Protection for Ghost Hunters

Protection

After many requests from our readers here and on other sites, I have decided to reinstate this page. We here at Eidolon make no claims that these prayers are going to protect you against the unknown...

Whether it be affirmations, Prayers to God, Angels or Saints, or the use of symbols and white light, spiritual protection is as important as a torch on any ghost hunt.

 Some reading this may scoff at such a suggestion, but they forget or have no understanding of the power of prayer. Prayer can build strength from within, comforting and calming one's mind so as not to be shocked or fearful of that which we don't understand...

...it is better to be safe than sorry...

 Affirmations

I am sealed from all imperfect energies. 

I am divinely protected and guided.  Any spirits that I encounter will remain bound to the confines of the cemetery/house/location.

May all that is not in accordance with the highest will of God, within and without my entire being, be immediately transformed into divine light.

In the name of God( or an Angel or Saint), please protect and guide me as I investigate [insert your location here], keep me safe from those that mean me harm

Visualisation

Visualise a bubble of white light around yourself, protecting the outer edge of your aura like a strong, flexible egg-shell. Your bubble can be filled with any colour that takes your fancy when you visualise it- blue is always good for protection. Experiment to see which colour you feel most comfortable with. Make sure that your bubble goes all around you- behind your back and under your feet too. Use your intention to ensure that the bubble repels all negativity, but will allow positive energies to flow through it. Put your bubble in place whenever you feel the need for protection. – and remember to KEEP REINFORCING IT!

Religious Protection - Part One

Religious Protection

Here we are offering information on Religious and Spiritual protection remedies used on ghost hunt expeditions, or in your own home.

We do not vouch for the validity of any of the protection suggestions having basis in scientific fact, or actually working - We offer them here purely for entertainment value and will not be held responsible for any resulting outcome, whether good or bad.

These will not be in depth philosophical statements on religion, or why and how faith works. The information on this page is a brief summary of some of the religious and spiritual prayers that we have come across in our time working in the paranormal community.

Prayers to Saints

Many paranormal teams offer prayers to God, Jesus or Saints before and after an investigation. You may have seen such noted investigators as the team from "Paranormal State" offering such prayers before each and every investigation.

Here are some of the prayers we have come across used by investigators

Short Prayer for Protection

The light of God surrounds us,
The love of God enfolds us,
The power of God protects us,
The presence of God watches over us,
Wherever we are, God is,
And where God is, all is well.St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke, St. John,
Like unto the prophet Jonas, as a type of Christ,
Who was guarded for three days and
Three nights in the belly of a whale,
Thus shall the Almighty God,
As a Father, guard and protect me from all evil.

Protect my Journey

In the name of God I go on this journey.
May God the Father be with me,
God the Son protect me, and
God the Holy Ghost be by my side.
Whoever is stronger than these three persons
May approach my body and my life; yet
Whoso is not stronger than these three
Would much better let me be!

Prayer for Protection Against Curses, Harm, Accidents

Lord Jesus,

I ask You to "protect" our Family (whom I mention by name) from sickness,

from all harm and from accidents.

If any of us has been subjected to any curses, hexes or spells,

I declare these curses, hexes or spells null and void in the name of Jesus Christ.

If any evil spirits have been sent against us,

I decommission you in the name of Jesus Christ and I send you to Jesus to deal with as He will.

Then, Lord, I ask You to send Your holy angels to guard and protect all of us.

Holy Water

Obtained from any Catholic church for a small donation, holy water is a well known religious symbol in the removal of possessions, it is also well known in the battle against vampires - how many vampire movies have you seen where they don't use it?

Once you have obtained your holy water, place it in a bowl small enough to carry - go to the entrance ways of your house and dip your fingers into the water - make a sign of the cross in the doorway.

Some people might add a prayer to this ritual, something like "Lord please protect this house " or " I banish all evil spirits from this house, in the name of The Lord, Jesus Christ"...

After doing the entrance doors, do all the doors and window in the house, the basement and attic if you have them as well or if you are not comfortable doing this yourself, you can ask your local Catholic priest to come and bless your house for you

Holy Water is a powerful spiritual armour.  St. Teresa of Avila, whose temptations were as terrible as anyone’s, has left us these wise words of counsel:  

   “I have found by experience that there is nothing from which the devils fly more quickly than from Holy Water.  They also fly from the Cross, but they return almost immediately.  Certainly, the power of Holy Water must be great; for my part, my soul feels particular comfort in taking it, and very generally a refreshment and interior delight which I cannot express.”   

  Long before St. Teresa of Avila, Holy Water was a sacramental in the Catholic Church.  Water, which as a symbol of purification held a high place in biblical times, has retained its rich symbolism. 

Red Door

In Catholicism, the red door on a chapel symbolized the blood of Christ, and other martyrs, to signify that the ground beyond the door (inside the church) was holy, and a sanctuary from physical and spiritual evils.

In Ireland, front doors are painted red to ward-off ghosts and evil spirits.

St. Michael Prayer

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Divine Power of God,
cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls

Original - Prayer to St. Michael

“O Glorious Prince of the heavenly host, St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle and in the terrible warfare that we are waging against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the evil spirits. Come to the aid of man, whom Almighty God created immortal, made in His own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of Satan.

“Fight this day the battle of the Lord, together with the holy angels, as already thou hast fought the leader of the proud angels, Lucifer, and his apostate host, who were powerless to resist thee, nor was there place for them any longer in Heaven. That cruel, ancient serpent, who is called the devil or Satan who seduces the whole world, was cast into the abyss with his angels. Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of men has taken courage. Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders about with all the multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order to blot out the name of God and of His Christ, to seize upon, slay and cast into eternal perdition souls destined for the crown of eternal glory. This wicked dragon pours out, as a most impure flood, the venom of his malice on men of depraved mind and corrupt heart, the spirit of lying, of impiety, of blasphemy, and the pestilent breath of impurity, and of every vice and iniquity.

“These most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and bitterness the Church, the spouse of the immaculate Lamb, and have laid impious hands on her most sacred possessions. In the Holy Place itself, where the See of Holy Peter and the Chair of Truth has been set up as the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep may be.

“Arise then, O invincible Prince, bring help against the attacks of the lost spirits to the people of God, and give them the victory. They venerate thee as their protector and patron; in thee holy Church glories as her defence against the malicious power of hell; to thee has God entrusted the souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude. Oh, pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan under our feet, so far conquered that he may no longer be able to hold men in captivity and harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so that they may quickly find mercy in the sight of the Lord; and vanquishing the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, do thou again make him captive in the abyss, that he may no longer seduce the nations. Amen.

V. Behold the Cross of the Lord; be scattered ye hostile powers.
R. The Lion of the tribe of Judah has conquered the root of David.
V. Let Thy mercies be upon us, O Lord.
R. As we have hoped in Thee.
V. O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto Thee.

Let us pray.

O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon Thy holy Name, and as supplicants, we implore Thy clemency, that by the intercession of Mary, ever Virgin Immaculate and our Mother, and of the glorious St. Michael the Archangel, Thou wouldst deign to help us against Satan and all the other unclean spirits who wander about the world for the injury of the human race and the ruin of souls. Amen.”

Alternative Protection

Alternative Protection

Here we are offering old superstitions, folk remedies and different ways to protect yourself on either, ghost hunt expeditions, or in your own home.

We do not vouch for the validity of any of the protection suggestions having basis in scientific fact, or actually working - We offer them here purely for entertainment value and will not be held responsible for any resulting outcome, whether good or bad.

We have only tested a few for ourselves and our outcomes have no scientific basis, just entertainment value, as we cannot get a ghost into a laboratory to see if this stuff actually works! 

Shoes

When you go to bed at night, set out the shoes you'll wear in the morning. Place them at the foot of your bed, on the floor, with one shoe pointing one way, and the other shoe pointing the opposite way. According to folklore, the ghosts get so confused by this they leave after a few nights.

Garlic

Garlic: is a tried-and-true repellent for unpleasant spirits of all kinds. Hang one clove in each doorway and window where you need protection. A clove in your pocket can also be a good idea.

Also used to keep Vampires (and some women) away

Haematite

 Wearing it, or even carrying a piece of this unusually heavy black stone, will absorb evil energy. This won't get rid of the ghost, just the negative effects of it.

 Mirrors

Convex Mirrors: can be purchased from automotive stores. Use one for each haunted room. You'll need extra mirrors if your windows in the haunted room face more than one direction. For example, if your windows face North and East, you'll need two convex mirrors. You'll also need an extra convex mirror if your computer or TV is in a haunted room, and your back is to the door when you're looking at them. Select one window in a haunted room. Place the mirror discreetly in a corner, preferably behind a curtain. The mirror should face towards the outside of the house. When a ghost approaches your window from the outside, he sees his own distorted reflection and goes away. In haunted rooms where you sit with your back to the door, place the mirror so that you will see anyone (or anything) entering the room, without turning your head.

Flat Mirrors: Buy one for each room that is haunted. Place the mirror at eye level, inside the room that is haunted, against the door. The shiny side of the mirror should face the door itself, not you. Supposedly, the ghost looks through the door and sees his reflection in the mirror. This scares him away.

 Grain Counting

Sand, rice, split peas, etc.: Randomly toss rice, split peas, sand, salt, coffee beans or grounds, or anything small and granular, on your kitchen floor when you go to bed at night (if that's when the ghosts are most bothersome). According to folklore, the ghosts will pause to count the grains. They aren't very good at counting, so they have to start over again, repeatedly, or they forget the numbers.

One variation of this is to hang a vial or tube of sand in the window of any haunted room. Like the grains of rice on the kitchen floor, any entering ghost has to pause to count the sand granules. After a few nights, the ghost will give up and haunt somewhere else.

 Salt

Salt has to be the best known of all the protective minerals - it is used by Wiccans, pagans and many other spiritualists to cleanse and protect themselves, and their abodes.

According to legend, ghosts cannot cross a line of blessed salt so you can use it to keep a ghost in a particular area or create a circle of protection. Some people like to have their salt blessed too.

Sea Salt: According to legend, ghosts cannot cross a line of blessed salt so you can use it to keep a ghost in a particular area, or create a circle of protection. Some people like to have their salt blessed too.

Space Clearing

Sage, Salt, Crystal and Incense:

Sage sticks or incense can be used to clear the energy in houses - it is best to open all the doors and windows of the house, light the stick, and slowly go from room to room.

Take the stick into corners of rooms where energy builds up or becomes stagnant, in cupboards - anywhere and everywhere really...

Bells also work in the same manner, as do Tibetan singing bowls (which can be purchased cheaply from eBay)

A little more info about Bells:

 Hazelnuts

Really not sure on the history of this one - guess it would have to be from wherever hazelnuts originated from? (I wonder if Nutella works too?)

Hazelnuts have been used for protection since ancient times. Have a string of hazelnuts at every doorway into your house. You may want to bless the string in a ritual suited to your own religious beliefs or have your local priest bless it.

Herb Pouches

If you believe in folk magic, create a small pouch with several protection herbs in it. This could include- Five-Finger grass, cinnamon, and Echinacea. Along the same lines,
