(CBS5) The presence of the supernatural and the influence of voodoo long have been synonymous with New Orleans.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, members of the U.S. military are saying that there's something spooky going on and it's not just images of death and destruction that's haunting them.
By all accounts, the Sophie B. Wright Middle School in New Orleans sits empty and evacuated except for military personnel who have taken over the campus as a staging site for missions around the battered city.
But the men in uniform have the feeling that they're not alone. It prompted a chaplain to utter this directive: "In the name of Jesus Chris, I command you Satan to leave the dark areas of this building."
Said Sgt. Robin Hairston of the California National Guard: "I was in my sleeping bag and I opened by eyes and in the doorway was a little girl," . "It wasn't my imagination."
Hairston wasn't the only one seeing things. Spc. Rosales Leanor had her own close encounter.
"I was using the restroom and I just saw a little shadow," Leanor said, "kind of looming in front of me."
Another member of the Guard unit said that she saw and heard a little girl laughing when she opened a closet that contained cleaning supplies.
At a Baton Rouge marina, boats were strewn like trash, but not a shred of paper could be found. Except for the pages of a Bible, which was found by a soldier. It was open to the Book of Revelations.
At a nearby church, nearly destroyed, another Bible was found, showing the exact same passage from Revelations.
Like the power of nature, there is a power at work in New Orleans that defies explanation.
Thx for the text post. Does anyone have any idea which chapter from Revelations was found?
I believe it. After my dad died, it sounded like someone walking through the house. It was a older home, with hardwood floors. Needless to say, I didn't tell anyone when it went up for probate auction. Heck, I'll bet whoever was walking, is sitting in the storage shed with the furniture : )
Reminds me of Metz (which happens to be my last name, but no relation to the person it's named after AFAIK) Elementary in Austin. It's supposed to be haunted and was even featured in a TV show.
BTW, which passage from Revelation were the Bibles opened to?
