Spider Demon of Winters

SPIDER DEMON:
In regard to our case in Winters, there is an entity that resembles a spider. Many demonic cases throughout the world, there have been reports of demonic presences that resemble spiders. It has been said that people who have visitations from spider demons have usually walked off a righteous path, they then find themselves flying in a no-fly zone where danger exists. In that no-fly zone are spider webs, waiting to capture hapless victims that have fallen into sinful ways. Once the victim is enticed into the spider’s web, a spider demon quickly comes out and begins to bind the victim with cords of guilt, shame and embarrassment. After the victim is tied down with such a burden, the demon effortlessly plunges his or her poisonous fangs into their lives and begins to suck the very life right out of them until they are dried up as a dead lifeless bug who was eaten alive by a real spider. In the spiritual world, demons prey on righteous people that have strayed as a real spider preys on its victims. When we go down the wrong path, we enter the no-fly zone, and are vulnerable to spiritual danger. Once the demons latch a hold of us, they do not want to let go… they will attempt to bind us up so tightly with guilt, shame and embarrassment, that we are unable to fight. Full demonic control the victim will hear soothing voices and whispers. Those voices and whispers will tell the victim to harm someone, to commit suicide. The demonic force wants to possess the victim’s soul. The demon wants family discord, self- destruction in the form of mutilation, household mayhem. Full demonic possession (attachment) can lead to incarceration, suicide or death by unnatural causes. Tonight we must be warriors and remember: 1 Peter 5:8, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” After this investigation, a fully submerged baptism is necessary and a strong house blessing. God be with us.

FROM LAURIE MZTAKEN, HPI RESEARCHER FROM ENGLAND:
YES! OUR RESEARCHER FROM ENGLAND IS BACK! TAKE IT AWAY LAURIE:

Sorry this is so late in the evening getting to you. The town is small and there was little available to me on-line as far as more recent records go. It was like trying to break into Fort Knox and I refused to give up without a fight!
The house itself was built in 1929. I would love to find out who the original owner was but would have to request a lookup from the local historical society.

I did find about 500 “Winters” newspaper articles from the CA digital archives. There were the typical fires associated with early pioneer days, floods, and an earthquake that destroyed much of the original settlers homes and a few of the lodges. But most of the articles were agricultural in nature, or society columns. Things such as a children’s grades, lost letters at the post office, visiting preachers, and what young girls wore to a social made the news. The crime rate was rather low, as it is today. (Less than half the crime rate of the national average)

Most if the deaths were accidental in nature. The saddest were articles of young children being scalded to death, or drowning.
I did keep an eye out for suicide/murders. I found very little mentioning suicide, though a few were hinted at. It was as I expected. Back them, much like today, the topic was rather taboo. The facts were either omitted, or deaths declared accidental for various reasons, including religious and cultural beliefs.
I also looked up the suicide stats for Yolo county. Though there are quite a few attempts, actual death by suicide seems to average at about 15 per yr.

Edwards was a wealthy, well educated man. He was a prohibitionist and ran for office in 1898 as a non partisan, but lost. He owned many properties locally and in other counties, including a profitable ranch in Colusa Co. Some of his properties were rentals. I found one article where a 4 yr old was home alone and accidentally burned one of his properties down.

The towns namesake, Theodore Winters, was a nationally known race horse breeder. He bought thousands of acres in the area, including land from the Wolfskill family (first settlers). There was a lot of tragedy in his personal life. He was described in the local paper as a “capitalist” but lost much of his fortune later in life after trying his hand at politics.

HPI/PET Demonic Discovery Wetworks

FIRST BRIEFING:
Before this investigation started, we conducted a hedge of protection prayer. We conducted this prayer in the front yard. Miranda the owner of this house says that the woman entity is an old hag, with pointy teeth and black eyes, she will sit on the corner of the bed and stare at her father. If this entity sits on the chest of any of the occupants, it would be referred to as the Old Hag Syndrome, in which this demonic entity tries to suck the soul out of it’s victim, to suck out the breath. From what I have been told, she has not done this. Eleanor Lattner visualizes this house as having high EMF readings, pipe leakage, gas leakage and she feels that these may attribute to the paranormal hauntings. Jon’s team has Big Al, Shari, Miranda, Tracy, Quinn, Justin. Teresa’s team has Brooke, Tina, Mike, Patty, Chuck and Ben. Jon’s has Team Prometheus and Teresa’s team is Team Applesauce.

FIRST INVESTIGATIVE EVIDENCE BRIEFING:
On 3 recordings, Team Prometheus captured an EVP when they asked the entity what his name was, it sounded like the name Malphas. If the demon is Malphas, then we are dealing with the President of Hell and he is in command of 40 legions of demons, they are under his command. Tina is capturing all kinds of anomalies in her photographs, such as ectoplasm mist, strange white shapes. The shapes that she is capturing are in the house, there is no cigarette smoke causing these unusual shapes. As an experiment, I am having Tina and Tracy wander away from the teams and have them take pictures simultaneously together, to see if they can capture these strange anomalies on two cameras, proving that there is something actually at the location where both cameras are taking pictures at. Chris is dissecting the Malphas EVP, to see if the entity really said ‘Malphas’. Orb photos are being captured. Tracy captures a shadow anomaly in her photograph. One of the investigators captures a ‘get out’ male hoarse voice EVP. Shari captures a swish, swish, swish sound EVP outside by the side of the house. Miranda tells us that once when she was in the bathroom, a dark mass came at her, it scared her to death. Teresa said that they obtained intelligent pendulum communication that indicates there are 2 female entities and 1 creature entity. The entity communicated that they are being held here and that they can’t leave.

SECOND INVESTIGATIVE EVIDENCE BRIEFING:
Tracy is now obtaining strange misty figures in her photo. Tina’s camera died, so Tracy is now working with a new partner. In one of Tracy’s photo, it looks like the distinct face of an old lady. Chris says that the entity is not saying ‘Malphas’, but it is a name that starts with an M. Chris thinks it is saying Miranda with a Spanish accent after he dissected the EVP. Investigators capture an EVP that says Vida. Jon captures a partial full body apparition of a shadow, a figure of a man. Cameras have been dying. K2 meters have been going off like crazy. Investigators have heard whispering in their ears. Footsteps have been heard at the side of the house. I gave Miranda, the occupant 3 sage rolls, 1 frankincense bottle, 1 Myrrh bottle. Miranda’s father is in the 2nd floor room, so I cannot properly bless the home. I will set up a date and time to bless the home and possibly baptizing some of the members of the family. The third session is a impromptu séance, no EVPs are captured, because we cannot have the séance in the back room, close to where Miranda’s father is sleeping. The back room is Ground Zero, the hot spot. Special Note: Miranda says that she, her family and friends have obtained bruises on their arms, shoulders, necks, legs from the entities.

THE REVEAL:
With the strange anomalies in our photographs, the possible partial full body apparition photo and the EVPs, I truly believe there is a haunting in this home. I also believe a family member could have an attachment and if this is so, the house blessing would have not worked. I am going to keep in touch with the occupant and set up a date for the baptism of family members and a full-on house blessing. We conducted an End Hedge of Protection Prayer when the investigation was over.

Special Thanks: To Tina for the pizza. Big Al for the Burger King chicken strips and chocolate pie.
