EXCLUSIVE TRUE EXPERIENCE REPORT

the SUPERNATURAL
By Robert Wolfshead,
Occultist, Writer and Dark Artist

..Now a lot of people ask me about my supernatural or paranormal experiences, being the public figure that I am despite having been witch, researcher, occultist,and problem solver for all things unusual with 20 years of experience. I by no means have the key to all aspects of the realm that lies beyond, it would be sheer arrogance for me to claim otherwise, but I would like to share some of my thoughts, opinions and experiences with you, as I feel this is a field that deserves far more attention than it has been given!

..My first paranormal experience with an entity or energy force, whatever you will, was as an infant. I grew up in an a large English Farmhouse that was built in the early C17th century (Approx 1605 / 1610). A family story is that many times my mother woke up in the night to hear a baby crying, she of course immediately thought it was me, following the soundfollowing the sound of the noise she found it was actually 3 rooms away from where I was peacefully sleeping in my cot and also she saw what many people now term as Orbs floating around me! This story provoked a deep interest in the paranormal, which I pursued over the years.

..As the head of a South West England (UK) Paranormal Investigation Group for over 8 years, it often fell to myself and my team to prove or disprove the evidence of entities; energies etc in peoples own homes, as well as numerous other sites of interest. My role as a medium and witch was an important aspect in my work, upon investigation of a new case many factors have to be examined.

..Now lets us say for example that the owner’s residence has been plagued with cold spots and strange light patterns on one wall in particular. The immediate question is of course why? Is this something or merely explainable through natural causes? These events lead to the owners being convinced that there was the presence of a malignant spirit. When entering the building I was asked to examine the entire house, especially the upper floor hallway where the majority of events centralised according to the statements of the distressed family.

..The cold spots and strange patterns of light, similar to that of a distorted face, were in evidence, though during the space of the conversation all events seemed to come and go at random. Within the space of a few minutes of careful examination I was able to offer an explanation. It was actually quite a simple process, the cold spots where a result of poorly fitting windows that drew in a draft to a particular point due in part to the construction and atmospherics of the house. The dancing lights that had been the greatest concern to the family, where soon solved with the closing of one door, illustrating that it was light refraction across two mirrors, the distance that separated said mirrors and the room’s alignments allowed light to travel over 50 feet creating the patterns and causing a very disturbing image to “manifest” over the effected wall.

..With the explanation given to the family another occupational hazard was shown, whilst they were greatly relieved, the disappointment of it not being a genuine haunting was more than apparent. But this is a simple fact of life, not a major occurrence and they had to confront the problems that they were facing in their own lives without a cushion or a third party to blame all their woes on!

..To address a very important and current issue regarding investigations. I could talk to you about the failings of many supposed professional devices for paranormal research etc, that are so easy to get hold of for your usage, but please be aware many do not have the level of precision necessary to achieve accurate readings, they are at the end of the day only a guide in most cases unless you have access to very expensive equipment. I have to say the one thing many forget is that the brain and logical reasoning are your best weapons to proving or disproving an occurrence. Technology may work very well or may give you a very false impression of reality. I hardly need to mention the numerous cases of electromagnetic fields caused by electrical equipment such as air conditioning units two walls away from the point of reading that have been responsible for so many misdiagnosis of a situation, at the end of the day it takes a process of logic to find the answer. Of course other factors have to also be taken into account. From jumping mice to floor boards naturally contracting/ expanding, through to faulty water pipes and underground springs.

..Now it appears so far that I am taking a very dismissive attitude to the paranormal field and the supernatural, however... nothing is further from the truth. I have been witness to numerous events during my lifetime that have no scientific explanation and no evidence to suggest they were anything but genuine.

..For example, I have personally witnessed activity that includes levitation of objects, destruction of objects and yes I do mean plates etc being thrown across the room and smashed to smithereens, I have seen wallpaper mutilated by an unseen force. Now what I have found to be the key is first to observe then act after you have fully processed all of the information! Who was in the third room, is their a chance of another person interfering with the situation, natural events (trains, earthquakes) etc. Once you have looked at all of this you can go from there.

..I know that most of what I have written seems so logically based coming from a self professed Occultist and Solver of all things mystical. So let me take a moment to explain myself roughly 2 in 20 events I am called in on now are of a mystical nature, that means there are 18 that can be easily explained! Yes of course at the risk of sounding like a crank here someone like myself who has these abilities will feel different things from others, enabling me to have an edge when examining cases, it is just how the world works!

..I remember several cases that I investigated that really were in my personal opinion a genuine haunting, we had all the evidence before our very eyes as well as testimonies from many witness. These were really severe occurrences, several of them involving previous exorcism attempts which only seemed to accentuate the problem. But why would an exorcism make the situation worse of course is the obvious question? Now I will give the answer that I have found to be true both by my own experiences and those of many others, if the entity is not of the particular religious persuasion that the person that is performing the rite shares, surely conflict will arise and stir the proverbial hornet’s nest. Personally I look at every case in all aspects both of this world and the other side due to my gifts and abilities.
To illustrate this one example of a case that I was involved in, in a small town in Dorset England, centred around one C17th dwelling. Now the house had been known as being “haunted” for over 200 years.

..The history was that a man had hung himself within the building, after committing many criminal deeds, ranging from robbery to murder; the crimes were recorded but never attributed to any person. It seems from the crude press of the time and local spoken records that he gained a conscience over his deeds and thought that ending his life was the best course of action. The elderly couple that purchased the property where plagued by a presence, plates where smashed, furniture was destroyed, wall paper was scored. So they first contacted a priest from the dioceses who blessed the house and attempted to remove the spirit, this failed miserably.

..It actually seemed to increase the occurrences and making them more violent. In desperation they then contacted one of the remaining few Church of England Bishops that is still authorised to perform exorcisms. After a lengthy discussion with the couple he agreed to perform the rite, he journeyed down complete with holy water, bell, book and candle and performed the banishment.

..All was quiet for two weeks and then the occurrences returned with greatly added furyiosity, not only was the damage to the home and its effects continuing once more, the owners then became personally subjected to a series of attacks almost nightly, ranging from welts and bruises through to deep scratches on their skin drawing blood. In desperation they where compelled to look outside their own religious beliefs for the solution to their problem. It was of course hard for them to come to that decision, being staunch Christians, but they could see no other way for life to return to normal. Myself and a group of other practitioners of Witchcraft were called upon to help.

..The procedure was actually very simple, the entity was lost and confused and merely wanted release. Within a few short minutes we learned his name, and his reason for remaining in this world. His guilt over his crimes seemed to compel him to remain in that house. But once we assured him that he was not chained to the scene of his crimes and there was a place for him to go to and to find peace, he departed immediately!

..So despite all of the efforts of the Christian church all that had happened was misery and pain for both the living and the dead. I personally have an extreme distrust for exorcisms; I have been involved in numerous cases where the wellminded ideas and idiotic behaviour of the individuals has resulted in far more pain for all parties to do with the case!

..I am not here necessarily to make people question their faith, I have my own and that is how I work, the only thing that I can say is having lived in France for a while now there are many dual standards with the Christian faith. You only have to peruse the photographs that I have taken and you will see the extent of the disrespect that some people have for the dead, mutilated and broken gravestones are common place in this country. For my own opinions I am not comfortable with the fact that this can and does happen let alone the fact that, many graves are dug up, the remains are cremated and the gravestones are pulverised and turned into hard standing for pavements or building material !!!

..This in my professional and personal experience brings a whole host of otherworldly trouble! Having only lived in this country for just over a year I have so far been called upon over fifty times to deal with genuine occurrences, of course I have also attended many that weren’t, as we all do that are involved in this type of work, but the treatment of those that are no longer with us seems to be a huge contributory factor within this field and raises the odds of an occurrence hugely, individual histories aside!

..There are a few questions that I would raise for all of you that have an interest in the supernatural and spirits; do you actually stop to consider there may be a human character behind most of these events that you have investigated? It is all very well and good to have the evidence that you have gathered, but what happens when you leave the investigation site? If you have indeed proven the existence of life after death by your findings, do you just leave it there and let that entity stay forever unhappy, vengeful or confused? Or do you just see it as some form of tape recording that is being forever replayed? For me myself I have seen too much to say that in many instances that I have witnessed that, there is not actually an intelligence and emotion behind these events, these are conscious beings or spirits of some form!

..That aside I welcome the huge uprising of interest in the paranormal but all I ask is that anyone who approaches this field, have a conscience and treat things with respect. Many of the concepts and practices that I mention within this article are covered in greater depth within my forthcoming publication “Grimoire Noir”, on Black magic and its use though history to modern times. It is I hope a publication that will set a landmark in the field of witchcraft. For myself... personally gone are the days of the misconceptions that led to the collaboration of A E Crowley and Gerald Gardener that that produced a neo pagan Christian hybrid religion, it is time to look at the unseen realm with older and wiser perspectives that are shown through genuine and original texts!
