True Haunting by Edwin Becker Omar Saturday, June 1, 2013

Question:

Hello, Brother:

Have you read the book 'True Haunting' by Edwin Becker? I have not, but in the book description on amazon the author claims that ghosts can not be exorcised and can cause physical harm to people living in their teritory. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks, and God bless you and your ministry.

Dear Omar:

This book is just another case of a person writing about something with no competence on the subject. This is not a "reporter's account" of events, but an accounting with an agenda, an attempt to explain the supernatural events. He fails completely on the score. 

To begin with, his primary "expert" is a psychic. No so-called psychic is competent in these matters. There are only three kinds of psychics: frauds, the deluded who think they "powers" but are actually tapping into natural abilities of observation (like the frauds do) and into their imaginations, and the demonic, where some real preternatural abilities are manifested, but sourced in the devil. 

The idea that a ghost cannot be cast out is proof-positive that this author, and his psychic sidekick are incompetent and uttering ignorant about these issues. 

First off, ghosts who cause problems are almost always demons, perhaps disguised as a human. 

Secondly, the is only one case I know of where a human spirit was alleged to possess a person. That was the Earling, Iowa case in 1928. The exorcist-priest reported that one of the spirits possessing the girl was her very evil dead father. This may have been a demon in disguise, but the point is this spirit was successfully exorcised. 

Thus, this book should be ignored as having any credible information about ghost, demons, hauntings, and how these things work.

God Bless
