Paranormal investigators Cassidy O'Conner and Michael Rambacher were called out to Buffalo, NY, January 13, to assist with a possible case of demonic possession being studied by the Western New York Ghost Hunters.

The story now direct from Cassidy:

As cold as it was, my associate Michael and I braved the weather, as well as the windy awful roads to do the work tonight.

As we drew closer to the property, we discussed the case in great detail. Earlier in the week I was contacted by a local paranormal investigative group for help, for they had run into something they had no idea how to deal with. With all their gadgets and gizmos, they came up with the conclusion that they may have a demonic presence in the home being investigated.

The home in question was a lower apartment in a double rented house. A woman named Lisa occupied the downstairs apartment, along with her two dogs and a cat. She is single, and spends a lot of time with her girlfriends in a social bent while on her pursuit for Mr. Right. She was not a very spiritual woman until she moved into the apartment.

Her upstairs neighbor, Joanne, another single woman, was a very spiritually oriented person.

Joanne would come down stairs to see Lisa and talk of her conversations with the other side. Lisa was fascinated, but did her best to stay away from that line of thinking.

Joanne would tell of seeing many spirits in Lisa’s apartment. Lisa dismissed her upstairs neighbor’s tales of presences in her living space, until she stopped sleeping at night, and experienced moving objects.

Lisa lived with the odd circumstances for several months until she was so terrified to be in her apartment due to voices, strange sounds, and her granddaughter seeing a very vivid image of a man roaming throughout her home.

She called in Western New York Ghost Hunters in to do an investigation on the apartment and maybe give her some answers. While conducting the work, one of the investigators was using a tool known as a “Shack Hack” ( a hacked AM/FM radio that skips frequencies and provides for communication).

A very nasty conversation started with an entity that went by the name of Melchom. This entity also responded with answers of “we are the soul takers” and confirmed to the boys that it was in fact a demon.

Now, not being members of faith or ordination, or ever studying demonology, the boys were at a loss on how to proceed. They did not know how to deal with this problem, so they contacted me for advice. I asked them to forward my contact information to the woman, and if she needed my help, she would contact me when she felt comfortable to do so.

Within 24 hours, I got the call.

Lisa explained the situation to me and asked for the help. She simply wanted to sleep, and was getting to the point where she would no longer return to her apartment. So, tonight, Michael and I went in.

When we got to the apartment, we were greeted with hugs and relief.

My associate and I did a few standard checks with a couple pieces of equipment and sat down in the living room to explain to her exactly what was going to be done. During our explanation, her dogs became very uneasy, began to growl and yip from the other room. The woman upstairs began to pace, almost as if she knew what was happening below her. The energy in the room was changing, as it often does in cases involving more negative entities.

Michael started to remove his pieces from his bag, when the statue of Arch Angel Michael was brought out and set on the table I immediately got struck with a dizzy feeling. It did not like us there, and in my opinion was packing its bags when we walked through the door; for the demonic do not seem to appreciate us very much.

He placed the pieces as they were meant and lit the incense in his ancient Mayan Bowl. We began to move to every corner of every room and bless the home. Lisa and her girlfriend gave a hand with the blessing and began to feel better with every room completed. We finished the blessing, and talked for a while. Michael and I shared a few stories and assured her that she no longer had to be afraid anymore. We also gave her advice on how to handle this kind of issue in the future.

The woman explained that she was ready for a full nights sleep, thanked us, and we went on our way.

You know, in doing this work, the most rewarding thing is putting peoples lives back together. Helping others to maintain a normal lifestyle, and take away the chaos placed upon them. Whether it be from their environment, their history, or coming in contact with pure evil. We are here, to do the work, because it is our life's duty, and we are blessed to have the gift, and share it with others.
