Questions from visitors and group members

How do you know for sure if an evil entity may be pursuing one of your friends and won’t let go?

When an evil entity is pursuing someone you can bet it is for a reason. The main reason behind most demonic attachments is that the victim has deliberately or unexpectedly invited these presences into their lives. Often, it is the result of dabbling into the paranormal without proper guidance or knowledge. However, it is also possible that the victim has a negative frame of mind that attracts low level entities (not demons) to their energy field.
How to know? First there is always some sort of break in communication. The person may appear to distance themselves from others or may drastically change personalities.

The victim may experience the feelings of being followed, as well also auditory phenomenon ( hearing things). Aspects of their life will become chaotic. They will have poor sleep habits as negative entities have a fondness for causing disturbing as well as horrifying dreams.
The main goal of the entity is to wear the individual down emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Once they have caused enough conflict between the person and their family as well as friends, the victim is left isolated, frightened, and weakened physically, emotionally and spiritually. Possession can take place.

These are the most common symptoms, but there are also many more. If you need any help the group know. Some of the members of CTPRI have dealt with exorcisms for over 35 years. If you would like to contact us, contact us here.

Why do some spirits refuse to move on? Why do some not know they’re dead?

The reason that spirits sometimes become earth bound is up for grabs.

1. The death could have been traumatic and the soul may still be experiencing some form of shock and does not except their death, or the spirit is totally confused (especially if the death was quick or violent) and do not even realized they have passed.

2. Some people are not ready and I mean literally not ready to leave this life as they know it, so they refuse to move on. They haunt their usual favorite places. Visit homes of their friends or stay in their homes. They just refuse for the time being to except their own death.

3. Some souls may not have the option of the white light and they refuse to dwell in a lower dimension. They are tormented and haunt the cemeteries and the living. They grow very bitter and their anger is satisfied by disturbing the living. These types of spirits are the ones that haunt people and houses.

4. Some souls have unfinished business. Such as a message for a loved one or they wish to stay awhile to help their grieving families. They do this by staying around their family and let them know that they are still around by maybe leaving a certain smell of their favorite perfume or other things to let their loved ones know that they are there with them.

5. Other spirits come and go to deliver messages.

6. Some stop by to visit once in awhile just to say “hi” I am here with you and not gone forever.

What equipment should I use to investigate with?

In general, most equipment is good for investigations. I’ve gotten some of my best shots with a disposable 35mm camera and my best EVP with a junky old tape recorder with no external mic. So, in my experience all equipment is good and will get the job done. To put it bluntly, when there is paranormal activity the camera on your cell phone will pick it up!

I was curious about the sizes and shapes of apparitions. Are full bodied apparitions 5 inches tall or are they generally their living size???

There is no true size chart when dealing with energy. Typically, a spirit will usually manifest to it’s true size of itself when it inhabited the physical body. Some people have confused the size of a spirit manifesting because there are many stages that a spirit goes through while materializing. What it depends on is what stage did you happen to capture the spirit on film or with the naked eye. Sometimes people think they have captured something negative because the features are distorted. What has happened in most cases is the energy was still in a state of defining itself. If they had captured it maybe a few seconds later they would have gotten something more human looking.
