As
insanity
envelopes
our
world,
Christians
are
under
attack
from
every
possible
angle.
That
includes
the
so-called
paranormal
world.
I
was
talking
with
an
old
friend
the
other
day
and
I
told
her
about
my
new
book,
Boneshakers, and
about
my
website,
www.jeffpatty.com,
and
how
they
deal
with
the
paranormal
from
a
Biblical
perspective.
That’s
when
she
began
to
tell
me
about
two
different,
frightening
paranormal
experiences
she
had
when
she
was
younger.
The
first
happened
when
she
still
lived
at
home
as a
young
teenager.
She
said
that
she
had
gotten
a
book
about
witchcraft
and
the
dangers
of
it,
from
a
friend
at
her
church.
She
said
she
had
read
some
of
it,
but
it
was
too
scary
for
her
to
read
it
all.
After
she
went
to
bed,
she
couldn’t
go
to
sleep
because
of
an
uneasy
feeling
that
had
come
over
her
that
evening.
As
she
tried
to
go
to
sleep,
she
noticed
something
out
her
window.
The
shadows
seemed
to
play
with
what
little
light
there
was
outside
that
night.
Something
just
didn’t
look
or
feel
right
to
her.
As
the
fear
grew
in
her,
she
turned
away
from
her
window.
But
as
she
looked
into
her
room,
she
noticed
the
shadows
moving
and
taking
form.
Fear
struck
her
deep
inside
as
she
watched.
Slowly
the
shadows
began
to
form
and
take
shape.
She
can
remember
four
or
five
figures
that
formed
and
began
to
move
towards
her
bed.
She
recalls
them
being
tall
and
slim,
and
very
dark,
featureless.
She
also
remembers
them
having
long
fingers.
She
said
that
she
couldn’t
move,
no
matter
how
hard
she
tried,
she
couldn’t
move.
Later
she
would
be
told
by
her
mother,
and
others,
that
she
was
dreaming,
but
she
says
it
wasn’t
a
dream,
and
was
as
real
as
anything
she’s
ever
experienced.
In
her
experience,
as
the
figures
slowly
glided
across
her
room
and
got
closer
and
closer,
she
began
to
scream.
She
may
not
be
able
to
move,
but
she
could
scream.
But
no
one
came
to
her
rescue.
Then
she
said
that
she
remembered
what
her
pastor
had
told
her
one
time:
if
you
will
say
the
name
of
Jesus,
and
ask
for
his
protection,
Satan
can’t
touch
you.
So
she
began
to
ask
Jesus
to
help
her
and
say
His
name
over
and
over.
She
said
the
entities
stopped
just
as
they
were
about
to
grab
her,
and
pulled
away.
After
a
few
seconds
they
disappeared.
When
she
got
up
the
next
morning,
she
noticed
her
throat
was
sore,
and
her
voice
weak,
from
all
the
screaming
she
did
the
night
before.
When
she
told
her
parents,
they
said
they
never
heard
her
scream.
They
also
didn’t
believe
her,
and
told
her
she
was
only
dreaming.
First
of
all,
I
believe
it
was
demonic
in
origin.
Second,
I
believe
that
either
the
demonic
forces
muffled
her
screams
(and
she
didn’t
realize
it)
or
they
covered
her
parents’
ears
so
they
couldn’t
hear
her.
Her
second
experience
was
years
later,
after
she
was
married
and
had
a
young
son.
She
took
him
and
his
friend
to
the
Crescent
Hotel
Ghost
Tour
in
Eureka
Springs,
Arkansas.
Apparently,
once
they
got
into
the
tour,
as
they
and
others
took
pictures
along
the
way,
they
noticed
orbs
around
my
friend.
And
the
orbs
seemed
to
increase
in
number
as
the
tour
went
along.
At
one
point
she
said
her
tour
guide
told
her
that
he
needed
to
cleanse
her
before
she
left,
because
he
was
afraid
that
some
of
the
“spirits”
might
follow
her
home.
First
of
all,
if
her
tour
guide
was
anything
like
the
one
I
had,
he
was
probably
steeped
in
New
Age
belief,
but
I do
believe
entities
can
grab
hold
and
follow
someone.
At
one
point,
she
also
took
a
photo
of
her
son
and
his
friend
sitting
on
the
stairs,
both
looking
the
same
direction
to
their
side.
She
didn’t
really
think
anything
of
it
at
the
moment,
as
she
was
just
taking
pictures
of
the
area
that
they
were
at
in
the
hotel.
Later
she
asked
them
about
the
photo,
and
they
were
confused.
They
said
they
were
talking
to a
little
girl
sitting
next
to
them
on
the
steps,
but
there
was
no
one
else
in
the
photo
but
the
two
of
them.
By
the
way,
a
little
girl
died
from
a
fall
down
the
stairwell
decades
ago
in
the
Crescent.
She
said
she
was
so
disturbed
by
all
of
the
pictures
that
she
destroyed
them
soon
after
getting
home.
It
was
a
frightening
and
disturbing
experience
for
her.
I
believe
both
of
these
experiences
were
demonic.
Why
they
happened
to
my
friend,
I
don’t
know.
I
believe
she
was
a
Christian
at
the
time,
at
least
the
latter
experience.
But
based
on
scripture,
I
don’t
believe
they
were
friendly
or
innocent
in
nature.
Her
experiences
aren’t
in
my
book,
which
was
just
published
recently,
because
we
only
talked
the
other
day,
and
had
been
out
of
touch
for
quite
a
while.
I
asked
her
if I
could
use
her
experiences
and
stories
in
the
future,
maybe
even
as
an
update
to
my
book.
I
believe
more
people
are
under
demonic
attack
than
ever
today.
And
I
believe
we,
as
Christians,
need
to
put
on
the
whole
armor
of
God,
and
know
what
we’re
up
against.
That
was
the
reason
I
wrote
Boneshakers.
To
open
people’s
eyes,
and
prepare
them
for
what’s
here,
and
for
what’s
coming.
