We recently heard of a case where an eight year-old girl's 

aunt died of lung cancer and since the young girl was so 

close to her aunt, she told everyone to call her by her aunt's 

name, insisted that her aunt's clothes were hers, and began 

stealing her father's cigarettes (her aunt died of lung cancer 

from smoking). At 33, the girl, now a woman, still likes

to go by her deceased aunt's name. She asked us if it's 

possible she could be a medium for her deceased aunt. We 

told her the following.

What you are likely experiencing is called spirit possession 

or attachment. Instead of going to "the Light" when she died, 

your Aunt (her soul) chose to stick around. Souls choose to 

stay for various reasons, such as to watch over loved ones, 

because they're afraid of "hell" (especially common with those 

personalities who were very religious), or to feed addictions.

Though she probably means well, at the very least, your Aunt 

is draining your energy. We recommend reading "The Unquiet 

Dead" by Dr. Edith Fiore. This is an excellent book on the 

subject and an interesting read. You'll be surprised to learn 

how common possession is. In the back of the book is a great 

script we've used many times to gently send lost souls to "the 

Light."

Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation floating around 

out there about this ghostly topic. A certain very well-known 

psychic who, for years has been making the rounds on TV talk

shows, claims that there is "...no such thing" as possession. 

Her simple, dismissive statement about this serious and often 

misunderstood subject is an injustice to the ground-breaking 

work done by researchers like Dr. Edith Fiore, Irene Hickman, 

Dr. William J. Baldwin, Dr. Shakuntala Modi, and others.

Moral of the story: Unless a seer is an expert in the area they 

comment on, it's best to be careful about what you accept from 

them as truth. Even the best psychics do not have all the answers 

and are unable to provide absolute truth 100% of the time because 

they, like everyone else, sometimes have trouble putting aside 

their human "filters." Everyone has their own unique fears and 

defenses, along with their own unique personal belief systems.

Possession, though not nearly as dramatic as the exaggerated 

scenes in the Hollywood movie "The Exorcist," is very real and 

common. However, most attachments are just lost souls, like 

hitch-hikers, and simply need to be directed "home."
