Thanks for the explanation. How does it manifest itself? Do you hear or see these spirits, or is it just something you sense, or a voice you here, or what?

Manifestation is different for different people. I would assume that's up to the HS and likely has much to do with the faith and preparedness of the person. Some can see the spirits, Some merely get a sensation like dread that builds as one approaches the thing, Some are tipped by a sensation of smell - not my favorite because it usually is quite foul (like the smell of raw sewage in a septic system). A lot of times one will get a mix of these. These are the ones most common in my experience.

Some years ago I began to have powerful "smell" sensations best described as the odor of burning sulphur.

In the final analysis it proved to be an "aura" as a result of epilepsy caused by a severe fall which cracked my skull. I didn't know at the time that it was a "sanctifying" episode. In fact, I still don't see the connection. I simply thought it was just one more condition I had to learn how to live with. ;-)

This is really spooky stuff. Were you born like this? Can you control it? With all the evil in this world I would think you would be a basket case.
