Seguin Island is located at the mouth of the Kennebec River in the U.S. state of Maine. The lighthouse that currently stands on this island was built in 1857 and is the highest lighthouse in the state. While the lighthouse on this island has undoubtedly protected sailors from the dangerous rocky…
Anneliese went on a pilgrimage to San Damiano with a good friend of the family, Thea Hein, who regularly organized such pilgrimages to “holy places” not officially recognized by the church.[4] Because Anneliese was unable to walk past a crucifix and refused to drink the water of a holy spring, her escort concluded that she was suffering from demonic possession.[3] Both Anneliese and her family became convinced she was possessed and consulted several priests, asking for an exorcism. The priests declined, recommended the continuation of medical treatment, and informed the family that exorcisms required the bishop’s permission.[2] Eventually, in a nearby town, they came across vicar Ernst Alt, who, after seeing Anneliese, declared that she didn’t “look like an epileptic” and that he didn’t see her having seizures.[4] He believed she was suffering from demonic possession.[3] Alt urged the bishop to allow an exorcism. In September 1975, Bishop Josef Stangl granted Father Renz permission to exorcise according to the Rituale Romanum of 1614,[3] but ordered total secrecy.[5] Renz performed the first session on 24 September.
Once convinced of her possession, Anneliese, her parents, and the exorcists stopped seeking medical treatment, and put her fate solely into the hands of the exorcism rites.[3] Sixty-seven exorcism sessions, one or two each week, lasting up to four hours, were performed over about ten months in 1975 and 1976.[3] At some point, Michel began talking increasingly about dying to atone for the wayward youth of the day and the apostate priests of the modern church, and she refused to eat. At her own request, doctors were no longer being consulted.[3]
On 1 July 1976, Anneliese died in her sleep. The autopsy report stated the cause of death as malnutrition and dehydration from almost a year of semi-starvation while the rites of exorcism were performed.[6] She weighed 68 pounds (30.91 kilograms)
The bastards exist inside us
Death, illness and tragedy have long permeated the history of American insane asylums. Beginning in the late 18th century buildings that housed the criminally and mentally insane swept the country like a plague. Now, all but lost to history, is the brutality of these institutions. Torture and abuse all but flowed freely and time has yet to erase the multitude of horror that was brought down upon each surviving soul…
What are Orbs?
Orbs are a recently new phenomenon that have been captured with the introduction of digital cameras in the 1990’s. They were first thought to be malfunctions by the camera makers but to this day the manufacturers claim these “orbs” to be microscopic particles floating in the air. Orbs have been accepted, certainly in the psychic community, as real evidence of spirit presences whereby they are supposed to represent the essence, or soul of a departed spirit.
FACT - ORBS have appeared on camera on command.
FACT - ORBS have images and pictures inside them when you zoom into them.
FACT - ORBS also appear on video camera in daylight with no flash used, so it’s not just digital camera.
FACT - ORBS have been investigated by Dr Miceal Ledwith, that under controlled conditions showed that orbs are not reflected light but what is known in physics as ” fluorescence”.
FACT - ORBS have been also investigated by Dr Klaus Heinemann PHD of NASA and UCLA, experimental physicist, under controlled conditions using multiple cameras showed that orbs have intelligence when asked to appear on camera under the direction of the photographer.
When are orbs NOT Orbs?
Of course not every “orb” captured on camera is an orb. The camera “does not lie” as the old expression goes, but the camera can pickup other anomalies that can certainly look like orbs, and these variances are used by the skeptical community to pass off all orbs, as either being dust, moisture, or pollen grains and so on. I will agree that it is possible to capture dust, moisture, rain drops, snow flakes and other particles, even flying insects. However, from my point of view I am very lucky to know when there are spirit presences. I am very grateful to have the ability to communicate with them about their life whilst also giving me evidential communication of the afterlife.
Are you one of those who are looking for an answer to the phenomenon referred to as orbs? If yes, read on as this article will try to decipher if orbs have anything to do with paranormal or not. Transparent light balls that are commonly seen in photos taken by digital cameras, mostly at places considered haunted, are called orbs. But recent instances in which people have recorded orbs even in their bedrooms and bathrooms reject the haunted place theory. There are many who believe these light balls to have a spiritual basis while there are those from the scientific community who explain the existence of these bubbles or balls on the basis of dust or dirt particles coming in front of the camera lens at the same time shutter is pressed to take the photo.It is true that orbs have been there for almost a century now. But the instances of these white, transparent light balls appearing in photos has increased manifold since the arrival of digital cameras on the horizon. This is one fact that makes a mockery of the spirit or the ghost claims made by people. Those who say that the light balls are spiritual orbs say that these are ghosts that find a way to get represented on the photograph. These people buttress their claim by saying that more photos have these orbs when taken at haunted places than at homes and crowded outdoors. These spheres of light are explained as the best shape for the ghosts to manifest themselves in photographs as it takes least amount of energy in this manner. Spiritual orbs are spirits of human beings that remain in the atmosphere as they have been stuck here; trying it hard to detach themselves from the attachment they feel towards their relatives and friends. Thos who believe in this ghost theory say that it is in the hands of ghosts to manifest themselves in a more powerful manner as when one sees colored globules instead of transparent white light balls.
There is no dearth of people claiming orbs to be a paranormal activity. However, there are many who ridicule such claims saying that orb is nothing but a peck of dirt or dust sticking on to the lens at the instant photo is being clicked. But this principle has a flaw as it cannot explain the presence of dozens of orbs in a photo. There are some who believe that orbs are benevolent angels as they are guardian angels and are there to guide you in your life. You are not aware of the existence of these angels and they show up in your photos when they have a special reason to let you know about their presence in your life.
Believers in spiritual orbs say that spirits of people keep on wandering near their dear ones as they are not willing to move on to the next level of existence. However, there is no scientific basis or explanation to buttress the claims of this community of believers.
