The Vanishing Banshee
Late in October, Jason contacted the Aware Foundation concerning strange
occurrences that were happening in his home in a small town near the Canadian
Border. As a part time police officer and security officer for a local nursing
home, Jason just couldn’t find a reasonable explanation for what he was
witnessing. Things began to happen about two weeks previous. He had been working
at his security job at the nursing home where he was in charge of making sure
that the second floor was locked. Some of the more confused patients would
wander into the rooms of the ones that were just recuperating from surgery.
That night he checked the room of a middle age woman that was there to covalence
from surgery to her knee. He was surprised to see a rather old woman standing by
the woman’s bed. She was hunched over the occupant in the bed, what struck him
was the flaming red hair that this old woman had.
Thinking that she was one of the confused patients he approached her asking her
what she was doing. He touched her on the right shoulder and was surprised that
she felt hard and cold as ice.
The red haired woman turned and looked at him and then just disappeared.
Jason was upset but still he made a thorough search of the floor, almost hoping
that one of the confused patients had escaped. Of course he didn’t find anyone
matching that description.
The next day as Jason reported to work he found out that the middle age patient
had died of complications that morning.
A few days later at home Jason was having some coffee and he happened to look
out the window to the woods in back of his house and he saw this flash of red.
Thinking it was poachers on his property he went out the back of the house
grabbing his rifle as he went. When he got to where he had seen the red instead
of a poacher he saw the old lady with the red hair. Jason was so frightened that
he fired his gun at her, not thinking what he was doing. She disappeared and
Jason ran back into the house not knowing what to do or to think.
Jason slept rather poorly during the night. In the morning he tried to resume a
somewhat normal life. He woke up early and let his lab puppy out while he made
coffee. While the coffee was brewing he heard and then saw this black truck come
racing down the dead end road. It seemed to aim right at the puppy who remained
frozen in the road. It hit the puppy with such force that the poor dog flew up
in the air landing many feet away from impact. The truck continued on. Jason ran
out to the dog and found it severely wounded. It laid in the street moaning and
whimpering. He examined the dog and knew that it was suffering beyond medical
help. The dog was completely paralyzed. Not wanting the dog to suffer anymore
Jason wrapped it in a blanket and took him into the woods. He wanted to put the
dog out of its misery.
Jason loaded his handgun and put it to the dog’s head and fired at close
range. Although Jason was an expert marksman he missed causing the paralyzed dog
to flee. Jason was so upset, he followed the dog into the woods and finally
caught up with the dog at the exact spot that he saw the red hair old woman the
day before. There he shot the dog again this time killing the poor animal. He
buried the animal there at that spot. That night things really began to happen
at his house. Almost like the puppy being shot at the sight of the old woman was
a sacrificial offering. He saw the old hag around the house, his barn, and the
woods no matter where he would go. She even showed up at a super market.
Things began to disappear and reappear other places. There was loud bangs,
knocks, rappings, lights would go on and off, his wife’s antique doll would
move on its own and things fell off the shelves in his living room.
His other dog refused to go out no matter how hard he would try to get him to go
out. The dog became frightened turning on Jason and biting him. We contacted
Jason by phone. While speaking with him Debbie was able to discern clairvoyantly
as to where the old hag was standing on Jason property. Jason confirmed it.
Reverend Larry began to pray with Jason over the phone and while he was praying
Jason reported that the lights in his house were getting brighter and brighter.
Over the next couple of days we prayed with Jason and his family.
Jason reports that there are no more sightings of the red haired old hag and no
more paranormal happenings around his house.
