Yeah, that's right.
The angels might protect you from actually getting killed by something nasty like that, but you can't just dispel them by praying real hard. Whatever they are, they're THERE, and they're NOT GOING AWAY just because you want them to.
I couldn't agree more. Whatever that angry presence was, I'm sure it would have hurt me if it had the power to do so. All it managed to actually do was ruin my sleep and make me a nervous wreck.
I used to know a woman who said that she once managed to successfully *threaten* a ghost, though she didn't make it go away. She told me she had moved into an old house for one summer, and shortly after moving in she started to hear the sound of a crying child up in the attic at night. She also separately got glimpses of a very angry-looking old man, glaring at her. Curious who the old man was, she did some snooping around in the neighborhood, and found out that the neighborhood scuttlebutt was that an old man who had lived and died there some years before was rumored to be a pedophile (but that was back in the days when people just lived with that, instead of doing something about it). She said that when she came home from finding that out, she stormed up to the attic, screamed out this old man's name, and yelled that if he EVER did ANYTHING to make that poor child cry in the night again, she was going to drag a priest in there and get him exorcised so fast it would make his head spin! She said she never heard the child crying again.
True story? I have no idea. Thought it was great, though.
