How did it go on thursday? This was still on my mind so I came back to check it out and was surprised to find the new updates.
I was wondering about what you taught them for self protection? Did you teach them pagan rituals? What religion do they practice if any?
The whole situation is weird. It's really bugging me. One thing that points to this being an entity more powerful then yet revealed: Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't two vulnerable young women on the same lay-line be an ideal situation for a malicious entity? And just like the strongest tiger hunts the most plentiful ground...
I have questions too.
Have you tried at all to enlist the help of the attached spirits from Girl 1, the scotsman and the 8 year old? It was suggested the girl gave the name zabeth. Maybe if they were contacted more directly they could over more help. I'd like to know if they are still there in any case.
About the picture you posted, was it a camera with a flash? The stuff on the bottom left looks like HVAC tubing ala brazil which would be reflective. Not sure what the smoke/hair looking stuff is. Any way you could post a picture of the same area except lighted?
Sorry for asking so much in one post, I hope I didn't re-ask any questions.

These are signs of a spirit called a "Hag" which have been said to have red eyes.
My next theory is that if it's centered around the girls it could possibly be poltergeist activity.
I'm not saying this is the case, but there is a theory that poltergeist activity is not a spirit at all but, in fact, pent up negative energy inside young girls manifesting itself in strange ways.
Bathory
Elizabeth was not alone in her 'unusual' interests. Aware of Elizabeth's complex preoccupations, and amused by them, her aunt had introduced her also to the pleasures of flagellation (enacted upon desolate others of course), a taste Elizabeth quickly acquired. Equipped with her husband's heinous silver claws, she generously indulged herself, whiling away many lonely hours at the expense of forlorn Slav debtors from her own dungeons. The more shrill their screams and the more copious the blood, the more exquisite and orgasmic her amusement. She preferred to whip her 'subjects' on the front of their nude bodies rather than their backs, not only for the increased damage potential, but so that she could gleefully watch their faces contort in horror at their most grim and burning fate.
Her husband died in 1604 (some say 1602) of stab wounds imposed on him by a harlot in Bucharest whom he had not paid, and Elizabeth immediately dreamed of a lover to replace him, since she never cared for him in the first place -- so much for her mourning. However, the mirror showed her that her prurient indulgences, as well as time, had taken their toll on her appearance. Her 'angelic' complexion had long since faded to something less than perfection; she had reached 43. Her desire for a lover did not fade; she raged deep within, cursing time.
Such a simple interest as a new husband was not to rule the day, it was merely a detail. With the demise of her husband, prowling highly placed men began to smell a ripe opportunity to seize the power and influence encapsulated in the Báthory name; likely by acquiring her and then eliminating her. As well, she was next in line to become King of Poland, and she wanted the job. This seeming anomaly was possible within the governing constructs of the time, and the office of queen held no political weight. At the same time, she was educated beyond all those around her, reading and writing four languages while the prince of Transylvania was an illiterate boor (who bathed regularly -- every year on his birthday).
Maintaining her youth and vitality became central to this developing plot; the absolute divine right to power she understood was hers to keep and protect would be essential to the attainment of all that she sought. Vanity, sexual desire, drive for political power all were seamlessly blended into a central primordial passion. If she lost her youth, she could forfeit all.
Her mood deteriorated markedly and one day, as she viciously struck a servant girl for a minor oversight, she drew blood when her pointed nails raked the girl's cheek. The wound was serious enough that some of the blood got onto Elizabeth's skin. Later, Elizabeth was quite sure that that part of her own body - where the girl's blood had dropped - looked fresher somehow; younger, brighter and more pliant.

Fantastic thread! Starred and flagged! I've had a few experiences myself so I was naturally interested. Apart from a few spoilers it's been very educational and interesting - I just read the entire thread in one hit! Hopefully there'll be no more activity in either house.

Will I think it is a complete fallacy to rely on the name of a demon. Perhaps this approach works with classic demonic possession but all the occultists that I know all say that there are millions of minor entities who can be quite dangerous and debilitating that have no name..
