MY NAME IS RYAN, AND I

WAS A PARANORMAL

INVESTIGATOR.

I STARTED IN THE PARANORMAL

AT SCHOOL.

WE HAD AN ENGLISH PROJECT.

I CHOSE PARANORM

PHENOMENON.

I DECIDED TO COLLECT MY

EVIDENCE FROM A SOURCE OF

BOOK, AND IT SHOWED YOU HOW

TO MAKE DOUSING RODS.

AND THE SPIRITS WILL SWAY

THEM BACK AND FORTH TO

ANSWER YES OR NO QUESTIONS.

AND I ALSO GOT A OUIJA

BOARD, AND I HAD A VIDEO

CAMERA.

HE HAD A BIG FASCINATION

WITH THE PARANORMAL FOR A

FEW YEARS.

I TOLD HIM TO LEAVE IT

ALONE.

IT IS DANGEROUS.

Reporter.

THE FIRST TIME WE WERE AT

MY CHURCH, AND THE CHURCH

WAS BUILT IN 1889.

AND WE FIGURED IF IT WAS

REALLY OLD, THERE IS

PROBABLY A LOT OF ACTIVITY

THERE.

THE FIRST QUESTION I ASKED

IS IF THERE ARE ANY SPIRITS

HERE, AND THE DOUSE RODS

MADE AN "X," WHICH MEANS

YES.

WE ASKED QUESTIONS, AND WE

FINALLY GOT TO, ARE YOU A

NICE SPIRIT.

AND THE DOUSING RODS, WHEN

IT ANSWERED, THEY PULLED

APART SO FAST THEY LEFT RED

MARKS ON EACH SIDE OF MY

NECK, LIKE BLISTERS.

WE WENT TO THE CHURCH

CEMETERY, AND I STARTED

ASKING QUESTIONS WITH THE

DOUSING RODS, AND WE HEARD

THIS SNAPPING NOISE FROM THE

WOODS.

IT WAS AN IMAGE OF A GUY

WALKING OUT,@T

SHADOW.

IT STARTED WALKING TOWARDS

US, SO WE RAN.

COMMUNICATING WITH SPIRITS

GOT TO BE LIKE ADDICTING.

I DID IT, LIKE, DURING EVERY

SECOND OF MY SPARE TIME.

THEY WERE CUSSING ME OUT AND

TELLING ME TO DO CRAP TO

OTHER PEOPLE.

I SAW THE DEMONS AND PRETTY

MUCH A LOT OF THE

REFLECTIONS, AND THE

REFLECTION OFF OF THE TV AND

MIRRORS AND WINDOWS.

ANYWHERE THERE WAS A

REFLECTION, THERE IS MOST

LIKELY GOING TO BE SOMEBODY

LOOKING BACK AT ME.

I JUST HAPPENED TO GO TO

CHURCH ONE DAY, ON A

WEDNESDAY AFTER I HADN'T

BEEN FOR SIX MONTHS.

I STARTED TELLING ABOUT THE

PROJECT, AND SHE STOPPED ME

IN MID-SENTENCE, TELLING ME

HOW THEY'RE NOT GHOSTS,

THEY'RE DEMONS.

HOW DANGEROUS IT COULD BE.

AND THE ONLY WAY I COULD

ESCAPE THE DEMONIC BONDAGE

WAS THROUGH THE BLOOD OF

JESUS CHRIST.

I WAS JUST SITTING THERE

WHEN SHE STARTED PRAYING FOR

ME.

I COULDN'T HELP IT, BUT I

JUST KEPT GETTING ANGRIER

AND ANGRIERMENT AND SHE

LOOKED AT ME AND SHE WAS

LIKE, WHAT ARE THEY TELLING

YOU.

THAT CREEPED ME OUT AND I

KIND OF ENDED IT.

I WAS SCARED TO DEATH.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME, I

JUST BLASTED THE MUSIC TO

TRY TO CLEAR MY MIND OF

EVERYTHING THAT WAS

HAPPENING.

BUT THE DAY GOT STRONGER

UNTIL I FELT LIKE I WAS

INTOXICATED.

I FINALLY GOT HOME, AND MY

MOM HAD WOKEN UP 30 SECONDS

BEFORE I ACTUALLY DROVE UP

TO THE HOUSE.

AND SHE FELT LIKE SOMETHING

WAS WRONG.

AS SOON AS I TOOK A STEP IN,

I SAW MY MOM, BUT THEN MY

VISION COMPLETELY JUST FADED

OUT.

I LOOKED BACK AND THERE WAS

JUST, LIKE, THE DEMON.

IT WAS MORE CLEAR AND JUST,

LIKE, EVERY DETAIL OF HIS

BODY AND EVERYTHING WAS

JUST, LIKE, RIGHT THERE.

AND HE JUST LOOKED AT ME,

AND THEN HE DISAPPEARED.

BUT I KNOW WHERE HE WENT.

HE WENT INTO ME.

IT WAS TRULY THE MOST, LIKE,

PAINFUL, AGONIZING FEELING

I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY

LIFE.

I JUST LOST ALL AND COMPLETE

CONTROL OF MY BODY.

I COULDN'T BREATHE.

I COULDN'T SEE.

I MEAN, I COULDN'T MOVE AT

MY OWN WILL.

I REMEMBER HEARING MY OWN

VOICE THAT WASN'T MINE.

IT WAS A REALLY DEEP, SONIC

VOICE, BUT IT WAS COMING OUT

OF MY MOUTH.

I REMEMBER LOOKING AT MY MOM

AND GOING TOWARDS HER, AND

AS SOON AS I TOUCHED HER, I

JUST STOPPED.

I WOKE UP TO RYAN JUST

ABOUT SCREAMING AT THE TOP

OF HIS LUNGS, SOMEBODY HELP

ME.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS

GOING ON.

IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT.

SO I COME RUNNING DOWN THE

HALL AND FOUND HIS MOTHER

AND HIM AT THE FRONT DOOR.

BOTH OF THEM HUGGING EACH

OTHER.

HE HAD THIS HEAD DOWN

AGAINST HER.

HE SEEMED HORRIFIED.

ME AND MY DAD SAT DOWN ON

THE COUCH, AND HE WENT TO

EXPLAIN THE GOSPEL TO ME

BEFORE I ACCEPTED CHRIST.

AND MY FACE JUST STARTED

DOING THESE WEIRD MOVEMENTS,

AND JUST LIKE MOVING AND

TWITCHING AND EVERYTHING.

AND THEN THE PUPILS OF MY

EYE GOT BIGGER.

DISTRACTIONS STARTED

HAPPENING.

MY DOG STARTED MAKING

NOISES.

AND I SAID, YOU KEEP YOUR

EYES AND ME AND LISTEN TO

WHAT I'M TELLING YOU.

HE SAID HE FELT A

PRESSURE ON THE BACK OF HIS

NECK, AND THAT'S WHEN I TOLD

HIM, I WAS LIKE, DAD, YOU

DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE

MESSING WITH.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW STRONG

THESE THINGS ARE.

I SAID NO, THEY DON'T

KNOW WHO THEY'RE MESSING

WITH.

WE JOINED HANDS.

I KNEW I HAD CHRIST WITH

ME.

I FELT LIKE SUPERMAN WITHOUT

KRYPTONITE.

I ADDRESSED THE DEMONS.

I COULD LITERALLY FEEL HIS

PRESENCE BEHIND ME.

AFTER THAT, THERE WAS JUST A

WHOLE DIFFERENT FEELING IN

THE HOUSE.

AS SOON AS HE ASKED ME IF

I WANTED TO ACCEPT JESUS

CHRIST AS MY PERSONAL LORD

AND SAVIOR, I SAID YES LIKE

THERE WAS NO TOMORROW.

I LED HIM THROUGH THE

SINNER'S PRAYER, AND HE

OPENED HIS EYES, AND HIS

PUPILS AND EVERYTHING WERE

NORMAL.

I HAD THIS OVERJOYFUL

FEELING.

I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN HOW

GOOD IT FELT TO BE FREE.

WHAT GOD CAN DO IN SOMEONE'S

LIFE IS SO MUCH MORE

POWERFUL THAN WHAT A DEMON

CAN DO ON EARTH.

I KNOW GOD IS WITH ME,

WHEREVER I AM.

SO HE IS LOOKING AFTER ME.
