“I need your advice on what’s going on regarding the series of deaths in my family.  Brief background: We’re seven kids, and I’m the youngest, now living in California.  I have four brothers (three passed away already) and two sisters (one in the hospital with a blood clot).

“After our mom died 16 years ago (December 1996), strange things began to happen to our family.  Year 1997, my brother (second to the eldest) had a blood clot, and was comatose for two years until he died July 1999.  He left his wife and three kids, who were still young at the time. Three years after (January 2002), my father (72) died due to a heart problem. After two years, our eldest brother had a heart attack; he was able to recover, but he was not as healthy as before. In June 2009, he passed away.

“A year after, June 2010, another brother of mine (fourth in the family) died in his sleep after getting the flu.  He was single and lived in our house in Muntinlupa. Then just yesterday, I received a call from my sister (sixth in the family) who told me that our sister (third in the family) felt dizzy and fell down.  She was brought to the nearest hospital; they found a blood clot in her head and she might undergo surgery.

“When our parents died, our house in Muntinlupa was never the same again.  According to my two sisters and nephew, they dream about our dead brothers and parents, as if they are watching over us.  My sister (who is in the hospital) told me that sometimes she sees and dreams about bad spirits strangling her.  The last time that I went home, the house looked different, dilapidated and had a heavy feeling.

“I always dream of my dead brother, who recently died, and of my mother.  In my dreams, I always went back to our old house in Muntinlupa, or in the old apartment that we rented when I was a student. The scenes in my dreams are of my brother watching over me, and my mother always cooking or preparing things before I go to school, which she used to do.

“Here in our apartment in California, I experience strange things, like the robot toy of my child suddenly making a sound.  One time while I was reading him a book and my son and I argued, the toy suddenly made a noise.  Another time, my husband and I were playing a game in Playstation (it was almost midnight) when suddenly it made a noise again.

“There were other previous incidents that happened in our apartment, like the spoons, forks and plates in the kitchen suddenly making noise.  Sometimes I also feel something or somebody standing behind me while I’m cooking, or feel somebody walk behind me while I’m in the kitchen.

“Then last week, when my husband was working on the third shift, only my son and I were in the apartment, and I dreamed that my dead brother (fourth in the family) was in our house. He wanted to sleep in our house and stay there.

“Would appreciate any thoughts you have on the above incidents. —Margie”

Strange and alarming

Dear Margie,

The series of deaths in your family is certainly strange and alarming. Assuming there is no rational or medical explanation for those deaths, then it’s time you look into other nonphysical causes.

Among the possible causes are:

1.     Your house may be located on top of negative earth rays. This can cause serious illness, mainly cancer, and deaths.

2.     It is possible that your house is inhabited by negative spirits which can cause sickness, and create disharmony and misfortune.

3.     Or somebody may have put a curse on the house, so that whoever lived there would have short lives.

Regarding your other questions, it is normal for you to dream of relatives who have newly departed because their spirits may be visiting you. Your brother, however, was not just visiting you, he wanted to stay there because he does not realize he is already dead.

It is possible for the spirit to follow a person wherever he or she is. If you were very close to your brother and he always watched over you when he was still alive, it is possible for him to be doing the same in the afterlife because his consciousness may still be focused on earth.

Your house looked and felt different after your parents and brothers died because it is now most probably inhabited by earthbound spirits.

You need to have your house in Muntinlupa investigated by a competent clairvoyant or medium who can see and talk to spirits to help them go to the higher planes in the spirit world. When this is done, you will no longer be bothered by them. Their spirits will then rest in peace.
