What can I do about moving Shadows?! Maggie Monday, March 29, 2010

Question:

Hi,
I was in my living room this evening, and kept seeing movement in my hall way out of the corner of my eye, almost as if someone was peeping around the corner. I started to feel really uncomfortable, so I turned on the hallway light, put on my glasses. Then about ten minutes later in plain sight, a large shadow shape that almost reached the ceiling , and couldnt be seen threw, and blotted out the light directly above it moved super fast across my hallway. I was petrified. I couldnt move, then it ran out again.

I am still to terrified to go the back part of my house. I almost left the house but didnt know where to go. I have spent the last several hours combing the internet for anything or what to do and waiting for my husband to return home from work. I cant ever remember being this terrified, the shadow thing hanging out in my hallway has a really ugly feel to it.

I dont know how to respond to this, it is completly out of my experience. I found the section on spiritual warfare and self-help on your web site to be enormously comforting, and I searched threw the other information on this sight, however as I have read, that thing keeps appearing and it is hard to stay calm.This is the most relevent site I have found, other than web MD after wondering if I was having hullucinations. I feel like calling 911 or calling my priest, or at least begging my husband to come home. But what can I say? I'll sound crazy. What should a person do in this situation?



Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM

Dear Maggie:

Baring any psychiatric issues, or natural phenomena that would explain it, it is possible that these shadows are a demonic visitation. Demons often appear as three-dimensional shadows.

I would advise going through our Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance linked below to be sure that you have your spiritual house in order. It is critically important to live a good Christian life as best as one can to counter these things.

Second, in our Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog, also linked below, there is a Household Hedge Prayer of Protection. I would advise praying that and any other prayers in the Catalog that are useful to you.

Thirdly, ask your parish priest to come over and bless your house.

If the priest is not willing to do that, or if he does do it and the shadows still remain, then perhaps your house should be blessed using the House Cleansing and Blessing Ritual we have linked in the Catalog.

If necessary, we can help you do this over the phone. We do conduct these house blessings over the phone.

We will be praying for you.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
