A safe place for:
Those who have been troubled by the occult or evil spirits and are looking to find help and support; Ex occultists who are now Christians; and those still currently involved in some aspect of occultism (wicca, witchcraft, paganism, spiritualism, etc.) to ask questions and find out more about the Chirstian faith.
Was wondering what people here thought of the channel 4 documentary Interview with a Poltergeist?
For those not familiar with the story, it is an account of a young girl who was surrounded by strange paranormal occurences in her home in Enfield (UK) in the 1970's. Incredible eye witness accounts and things happening which would have been difficult for anyone to fake (even for an adult let alone a young child). Things flying around the house, strange noises, even accounts of the girl flying and speaking in another voice while keeping her mouth shut. Some, of course, will doubt the story, or anything supernatural for that matter, but even the sceptics on the channel 4 show seemed to struggle to provide explanations.
The one thing I do doubt though is this: That the "poltergeist" was actually a 'ghost'. The Bible calls these things demons. They masquarade as ghosts to serve the wider purpose of making people think that the afterlife means coming back as a ghost when, in fact, the Bible states that we are all appointed to die once then face God's judgement.
