A conversation with a high school friend (2 of 2): New house.

So, my one friend from high school who now teaches high school math was telling me about how he had boughten a house after his divorce and was glad to find something at a decent price, but then the realtor kind of laid it out for him and was like "Ummm" and had to fill him in that the last owner had committed suicide in the house, though she assured him that they still had a month and the money was in escrow and he could back out at any time if he wanted.

And, every night, he said, he was so upset, he had just all this anxiety, that he would move in for a better house for his kids, the one he could afford, and they would end up possessed or something.

So, he went to (Catholic) church a lot, and cried sometimes, and once when he was praying, he just mentally saw a statue of Saint Jude.

He also decided to reach out to this reikki practitioner who had channeled his ex-wife's mother after her tragic passing -- "If that helps you with it, fine," he was like, "If it works, it works" -- since he was thinking to himself, "Who would know about stuff like this," and it was then that he remembered the reikki lady.

So, the reikki lady came to do a walk-through, and when they were outside the house as she began it, she was like, "I'm getting the sense that you need to bury a statue here," and he had never told her about what he had seen at all.

Also, in that first part of the walk-through, the neighbor came over and was like, "Whacha doin'," and as soon as they left, the reikki lady was like, "They were involved in his suicide," but she couldn't tell him anything more.

During the walk-through inside, too, she said that it would end up fine as long as he did what she said, the spirit was ready to move on, and then when they were in the basement, there was like a lifesize metallic-looking shield and sword and helmet that the guy had made for Dungeons and Dragons, and the reikki lady was like, "And those, you burn those, don't keep them, don't give them away, you burn those."

So, he felt a lot better after everything happened, though when he went to burn the stuff it was during a forest fire alert and someone noticed and he was only a few minutes in when a fire truck pulled up and went to dowse his small backyard fire with this big hose that they pulled through the sideyard and around the house, and it was from them that he found out that the local fire chief is his neighbor, like four or five houses up.

He also said that the next time he saw his neighbors, the husband was like, "Nice guy, we never had any problems with him," and then he said that a week before the suicide, their dog accidentally got out and ended up chasing the former owner's cat and then he got mad and came over and talked to his wife just when she was getting in the car and she got scared and locked the doors and so he got even madder, and so then when he found out later he had to go over there and tell him never to talk to his wife again, so it was just that one time, but yeah, other than that, he was a nice guy.
