I am Haunted: Living Life Through the Dead by Zak Bagans, Kelly Crigger

the pain coming on and started screaming “Lockhart,” as if the spirit of Lockhart was attacking him. DJ Fly survived, and later I sent a camera crew to interview him. He said he believed that Lockhart was trying to kill him, as if Lockhart was trying to prevent Fly from coming to speak with me.
    Recently, an exorcist, Father Andrew Calder, died from a stroke. He faced a lot of demons and fought them toe-to-toe over the years, and when I looked into his case it sounded similar to the other ones I’ve described. There seems to be a pattern to all of them. They all point to a connection between drained power sources, threats, attacks, strokes, heart attacks, and even death.
    Think about this: If demons and negative spirits have the power to drain batteries, make large electronic devices malfunction by short-circuiting electrical currents, and interfere with carefully engineered electronics, then imagine what they can do to the electrical impulses within your body. And yes, we all have electrical impulses within us. Disrupting those electrical messages can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
    Here’s a great explanation of the body’s electrical system:
    “Have you ever wondered what makes your heart beat? How does it do it automatically, every second of every minute of every hour of every day? The answer lies in a special group of cells that have the ability to generate electrical activity on their own. These cells separate charged particles. Then they spontaneously leak certain charged particles into the cells. This produces electrical impulses in the pacemaker cells which spread over the heart, causing it to contract.” *
    Most strokes are caused by some form of arterial blockage, but some (simple strokes or cerebral hypoperfusion) are caused by a lack or disruption of blood flow to the brain, usually due to cardiac arrest. So there’s a cause-and-effect at work here that we can call the Demon Stroke Theory:
    1. Demons interfere with the electrical impulses of the heart.
    2. The heart goes into cardiac arrest.
    3. The cardiac arrest causes a stroke.
    Sure, it’s a theory, but we have to start somewhere if we want to fight this evil, and to me that’s worth all the risks even if scientists and skeptics disagree. My most valuable research in this field doesn’t come from spending time with scientists or being in a lab; it comes from spending hour after hour after hour around spirits. Scientists don’t believe in the paranormal because they can’t explain it (and don’t want to). They have to observe everything or it doesn’t exist to them. Observation is a critical part of the scientific method, which is why evolution is and always will be a theory, because no one was there to observe it over millions of years (despite mountains of evidence virtually proving that it happened).
    Skeptics always say, “Science can’t explain it.” It’s their mantra. But science can’t explain a lot of things. Until a few years ago, it was believed that there were no Earth-like planets in our galaxy that could sustain life, but now we’re finding them by the dozens every week. There are things we just can’t control or even understand yet, and the spirit world is at the top of that list.
    I’ve done investigations where I was able to get paranormal activity on cue, but that doesn’t mean I can go to a lab and bring ghosts with me so that scientists can study them at their leisure in their own controlled environment. So even though I’ve experienced hundreds of paranormal events using the same equipment scientists use, paranormal investigators will always be second fiddle to them. I believe that I’m truly defying most skeptical scientists with my findings, such as the unusual evidence we collected at the Stanley Hotel with Bill Chappell.
    We have to understand that we’re dealing with the unexplained. We only know what we can see, hear, smell, taste, and feel; everything else is just a theory. Sometimes I feel that we
