Thin veil between worlds at Halloween Joe Tuesday, October 21, 2008

Question:

Hello Brother. I would like to know if it is really true that the "veil" is thin between the "worlds" at this time of year. Exactly what does this mean?

I had some negative, unexplainable things happen to me that went on for about a week leading up to Halloween many years ago, in 1993. It involved something coming into my room at 3:00am every night and staying for roughly one half hour. I had one of those trick Halloween door mats that make a scary sound when you step on them set-up in the doorway of my bedroom and it would go-off each night at exactly 3:00am, and then again at 3:30am. I was not imagining it because I was living with my parents at the time and this annoyed them; they thought I was getting up to go to the bathroom and stepping on the mat; but when it would happen, I was laying in bed. I left the mat in place after the first instance because I wanted to see if it would reoccur, and it did for several nights in a row.

I got a very negative, scary feeling as if whatever it was hated me and wanted to hurt me. The most intense of these visitations was at 3:00am on Halloween night. The thing, whatever it was, stepped on the mat again and again, over and over, as if it was trying to scare me. I must admit, I was very scared, but I just prayed silently and eventually it went away.

One strange thing is that it came back that morning at around 6:00am, because I was sleeping on my stomach and I heard a strong, clear, distinct voice in my head that said "If you value your soul at all turn around now!" I did so, immediately, and I felt and heard a rush of wind, as if whatever had been hovering over me was frightened and took off quickly, leaving a vapid, sulfurous stench behind.

This was Halloween morning 1993; I was 23 back then. I am 39 now and it has not bothered me since. Could this have been a demonic attack due to the "veil" being thin at Halloween? Is it possible that the voice I heard that morning was my Guardian Angel? Thanks, Brother.



Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM

Dear Joe:

There is no such thing as the "veil between the worlds of the living and dead" being thinner at Halloween. This thought is the belief of the pagans who originated these practices.

The experience you describe may have been a demonic attack for whatever reasons. If nothing has happened since then I do not think there is anything to worry about.

As for the voice that warned you, without more information I would have no idea about it. I am not sure why your soul would have been in jeopardy if you did not turn around. It could have been the demon talking to get you to turn around. Who knows? It doesn't matter much now. I would put it behind you and not worry about it.

There is one thing for sure, whatever was happening to you then had nothing to do with some "thin veil". Demons can manifest anytime they want, at whatever time and place that suits their purposes unless prevented by God. They are spirits and are not dependent upon any material thing in this world to manifest. And there is no veil between the material world and the spirit world that thickens and thins to allow or not allow spirits to cross over.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
