                                                                                                         The Elementals   
                                           
                                                     Fact or Fiction

                                    
                                
What are Elementals? Talk to anyone in the paranormal field and you will probably hear as many different
                           stories as their are investigators. Over the milenium they have been referred to as Nymph's, Troll's, Elf's, 
                           Dryad's, Dwarf's, Faun's, Poltergeists, Undine's and a host of other names. In fact the 13th century
                           philosopher Paracelsus explained Elementals as a group of nature spirits derived from natural elements.
                           These spirits are much more inclined to malevolence or mischief, however they can be down right 
                           dangerous. Elementals are supposed to be only visible to those people possessing 2nd sight and are held
                           responsible for trickery, cheating, and general discord between humans.  
                           The belief is they are part animal, part human, part demon. Many times people will describe them as a freakish
                           looking clown like creature or children will say they see something like a shark or wolf in their room. One
                           thing we hear all the time is that they have shark teeth. They are reported to be short with pencil thin
                           arms and legs, but don't let that frail appearance fool you they are extremely strong. They may at times
                           manifest themselves as a floating orb often being seen in family pictures seeming to follow the family or
                           the person they are attached to everywhere they go. They will usually prey on the weak link in a family
                           such as a child or elderly person. In typical demon fashion they hide in the shadows waiting for the
                           opportunity to create havoc within the family unit. Some believe they can tear a family apart by creating
                           discord among the members. Children will have constant nightmares many times not willing to sleep alone
                           and for very good reason. If the Elemental is in your child's life chances are they are being tormented by
                           them especially at night when they are most vunerable. 
                 
                           Once the Elemental begins to speak to an individual they can drive them mad. You have to deal with
                           them firmly right from the start. If they sense any fear in you the attachment will begin.
                           It is believed some people and families have life long attachments. You may live with these entity's
                           around you and not even know it. We don't know why some people are effected and some are not. One 
                           thing for sure is that once they come into your life they are very difficult if not impossible to get rid of. 

                          

                          
 How do we handle this being when they come into our lives? There are a few tips and warning signs we can
                           offer. We have found that families who have constant turmoil within are prime candidates for the Elemental.
                           There is usually one person who becomes the main target. In true demon fashion they usually pick on the most
                           vunerable person in the group. Sometimes voices will be heard or shadows will be seen, but these are tame
                           happenings compared to what some families go through. These beings sometimes referred to as Poltergeists can 
                           become downright nasty.

                           
                           There are many out there that believe the Elemental can be controlled to do thier bidding both good and bad.
If
                           you follow the Wiccan/Pagan belief system then you will be able to control the Elemental. There is a belief that
                           the Elemental comes from these elements, earth, water, air and fire. The dark side of Pagen belief will 
                           will tell you they come into your life through witchcraft or a curse. Could this be true? Families controlled by 
                           an Elemental often have bad luck and tragedy that follows them. So is it a curse or is the Elemental already  
                           there from the beginning eating away at the fabric of these families. Do they follow one generation after another
                           creating havoc. You would almost have to believe so. How many times do we see families who from one
                           generation to the next are constantly trying to find themselves, but can't quite get a handle on what's going on
                           around them. Their lives are out of control yet no one can step forward and put a stop to the insanity. This is
                           where the Elemental is at it's best destroying the very fabric that bonds families together forever changing all
                           involved. Amazingly sounds just like a demon. Is that what an Elemental is? A demon. It would seem so since
                           they do all the things we relate to the devil. They are described as being inhuman. If the belief is they are a
                           demon then can they possess us or take our soul when we die. Some believe they can. Although this would be
                           a contradiction in terms. Our belief system tells us that the devil is the one who can possess our souls. Then
                           how can an entity who is believed to be made up of man different components have that ability. How 
can an
                           entity who is believed to possess human qualities possibly be able to possess another human. They can't. They
                           can however manipulate and use the energy of souls that are trapped here on earth. The human soul who doesn't
                           choose to move on into the light when they die are prime candidates for the Elemental. It's not a possession of the
                           soul, but an manipulation. The trapped souls no longer know how to move on or for that 
matter they may not even
                           know thier dead. They are trapped in this sort of limbo state not knowing how they got there, but living a nightmare
                           that they can't escape. They need the help of clergy or family to let them know that they do not have to allow
                           themselves to be controlled by the
                           Elemental. They have a choice. Their choice is to accept the fact that their dead and move on to the next realm.
                           It's there right in front of them, but they have to acknowledge the fact that they have passed on first.

                                                                   
                                                                                               


                                                                                                
                                                                                              
The Elemental Criteria

                
                 
ELEMENTALS                The belief is the Elemental is part demon, part animal, part human. How could
              "THE ATTACHMENT"         this possibly be true. How could one entity be comprised of so many different
                                                             parts. There's no answer for that question that we're aware of. We've found
                                                             through our religious practices that we can weaken them, but trying to get rid
                                                             of them altogether is another thing. Even though we have weakened them to the 
                                                             point where they no longer harass the person they are attached to they still show
                                                             up in pictures of the person usually in orb form. 
                                                             Should the person who has the attachment be concerned. If you listen to a
                                                             Shaman the answer would be yes. Shaman call them Windago's or soul stealers.
                                                             A Shaman is a native american who is well versed on the subject of Elementals.
                                                             One would have to think this can't be a good thing come judgement day. Is this
                                                             creature going to steal our soul once we die? We have a number of photos that
                                                             we have collected that show when these being's enter a room they are always 
                                                             followed by orbs or points of light. Could these be the trapped soul's of spirit's
                                                             we are talking about.  

                FAMILIES IN CHAOS             The Elemental creates chaos. Most families don't even know what is going on around
                                                              them. They know their lives are in turmoil, but for the life of them they can't figure 
                                                              the cause. Most of the time an Elemental will target one person within the family
                                                              breaking them down so that they are a shell of what they used to be. The victim's
                                                              many times are diagnosed as being schizophrenic. They have anger issues and can no
                                                              longer communicate with others. If their married divorce is usually not far off. It all
                                                              begins so slowly, so methodically. The Elemental has nothing but time on it's hands
                                                              and will break down the family unit which makes it easier to do it's dirty work. We
                                                              have witnessed this scenario so many times now we know exactly what the cause is.
                                                              Creating awareness within the family that these things trully exist is the start of the 
                                                              battle in taking your lives and your home back. A family that accepts the fact that
                                                              they are under attack by an Elemental has a very good fighting chance at recovery.
                                                              If they continue to live in denial chances are the family will fall apart.
                            

                               CHILDREN ARE                
Unfortunately children are the main targets of the Elemental. These demons have
                                THE TARGETS   
            no consious. They will target the weak link in a family and that is usually our
                                                              children. Children are so innocent and so vunerable that they make the perfect victim
                                                              for this being. Night terrors are a common problem with children under attack. The
                                                              children are in such a state of terror that parents have difficulty waking them from
                                                              their dreams. Age holds no barriers for them.
                                                              One of the signature complaints from children are either seeing or dreaming about
                                                              animals or monsters having shark teeth. If there is one thing that the Elemental can't
                                                              hide is that sinister grin. A huge gaping smile with a mouth full of serrated or shark
                                                              teeth. If this coward of a being is ever going to manifest it will be to a child. There
                                                              are adults who see them, but for the most part it is the young who suffer. Parents 
                                                              will often find their child sleeping behind furniture throughout the home. They think
                                                              they have a problem child. A child who is severely overactive. A child who sleep-
                                                              walk's, has nightmare's, and claims to see monsters in their bedroom. What they
                                                              have is a child doing everything they possibly can to exist in their bizarre world. If
                                                              an Elemental is in your child's life it's probably talking to them. They usually come
                                                              in the middle of the night. When your children are most vunerable. Just think how
                                                              hard it must be for a youngster trying to comprehend what is going on around them
                                                              They can't articulate what it is that they are seeing because their brain is trying to
                                                              protect them by blocking out what is impossible to comprehend. They can't reach
                                                              out for help because they don't know how. It's a living hell

                                                                              
Even though we fully understand a parents frustration feeling like they can't do 
                                                              anything to help their child you should never confront an Elemental. This is best
                                                              left to the professionals. When your the dad your job is to protect your family at
                                                              all cost and do anything it takes to be sure they are safe from harm. Your first
                                                              instinct is to go into attack mode by calling out whatever is scaring your child. 
                                                              This is the biggest mistake you could make. The Elemental is a coward and is
                                                              much more likely to take out your aggression on the children.
                                                                                                          

                                                                                         

                             ELEMENTALS                     When an Elemental has a foothold you will think the gates of hell have opened                  
                                        &                                 
and released all of it's venom. Multiple Paranormal Phenomenom is something
                  MULTIPLE PARANORMAL         that is a constant in these hauntings. Paranormal investigators often have trouble
                          PHENOMENOM                 trying to figure out what is going on around them. Many times they will call in
                                                              psychic's and medium's to see if they can get a handle on the paranormal
                                                              activity yet walk away even more confused. These beings are different then
                                                              your run of the mill spirit. The belief with the Elemental is that they can trap
                                                              spirits with them and manipulate them to do their bidding. 
                                                              

                           
                          The Elemental
                           Fighting Back
              
Those familiar with the Elemental will tell you they are not a true demon.
                                                              The belief is that it is the sum of many parts. Part human, part demon,
                                                              part animal and part of the element from which it comes from. The 
                                                              elements involved are fire, water, air and the earth. No one really knows
                                                              exactly where or how these beings got here, but one thing we can tell you
                                                              is that they are here and they don't want to leave. When an Elemental is
                                                              attached to a person or family those individuals lives are usually filled with
                                                              bad luck, illness and a sense of dread. When you enter a home that is
                                                              haunted by an Elemental you will immediately feel what can only be
                                                              described as oppression. The presence of these beings is so negative that
                                                              even those who are not sensitive to the paranormal can feel it. You have to
                                                              find the source of their existence to defeat them. These demons are dangerous, 
                                                              but are suseptable to our religious practices. Just like an animal it will attack
                                                              with a vengence once cornered and could seriously injure someone. This is  
                                                              not for the faint at heart. This battle will have to be fought on many fronts.
                                                              It is very rare to banish an Elemental the first time out. For the demon hunter
                                                              it will usually take many return visits to defeat it. You will need the
                                                              absolute full cooperation of everyone involved. We incorrectly refer to it
                                                              as a haunting, but it is more of an attachment. 

                                  
                             ELEMENTALS                   It seems that when we have an Elemental haunting objects do tend to disappear.       
                            
         &                          Now we haven't been able to prove any of this, but it is worth mentioning. We 
                    MISSING  OBJECTS            have had a number of cases where objects have disappeared only to reappear in
                                                            the same spot they went missing from. It seems that someone is playing a joke.
                                                            Could it be the Elemental? We have never told anyone about this phenomenom
                                                            prior to conducting any of our investigations, but we have been notified by clients
                                                            about objects missing and then reappearing. This is just another part to this strange
                                                            story that can't be explained. 

                 
                  
                         ELEMENTALS                       Native American's have a cautious respect for the Windago or as we call it Elemental.
                              &                           They call them soul stealers. A Shaman would tell you to stay clear of the Windago.
                NATIVE AMERICANS                 
Having them attached to you can only mean one thing and that is when you die your
                                                            soul will be stolen for eternity. Most Shaman will stay clear of hauntings involving
                                                            the Windago. Their respect comes from eons of stories passed down by their elders.
                                                            I believe that true Shaman are of great value on paranormal investigations. Even with
                                                            the abuse of the term Shaman on the internet there are some that possess unique 
                                                            abilities that are quite amazing. Their in tune with the elements. They can tell you 
                                                            when nature's not in sync. This abilitiy to tune in to nature allows them to sense 
                                                            when the Windago is present.
