🕯️ 10 years ago, I received a call from a 93-year-old woman claiming her husband, George, was haunting her home. She explained that George had died four years prior but had a routine of lighting a candle for their breakfast together every morning.

👻 A haunted house could indicate either a ghost (a soul in purgatory) or a demon. It's crucial to differentiate between the two, as a demon can pose serious dangers.

🔍 Upon investigation, I remained skeptical and explored all possibilities. The woman was coherent and even had a video of the candle being lit. She believed George was in purgatory, seeking assistance.

🙏 I suggested having seven days of Masses said for George's soul. After the seventh day, the candle was no longer lit, indicating we may have helped him find peace.

⚠️ If you suspect something supernatural in your home, here are three things to avoid:

• 🚫 Do not communicate with the entity.
• 🚫 Avoid non-church experts like psychics or ghost hunters.
• 🚫 Don't seek advice on Google.

🕊️ Instead, remain calm and involve the church. Ask a priest to bless your home, as they can distinguish between a ghost and a demon. If it's a ghost, assist them in purgatory; if it's a demon, the church can command it to leave.

🛡️ Use sacramentals like crucifixes and holy water, as they protect against evil. The most important action is to be a person of prayer. A family Rosary is a powerful remedy for dispelling evil.

🏠 We want our homes to be places of peace, joy, and victory by living lives of grace.
