People often react strongly when confronted with the supernatural. For many, the unfamiliar realm of the unexplainable can spark fear and confusion. That’s where my team and I step in—to help individuals discern between genuine paranormal occurrences and everyday issues manifesting as ghostly phenomena. Sometimes, however, what seems like a supernatural problem is actually rooted in real-life struggles that people are reluctant to face.
A recent case illustrated this point vividly. A man reached out, desperate for help. He claimed that a dark and malevolent energy had possessed his wife, drastically altering her behavior. Despite seeking help from various healers and kahuna, he had found no relief. Each healer had charged exorbitant fees, draining his financial resources with no positive results.
When the man contacted me, he recounted the same story he had told others. I began by asking a simple question: did his wife travel frequently? He confirmed that she did—she spent two weeks every month at an Ashram in California for personal spiritual training with a guru. He had not mentioned this detail to the previous healers because they had never asked about her travel habits.
I probed further: “Two weeks each month at the Ashram?”
“Yes,” he replied.
“And she receives one-on-one training there?”
“Yes,” he confirmed.
I then posed a question that would shift the entire perspective of the situation: “Sir, I believe your wife is having an affair. Rather than acknowledging this, you’ve convinced yourself that an evil spirit has taken hold of your home.”
“But her personality changed so drastically!” he insisted.
I explained that what he was witnessing was not a change in her personality but her true character being revealed. The realization hit him hard. Overcome with emotion, he began to cry, saying, “Everything in this house, I built for her with my own hands! I don’t understand how this happened.”
I listened compassionately as he expressed his anguish. After he finished, he offered me a wad of money from his wallet as compensation. I declined the payment, understanding that his situation was about more than just financial transactions. My hanai brother, Paul Smith, a skilled psychic medium, accompanied me that day. His insights and guidance provided comfort to the man, and I believe we left him with a glimmer of hope as we departed.
This experience underscores an important lesson: not everything is as it seems. Many people attribute ordinary problems to supernatural causes, often as a way to avoid confronting the real issues in their lives. A drafty wind in your home might simply be an open window. The creaking noises could be the house settling, and flickering lightbulbs might just need tightening.
When faced with issues that seem supernatural, it’s crucial to first consider practical explanations. Sometimes, the problem is not otherworldly but rooted in everyday realities. Avoiding the truth by attributing it to the supernatural only delays addressing the real problems that need resolution.
In summary, while the supernatural can be intriguing and even frightening, it’s essential to approach such claims with a critical mind. Distinguish between genuine paranormal phenomena and everyday issues that may masquerade as supernatural disturbances. By facing real-life problems head-on, you can address them more effectively and avoid unnecessary fear and expense.
