely farmhouse over 100 years old, situated near a
schoolyard. The owner bought the property about 3 years ago as an investment
and began renting it out immediately. She soon discovered there was something
terribly wrong with the house. Structurally it was sound, but a darkness seemed to
permeate the inhabitants. Each tenant was suddenly struck with the worst luck
imaginable. One family was struck with major illness, another also suffered major
illness, to the point of being incapacitated to work. Another suffered loss of job and
break-up of marriage. A successful legal firm moved in, only to find all its business
dry up in six months, forcing them to close shop. The last tenants, struck down by
illness, loss of job and tensions within the family, which had not existed before
moving into the house, left in the middle of the night, leaving their belongings
behind. Whenever the owner would come to the house to work on it, she would
feel uneasy, convinced she was being watched. She would see dark shadows out
of the corner of her eye and would always try to have someone come with her so
she wouldn’t be alone in the house. She became so worried about renting the
house out again that she called us in to investigate.
Findings: The team had to make two visits to the house. During the first visit,
we did a walk through and took pictures and recordings, but captured nothing.
However, the heaviness and feeling we were being watched was palpable. Upon
entering one of the rooms in the attic, we experienced on our thermal thermometer
a severe drop in temperature. As each member of the team entered this small
room, we could feel what amounted to a concentrated ball of energy in the middle
of the room. Each of us, including the owner, were able to reach out our hands
and feel this mass of energy. Our shamanic training has given us the ability to
dissipate and ground this type of energy and once this was done, we were able to
make contact with the spirit of a male who had been feeding off the dysfunction
attached to the house which included child molestation (due to the proximity of the
school nearby) and the abuse done by him to his elderly mother. Over the course
of two visits, we were finally able to release his spirit from the house.
Conclusion: As soon as we released the spirit, the owner noticed a marked
difference in the house. She no longer feared going there alone and felt it was now
a homey, inviting place. As of this writing, she has rented to a family with children
and there are no problems with the new tenants.
atmosphere in the house began to affect the living tenants, creating illness,
loss of jobs, etc. This spirit was kept strong because he was able to which
