I'd taped over the weekend and this one was all about religion. But the second segment was really fascinating about a young Hindi woman, now living in Canada, who recounted her experience in India as a child living in a mansion that housed about 10-15 families living communally, and her new home in Canada.
She seemed about 10-11 at the time when she woke up to a severe slap across the cheek and there was no one in her room and she started praying to her gods and fell asleep. The next morning there was a definite red slap mark across her face. This was followed by waking up by a shadowy entity holding her down and she can't struggle free and she can't scream. But before it can get any further, it always pulled back.
She had lots of other kids to play with in the building but one day she went searching for someone to play and the whole building was unusually empty. During her search, Lord Krishna appeared in a hallway, standing there in his blue glory with a golden jeweled flute and with his consort (Rada?). Rada motioned to her to come toward them and Krishna offered her his flute but she was too stunned to accept it, even though he said you don't have to be afraid. Then Rada said, Krishna, we have to go. And the girl finally asked them to stay but they turned around, walked away and disappeared.
Then she went running around the house looking for them and everybody was back and she asked them where had they all gone? Lord Krishna was here! Her friends said, Are you crazy? Where did you go?
This entity thing followed her to Canada, continuing it's haunting but while she is awake and as usual, it would stop. During one of these happenings, Lord Krishna and Rada appeared again watching her and the shadow entity events completely stopped and she believes to this day that Krishna saved her from the spirit trying to hurt her.
The other segment was about the haunting of a very religious Jewish family who had rented a formerly Christian home back in the '50s-'60s, I mean there were lots of paintings of saints still on the wall that her parents quickly took down. The haunting stopped after the anti-Semitic ghost, of a man who they all saw and had frightening experiences, disrupted their first Seder dinner there by levitating a knife and crashing it through a precious family plate. But she was more frightened by her dad's reaction when he shouted in Yiddish/Hebrew, "Satan is in this house!" I guess the Christian ghost didn't like being called Satan.
But the woman and the brother went back to the empty house years after they moved and had another encounter. They found out the house never stayed rented for long, people quickly moved in and out.
Now, how's that, OGR, for non-Christian hauntings and symbolism! But like you said, neither was in the States but it is fascinating that we all use our own beliefs, not just Christianity, to cleanse the darkness :hug:
