In 1977, in London, England, the Hudson’s sisters would not believe that the psychic game they played almost caused the already impoverished family to ruin.
Their game attracts evil spirits. It lives in Hudson's home, torturing and intimidating the children at home, and tries to possess her younger sister Janet Hudson.
This haunted incident in the small town of Enfield is the most well-known ghost incident in the UK in the 1970s, the "Enfield Haunted Mansion Evil Incident".
Later, under the resistance of the American exorcist "Ed and Rowling Warren", the demon named "Valak" was expelled.
Later, a director named Wen Ziren made this story into a movie [Calling the Soul 2].
Until recently, a film that revealed its origins [Nuns] reappeared, allowing us to understand the ins and outs of the whole event.
Of course, it is enough to scare the audience, but for ordinary people, how to avoid this kind of situation is the most important thing.
Fortunately, the Warrens who successfully drove away "Valak" left valuable experience.
01
Ghosts and Demons
In the Warrens' theory of ghosts and gods, "ghosts" can be roughly divided into two kinds of spirits: human ghosts and demons.
Of course, the Warrens are real, and they are by no means a film fabrication. (Explain again!)
In their research and field "experience", the couple discovered that ghosts are a relatively small type of harm.
Of course, ghosts are similar to our impressions.
In Ed's words: "There was a tragedy before this life, or it died suddenly, or suffered a severe injury; or the ghost is very nostalgic for something in the world and refuses to leave."
Like the unjust dead ghosts and earth bound spirits in our impression, they all belong to this category.
Generally speaking, you want to encounter such unlucky things like smashing ghosts. In the United States, it has to be that kind of old and remote residence.
Therefore, it is not without theoretical basis that the wilderness in the horror film routine "coincidentally" catches up with the disaster of blood and light.
And if you want to encounter such strange things, you have to have the same strong emotions as ghosts.
For example, suicidal thoughts will attract suicidal ghosts; babies will attract women who die due to dystocia and so on.
Similar to Eastern legends, the greater the grievances and the greater the malicious ghosts, the greater the harm to humans.
Simply imagine that a person with a hundred years of negative energy is next to you...
There is also a situation where ghosts want to talk, they will find ways to attract human attention and solve their own problems.
For example, in October 1972, when the Warrens dealt with the haunted incident at West Point Military Academy, a ghost named Greer wanted to confess to the military.
It caused commotion by stealing personal belongings of high-ranking officials and releasing them elsewhere.
As for ghosts, the Warrens summarized this: Ghosts are passive entities with limited abilities.
Their activities are like a cycle: appearing, communicating, and disappearing.
They can only make human beings understand their own existence, and they are more concerned about their own problems.
But just like the [Calling the Souls] series, the scary ghosts can be counted with their fingers.
For the Warrens, the devil is their biggest problem.
For a country with rich imagination like our country, it may not be appropriate to simply divide the spirit body into ghosts and demons.
But for the Warrens, this classification is also explored. That is, from the vicious ghost to the devil.
Human ghosts are relatively mild compared to demons, and humans may disappear when they are scared, but demons take pleasure in it.
They like to constantly create an atmosphere of terror, playing with, torturing, and intimidating people who are entangled.
Wherever they go, there will be a foul smell similar to sulfur, feces, and rotten flesh.
Among them, there will be upside-down crosses, urine, feces and other blasphemous and filthy behaviors and things, and the demons use this to declare their sovereignty.
At the same time, they use the environment (like hallucinations, cooling, smell) and even project fear in their hearts to oppress those who offend its territory.
The devil is also a master of illusion users, so it's not a problem for ghosts to hit the wall or something.
At the same time, ghosts can appear as long as they have energy, but demons and evil phenomena can only appear when there is no light (they are afraid of light), and most of them are at night.
It is said that people who have seen demons with their own eyes describe: "They are darker than natural black."
In order to carry out their own purposes, demons will attack humans from both body and mind.
They are not afraid of human beings, only reciting scriptures, mentioning God, Jesus, and other sacred deeds; using holy water, crosses, and other sacred objects can make them terrified and fearful.
Ed has a very interesting statement about this-"The phenomenon is inseparable from religion. It is because demons react to religious things. People may not believe in God, but they are afraid."
At the same time, as demons that have survived for hundreds or even thousands of years, they possess the powers that know the past and the future.
Ed Exorcist often encounters the first roar of possessed persons: "Ed Warren, I know who you are!"
And they will premeditately threaten and destroy the exorcists to prevent them from exorcising them before they act.
To say that the purpose of the devil is nothing more than to mutilate and take people's lives, the more the better.
This is also the reason why [Nun], [Call of Souls 2], and [Annabel] are all demon in the end.
Of course, the demon "Valak" in [Calling Souls 2] and [Sister] is more fierce. It is the 62nd of the 72 demon gods in the legendary "Solomon's Key", and it can also be regarded as a "big man" in hell.
02
Three steps to your life
Whenever a demon appears, its behavior cannot escape three steps-intrusion, oppression, and possession (there is also a special fourth stage, death or death directly by skipping possession).
However, in normal human life, demons are difficult to invade, and they must be "permitted" by humans if they want to invade.
The Warrens summed up the two rules, and by doing it, it is possible to open their doors to the devil. One is the law of attraction, and the other is the law of invitation.
The law of attraction is the same as attracting ghosts. The more negative and pessimistic people are, the easier it is for demons to exert influence on them.
And people who behave badly and sinfully can also lead to demons (the so-called "comrades in the same way").
In movies, it is usually because of the second invitation rule that troubles are caused.
"Invitation", as the name implies, means that humans invite demons to come through rituals, no matter how big or small the ritual is, regardless of the motive, once implemented, it is equivalent to giving the demons permission to do evil.
Of course, there is also a special situation where the devil will provoke God by provoking a particularly kind person.
The Possession of Annalis of West Germany on July 1, 1976 was what Ed thought was a provocation to God.
But the end of the matter was that the exorcism failed, Annalis died, her mother and priest were sentenced, and the exorcism was exposed, which shocked the public.
If clicking the back provokes the devil, unfortunately, the first stage of the small fight: intrusion, start.
The purpose of the demons at this stage is to create fear and make people feel negative. In short, it turns the house into a scary haunted house.
By the second step, the demons are not satisfied with hiding in the dark, they will further oppress the victim in both spiritual and sensory aspects.
At the same time, it means that the devil in the haunted house will start to control people (capture the body).
In the oppressive phase, demons are also more willing to express their existence, leaving words or symbols.
And when the victim collapses without the help of the exorcist, the last step: possession will come.
There is a completely clear boundary between the second step of oppression and the third step of possession.
Once the possession is successful, the previous spiritual activities will stop, because the purpose of the devil has been achieved.
Ed said: "When possessing, the devil usually enters from the heart, and more often it enters from the left neck of the person."
The possessed person will crawl like a beast, be as powerful as an ox, speak a language that he does not understand, and may even mutilate his body.
At the same time, situations such as loss of self-nature, body deformation, and spiritual phenomena will occur in them.
More unfortunately, once the possession is successful, the human body is like an open registration forum, where many demons can enter.
In the case of the failure of the West German exorcism in the 1970s, Analis's body was said to be possessed by six demons (Lucifer, Judas, Nero, Hitler, Cain, and Flechman).
But for [nun], it was a more serious situation-releasing the demon "Valak" to the world.
Although the demon reappeared and even killed the nun who appeared at the beginning, it did not have a physical body.
Have to return to the "three-step" routine.
But after all, he is a big man, and the torture method is much stronger than Xiaoyi.
03
Exorcism is not easy
It seems that the devil’s tricks have a "three-step" routine, but in fact, the specific circumstances of each supernatural event are different.
At the same time, different demons have different levels and different levels of difficulty.
In 1928, in Iowa, a woman named Anna Eklund was possessed by Lucifer, who was said to have witnessed it.
The literal interpretation of exorcism is "to drive away evil spirits in the name of God."
This means that it is very dangerous for ordinary people to try to exorcise, even for some priests who have no experience in exorcism.
Contemporary exorcism rituals are big and small.
Small exorcism rituals are mainly to drive away demons in the house. The large one is to save the soul from the demons.
But no matter what kind of exorcism ceremony, it needs to be pious, holy, humble, and perfect; it needs to be physically and mentally strong enough for inhuman clergy to do it.
Because the exorcism itself is likely to continue for years and months, the exorcist will suffer a double attack from the devil's body and mind during this period.
And this is just another side of the world that we don't know well.
It is actually very simple not to provoke these demons.
Animals such as dogs, cats, and birds are very sensitive to demons and can be raised if possible.
Avoid the two-point invitation and the law of attraction, neither do psychic rituals and maintain a good attitude.
In addition, there are many minds when choosing a room.
