************************************************
Due to the growing popularity of information relating to haunted houses and "ghost hunting" there are a lot of myths and misconceptions revolving around house exorcisms and who is able to render these services. The following is an effort to correct some of these misconceptions and offer some real information about who is qualified to clean your home of negative entities.
Myth#1: Catholic clergy are the best qualified to perform exorcisms.
For starters, it is usually extremely difficult to find anyone in the church to take your problem seriously, never mind finding anyone who is actually “qualified” to deal with the problem. Most churches don’t even consider house/property haunting as something legitimate. Those that do may be able to deal with general haunting or some psychic disturbance but cannot handle more dangerous situations such as phantoms.
Myth#2: If I am being harassed by dark entities in my home, I should call a psychic into my house*.
This may or may not work, depending on the level and ability of the psychic and their particular Universal station. Many people do not truly understand the meaning of “psychic”. Everyone is psychic to some degree. Most people who advertise themselves as “psychics” are simply more sensitive to psychic/metaphysical phenomena than others. But just because a person is sensitive (can see, hear or even “channel” ghosts, senses presences or can see into the past/future) it does not necessarily mean that they are equipped to deal with banishing spirits. An “exorcist” is a specific kind of being who has been given special gifts by the Universe, (and has trained extensively) enabling them to command spirits to do their bidding. That is their Universal station. Much like a deaf person could not be an effective opera singer, a person--psychic or not--who lacks the specific “equipment” (as well as extensive training) cannot be an effective exorcist.
*A special note about inviting people into your home: You absolutely MUST be sure that the person/s you invite into your home have your best intentions in mind! Inviting someone into your home who has a private agenda, who wishes you ill-will, or who just doesn’t take what they’re doing completely seriously (or who really doesn't know what they are doing!) can actually cause the reverse of what you want to happen--their very energy can wreak havoc in a space that is already in turmoil and can even create a dangerous situation
Myth#3: If I am being harassed by dark entities in my home I should get in contact with a "ghost hunter".
Due to the popularity of all things paranormal, "ghost hunting" has become a fad. "Ghost Hunters" and shows/groups like it are capitalizing on this fad. These shows are gimmicks. No ghost is stupid enough to pose on national TV. Nor are they stupid enough to stick around and reveal themselves to someone with a camera, just because that person likes to call themself a paranormal investigator. Entities whose intent it is to cause harm will remain hidden, regardless of whatever fancy, expensive "paranormal equipment" may be brought in to try to find them. These groups cause more harm than good. All their attempts at documentation really does is create a disturbance. The presence of such people in an already tumultuous environment will only add to the turmoil and can cause a negative situation to become downright dangerous (see Myth #2).
The only true paranormal equipment is in the mind, body and spirit. People who belong to these "ghost hunting" groups rely on physical investigative equipment and are not spiritually equipped to handle true paranormal investigation and exorcism--no matter how much "training" or experience they've had documenting paranormal phenomena. Mere interest in the paranormal does not qualify one to be a true paranormal investigator . Because of their perceived knowledge--based on "documented research" and a bunch of airy-fairy opinions of so-called psychics and "sensitives"--they often give explanations for certain paranormal phenomena that is far from the truth, and people who are looking for help riding their home of a negative influence do not get the help they need. Victims of psychic attack end up being placated by fluffy, false explanations and are forced to continue living with energies that are actually causing them harm.
"Ghost Hunters" and other shows and groups like it are merely sensationalizing things of a paranormal nature. They cause more harm than good. People who need help don't get any. To shows like "Ghost Hunter" from Zakhuur personally, You're full of shit. If it were up to me, you would all be unplugged.
Myth#4: Anyone can perform an exorcism if they have read up on how to do it first. I can exorcise my own home!
NOT TRUE! This way of thinking can be EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. There are many publications out there nowadays claiming to be able to teach the average interested person how to perform exorcisms and house blessings (again, based on the sensationalism of all things paranormal). There are many people out there who think that just because they have a little sensitivity and maybe know a couple of things that it makes them qualified and able to learn about and perform exorcisms. This could not be farther from the truth! As we have already stated above, it takes a special type of person to be able to perform exorcisms. Interest and psychic ability are simply not enough! Even being endowed with these gifts does not necessarily make a person qualified to perform an exorcism. Someone who is young and inexperienced, though they may be extremely talented and possess all the necessary gifts, can often create a dangerous situation if they have 1) not been properly trained, 2) are undisciplined and subject to emotionalism (their own or the emotions of others) or 3) just plain don’t have the proper experience and tutelage. Someone who is able to effectively undertake such a task by themselves must have years of experience (generally under an older, well-seasoned “exorcist”) and a very high level of discipline. No matter what anyone tells you, there is no way that a person in their teens or 20s has the life experience or discipline to effectively perform an exorcism by themselves.
Important things to keep in mind:
A person who is truly qualified to perform effective exorcisms is a servant of the Universe. This means that they do the work because that is what they have been charged to do; that is their job, their purpose. Most do not even consider themselves “exorcists” per se, but more like police or officers. They are, in fact, psychic policemen, charged with the job of removing “criminals” (evil spirits, dark entities, psychic nuisances etc.) from your home. The very presence of such a person causes a reaction in an infested area, as the negative entities scatter or hide, trying to make it seem as though nothing were happening. Irregardless, that person is still able to see and remove those entities, and prevent them from coming back. Many psychic police will bring with them a team of investigators/trainees to assist them as well.
The true exorcist, or psychic policeman, is not interested in social interaction or fame. They are there to do a job--not hang out and chat, not stay for dinner, not become your best friend. They are very professional about their job. They will consult with you and answer any and all questions before the exorcism/cleaning. They will involve you in the process and teach you how to keep your home/property clean. They will follow up after the session is done to make sure you are doing everything correctly and will be available for any additional questions or concerns you may have. They will only need to clean the area once for it to be completely clean. This is very important. Anyone who tells you they will have to come back two or three or more times is not effective and should be avoided. It only takes one time for a true exorcist to clean a space. After that, it is up to the custodian of the home to maintain the sanctity of the space and not invite any negativity back in.
Last, but not least, the psychic policeman does not do what they do for personal profit or gain. I cannot stress this enough. There are many people out there claiming to be exorcists who charge hundreds, thousands--even tens of thousands!--of dollars for their service. A true Universal servant does not charge a set fee! If someone claims that it will cost you $35,000 to clean your house (or even $500!) run like the wind and never look back. Those who are true psychic policemen know that they are performing a needed service and are doing what the Universe has charged them to do. The financially disadvantaged need these services just as much as those who are financially stable or affluent , and lack of money should not hinder them from receiving help! It is perfectly reasonable to compensate for the (actual) transportation costs of the person you are employing and then give a donation for their services. Even stating a suggested donation is completely acceptable (remember, a servant has to survive on what they receive for their services!) but if they are demanding a set amount of money they should be avoided. If there is no suggested donation amount, you give what you believe the service is worth to you, or what you are able to give. Keep in mind that you have been provided a service that you could not have completed yourself!
In closing, be careful about who you invite into your home. Toying with negative entities is like playing with fire--if not handled correctly you can get seriously hurt. A serious and well-equipped exorcist will be able to answer all your questions truthfully. They will be completely professional. They will probably have people working for/with them or apprenticing them. They will be older, disciplined. They will be able to offer you references to others whom they have helped. They will involve you in the process and teach you how to maintain the sanctity of your home after the service has been given. They will only need to clean the area once for it to be completely clean. These people are out there--you just may need to look a little deeper to find them!
