both stay in the home. What are you feeling?” I asked her.
She shrugged. “I’m not sure.”
“I encountered several entities. The old man is the most powerful. He has an oval face and a long nose and deep brown, almond-shaped eyes.”
“Is this the man you saw?” Matt pulled out a photo.
I nodded as I stared at the picture, then handed it to Cooper.
“Let me share more of my findings with you,” Matt said. “His name is Heath Nelson. He used to own this home and farm the land, but died during the confrontation in the back of the home.”
Silence fell over the room as we contemplated what Matt had revealed.
Finally, I said, “The minute I walked in your home I knew someone had abilities.” I pointed to Jennie. “You have psychic abilities and you attract these kinds of things.”
She stared, but didn’t respond.
“I don’t mean to scare you, but it’s just one of those things. I’ve had strange visions in this house. Now I know it’s because there are too many psychics here.” I attempted a chuckle to lift the mood. “With you, me, and Cooper… it’s causing the energy to be crazy.”
Jennie looked at me like she was confused and unsure of what to say.
I tried to explain more of what I’d seen. “I don’t usually see the spirits like this. I mean, they usually come through as clear as day. Anyway, I saw the girl being thrown into shallow grave and I saw the battle on this land between the two men.”
“What else did you see?” Matt asked.
“The back room… the dining area has a lot of dead people coming through. They just walk in a straight line through the room. It’s not good for them to be here. It’s not good for the dead or the living. It’s having a negative effect on you.” I pointed at Jennie. “It’ll give you a upset stomach, ulcers, and fatigue.” Everyone stared in silence as I continued, “I encountered Heath. He’s the elderly man who got psychical with us. He isn’t bad per se, but he can use the body and make it very painful for the person he decides to attach to.”
“I’m angry that he’s here. He’s not nice and I want him to leave,” Jennie said.
I nodded. “He likes the back bedroom. Initially he wasn’t very happy, but I think he’ll be okay with you now. Sometimes he can actually be endearing, he just hasn’t shown that to you yet. When he figured out we were here to get rid of him, he promised to be good. He’s attracted to this house, so he really doesn’t want to leave.”
Ben looked to Jennie.
“One more question about your dreams. You said they are vivid?” I asked.
“Always. I always remember them too.” She nodded.
I nodded. “Just as I suspected. Listen, no matter where you go, you’re going to open doorways.”
“You mean it’s Jennie?” Ben asked.
“She comes with a door. The dead are looking for help,” I said.
I started feeling guilty. Maybe I shouldn’t have shared so much information with them, but they needed to know the truth.
Jennie straightened in her chair. “I had a sad feeling when you were coming. I guess it was the spirits making me feel that way.”
I nodded. “The dead move in and form relationships with you. They don’t want to leave. Sometimes they’ll do jumping. That’s when they try to get inside your body. Good or bad spirits… it’s not good for the body, so don’t allow it.”
Jennie’s eyes widened even more.
I paused, then continued, “But that’s not all. There’s another entity that crawls on the roof and slips in through the windows. It wants to attach itself to you. It’s a demon.”
My heart rate increased, my stomach turned and sweat beaded on my forehead. This thing knew when I was talking about it.
“What can go wrong if it gets her?” Ben asked.
“If it gets in her, she’ll lose her mind.”
I felt Mindy’s stare on me when I answered the question. Was she wondering if I’d lose my mind?
“You have to leave, Jennie. She’s made it clear how much danger you’re in,” Ben said.
I shook my head. “She can’t leave. She just has to fight it off. Jennie has to set boundaries and not let it roam around this property or come into this home. You need to seal the home.”
“How do we do that?” he asked.
“Place salt all around the house, then sage inside the house.” They looked slightly confused, but I continued anyway. “I do
