Hey Granny;

Nice to hear from you. I hope you and yours are well!

Well, that is a tough question. I guess the best answer is that the best offense is a strong defense. It's hard to avoid some backlash, especially since it's struggled so long to embed itself in this lady's life. The longer we wait, the harder it'll be. Most likely, simply focusing on God (not sure of this woman's faith, if any) is the bast way to minimize a response. Giving it no recognition is the best course, to minimize a response. But, to some extent, it is unavoidable. It also HATES being recognized. Copius amopunts of Catholic Holy water will, at least initially, throw it off track. Follow up may be necessary, with this one.

As to the threat, yes, it was very scary. I actually froze (not literally, but out of fleeting fright), and was told it wanted me dead, and in no small way. That's the price I pay. I accept it. It can do nothing without Our Lord's permission. So, I give it no thought. Allegedly a home care aide had performed a voodoo ritual in the basement, and the wheelchair - bound former owner never even knew it. The woman was paid to help this elderly woman, who has since passed away, and did this evil thing in the basement, of numeroue homes - in both New York and Chicago. This infestation is terrifying. Fr. May have to petition the Bishop for a full blown Roman Ritual (of exorcism) to be conducted on the premises. Even I have never gone this far in any other case.

JimD: I hate to speak for another person, but I think davidswife doesn't want to do anything that may elicite a negative response, because of the kids... Is there anything she could do to keep the backlash from this entity at a minimum, so as not to possibly endanger the children?...

Sorry to hear you had to deal with being threatened, your a lot braver than some of us! 😊

Hi;

I just read that your kids were atacked. Now, I'm totally 100% sure it's the old boy. Please get that Catholic Holy water; now, as soon as possible. It's embedding itself in your life, slowly and targeting kids; a favorite demonic tactic.

I'm getting busy lately. Is Halloween or Christmas approachimg? Three cases solved, thank God, two more pending. One is the toughest I've ever seen. Your humble correspondent actually got threatened. I'm ok with that because it wasn't the first time, but when nobody is visible, even I get spooked. We must be close to liberation, praise God. Stay well. Dukes2352atAOL.com.

Hi;

This thing, which is what it is, is attached to you at some level, because it's following you from place to place. I actually (honestly) believed it wasn't bad, until I reflected a bit, and remembered my training. The oddity of appearance - it's the key, i.e. The black eyes.

Based on that, the small of smoke, and the attendant fera and chaos, I believe that it's the master of deception, i.e. Demonic. I hope I'm mistaken, but I doubt it. Test it out; the next time the 'fireman' appears use Catholic Holy water and the names of "Jesus and Mary". See if this engenders a reaction by the 'fireman', which will be tell tale and definative. I hope I'm mistaken, but after reflection, I do feel it's demonic. God bless you. Dukes2352atAOL.com.

i agree with all the poster here. The poor souls needs to move on and he chose you to help him. Try to ask your family again about the young boy. Also a suggestion, you might want to light a white candle for him and say a little prayer. I'm not saying that he will move on, but it might help him move to the light.

davidswife: I understand you're concern about having a medium come into your home...Well, now, that puts a different twist in... Although I don't think a good medium would actually draw anything else to you, why take a chance if you're uncomfortable...

My next suggestion would be for YOU to seek advice from a medium, or psychic, away from your home...It's possible that they may be able to give you some insight about what exactly is holding this poor guy here, and how to help him feel comforted enough to move on...

HMM all things to really think about, really.
[at] Miracles51031: I do know that he was just a family friend. Not a family member. No one has been able to just tell me the name of the young man. And the street that the house is on did change names in the 80's. So I am trying to figure out the orginal name. The library there is not very good or helpful for records.

I can understand why certain family members won't say anything cause they feel it is their fault or something like that. But it would help me to know more.

I am very weary of having a medium to my home. I have seen some on tv and have met a few, and read a lot on them. And I wonder if by allowing someone in that has a true open mind to the realm might unleash more things.
I have two very young children and both have been attacked by some paranormal "thing"
What are your opinions on that.
I do know lots of the paranormal world, or at least lots of theories. However when it comes to my children I feel like I can not move forward.

Thank you for your words ALL. Very helpful I TOTALLY MEAN THAT!

Davidswife, you said in your story "Also my grandmother told me a story. The very first house (Streamwood) in the 70'S had been on fire and lost a teen age boy. Which they all knew and it was someone's fault that he died in the fire." and that "Most people in my family won't tell me much about the young man."

Was he a family member? If so, that may be the reason he is staying with you. That and the fact you can see and hear him. But the familial tie could be a strong one. As everyone has said, he needs help moving on. The fact that there is guilt associated with his death could also be causing him to remain.

He could be stuck here because he wants to "punish" that person for causing his death, or that person can be holding him here because they cannot live with their guilt. He could also just want to tell them he doesn't blame them, but something is holding him here.

Someone needs to step forward and tell his story. This boy has to be released from this hell and be allowed to move on. Otherwise, I'm afraid, you're going to endure this for a long time. Granny mentioned a reputable medium. Good suggestion. Try to find one who doesn't hang out a shingle. They're out there. Please let us know what you find out.

This tragedy has been going on for way too long. Hopefully you'll find help soon. ❤

i agree with granny it seems restless and like its trying to tell you something about his passing, scary that it has stayed with you for so long kim makes good points in its possible relation to you, I also think it needs some reassurance and help moving forward. I admire your bravery I don't think id be as sane if I had something as scary as that making appearances my whole life!
Stay safe!

davidswife: Okay, it sounds to me like your entity is trying to tell you that the fire started in the kitchen, and spread to the bedroom, maybe where he was sleeping?...Or, he was caught in the fire, and that was the route he took before being overcome, by smoke or flames... How sad 😢...He probably feels the need to make you understand his story, since no-one else is being forthcoming...

Well, I think the best thing for you to do would be to contact a reputable medium to assist you in contact, and helping him to cross over... Reputable means they won't charge you, but may ask for a donation... Be careful of charlatans, they could make things worse... Check around and ask them for references... I know it sounds like a hassle, but it seems to me you'd like to be free of this...

Good luck, and please keep us posted... ❤

thank you very much for your thoughts.
[at] zzsgranny: the ghost with an outline of fire, is what I believe to be the teen age boy that died in a fire in the very first house (streamwood). They changed the title to FIREMAN which is some what misleading. The first title I picked was FOLLOW WITH FIRE.
[at] kimsouthO: I thought it might have been attached to my mother and I, because when we moved out on our own it followed us. However when I saw it in my new home of just 6 months with my husband, I too feel it is just me. I am not sure why it picked me. Maybe cause I was the only child to live in the house after the fire. I have set with my husband and tried talking to it. However no change. I am not as scared since I have entered my 20's.

Most people in my family won't tell me much about the young man. I feel that if I know more I can connect more with him. But I have no idea.

Thank you everyone so far.

I'm sorry that this ghost has been scaring you your whole life I know that I would be very frightened if a man on fire was following me to different houses. I do believe that if your strong (and you must be to have indured that) then you can help this soul to the light. I wish you much luck and blessings ❤Kalli

davidswife: I'm confused! 😲...Is this fireman a fireFIGHTER, or a man engulfed in flames?...I kind of think the latter, after reading your sory, but just want to make sure...

I agree with Kim, the entity is attached to you or another family member... In my opinion, since you are the one having the experiences, it's you...

Try to get this poor soul to the light... ❤

For some reason, this 'fireman' seems to be attached to you or someone in you family that you have continually lived with. He may be looking for an escape to move on to the next level.
Try telling him to move to the light, that the pain he endured does not have to continue and the Lord is waiting for him on the other side.

God Bless!
