Houses that are haunted seem scary to most people. I remember once when my husband and I were considering purchasing a house to restore it. It was a historic house that had most recently been used as a senior living home. A very uncomfortable feeling came over us as we took a look around, but we tried to stay analytical to estimate the restoration costs. But, then I started seeing dark shadows move across the halls and dart through rooms. Finally, we couldn’t take it anymore and ran out.

I understand when people are afraid of ghosts or negative energy in their home. It is uncomfortable and sometimes scary. But a recent depossession provided new insight on ghosts.

A month ago, I was asked to do a remote house depossession. For many years, the house had a ghost that appeared as an older woman, but the tenants had not been bothered by her presence. She seemed friendly. But a new tenant had moved in, and the ghost made him uncomfortable. The tenant tried to ignore the ghost, but she grew bolder, and one night she entered his bedroom and told him to “scoot over.” That was too much for him! He slept on the couch that night and in the morning told his landlord he was moving out.

The landlord called me and asked if I could do an emergency house depossession. She wanted to know if I could do it remotely, since she wasn’t able to find anyone locally. I said yes, and later that day got to meet the ‘ghost of the house.’ The ghost was an elderly woman who was waiting for me with her ‘ghost’ bags packed. The ghost said she knew the tenant and landlord didn’t want her to remain and was ready to move on. The ghost recalled living there with her husband and raising her children, who were now grown and had children of their own. Her recollection of fond memories made me see her a ‘person’ instead of a ghost. A person without a body. But her plans were to move into another house! I told her that wasn’t in anyone’s best interest. In order to continue her life’s journey, it was important for her to move to the next realm. Without a body, she wasn’t experiencing the life lessons that are necessary for her soul’s growth.

After she left, I shamanic journeyed to the spirit realm to talk with my spirit guide. I wanted to confirm that she was gone. She was waiting for me in the spirit realm with my spirit guide! (It seemed that she was always one step ahead of me.) Everyone agreed, including her, that she had indeed moved the next realm and then the angels took her away. But, my spirit guide recommended that angels go to the house to remove her residual energy, so that the tenant wouldn’t sense her presence any longer. I watched the angels descend into the house and cleanse the negative energy. Afterward, they infused positive energy by symbolically dropping flower petals.

I knew it was a powerful healing when not only the landlord called to thank me, but the tenant as well. The tenant, who had never seen a ghost before, said the most powerful aspect of the whole situation was the feeling he had when entering the house. He said he had expected the negative energy to permeate the house, but instead he walked into positive energy that was so intense, that he felt a natural high all day long.

The healing affected the landlord, the tenant (who ordered several more healings for himself and family members) and the ghost. It shows how we are connected – whether we have a body or not.

Blessed journeys!
