House clearances often involve some detective work. When I am called upon to assist with a disturbance, the occupants of the property are usually more concerned with its effects than its origins. My approach, however, is rather different. While their attention is understandably focused on what they are experiencing, my priority is to investigate and uncover the underlying cause.
During these investigations, I am usually in an ‘altered state’ of consciousness, which can leave me feeling particularly vulnerable. For this reason, I always ensure that I am accompanied by someone I know and trust.
Before beginning any clearance, I take time to listen carefully as occupants recount their experiences. As they speak, I pay close attention to their body language, particularly their eyes. I rely heavily on my intuition and senses to discern whether they are being fully open and honest, as those seeking assistance may sometimes have played a part in creating the disturbance. Unfortunately, many people dabble in paranormal practices without fully appreciating the gravity of the potential consequences, especially when they disregard proper precautions and procedures. The paranormal is not a game, nor should it be treated as entertainment. It is an unseen realm, inhabited by a multitude of different energies, some benevolent and others considerably less so.
Sadly, many disturbances can be traced back to human actions, whether deliberate or inadvertent. Teenagers and thrill-seekers, in particular, may find themselves caught up in situations they neither anticipated nor fully understand. Fearing the repercussions, they may be reluctant to confide in their parents or guardians, choosing instead to stay silent rather than reveal what happened. In such circumstances, I often ask for an opportunity to speak with them privately, giving them the freedom to share what they might otherwise feel unable to disclose in the presence of others. It can be astonishing to discover the lengths some young people will go to for excitement, curiosity, or simply the desire to push boundaries.
Once I have identified what I believe is the underlying cause of the disturbance, I begin clearing and cleansing the premises. Throughout this process, I recite my prayers, asking for blessings and protection for the home and everyone within it. My approach is firm and assertive, but never arrogant. I remain mindful of the potential power of the ‘darker’ energies and the importance of treating such matters with the utmost respect and caution.
I do not underestimate their power, and neither should you.
