Im from Watseka and my great uncle and aunt owned the house that Lurancy had lived in. My aunt lost her mind while living in that house. There were definitely paranormal entities inhabiting that house. After my uncle died, my dad said they had a lot of things happen when they were trying to clean and get the house ready to sell. Cold spots, vacuum kept unplugging, voices, etc. I live close to both houses involved in this story. The Roff house still stands and is a few blocks away from mine. Both houses still stand.

Just one more spooky, yet comforting memory to share. After my mom had passed & 3 of her four adult kids were in the hospital room with her, we all went out of the room to attend to something else except my oldest sister. After a couple minutes she came out, her face beet red & said she’d just felt & seen out of the corner of her eye, my mom’s spirit move out of her body & fly up out of the room. What do you make of that!? This is the sensible, grounded sibling!

Energy is a strong element and it's eternal while it constantly evolves as well. The potential for this to occur is present and I would believe it has occured. Science is great to explain the average concepts of life. Although, it still can't explain what occurs after death. When my Mom was dying with cancer, she went into an unconscious state. Towards the ending of her life she woke up and looked into space as though she was looking a someone or something. Maybe past family that had past on prior to her. It reminds me of the scene in the Sopranos' where Tony is hospitalized and then you see him walking up to a house with a party going on inside. I'd like to believe that's what my Mom was seeing when she past her past loved ones. Thank you, Ron. Be safe on your travels.

It's possible for a person to experience catatonia without epilepsy or any other diagnosed medical condition. There is not yet a definitive consensus regarding diagnostic criteria of catatonia. In the fifth edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5, 2013) and the World Health Organization's eleventh edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11, 2022), the classification is more homogeneous than in earlier editions. Prominent researchers in the field have other suggestions for diagnostic criteria.

I have epilepsy and one of my nieces has a severe and rare form of epilepsy. I was thinking the same thing as you. Epilepsy is far more than uncontrollable body movements that most people know and associate with it. It is a miserable disease and causes many physical, mental, and neurological issues.
@LetItBeSummer-14 ай бұрын
What an amazing story Ron. So fascinating! I too, believe it. Ever since my mom died there were too many things that happened that can’t be all coincidence, I have no doubt we are connected to the spirit world. I’ve often had premonitions, get messages from my parents through my dreams & just by talking to them out loud when I’m alone. Both my sisters have either some psychic abilities as well as me or connection to our parents & maybe others. I was an open minded sceptic before my mother passed. It’s a bit scary for me, but there it is

The phenomenon of a disembodied spirit entering the body of another person is a real thing. It's called a "walk-in". It's not angry spirits, hungry ghosts or familiar spirits. It has been corroborated by credible, seasoned, experienced, respected energy healers. If the extent of such reported, documented walk-ins at the highest level of power in the world was disclosed, it would first require extensive background information which is not possible in a comment to a KZbin video. It would be a conspiracy theory, yes, but it's a true conspiracy theory based on credible sources. You have a knack for distinguishing between hoaxes and genuine spirit possessions. Thanks for sharing.
