1. I think it was something that comes down
through the bloodline. My parents have an
occult background. They are Christian but
my great grandfather was a clairvoyant. On
my mother's side, her mother was a white
witch, and her father was one of the top
freemasons in South Africa.
2. I got involved at the age offour. At the
age offour my spiritual eye was opened - I
could see into the spiritual realm - a demon
appeared to me and told me it was my guide
andwas going to teach me things.
3. It was very scary. It was like in the form
ofa human, but it wasn't human. It was so
tall it had to sort ofduck under the ceiling.
It was white ... pale skin. It's eyes were very
dark, slanted like Chinese eyes, andit hada
long mustache. It was old, but at the same
time it was very strong.
4. I called out to myparents to come and
help but they were asleep. And then I ran
toward the door andran through it.
5. But as 1 ran through it this demon
dropped into me andI knew I was possessed,
that there was nothing 1 coulddo.
6. I heard this laughter and it started
screaming.
7. Then a voice spoke gently to me, saying
that 1 mustn 't worry because it had been
allocated to me andI mustn 't tell anybody.
10. She laughed at me, andI hatedher. But
then afterwards it was all right, but I didn't
like her. She never believedme, she didn't
understand, she lauf!hed at me.
