My father could use a dowsing rod and he showed me one day. I thought he was playing games with me he wasn't. On our lot I have also witnessed balls of energy emerge from the ground via our RING security cam back in January 2023. I should the video to our firemen and they freaked out. They said it wasn't gas. I also sent a video to the SC Paranormal investigators. They told me it was inconclusive. Possibly the Moon. OK, but the Moon came down hill along my driveway one night and in front of a concrete retaining wall?
Possibly Ball Lightning?
I also sent the video to NASA. They confirmed getting same but I never heard back from them.
TBD
What is the origin of the myth?
“The early Christian philosophers adopted the Greek concept of the soul’s immortality and thought of the soul as being created by God and infused into the body at conception.”—The New Encyclopædia Britannica (1988), Volume 11, page 25.
What does the Bible say?
“The soul that sinneth, it shall die.”—Ezekiel 18:4, King James Version.
Regarding the creation of the first human soul, the Bible says: “Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul [Hebrew, neʹphesh].”—Genesis 2:7.
The Hebrew word neʹphesh, translated “soul,” means ‘a creature that breathes.’ When God created the first man, Adam, He did not infuse into him an immortal soul but the life force that is maintained by breathing. Therefore, “soul” in the Biblical sense refers to the entire living being. If separated from the life force originally given by God, the soul dies.—Genesis 3:19; Ezekiel 18:20.
The doctrine of the immortality of the soul raised questions: Where do souls go after death? What happens to the souls of the wicked? When nominal Christians adopted the myth of the immortal soul, this led them to accept another myth—the teaching of hellfire.
Compare these Bible verses: Ecclesiastes 3:19; Matthew 10:28; Acts 3:23
FACT:
At death a person ceases to exist

...I also own and read the Manual for Spiritual Warfare.
FYI one priest, our Pastor within the Catholic Church considers me spiritually gifted at the extreme right side of the Bell Curve among all Christens on earth.

FYI until we moved here in June 2017 I never encountered anything physically weird. Back in 2017 I began to hear footsteps along other weird noises coming from the master bedroom hall and the laundry room area, typically while wide awake between 3:00 - 4:00am. I wont get into the other spiritual stuff as that's a thread for another day. It got to the point in 2017 that I finally texted the owner and asked whether any one died in the 29 year old home as it was built in 1994. He said no. That no one had passed in the home. As a result of another matter I began to pray to God in 2017. That matter is connected to the footsteps, muffled music and people talking just off in the distance beyond our audible comprehension. Australian author Lewis Proud wrote about it in his book "Dark Intrusions". The noises, footsteps and distant conversations continued into Christmas week of 2018 and began to accelerate. As a result I began to pray to two uncles, my father in law and God to stop all of the above. All stopped by the 2nd week of January 2019 and never happened again. Back then I documented same on ATS on a Thread authored by Sled735 in Paranormal. RIP Sled.
In May 2023 we had painters paint the interior of our home. They used the front door as it leads to their truck in the driveway. On the 1st day the son got locked out as the dead bolt somehow engaged. This happened over six times and finally his father said WTF is wrong with you its a dead bolt as in NO spring.
Then the father started getting locked out. It also happened to him over a dozen times. Then on the last day I was in the dining room, the son was in the front hall and the father went outside to the truck. He was 6 feet from the door when we saw and heard the dead bolt move and make a pronounced lock noise. We all said WTF and both father and son began looking at the lock to see if they could replicate the movement. They couldn't. That lock is a Baldwin.
Once they finished painting in May I continued remodeling the home. I removed and replaced the steel man door to the garage along with a brand new Schlage F51A GEO 619 Georgian Door Knob, Keyed Entry Lock, Satin Nickel. Once the door is opened from the inside the lock disengages. Well its supposed to as I have been locked out twice since. Last week the man door lock to the downstairs locked me out. I was so pissed I put my shoulder into it and busted the lock and door. I will simply buy another door. F it.
So today is July 5, 2023. I awakened last night around 3:00am and once again heard stuff. The noise was so pronounced near Sam's litter box I rushed from my bed. He wasn't in the litter box and he was sound asleep on the upstairs stairs.
Today I sent an email to the South Carolina Paranormal Research and Investigations requesting help. I saw on their Facebook page they were just here in our town last week performing another paranormal investigation on a personal residence. I would love to hear what they discovered. My question to them is will my trail camera which is a night vision satellite connected cam, can it be used to observe any paranormal activity inside a residence. I also wrote them that both painters agreed to be witnesses as I asked them on their last day of work here. So we have three witnesses.
If you are wondering how I can stomach this sheet, I have had been exposed to it for years. On the other matter I had Father Robert Morey at our home back in 2021. He blessed our home and gave Sam and I a clean bill of health as he said we didn't sizzle when he sprayed holy water on us. He's a Vatican trained Exorcist. He did say that I have been under Spiritual attack for some time and he told me what to do to fight it. He went onto say that many whom perform good roles in life such as police or firemen also experience Spiritual attack. He also said we may have to move.
As of 2021 I have returned to church and pray the rosary weekly. That was my agreement with him along with several other items so as to be under the Spiritual protection of the Catholic Church. We since bought another lot and meet with the Architect next week. Regardless of what you think of what I have written, the situation remains fluid and I will provide updates via same thread.
FYI my spiritual baggage has been around for decades. As such another Pastor in the Catholic church told me that I am spiritually gifted at the far right extreme of the Bell Curve among all Christians.
Thank You ATS
.In June 2006 it was the weekend and I slept in and I had the weirdest dream ever.Lets just say that the man I saw in that dream ,I met six months later or maybe we just stared at each other,him utterly terrified or shocked out of his mind.One thing I never understood was how can someone have a dream and then feel like they are in love with someone they never met before.Fast forward, some kind of spiritual awakening.
