What's that at the foot of my bed, Spoky, I'm really sure it's dead. He's coming this way.
Wait a minute, and I'm said Nyron jesss.
Hey boo, it's me Roz. Oh my god. This episode today is very fascinating to me. I talked to Rachel Stavis or r. H. Stavis as her writer name is on her book, which is called Sister of Darkness. She is an exorcist. This is my first exorcist and I am thrilled. Now you may have heard about her. She's she's been around for a couple of years publicly, and she's written this book, and she's appeared on television and
done lots of media interviews. She actually has a piece that she wrote in this month's Cosmo, and I've heard about I've known about her for a little bit now. And when it comes to this kind of a thing, it can be very polarizing, so I encourage you all to have an open mind. It kind of reminds me of that Travel Channel documentary about the Warrens that I was recently watching, and I recommended that a lot of you have watched, and I was pleased to hear so
many of you enjoyed it as well. But there's a quote that Ed Warren says in there, and I'm paraphrasing, but it's along the lines of the difference between a skeptic and a close minded person. And you know, a skeptic is somebody that still has an open mind. So I think it's really good to be skeptical when we're talking about the paranormal and exorcisms and demons and all
this stuff. But yeah, just keep an open mind. I always have kind of a mental checklist when it comes to psychics or you know, really anybody that says that they can improve your life, and one of them is, is this person playing doctor when they're not really a doctor? Is this person charging massive sums of money? And the thing with her is that she doesn't even charge people. Can you believe that? So that to me kind of adds to my trust and what she says, she's not
really trying to gain anything. She mentions when and I talked to her that people have wanted to make reality shows about her, she doesn't care. She's not in it for that. She's a successful writer. She actually we talk briefly about some of the things that she's written, but She's very well known in the video game and comic book world before she started pursuing this exorcism career. More
which career. It's kind of an interesting thing to say, is since she doesn't charge, I really really think she just does this to help people, because she has this gift and she wants to share it with the world. The thing that makes her different from other quote unquote exorcists is she's not a priest. She's non denominational, but we kind of get into what that means for her
as well. And she has the ability to visually see what she calls entity, which I think is very similar to what a lot of people consider to be demons. She can see these things and it's not necessarily what we're used to from movies and different accounts. She can remove these energies, these entities that cause all kinds of things that can cause physical pain, depression, all the way up to straight up what people think of as the devil.
But I know from a lot of quote unquote exorcism cases that sometimes there's other issues going on, mental issues, different conditions that people don't go to a doctor and they think that it's a demon. And I talk to her about that as well, and we get into that in the second part next week, So keep that in mind in case any of those kinds of questions come up you're listening to this first part. So I had a bajillion questions for her. I've read her book called
Sister of Darkness. I was actually reading it when we did this conversation, and she gave me so much that we actually decided to turn this into a two part episode. And we've also, of course got bonus clips on Patreon. I talked to her for a total of like around an hour and a half. She was very generous with
her time. And on this week's Patreon she tells a story that she says she tells the people and it keeps them up at night, and it's a story of an entity that visited her in the night, and she's an exorcist and she had to keep the lights on all night because she was so afraid of whatever this presence was that visited her and axorsist, she's seen it all and she had to keep her lights on. So go to a patreon dot com slash Ross dress Falast to hear that and bonus clips from every week's episode.
Also on Patreon. This week is my weekly video and this one is if you were at my last live show before everything really got crazy, I showed a video of my best friend's Sam Pancake and I going ghost hunting, or at least doing our best at a haunted hotel, allegedly haunted hotel in San Francisco, And so I put that video with some narration on it on my Patreon
so you can see us walking around the hotel. And if nothing more, if you don't live in San Francisco, it's cool to see this really historic hotel called the Hotel Whitcomb. But I don't know. We think that there might have been paranormal activity. It's possible, it could be explained,
but it's definitely like some weird was going on. Something else that I want to address before we move forward into today's episode is that last week I got a lot of messages and stuff in the Facebook group and and different people bringing to my attention that Thomas Dale mentioned that the Amneyville Horror House is now burnt down and it's no longer there, and that's actually not true. I think maybe he was confused and the house is
still very much up. And I completely apologized that I did not even correct him, and so I take responsibility for that and I'm so sorry. But you guys are smart, you knew you know what's up. You guys stay on top of this stuff. So thank you for bringing that to my attention. Also in the Facebook group this week, I got.
Well.
I was perusing through the Facebook group and I found some great stories from Joseph, and Joseph writes this first one, which is bonjour hi from Montreal, Quebec. This is my first post and I have a crazy ghost story to tell you. All right, let's hear with Joseph. I have always loved everything Baron, normal and witchy. However, this experience affirmed for me this stuff is real. This experience happened four months after my boyfriend and I moved into our
lovely condo. It was eleven am during the day and I was finishing up my degree online with sm sn HU. My boyfriend was at work and I saw him leave and kissed him goodbye. Around eight forty five at eleven am, I'm sitting upright in our bed, typing away at a long essay. Suddenly I hear extremely loud footsteps coming down our long hallway to the bedroom. This is when shit got in all caps crazy. These footsteps were not imaginary,
the sound was clear as day. I basically was about to stand up and go see who the hell was in the house with me when my boyfriend, who was at work, walked into our bedroom with the same clothes he left in. I was confused, why in the world would he come home early and not tell me? So I put the laptop on the other side of the bed and make to get up and talk to him. However, that certainly didn't happen. Before I could even stand up, my hearing went numb. Any outside noise was completely shut off.
All I was left with was this sort of tunnel like vision and hearing to my boyfriend standing in the entrance of our bedroom. Disclaimer, at this time I was waiting for my permanent resident card and I didn't begin French immersion during that time. My boyfriend only spoke English with me, as I didn't speak his or his family's
language yet. So through this tunnel like vision, this being that was my boyfriend spoke in French, which, as I said, my boyfriend wouldn't have addressed me with since I didn't speak yet. PS I speak French now, which makes this more creepy because I'll never forget this experience. Also, I must mention this being who was my boyfriend was not transparent or foggy in any way. He looked one hundred percent human. So my boyfriend starts to speak in French
a long paragraph, but I couldn't understand. However, one phrase stuck out in my mind. Oh man, I don't even know if I can say this. I'm not even gonna try it. But he's The translation is I'm the spirit here. And after that was said, I made a shocked face, and the being that took my boyfriend's form and the tunnel like vision disappeared as if nothing had occurred. However, directly after the being disappeared, right in my ear came a child's laughter. The laugh wasn't in my head. This
was out loud. It almost echoed in the room. I couldn't believe it. I was shocked. I called my boyfriend, who I interrupted at work in the middle of something and couldn't shut up. I had to tell him. He didn't come home, he was at work. Whatever being was here wanted to have some fun with me. I cannot describe to you the feelings of those moments. It was more than real, it was supernatural. It has never happened again. However, every time I share this story, I get chills and
goose bumps. And then Tracy wrote in the comments that is super creepy, and Joseph wrote, it seems creepy, but honestly, I felt no malice or eve during this experience. If anything, I was super wicked excited about this experience. However, I have never heard about a spirit taking on the appearance of someone else until this happened and I researched it. It's quite common apparently. Thank you Joseph for sending me that. Yeah, doppelgangers, that's really a thing. Oh my god, it's like a clone.
Maybe maybe it was trying to start a thrupple. Maybe it was some kind of energy that was like, oh, well, I already know your type. You like a guy that looks honestly exactly like your boyfriend. If I could just look like that, maybe we could start a relationship. I don't know. These are just ideas now. I am, of course not an expert at all, but from talking to Rachel today, I will say she talks about a type of what she calls entity that mimics people or familiar
situations as a way to creep into your life. Now, I don't know if I'm not saying that that's what this is. You can you can listen to what she has to say about that, but it's possible. We should probably get to the conversation with Rachel. And and again I want to point out that it's a two parter, so the second part of the episode will have EVPs which will come out next week, and it will also answer a lot of questions, a lot of further questions and questions like what what do we do about this?
How do we how do we protect ourselves? And she'd tell she tells some really spooky stories next week as well. So here she is. I hope you enjoyed my conversation with our h Stavis on with the show. Hello Rachel, how are you?
I am so good? How are you?
I am great? Well, I'm actually, first of all, I'm so sorry I haven't had you on sooner. I have known about you, and I really am very obsessed with you, and I've had just such a big stack of books that I haven't had time to get to until Quarantine, And then now I've been reading your book and now I'm full blown obsessed with you, and I apologize so because I was.
I was.
I'm about twenty pages away from finishing it, but kind of like, kind of like your profession, sometimes drag duty calls and I had to run and go do some drags, so I haven't quite finished it yet.
But well, that's okay, thank you for reading. That's very nice of you.
Oh my god, it's really good. So first of all, you're a non denominational exorcist. Can you tell us for anyone that doesn't know what is that mean?
Yes, so you know it is kind of what it is, right, But unlike you know, being a priest or affiliate of the church, I kind of work with a lot of different high beings. I don't have any specific religion, and I take anybody who thinks that they might have something going on. But basically it is what it is. Like I say, I remove what people call demons what I call entities. I remove them from people and sometimes places.
Are you doing it like in quarantine?
I know, not really, it's definitely a lot harder. In quarantine, I was doing some Skype, not not the same kind of thing, but just you know, speaking to people about their guides and what's going on with their world and their energy, because that's essentially how this all works, which we can get into but in person not so much.
Yeah, because I I was reading that you were talking about how entity can mess around with technology, So I can only imagine what that would be like over Zoom or Skype or something.
It's it's actually crazy, like to try and do that over Skype. Is is its own kind of miracle? Yeah, you know, but yeah, entities totally screws with like electronics the same way to sease people. Do you know how people are always talking about that. I'm sure you've heard that eight thousand times, Like you know, a drain's batteries or breaks things or whatever. Entity is like that times
a thousand. So just as an example, in my I have a spirit room where you know, I work on people, and I used to have this picture up that was in glass. It was the picture of my grandparents from the nineteen fifties, and the glass just the glass would break so often that I had to move it out.
Oh my God, like after an exorcism.
Yep. Yeah, So we don't allow phones there's no jewelry, there's nothing like that.
So do you have people come to you that think that they have an entity or demon but it's not Does that happen.
A lot sometimes? You know, it's it's kind of a weird thing because I think people have this idea about exorcism from movies, right, like this is how it goes, and the heads are spinning, and it's always kind of this what I call movie style entity, and it's not not always. I mean, listen, that happens. Let's not go crazy.
Do you wear a plastic poncho just in case somebody spews green slime all over you?
No, I do not. I will say. I will say that having someone throw up is not that uncommon. Yeah, it's not as messy as you've seen in the movies.
It does happen, yeah, you know, but.
Sometimes people come with something as simple as they can't conceive or you know, they just feel blocked or they're not sure what's going on, and they do have entity, a different kind of entity, like like I say, there's like a spectrum of entity that's which again we can oh, yeah, but you know, sometimes they come in where they think they have something and they don't and it's actually trauma, which is what all of the stems from in the first place, right, right, Well.
Because I imagine, I mean with religious exorcist, they probably get because that's what's so interesting about what you do, is that you see the you can see entity. And I don't know necessarily that a lot of religious exorcists have that ability, right, So I imagine that they probably get a lot of people that it's like my son is into heavy metal, or they're gay or you know, some of that kind of fun stuff, and it's like, no, you're not actually possessed by a demon. They're just cool.
I don't know, well, right, And sometimes it's also the opposite, right, because they can't so it's like you have a checklist, it doesn't meet the criteria, so they must be faking, which I've had several clients like that. I've had several people come where, you know, they were turned down by the church saying that this child doesn't have it or there's no way. And I can see with my eyes is a very weird situation, but I can see in five seconds if they're faking or they're not.
You know, really, yeah, because you can see, like you were saying that you can even look at a picture or you know, so you can see people on TV somebody that's like, I don't know, like a president or something. You see them on TV and you can see like an entity attached to them.
Yes, I can see it in photos. I can see it in TV and film. It's very distracting when an actor has one. Oh I'm sure really hard to tune it out and like be in the moment with this movie, but yes, I can.
Could you tune that out? Can you like turn it off?
You know? So just it's some backstory for anybody who you know, has never heard of any of this. I was born with the ability to see entity. I didn't know what it was when I was a child. It was just very scary. I saw monsters, you know. So it was like kids that complain about monsters under the better monsters in the closet, and the parent comes and they're like, there's nothing there for me. That did not
go away. But I learned not to speak about it because I learned, like from my mother very quickly that that meant I was crazy, And so I didn't speak about that for a very long time. And part of the not speaking about it was wishing to be normal whatever that is, right, and then trying to push it out. So I got very good at pushing it out for the most part, like basically blocking that site, and less something was extremely malevolent, then it would always come through anyway.
But then when I became an adult, I had this very small, you know, not not the cliched kind of thing where you have like this near death experience, but I had like a fender bender, and it was like one thing too many that week, you know, and all of a sudden that site blew open again and I could not block it out. And you know, like the homeless guy who's screaming on the street, I could see what he was screaming at and it was just the floodgates opened and that was that. So I couldn't block
it out anymore. And now, you know, I had I had to reason with myself like, okay, I'm either crazy or I have this for some some point. And I always joke that, you know, I sat down with the scotch and looked up to the heavens and was like, all right, people like, let me know what this is. And many scotches later, here we.
Are and you use, you know, you connect with a lot of different higher beings and and that's so I'm sure people are always wondering, like what the non denominational aspect of it is, because you know, you you do talk about kind of working with Jesus and Buddha and Muhammad and you know, all all different types of higher beings and and so I guess what I'm always wondering, and this is something I've pondered many times throughout this show is just you know, is that a person to person thing?
Is it?
Is it what what one person believes is good and what what evil looks like? Is that different for everyone? Or how does that work?
Well? When when we say like non denominational, I guess that's not exactly the right term. I don't practice any kind of religion, so that's why I consider myself non denominational. But at the same time, I work with multiple high beings, so I guess you could call it multi denominational.
Okay, you know what I mean.
I guess that's a more accurate saying. But a lot of that is based on who is coming, because you know, it's very interesting, like people have varying ideas of what is spirit, what is the universe? What is God? What
is angels? You know? Everybody has this this thing that they identify, and a lot of people who've come to me, believe it or not, are profoundly religious and then multi you know, tons of different religions and are afraid and they're always very surprised because what happens during the process of that is usually one of their high beings will step forward. So let's say you are you know, someone who is a Buddhist, you know, then that's that's what
comes forward. If you are someone who is very Catholic, you know, so they all kind of come together to put the person at ease. If this makes sense, okay, And what really upsets people, because we're here to upset people, what really upsets people that I say, is that they also work together. These high beings, which people don't.
Like get out of town.
They don't like to hear it, they don't like it. They're like, no, my religion goes this way and your religion goes this way. And they're very separate. Actually no, they're not separate at all.
Yeh. I know, so many of them. It's basically just about not being a bad.
Person and yeah, like can we just not be assholes? Basically it is the underlying theme of all religions, right when they're not exploited for destructive benefit exactly.
And it's like the just the whole idea of like, well, if you don't believe my religion, then you're bad. And it's like, it's really not about that. And I think of anyone you've seen that firsthand more than most people, I think.
Yeah, And you know, it's wonderful when you have someone who comes in both as like a skeptic and a very religious person who thinks like you might be crazy, but they you know, you're like a last hope, a last resort, and to change their minds completely at the end of it, where they become more open, more spiritual,
more accepting because of what they've been through. So that's like something that I find to be one of the big joys of this job, if you will, if it's a job, is to change people's minds and to change how they live, you know, the unconscious versus consciousness of treating themselves with love and treating other people with love.
Well, when you're talking about job, I okay, you you wrote the backstory to lower Croft Tomb writer.
Yes, yeah, wow, that was a long time ago. Yeah.
I actually glazed over in the book and I was like, what what what? That's amazing A.
Million years ago. Now I'm an old woman, but I am a writer full disclosure. I do right write for film and television now, but I started in video games and comics.
That is so cool. And you also worked with my number one idol who has also been on this podcast, El Viral Mistress of the Dark.
Ah, I love her. I love her. Isn't she the best?
She's the coolest and also has an amazing ghost story. I don't know if you know this story. He lived in a haunted house. Oh, it's good. What's your relationship to quote unquote ghosts? You know when we're talking about haunted houses and that sort of a thing. I know you talk about entities that are attached to houses, but what about human ghosts?
So human ghosts are different than entities, right, So it's like, I kind of I'm I know you read the books, but for anybody who has not, is hearing me speak on anything for the first time, I like to compartmentalize. I just make it so much easier for myself. So you know, like reading the book, there's like this type of entity, this one, this one, this one just to help me. And so deceased people to me are like in a class by themselves. So decease people they don't
attach in the way that entity does. You can't really be possessed quote unquote from a deceased person. You can be annoyed, you can be harassed, but they don't really possess. But what they do, and you're going to laugh because this is so true, is they don't shut up. They do not ever shut up decease people. The big difference between deceased people and entities, aside from that category, is that deceased people can't wait to be heard and seen, and entities do not. They want to hide and hide
and hide. So decease people if you open up your medium ship abilities, because I believe absolutely everyone on this planet is born with medium ship abilities and the ability to speak to your spirit guide. So when people are ready to reopen that communication, they start realizing, wow, there's a lot of dead people who want to talk to me.
Okay, So but does that happen that people come to you and they have like I mean, because can a ghost can not necessarily attached really, But or do they do they follow? Can they follow someone around or is that just like a trickster or somebody that's you know, an entity that's pretending to be a human ghost.
Yeah, I mean if it's a relative or someone with unfinished business, of course, they might try to harass you into finishing that whatever. That is, okay, So like personally, you know, then this is no secret. This is in
the book. My my mother was like a malignant narcissist, a really terrible person, and when she passed, she passed without with a lot of unfinished business, you know, because we weren't really talking and there's a lot of stuff and she never apologized for anything, you know, same or same old. So when she passed, she was very harassing and trying to have communication with me to try and
fix that. However, she needed to fix that. So if you have that going on with somebody and or you know, you had a really beautiful relationship with someone to sease, people will hang around with you for that. If it feels much more negative than that and it's starting to affect or impact your life in a negative way, most likely that is what I call a trickster, which is an entity that can take on the form of something.
You know. Usually they will attach to people when they are children, so they'll come in as imaginary friends, weird things like Janie's Believe me, I have seen it all. But to adults, they might show up as people who passed away. They might show up as archangels like whatever they can do, excuse me, to have a symbiotic relationship with their host.
Okay, well, I feel like we should probably talk about you're the different classifications, if that's cool with you.
Yeah, absolutely, so, even going back a little further, just to talk about how attachment works, because I think again, like people often have a misconception of how you get quote unquote possessed. So everyone kind of walks around with what I call a baseline frequency, because we're talking about
energy and frequency. Everything's in energy, right, We're putting off energy, and our baseline frequency is you know, what our internal dialogue is, how we communicate with the world, what our actions are, all of that stuff, and most people kind of walk around in a bit of unconsciousness, as we can clearly see as we look at this country, and so, you know, on a scale of one to ten, where one's dead and ten is Buddha. Most people are walking around with like a four. And we can work on
ourselves and raise that vibration, but that takes time. The thing that doesn't take time is trauma. And when we have a trauma, that baseline frequency takes a hit. And now we are in low frequency. And when we are in low frequency, that is how low frequency beings, low frequency attachments do that they attach. And there are many different types of entities. In the book, we talk about like the most common, the smallest of the most common, and the literal most common is what I call a
clive It's very scientific. Why I call it that. I call it that because it looks like a Clive Barker drawing.
To me, which sounds terrifying. It's not great, but I was also really shocked to hear you said that they're really small.
Super little, very tiny, about the size of a fist. And they are, like I say, most common, and they work as amplifiers, so you know, if you're sad, you're depressed. If you're depressed or suicidal, if you are angry, you have rage, et cetera. And it just keeps going. And they're very easy to get and they you know, not to scare people, but I guess we're going to scare
people anyway. About about eighty five percent of the population walks around with these at any time, and most people don't know that they have it at all.
And so without going to you do people, they once they raise their frequency, they just kind of go away.
Yeah, because these are also the ones that are the easiest to get rid of. Okay, So you know, once you are in a place where you are healing yourself, oftentimes that starves it out and then they go looking for something else. Okay, So that's those guys. Then next up we have rapes what I call rapes, and those are the ones that are attached to sexual dysfunction, so molestation, rape abuse, being exposed to something too early. They oftentimes will come as night terrors, so people will see them
as those kind of dark shades. And they will also kind of do those the chest sits, you know, where people feel like they can't.
Mostly paralysis and that sort of the thing.
Yeah, all of that usually is attached to raids. And they also can cause you know, you to not be in a relationship at all. They can lead people to that kind of narcissist impact relationship. They can ruin good relationships whatever, whatever your style is, that's what they feed
off of. Okay, and then we move up to tricksters, you know, which we talked about taking on the form of something else, and all the way up to what I call realm walkers, which are what people consider the devil really, but there's more than one.
Wait, can you tell the trickster story about the ring? The role that had the ring?
Yes, Oh my gosh. I get some visitations And did you ever hear the visitation the New Orleans visitation? I should tell you that too if you If you.
Haven't, oh my god, we love talking about New Orleans on here. Yes please, yes, one of.
My favorite place, my favorite place. Okay, So I get visitations quite often. I don't get attachment, thank goodness, but because of what I do, you know, they tend to show up sometimes, and it's more out of like this weird curiosity. They kind of want to know, like, how do you see you know, what what are you doing?
That kind of well do you believe that they see you? And they go, oh, she can actually see us? Or she you know, do they do you appear different? To them than other people.
I think so, because when I was a child was when they started to notice me noticing them, okay, and they didn't really bother me with visitations and still until I started getting rid of them. And so now I have these things called bad moons, which everyone jokes is like a cosmic period, which is like from sun up or sundown to sun up, like every six to eight weeks, I will get visitation after visitation after visitation. So I
don't know what that is. I don't know if that's like the universe just kind of balancing itself out or what. But one of those visitations, my very first visitation, in fact, was the one you're talking about. So I at the time lived in a house that had a bathroom connected, you know, to the bedroom that had kind of a
frosted glass. And I was there in the bed and sometime in the middle of the night and the frosted glass you can see that the light is on from the bathroom and I'm like, Okay, that's kind of weird, but whatever. And I was married at the time, and I had my ring on and I'm noticing that there's this blonde woman walking back and forth in the bedroom kind of like throwing clothes over the exercise machine and just nonchalantly like she lives there and has been there
all her life. And I'm like, who are you? And she doesn't really say, and she's just kind of putting the stuff back and forth like lah lah lah, and she's like, you know what, you should take that ring off, just like that. And it took me so long. I was like, what ring? What is this girl talking about? Who is this girl? And she's like, yeah, the ring, you know, it has a ghost in it. And I was like, what the hell? Who even says that? You know, Like who says a ring has a ghost in it?
So I'm trying to process this while watching her like totally, you know, no big deal situation going on, and I suddenly realized, oh my god, she's talking about my wedding ring because my husband at the time and myself we had put like protection on these rings when we got married. And I realized, oh shit, this is what she's talking about. So all of a sudden, I was like, who are you?
And she flew up over me. I'm laying on my back in the bed and she is right above me, face to face and starts pushing her way into my body and I was like, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out. And then she was gone and the light was still on in the bathroom and clothes that were not over the exercise machine were still there. I hate that. And that was not even my worst. That was like the nicest one I've ever had.
Oh my god, seriously, Yes, okay, what's the new or.
Okay. So what we don't talk about in the book is that there are entities that are attached to regions and it's it's not like something that people have to worry about. So in essence, the book was for people, right, so you know, this is what it is. If you're feeling this, you know you might have this. The region ones are different, you know, they don't attach to people.
But I was in New Orleans and I was sleeping and in this particular room there was so this is a condo that I have, and I had in the in this room one of those little night lights that projects onto the ceiling and it's like a little fish tank. It presents like little fish and that is like kind of always run. And then there's a window out to the street and it's fairly close to the French Quarter and like you can see like there's lots of lights
on and people are walking kind of all hours. And this particular night, I am in the bed and all of a sudden this thing. I don't I wish I could categorize this. I'm still struggling to figure out, like what is this exactly? But there was this what I call like a banshee you remember banshie?
Yeah, oh okay, it was a woman.
It came up to me. It had it opened its mouth and it had like rows and rows and rows of teeth like sharks, and it was literally trying to bite, which I've never had an entity to do before ever. It was trying to bite.
Wait, I have a question on that. Yeah, are they the way that they appear to you? Are they like physical? Like could could one actually sink teeth into you? Or is it more I don't know what the word is, but you know, like can you walk through them?
Like what you know?
You get what I'm asking?
Like? Is it yeah?
Physical?
Yeah? I mean to me, they're very much they look like you do you know what I mean? Like I can see them and they're as as real as any human being Okay. I've never tried to walk through one, so I don't know. Maybe they just poof into smoke. I'm no idea, but this I will say with this one, this was the first time that I actually could feel that bite. I could feel it normally with entity, you know, especially what you know the realm walkers, those movie style entities.
You you can have physical abrasions from them, you know how you see in the movies, like there's teeth marks, or there's scratches, or there's words in somebody's skins. You can actually wake up with that, but most people don't remember feeling it. It'll happen when they're asleep. With this particular entity, this is the first time I actually felt that happening in like real time, So I trieked out. I was freaking out. I was like trying to get it out, trying to push it out because this is
what I do. And it was very, very strong, and out of the corner of the room came this giant man wearing like animal skins and long long black hair over the face, kind of like the ring. And he came out of the corner and he grabbed this thing and backed up into the corner and disappeared with it. Who was that. I did some research and it looked like it was a Native American chief and this might have been something so regional that he could feel that I needed him and he came and took it.
Oh wow.
Yes. And when this happened, here's the craziest part. This is where things get even weirder. All of the light, like the little fish light went out, completely went out. Remember we were talked about like the draining of the batteries. It went out, and I was like looking rund Like. I sat up and I was like, holy shit. And I'm looking around, looking around and looking around. And not only did that go out, but the entire block in
New Orleans went out. There were no lights anywhere. Nobody could figure out why it was just in my particular block.
Oh this is too scary.
Yeah. And at the same time, so I have a girlfriend and she was in the bed next to me, and she sat up at the same time and said, oh my god, I just had a dream about this woman who was trying to bite.
Well, yeah, I guess that's another question, like have you had these has an entity like that ever visited you or have you encountered them where other people also were in the room and saw them or saw it an effect of it. I guess that dream counts, but you know, are there other times that that happens?
Normally they don't see them with their eyes. But the problem with being in a relationship with me is one of them.
Is this on your dating profile? You might be visited by a banshee in the night you.
Are hitting it Because for so long I was like, I'm not going to date anybody. I'm not going to be around anybody because this is like a real issue because when you are around me, the closer you get to me, the more paranormal experiences you have. Because it's
part of my life, you know. So not only are you dealing with the emergency people who show up at midnight and need help like that minute, but you also have to deal with the fact that I do this for a living and or not a living, I should say, but as part of my life.
Oh yeah, we should also tell people you don't charge for this.
No I don't, so yeah, like it's it is part of my life. It's it's my calling, it's it's part of why I'm on this planet. That's how I feel, so I don't. I don't say no, So you know you're dealing with that. Plus you're dealing with things falling off the shelves, things flying around rooms, like waking up with terrible nightmares all the time, you know, thinking you've seen things out of the corner of your eye, losing stuff then finding it in the weird places like this is all stuff that happens.
Another thing I should say, which I'm sure people have gathered from just listening to you. When I when I first found out about you, I was like, in exorses, okay, I'm listening, And the more I heard you speak, not only do you seem you seem like a like a normal person in many ways you have a great sense of humor, but you're also like I would feel very safe being around you when it comes to this kind of stuff because you're the one that makes it go away.
I mean, you're absolutely, I don't know, you're a hero to a lot of people that are in these situations. So you know, I'm sure that it's probably unlike most things. If someone's going to date you, I'm sure they haven't dated many other exorcists, but they picked one that could keep the bad stuff away, So that's good.
Well, yeah, I mean, listen, I am pretty confident in my job. I have been doing this for over a decade. I have worked on you know, everyone from heads of to politicians to you know, rock icons, to grandmas to children to next door neighbors, you know, like everybody. But you know, I think two people think oh, that'd be cool, like I'd really love to be around that until they are until they see how scary it is and how
real it is and how draining. Because one of the things that I don't really talk about that much is how hard it is, you know, how hard it is physically, how hard it is emotionally, what the backlash of working on people is like. But you know, yeah, I have
been accused of being extremely cocky. It's my big demon energy, you know, like people are always like, wow, she just very cocky, Like you know, you are reading a book, and so some people are really offended by the language in the book because I'm very confident about what I do. And I always say to that like, what do you want, Like, do you want a non cocky extresses working on your right.
But you have to actually have the track record to back it up. I think there's also people. There's politicians, there's people that are like you're.
Not talking about like fake confidence, but you know, like, how many nice, good people do you meet who are so self deprecating and have been treated so poorly in their lives, especially in childhood, and have like no worthiness, and you know, it's so hard for them to even take a compliment. You know, That's what I want to change. I want to change that for people because I as you know, like when reading the book, one of the easiest ways to change this, even your ability or possibility
of having attachment is to raise that vibration. And part of raising that vibration is starting internally with your dialogue, you know, because we're so hard on ourselves. So many people are so hard on ourselves, like really terrible, And it's about kind of restructure that first, because how are we going to love other people if we don't love ourselves?
That's right, And I mean, if you're lucky enough to find your calling or whatever, and you do it the best that you can, I mean, that's that's such a gift. I mean, if I was reading your book and and you were like, I'm pretty sure I can get rid of demonsa I'd be like, okay, girl, I got other things to read.
Like, you know how it is. It's like your dams if you do, and your damn if you don't.
Literally, God, we always talk on this show about the relationship between creative people and celebrity and Hollywood and the paranormal. I mean, are there are there connections that you see with that?
Yeah? I mean I kind of see it in a different way. So you know, how it looks to me is again like what I work in is trauma, right, That's what people have a shared situation of. And I do feel like, of course, when people are trying to go after dream, a huge dream, a big dream like people do when they come here and even achieve that dream,
it doesn't heal the trauma, you know. And so I think like a lot of people come come to entertainment as a way to try and fulfill something voided in their lives, and then they get it and they're like,
why am I not all better? So, and I think creative people in particular are kind of bruty, right or brooty, broody people like we tend to spend time in those dark places and that's difficult, you know, to handle on your own, especially if your childhood or your traumas in life, or your traumas even as an adult, have attracted something negative with you. But it's interesting too because I deal with so many people who are very big creatives who always tell me when they come I want this gone.
I know there's something here. I want to be better, I want to feel better, I want to heal this out. But also I'm afraid to let go of it because I think that this is what gives me the edge to my creativity.
Yeah, well, I know that from working in comedy. There's a lot of there's a huge belief in comedy that if I lose my edge, if I lose my darkness, I'm no longer funny.
Right exactly, And same for musicians. Musicians feel that a lot. They're very worried about that. But it's not true. It's not true. It doesn't you know, just because you take out the thing that is actually plaguing your life and making it worse, doesn't mean that you're going to forget everything or suddenly be stupid or suddenly not be able to do what you were put on the earth to do. Yes, it's just not true. But people are very afraid to live without their darkness.
Yeah, I had an experience like that. I'm in recovery. I'm a sober person, and I you know, people always talk about their demons when they're talking about addiction, and I looking back, especially after reading your book, I'm like, oh, yeah,
like I really understand that now. I'm sure there was some kind of dark energy that was just attached to me and I and nothing but bad things happened to me for years, and I was just a dark, miserable person, and I was I was afraid that I was going to lose my creativity if I cleaned up my life and stopped. But then one day I was lucky enough
to get myself out of that. And I mean, I don't really know, but it seems to me that my frequency raised and whatever I had attached to me kind of went away, or I don't know, at least I got stronger.
Than it exactly. And that's that is, you know, kind of Another thing that I love to tell people too, is like all of these things that you're afraid of, all of these entities that attach, and yes they exist, and yes, be wary and mindful of those things, you know, you are stronger than that. When you step into your power and taking back your life is stepping into your power, and you will know that you're doing a fantastic job raising your frequency when the world reflects that to you.
So I love this.
You know, I'm always talking about what I call spiritualists. You know, those are spiritualists, spiritual gurus who tell you what you should be doing, but their lives are shit, you know what I mean. And you know these people, You've seen these people like they've always the peace, love
and life, but everything is falling apart. You know. They're constantly talking about how they're of high mind and high frequency and preaching all of these things about what you should be and what you should be doing, which I don't believe in anyway. But at the same time, the lives around them reflect chaos. Nothing is going well. Everything's a mess. They're depressed, they're you know, doing all of
this in the background. When you are actually in the space of raising your frequency, raising that vibration, the universe will will reflect that back to you. Things will be easier. You know, people of low frequency that you've been around forever might drop away. You have new people in your life that are people that you admire and respect. Jobs come easier, you know, relationships, whatever it is that you're looking for starts to come in. So I think that's
the best way of knowing how you doing. You know how am I doing? Yeah?
And I was thinking as you were saying that, was thinking kind of going back to the you being cocky kind of a thing you do talk about like if you're scared or unsure or something that doesn't help your case with fighting these demons, And is that sort of the same thing with somebody that's trying to overcome one. It's like, you have to be powerful if you start, if you go back to that dark and we weakened state, they will feed off of you and grow.
Is that Is that right? Yeah? I mean you want to move yourself from a space of vulnerability to strength, and you're working on your frequency and on my Instagram and stuff, I give people tips on how to do that. But like working on that raising that vibration, it does two things. It brings you closer connected to spirit, which is a positive. So those high beings, you know, those entities from above, It brings you closer to them, makes
your communication with spirit clearers. You get messages more often, you get information. These things are different, and it also brings you into your power. It also strengthens you from the inside out. It starts with the energy and you notice a shift in the way you think after that. So in other words, you know, like instead of telling people, well, let's do this meditation and then having you know, creative people too have a really hard time with mechanical meditation.
They can't turn their brains off, and that's part of meditation, right, So it's like, Okay, forget the brain, don't worry about your brain yet. We're going to start on your energy first and your brain's going to follow. That is kind of the key to connecting to spirit and raising the vibration.
Okay, Yeah, I found it interesting that you were talking about like if you're an asshole, like you can take away the entity, but if someone's an asshole, they're an asshole.
Is that well, yes, that is real life. I mean, listen, if you want to raise your vibration and you're an asshole, that I commend they want you to do that because that will change your life in a big way. But I mean realm walkers in particular, like people always ask me well, these kinds of devil energy creatures that are when we have several on the planet. Unfortunately they're not as common as everything else. But it's like, you know,
are they making people bad? And the reality is that they're attracted to people who are already wanting to be that right now, some keeps are scarier than their entities.
Let's put it that way, all right. Well, that concludes the first part of my conversation with Rachel.
