The speaker's upbringing in an environment influenced by his mother's interest in the occult shaped his experiences and later life. He grew up in an old house in Tulsa, where rumors suggested it had served as a lodging place for railroad workers or oil workers. The house, which had been added onto over the years, held a crawl space with a hidden staircase that the speaker discovered as a child. His mother's fascination with the occult, including her involvement with psychics and Ouija boards, was a constant presence in his childhood. These experiences left a lasting impact on him.
Strange experiences in the old house: The old house was filled with unexplained phenomena including crickets, old medicine bottles, and reports of ghostly apparitions.
The old house where the speaker and their family lived was filled with strange experiences. The speaker recalled finding a room filled with crickets and old medicine bottles, which they believed may have been a root cellar. Their mother reported seeing a man in her room on the Fourth of July, who identified Bob, the step-grandfather, as having artifacts. The mother described the man as having a yellow glow and wearing a trench coat. The speaker also shared an experience of seeing a woman in their bedroom when they were young, which caused them to run screaming from the room. The father, who was skeptical of such experiences, had an unexplained incident in the same room where they found the crickets and medicine bottles. These stories suggest that the old house was a place of unexplained phenomena.
Strange occurrences in childhood home: Unexplained incidents left lasting impression, origin unknown: medicine splashed on wall, woman seen in hallway, strange noises, no signs of break-in.
The speaker and his brother experienced several strange and unexplained incidents in their childhood home. One night, the speaker's father saw a woman in the hallway, who he thought was the speaker's mother, and later discovered that there was a room under the house in the same area. The speaker and his brother also recalled finding medicine splashed on the wall in a peculiar pattern, and hearing strange noises coming from their room that suggested an intruder. However, upon investigating, they found no signs of a break-in. These incidents left a lasting impression on the brothers and remain unexplained to this day. It's unclear whether these events were the result of supernatural activity or some other explanation. Regardless, they serve as a reminder of the unexplored mysteries that can exist even in our own homes.
Strange childhood experiences with intruder and Ouija board: Childhood experiences, though seemingly insignificant, can shape our beliefs and interests significantly.
The speaker's childhood was marked by strange experiences, including the feeling of being watched by an intruder who only knocked things off the shelves, and later, an obsession with a homemade Ouija board. The intruder incident left a lasting impression on the speaker and the neighborhood kids, leading them to engage in seances and other supernatural activities. The Ouija board became an obsession for the speaker and his cousins during their teenage years, leading to intense sessions that left them feeling like they were dealing with a darkness. The experiences left a profound impact on the speaker's life, shaping his beliefs and interests. The chances of someone intruding just to knock things off the shelves without stealing anything are slim, but the power of imagination and the impact of past experiences can be significant.
A father's past military service may have been revealed through an Ouija board session: An unexplained Ouija board connection to Vietnam cities led the speaker to suspect his father's military experiences may have been traumatic
The Ouija board experience shared by the speaker and his friends led them to believe that their father, a Vietnam War veteran, may have had encounters with traumatic events during his military service. The board's sudden and inexplicable connection to Vietnam cities and the father's apparent recognition of these places led the speaker to believe that his father may have felt guilty or disturbed by these experiences. However, it's important to note that the father's intentions and actions during the war were not explicitly confirmed, and the Ouija board's accuracy and validity were not definitively established. The speaker's theory is that the Ouija board may have been inadvertently summoning a demonic presence named Sluthifer, rather than contacting specific individuals or events. Overall, the incident left a lasting impression on the speaker and raised questions about the father's past experiences and emotions.

These experiences continued for several years, even as he moved on from the Ouija board and into his late teens. The speaker admits to having no moral compass during this time and getting his girlfriend pregnant while she was still in high school. He also suspects that there may be a generational curse or demonic entity attached to his family line.

The speaker shares an experience of his daughter's imaginary friend named "grandpa Laplop," who seemed to have a connection to the past and the supernatural.

The father also mentions his ex-wife's father's involvement with tarot cards, adding another layer to the mystery. The speaker expresses his curiosity about the nature of imaginary friends and wonders if they could be more than just figments of children's imaginations. He also shares his personal belief that some people may possess spiritual gifts, which could explain his daughter's experiences. Overall, the story highlights the intrigue and mystery surrounding children's imaginary friends and the possibility that they may be connected to the supernatural world.

He also mentions that everyone has different triggers, and it's crucial to be aware of them to maintain control over one's life.
Media as a trigger for experiences and sensations: Be aware of media content that may negatively impact you and recognize its influence on your life, as personal experiences can shape beliefs and habits.

This experience highlights the importance of understanding and respecting cultural differences while spreading faith and helping those in need. The speaker's open-mindedness and willingness to adapt to the situation allowed him to make a significant impact on the girl's life.
Specifying where demons go is crucial: When dealing with possessions or demons, it's important to specify where they should go rather than just telling them to leave. Tell demons to go where Jesus instructs.
When dealing with possessions or casting out demons, it's important to specify where they should go rather than just telling them to leave. Tony Merkel shares his experience of dealing with a possessed person and believes that the same dark demonic spirit may have been jumping from person to person. He advises telling the demon to go where Jesus tells you to send it, as demons are always looking for bodies to possess. Despite his past experiences, Tony remains calm and believes in the power of God to protect him. However, the remote location of his investigations and potential health issues are his main concerns. This advice is especially relevant for those who believe in the existence of demonic possession and the importance of taking precautions when dealing with such situations.

He emphasized that in some places, like China, India, and Africa, spiritual warfare is a very real part of daily life, unlike in America where the supernatural and God have been largely stripped out of society. The speaker's belief is that these spiritual forces are deeply rooted in the history and culture of these places and are not to be taken lightly.
Exploring the Supernatural: A Path to God and Inner Peace: Recognize the existence of the supernatural, acknowledge its power, and open our minds to its potential for deeper connection with God and inner peace.
We have become desensitized to the supernatural and paranormal aspects of life in modern Western culture. People who claim to have experienced such phenomena are often dismissed or even institutionalized. However, there are real experiences and occurrences that cannot be explained by science or logic alone. These experiences can bring people closer to God and provide a sense of peace and connection to the divine. We need to open our minds and acknowledge the existence of the supernatural, rather than dismissing it as mere insanity or a figment of the imagination. The supernatural is not a show or a consumer product, but a real and powerful force that can bring us closer to God and help us find peace and meaning in our lives. We should strive to confront the supernatural and recognize that some people do have a gift of discernment. Let us not numb ourselves to the world around us and miss out on the awe and wonder of the supernatural.
