Episode #26 Checking Dr House from Driveway

From the driveway you and Jordan start heading for the Doctor’s house, a sign is staked into the ground saying, ‘Do not enter after Dark’. “Good thing it’s still light out, hey Jordan, I can only imagine how scary it would be at night. Everything looks dead up there!”

The closer you come to the house the eerie it looks and feels! You head for the back of the house while Jordan wanders off on her own elsewhere. Crawling through what is left of a kicked in back door, entering a large kitchen, a smashed porcelain sink ripped from the wall sits on the floor. From habit, you flick the light switch on, to your surprise it works! An eerie darkness radiates from the kitchen corner, sweating negative energies catching your eye.

Instantly you make you way there, slowly inching through the kitchen thinking of how nice it once must have looked with oak cupboards, a marble countertop and double porcelain sink with a built-in china cabinet. An old icebox and potbelly stove still sits in their proper places with a broken double window between them.

You continue on, taking your first step into darkness, leading to the basement. Each step seems to find more darkness, a strong stench of death becomes stronger and stronger the closer you get to the basement. Once on the bottom stair a light begins to shine giving forth signs of a sacrificial pit sitting in the corner of the first room you walk through. A hole has been dug in what is now a dirt floor, you can tell a small animal’s life has been taken in that pit!

Stopping to say a prayer, “May you rest in peace poor fella. May your sacrifice never be used for evil.” You take a handful of dirt and with a blessing of purity you sprinkle it upon the animal and continue on your way.

Next is found what once must have been the most amazing sunroom, a wall of windows from floor to ceiling allowing sun to shine brightly upon your face spreads across entire exterior wall. You walk through a kicked in door even though no glass remains within these window frames. Once outside sadness sets in, every piece of possible living organism, be it trees, bushes, flowers or even weeds are all dead. Like the life had been literally sucked out of them. Not even a bird or bug is in the sky.

You walk around the backyard noticing how the house is built into the side of a hill just like your Uncle’s house out at the farm. To your right is found a hand chiseled stairway from a huge stone within the hill itself. As each foot takes a step up you imagine how strong the person would have to of been to achieve such an amazing half circular staircase!

Walking around back you run into Jordan, “Hey there you are, where have you been?”

“I was checking out the amazing handmade bridge over on this side.” Jordan points to your right, “Too bad everything is dead, there is some really nice bushes and trees over there. Where were you?” Abit hesitant, “I was checking out the handmade staircase over here. I noticed everything is dead over there too. Wonder why?”

“Pretty creepy if you ask me. Should we go inside?” Jordan asks with a smirk on her face. Let me try the front door, see if it opens.” Jordan heads up the front stairs but unable to open the door, so she heads to the back door. “Wow, someone kicked the back door in. That’s rather rude wouldn’t you think?” She crawls through the door. You can hear Jordan as you crawl through, “Oh my God, someone has totally destroyed this place, I can’t believe how rude some people can be!” You notice how Jordan doesn’t even acknowledge the doorway to the basement continuing on into the next room.

You look over, only because there is now a beam of sunlight coming from the basement instead of darkness. Following Jordan there seems to be no major sign of further destruction until entering the living room. You stand facing a mirrored wall covering all but where the fireplace resides. No wait, it is not around a fireplace rather it is only a reflection from the mirror across from the fireplace?

Turning to get a better look, you notice the word REDRUM written, in blood, above the fireplace. Looking back into the mirror you again read it, MURDER! Next to this is a hand drawn upside-down picture of a cross with Lucifer, written in blood, circling around it.

Your stomach twinges, almost cramping, begging to repeat in your head instantly, “I pray the Great Devin may stop any evil being used within these walls. Keep it free from harm. No evil may ever roam freely within this home, ever!

From the hallway comes a voice, its not Jordan. You call out for Jordan, getting no response. Instead, all you hear is a man sobbing over his handmade spindles being damaged. Again, you hear a man’s voice, “Please, you have to help! They are destroying my home! Please help me! They are sucking the life out of my home!”

The harmony of baby birds chirping runs rampant through all three bedrooms on the second floor, drowning out a man’s voice. Sadness fills the air as you make your way upstairs noticing many broken hand carved spindles on your way by. At the top of the stairs is two smaller bedrooms on your left with the master bedroom on your right.

Both smaller rooms have one window with a bird’s nest nestled close to the wall. Each containing two baby birds. Sparrows in one and robins in the other. The master bedroom contains two windows both with blue jays hovering above nests feeding their young. Such a beautiful sight.

When walking back towards the winding staircase you find Jordan in tears sitting on a stair with a broken spindle in her hands. You hear a man’s voice again, “Can you help me please? They are destroying my home!”

Jordan is the one talking not some man! Yet she sounds just like a man? Trying to keep faith, you ask Jordan. “Can you hear me? Are you alright?”

Jordan doesn’t respond. She just continues sobbing uncontrollably with a spindle in her hands crying over how she can’t fix her staircase. Goose bumps engulf your entire body, from top to bottom, filled with an overwhelming urge to run.

You race over to Jordan grab her hand and begin to pray, “I release this spirit who now resides within you” helping Jordan to her feet you continue, “May you find peace within your home, no evil shall remain only love is allowed to stay!”

You walk Jordan through the house to the basement doorway continuing downstairs, “I bless this home and release all evil that ever tries to reside here again!” You walk Jordan through the sunroom, allowing the sun to beam down upon her as you walk through the broken door to the backyard. You see the long driveway before you leading to a wooden fence held together with a large double gate waiting to be opened. As you walk Jordan down the driveway you end your prayer with a toss of your right hand behind you saying, “RIP my friend, your home will be safe from evil from now until the end of time!”

Jordan seems snapped back to reality long enough too realize something amazing must have just happened, “Wow! Did you just really do that? Everything around you and I has come back to life. It’s full of love and life now!”

You look back now seeing the Doctor’s home surrounded with life, his yard is filled with Saskatoon berry bushes, chokecherry bushes, honey suckles, oak trees, maple trees, willow trees, flowers even lilac bushes all in full bloom. The fragrance of life follows you to the gate, where you find a sign stating,

‘Welcome to the Native Lands, Congratulations you made it!’

OMG! You made it to the Native Lands, this is amazing, like no other place you could imagine! You will do special things while upon the sacred lands, attending a Native Sundance.
