art bell
And probably myself.
This is a story I have never heard.
unidentified
It's probably a story you've never heard.
art bell
So that's all coming up.
Rules of the program.
No bad language.
Well, you know, I mean, no really bad language.
People are calling me on that.
Every now and then I'll say hell and damn, right?
Or something.
And so I'm not banning those, but you know what I mean, right?
No really bad language.
Can't allow it.
One call per show.
Now I have to define it, right?
Like the Supreme Court says, you know it when you hear it.
All right.
I have news on Abby.
Otherwise, known as KIC 8462852.
I think we're going to call her Abby, though.
Seems like a good name to me.
She discovered the star, right?
All right.
So here's the thing.
I have information inside information again.
I've had it now twice from NASA, once NASA itself, once JPL.
And now I have somebody inside the main scientific circles that are looking at all this right now.
And I'm not going to burn this person's name.
I understand that that makes you perhaps doubt a little bit what you're about to hear.
But I beseech thou, please go to artbell.com immediately.
Artbell.com, because I'm going to ask you to look at a chart, and I almost never ever do stuff like that.
But this is important.
Go to artbell.com, and right below tonight's guest info, you will find a chart.
This is the chart.
What this shows is the dimming of Abbey.
It's no minor matter, and the information I'm about to give you does come from inside the main scientists looking at this.
And that's all I can say.
You're just going to have to trust, and I do, that the information is accurate.
The first 16% dimming event was a weird one.
The light curve would suggest that the object is monolithic and triangular shaped.
This fact is what's driving all the scientific interest because that is exactly the kind of structure that you would build to announce your presence to the universe.
You don't see big, opaque triangles in nature.
It doesn't happen.
If the spectra show the object to be opaque when it comes back around, then it can only be explained as an alien megastructure that was probably constructed to announce the presence of the civilization.
That would imply that they wish to make contact.
unidentified
Whoo-hoo!
art bell
There is a slim chance it could well be conglomerated comet tails.
Very slim.
They too can appear triangular.
However, as you'll see in Graph C, and that's what I've got up for you right now, graph C of slate link below, well, below my guest, which is close up to the 800 event, what they call the 800 event.
That's the big dimming, right?
Notice how smooth the curve is.
As time goes on, it exponentially blocks more and more light until at the very end, it abruptly drops off.
That indicates that a perfect isosceles triangle passed in front of the star.
This is hot stuff I'm giving you this morning.
The Hubble Space Telescope is now on standby to look at Abby.
We'll call her Abbey.
The moment a dimming event is detected, the first second they detect any dimming, Hubble is ready to go.
They'll use the STIS instrument to look at the spectrum of whatever the object is and get this.
They may even get an image of it as they did with the exoplanet orbiting Formalot.
The triangle feature is being referred to as, in quotes here, the Imperial Star Destroyer, informally for fun among scientists, because it is a huge, slow-moving triangle.
So now, using that phrase, some of the scientists will know that I have an in, but I'm not going to burn my sources.
The Imperial Star Destroyer.
Not bad.
This is big news.
You don't find triangles in nature, folks.
If that's what she be, Abby, then we're looking at a signal to us that they want to make contact.
Do we want to make contact?
If you want to see the big event charted, you've really got to see this.
I mean, you've got to look at this chart.
You can see the 800 Event centered on that.
And then the additional random dimmings.
Imagine if they actually get a shot of the damn thing, a big triangle.
Figures it'd be a triangle, right?
That's how I thought of it.
Figures, it'll be a triangle.
That was my big sighting.
Anyway, that's from inside the science circle looking at all this now.
And again, I'm not going to burn my contact, but I'm going to tell you it's good information.
As I did with NASA, I was right then, I'm right now.
This is getting really exciting.
I mean, it really is getting exciting.
When we can lead with these kind of headlines, and it's still not a done deal, of course, but my God, folks, when has this program ever been able to talk about the scientific possibility of life beyond our own planet?
I don't think it's sinking into a lot of people.
Some people it's making angry.
I got into sort of a heated email debate with somebody about this earlier, and as you know, on the air, I interviewed some very religious people from back in the Bible Belt, and they're not so happy about alien contact at all.
Of course, I threw down some pretty hard stuff to make them say that, but there is a definite prejudice against anybody else being out there.
There's one God, and for a lot of people, there's only one people that he created, and we're it.
All right, onward.
This is another biggie I want to talk to you about.
British and U.S. officials said Wednesday they have information suggesting the Russian jetliner, Russian one, that crashed in the Egyptian desert may have been brought down by a bomb.
Now, I'm a CNN junkie.
I'll admit it.
I am.
I watch CNN all the time.
I think they were brainwashing the holy hell out of us today.
unidentified
Really?
art bell
I mean, all day long, it wasn't, was it a bomb?
It wasn't the usual, oh, we don't want to make any guesses until we have absolute proof.
unidentified
It was, it was a bomb.
art bell
Likelihood is it was a bomb.
Now, they're, of course, just repeating what the U.S. government and the British government are saying.
I will grant you that, but we're going to examine why the U.S. and British governments would be saying that.
And boy, was CNN their mouthpiece today.
Let's think about why.
I mean, normally CNN pretty good about plane crashes.
All the talking heads they have on.
The British guy I really love.
But, you know, they all kind of were swinging in there with CNN that this was a bomb that brought it down.
And, you know, it may well turn out to be it was a bomb.
But we don't know that yet.
And normally, CNN would be ultra, ultra careful with its talking heads.
And they'd all say, but we have to wait and see.
But, oh, in this case, it was most likely a bomb.
Yeah, we saw, you know, a heat signature when it blew up.
But they're beyond that now.
They're talking about inside jobs and, you know, it being ISIS and ISIS, in fact, has taken credit, perhaps not in the normal, full way they do.
They may be protecting an inside source.
I'll give you that.
And also, I will give you that it may have been a bomb.
But at this point, we don't know that.
We don't have one centilla of proof that it was a bomb.
unidentified
No chemical analysis, nothing.
art bell
And I'm telling you that normally CNN would be very circumspect about calling it something like this.
I think they're calling it what the American and British government wants it called.
We want it to be a bomb.
That sounds horrible, right?
But in a way we do, because it was a Russian aircraft, passenger aircraft, that, if it was a bomb, came down as a result of it.
So there's a big backstory here with what CNN is doing.
And I think they are cooperating with the American government here.
And I almost count this as propaganda.
And again, please, I'm not saying it's not a bomb.
It could well turn out to be.
But normally, they would never, ever cover it with this kind of assurance, saying bomb.
So why are they doing it now?
Well, because the American and British governments, the American government mainly wants them to do it.
That's what I think.
I understand what I'm being propagandized.
When you've been out of the country and observed the world political process underway from outside the country, you have a very different perspective of the American media.
And I have that different perspective.
And the way I see it is as follows.
We want it to be a bomb because it's a Russian airliner.
Now let's consider what's going on in Syria for a second, okay?
Incredibly dangerous.
Oh, God, it's dangerous there.
So we've got Assad, a guy that we ostensibly wanted out, right?
We wanted him out.
unidentified
He was horrible.
art bell
Then, well, we sort of reconsidered a little bit, and we haven't said much lately, like, well, you know, maybe Assad's better than whatever might come next.
But still, we officially don't want Assad there.
The Russians are in Syria now, in a big way, tanks, troops, bombing.
But they're not bombing ISIS.
They're helping us to death by bombing, but they're bombing the wrong people.
They're bombing the rebels who want to take down Assad.
In other words, Russia's in there militarily propping up Assad.
We've been complaining bitterly about it now for a long time, right?
What do we want Russia to Do.
unidentified
We want them to bomb who?
art bell
ISIS, of course.
So if this can be a bomb put in a plane by ISIS, then it might make the Russians really, really angry enough to begin actually bombing the people we hoped they would bomb.
ISIS.
So while we're normally extremely circumspect, I mean, how many, well, we've seen a lot of plane crashes lately, right?
And they're always very cautious.
So what's up this time?
Is there a connection between what the U.S. government and Britain say and then what CNN is hyping up?
Yup.
I think so.
Anyway, for your consideration, you can write to me and let me know whether you think I'm right, wrong, or upside down.
Then we've got the case of the USS Kitty Hawk.
What is that?
You know what the Kitty Hawk is, right?
unidentified
It's a great big super carrier.
art bell
The Kitty Hawk was in the Pacific, along with the ships that tend to her.
And surprise, surprise.
Oh, Captain.
Look, off the port bow, it's a Chinese sub surfacing.
That's right.
A Chinese sub surprised everybody by surfacing near the Kitty Hawk.
Now, my guess would be that somebody's head is going to roll because of this.
I can't know that for sure, but I'm guessing.
You know, they were supposed to be protecting the carrier, and you were not supposed to ever get surprised by something like a Chinese submarine.
unidentified
So that's what's going on in the world.
art bell
Now, forget all that stuff, except the star.
That's very important.
And let me tell you about what is coming up next.
Deborah Moffat is just a regular person, an experiencer behind the acclaimed books, A Deadly Haunting, and Unwelcomed, which draw upon the frightening experiences she and her family endured at the hands of their unseen tormentor.
Vastly intelligent and destructive, this demon wrought havoc in their lives and home, resulting in a daily battle to maintain their own sanity.
After 25 years, Deborah decided to tell her story, detailing what went on in her family's home during the six-year nightmare in which this entity plagued them.
For these six years, can you imagine living like that?
Can you imagine it?
For these six years, the Moffitt family was terrorized by a demon from the past.
A demon that claimed that Lee Moffat was promised to him as a sacrifice hundreds of years ago.
The entity had come to collect.
There were no safe havens.
There was nowhere to run.
The Moffitt family had only one option, as we would all have.
Survive.
And so, in a moment, the Moffat story, a true haunting.
unidentified
Did you see the lights?
Everything was all in the world.
As a terror, in each sip, and in each sub would you partake of that last officer or disappear into the buttercups?
Take a walk on the wild side of midnight from the Kingdom of Nive.
This is Midnight in the Desert with Art Bell.
Please call the show at 1-952-225-5278.
That's 1-952-Call.
All right, then.
art bell
I can take it.
Mike in Massachusetts said Art.
No one's perfect.
I just want to let you know before people start scolding you, it's Tabby's star, not Abby's star.
Yeah, I knew that, Mike.
It was just a test, and you're the only one that passed.
No, Mike, I'm lying.
I did blow it.
And it is Tabby's star.
It happens.
I'm sorry.
Tabby's star.
It's Tabitha.
So, Tabby.
I don't know why I like the name Abby, but I do.
And it gets stuck in my head.
So, no, Tabby.
Tabby Star.
God, that's an important story.
All right.
Now, to Deborah Moffat.
And you're just not going to believe what you're about to hear.
Deborah, welcome to the program.
deborah moffitt
Thank you, Orton.
Thank you for having me on.
unidentified
Do you prefer Deborah or Debbie or Miss Moffat?
deborah moffitt
Debbie's fine.
art bell
Or Miss Moffat.
deborah moffitt
Debbie's fine.
art bell
Debbie, it is.
Okay, Debbie, I guess in this, you have just, you know, I blabbed away most of the first half hour or so.
If you would please tell us just a little bit about yourself.
deborah moffitt
Actually, I have three children, still live in the same house where the last part of this story occurred, retired.
And Mr. Entity, he's been gone 25 years now, and we've never heard another thing from him.
art bell
Well, if you have three children, then that's what you do.
deborah moffitt
Right, that's true.
art bell
So this all occurred that long ago, Debbie.
Is that right?
deborah moffitt
Yes, it did.
It actually started before I was even in the scene.
It happened, I married my husband in 1987.
Right.
And this actually started from what we can, the researchers that came to study it, think it started back in 1985, had to do with a...
1984.
And it had to do with a Guatemalan housekeeper who practiced Santeria.
art bell
Ah, yes.
Okay, so who got her upset?
deborah moffitt
Well, back in 1984, my husband's mother, her mother, his grandmother, had a stroke, and they hired a Guatemalan housekeeper to take care of her.
And she lived right next door to my mother-in-law and my husband.
And the Guatemalan housekeeper, very nice lady, I don't think from what I've been told, did any of this on purpose.
She was afraid that when she lost her job, when the grandmother died, she'd have to go back to Guatemala.
So I think she was trying to keep the grandmother alive as long as she could.
And what happened is she opened some type of a door and allowed something to come in.
art bell
Is this sort of all guesswork or do you have any firm reason to believe that's what happened?
deborah moffitt
It's partly guesswork, partly from what my mother-in-law found at the house.
After her mother died and Juanita left the house, they went to clean it and they found strange markings all through the house.
They found candle wax, broken rosary beads, and blood and feathers.
So from what they told the researchers that came to that new house, they believe that that's probably what happened.
Because they can think of no other way why this started.
art bell
Okay, but yeah, that's quite a bit.
You said feathers and blood and what else?
deborah moffitt
Broken rosary beads, feathers, candle wax, and strange symbols all through the house.
art bell
Okay, so there was practice going on in the house, no question about that.
deborah moffitt
Right.
art bell
Well, I do agree.
I do certainly agree, Debbie, that when you dabble in such things, you do leave open the door for something you don't want as well as something you do want.
deborah moffitt
Yes.
Like I said, I don't believe she did this, you know, anything to happen on purpose.
She was just trying to keep the grandmother alive to save her job.
art bell
Yeah.
deborah moffitt
But it didn't matter.
Something evil did come through.
art bell
Yeah, so I get that, but I read in the opening that Lee Moffat was promised to him as a sacrifice hundreds of years ago.
deborah moffitt
Right.
art bell
Now, that's different than somebody practicing Santeria and calling the wrong thing across.
deborah moffitt
Well, Bob, this is a story.
Now, the entity used to communicate with us by writing on a mirror with soap.
art bell
Really?
deborah moffitt
And it would write from morning, noon, and night.
And it told me the story of, because one of the times I asked it, why are you doing this?
Why are you here?
And it told me why it wanted Lee.
He was in, I don't mean in physical form, but he was in a monastery way back in the 1600s.
And some of the monks there practiced Satanism.
And they promised him a blood sacrifice.
And it never came to fruition.
And the lady, she wasn't sacrificed, but he believed because she was promised to him, Lee, in a past life, now she still belonged to him.
And now he found her and he came to collect her.
art bell
Okay, I want to be straight about this.
Lee, or Lee to be, was promised in a past life to this demon.
Right.
And so it wasn't Lee per se.
unidentified
It was, well, I guess it was Lee.
art bell
How could they know to promise Lee would be there that far ahead of time?
deborah moffitt
I don't know.
They promised her in that lifetime in the monks, with the monks, they were going to sacrifice her, and something happened, and she wasn't sacrificed.
So he still believes she belongs.
This is what the demon wrote to me.
So he still believed that she belonged to him, and he came to collect her.
art bell
Wow.
So Lee came to collect her.
You mean, I thought Lee was your husband, no?
deborah moffitt
No, Lee is my mother-in-law.
art bell
Your mother-in-law, okay.
deborah moffitt
My husband's mother.
art bell
I'll get it all straight.
deborah moffitt
It's a complicated story.
art bell
Okay.
All right.
So that Lee, the mother-in-law, was promised to this demon in a previous life.
In other words, some kind of almost like a curse, I guess.
deborah moffitt
I guess so, yeah.
art bell
In other words, don't take me, but you can take somebody in a lifetime or two or three or whatever, somewhere down the line in my lineage.
unidentified
Right.
deborah moffitt
From what I understand, it was her.
He gave an impression that it was her, that, you know, that this was a previous life of hers.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
That would make sense.
But one would imagine there was a deal cut.
In other words, don't take me.
Take somebody from my lineage somewhere downline.
deborah moffitt
I don't know.
You know what?
There are so many things about this to this day that I still don't know.
art bell
I'm glad you're saying I don't know.
Listen, I really worry when somebody comes on the show with me, Deborah, and gives me an answer to everything I ask.
When I hear somebody finally say, I don't know, I love it.
It gives credibility to the story.
You know, usually you ask, you push hard enough, and somebody says, well, the demon told me one night when I had a deep sleep, you know, or something like that.
In other words, they try to provide an answer to every single question you ask.
And as an interviewer, I've learned that's not a good sign.
So stand by, Debbie, and we'll get back to you.
This, of course, is midnight in the desert.
unidentified
Read it.
Thank you.
art bell
I'm telling you right now, I'm hearing voices.
Voices in my head.
Did any of you hear what I just heard?
Did you?
Anybody out there?
unidentified
Thank you.
Thank you.
Feel free to sniff our packets.
Then, with a smile on your face, please call the show at 1-952-225-5278.
That's 1-952-CALLART.
art bell
You should always be smiling.
Actually, Mike in Virginia said, are you planning on doing a prediction show this year?
Of course, Mike.
It's a tradition, has been the only thing I don't have, of course, is last year's predictions to make bonks out of.
So it'll be a very positive show, looking ahead only, or maybe two days of it.
I don't know.
And then you may have heard my remark prior to the break that I was hearing voices in my head.
unidentified
Okay.
Okay.
art bell
The David, yes, I was hearing voices.
And I called Keith, who operates the board down there in Arizona.
And I said, Keith, I'm hearing voices.
Now, either they heard it on the air and will tell me, or you did it there.
And he said, oh, not me, not me.
And then a moment passes.
He said, oh, God, I love the mic on.
And let me tell you, there's nothing more demonic than the Roland voice in your ear.
Demonic indeed.
And since I'm on the subject of the wormhole and messages you can send, if you are a time traveler, you get to pick...
You can go back and you can listen to old shows.
You can hear last night's show in the afternoon when you want to hear it, and you have access to the wormhole, and you can send me messages about how I screw up and so much more.
All right, that said, yes, Roland's voice is demonic indeed.
Debbie, welcome back.
deborah moffitt
Thank you.
art bell
All right.
So I would assume then, that long ago, your children were about what age when this began?
deborah moffitt
When this began, my one son had just been born in 1987.
Right.
And then the other two were born in 1990.
They're twins.
So until this came out in 2014, they knew nothing about it.
We had never spoken about it in the house.
So I had to tell them about it before I even wrote a book about it.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
And here we go.
We're now going to begin to get about it, what really happened.
This is so well documented, all of this.
I know that, for example, somebody I trust implicitly was there with you, Dr. Evelyn Paglini, who helped you out, I guess, substantially.
You can confirm that, right?
deborah moffitt
Dr. Evelyn Paglini was awesome.
She was a wonderful lady.
I mean, when she came to the house, I mean, she came in with such courage and such confidence.
art bell
That was Evelyn.
deborah moffitt
Look at her, I thought, we're saved.
This lady's going to save us.
art bell
If anybody could, she'd be the one.
Were the Warrens also involved somehow?
deborah moffitt
And Lorraine Warren came.
art bell
Really?
deborah moffitt
Yes.
art bell
But I guess Evelyn Paglini helped out a bit more?
deborah moffitt
She couldn't get rid of it.
Couldn't get rid of it?
No.
And the entity hated Dr. Paglini.
art bell
I can imagine.
deborah moffitt
He absolutely hated Dr. Paglini.
He, every minute, was writing nasty things about her, vulgar things about her on the mirror.
But she said, she told us, she said, I can't get rid of this.
She said, it's too powerful.
It's ancient, it's old, and I can't get rid of it.
art bell
Let me tell you, for Dr. Paglini, that's one hell of a statement.
deborah moffitt
I know it because I thought she'd be the one.
But she said, she was actually worried for my mother-in-law's life.
art bell
Oh, yes.
deborah moffitt
She said, I can suggest something to do.
Whether you do it or not, it's up to you.
She said, this deity, she called it an ancient deity.
She never really called it a demon.
She called it more of a deity.
She said, if you take one room upstairs and empty it and give it the room and pay homage to this, this won't hurt you and it'll actually make your life better.
She said, because I can't get rid of it, and I don't know if your mother-in-law can be saved.
Oh, good lord.
That's what she suggested.
art bell
Wow.
Okay.
Let us now go back to the very first thing.
And you're still in the same house, right?
deborah moffitt
Well, see, it started at a different house.
art bell
Oh, it began.
unidentified
All right.
art bell
So at this different house, located where?
In what?
deborah moffitt
Where it very first started, it started.
It's in Rancho Cucamonga on Archibald and Arrow Freeway, a highway, excuse me.
art bell
I always thought there was something wrong with Rancho Cucamonga.
unidentified
I could never pin it down.
deborah moffitt
And there were like three houses right on the corner, right there.
And my mother-in-law and father-in-law owned the one in the middle.
Her mother owned the one next to it.
And my husband owned the one on the other side.
Those three houses were all connected.
art bell
Let's deal with the house you were in.
Was it limited to that house, by the way?
deborah moffitt
No.
And all three houses were affected.
art bell
Oh, my goodness.
deborah moffitt
All right.
art bell
All right.
Start with the first thing that ever happened.
deborah moffitt
No, I can start with the first thing that happened that I can confirm because I actually saw it.
art bell
Fair enough.
deborah moffitt
It happened earlier.
I never saw it, so it's only hearsay.
art bell
Fair enough.
deborah moffitt
Thank you.
What I actually witnessed, the first thing, was a port.
We had a tenant that moved into, my husband rented his house out, and We lived with his mother and father.
He had a heart condition, and he just felt closer, felt safer living together.
So we all lived together.
We rented out his house to a gentleman.
He had a large sports collection, my husband.
So he left one room in the house locked.
And the gentleman had free run of the house, but he couldn't touch this room.
So we would go down periodically to check on the room.
The very first thing that happened is we walked into his, we unlocked the door where his sports memorabilia were, and something had taken all the bobbleheads, baseball bobbleheads off the wall and put them into the shape of a triangle on the floor.
art bell
Oh, my.
All right.
deborah moffitt
And, of course.
art bell
And this is locked all the time.
Is that right?
deborah moffitt
This was locked.
We were the only ones with key.
But you automatically think, you don't think something's happening.
We automatically thought the tenant did it.
art bell
Well, that's good.
Yeah, but that's just bad.
I mean, then you think you have somebody you can't trust.
deborah moffitt
Right.
But at least you can see that person and you can deal with them.
True.
We confronted him.
He said, I've never been in that room.
I never touch it.
art bell
I have a room like that in my house.
There's nothing but very expensive, very complicated radios inside, and so nobody goes in there.
deborah moffitt
Right.
That's the way Bill felt about his sports collection.
art bell
I fully understand.
And so here are bobbleheads on the floor in a triangle.
deborah moffitt
Right.
We locked it back up, like I said, talked to the tenant.
Well, he assured us he didn't touch it.
Well, what could we say?
We thought he did, but we said, well, don't do it again.
Within a week's time, my mother-in-law was very religious.
Next to her bed, she had a stand with all types of religious statues on it.
One morning, she wakes up, and on the statue of Jesus is a pair of men's briefs.
Bad.
Out of nowhere.
She thought one of us was playing a joke.
You know, what are you doing?
None of us could figure out how it got there.
At that time, none of us even understood what an aport was.
art bell
Well, look, even I don't know what it is.
What is it?
deborah moffitt
It's something that moves, something like an object that moves without anyone physically moving it.
art bell
Right.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Well, here's what I think.
There's almost nobody, regardless of their religion, who would do something like that.
I mean, it's just so highly disrespectful.
I can't imagine, of course, I don't know your family, but I can't imagine anybody would hang some underwear on a cross.
No way.
deborah moffitt
No, it was.
She was very upset.
And it progressed from there.
Pretty soon we started getting all kinds of different clothing on her, her statues.
Then we couldn't figure out where they were coming from.
Then we started getting mail and receipts.
And they were all coming from the tenant.
They were coming from the house next door.
art bell
Receipts?
You mean he was buying stuff?
deborah moffitt
Sure, like receipts where he bought some clothes and he had a receipt for them.
And they'd end up on her chest by her religious tattoos.
art bell
I see, I see.
So it started all around religious artifacts.
deborah moffitt
Right.
We went down to a house.
It's very hard to explain to the man, listen, we have your things up at our house.
You know, you can't do that.
He'd think we took the things from his house.
art bell
Was that his underwear?
deborah moffitt
Yes.
art bell
Oh, good Lord.
deborah moffitt
It was his.
I don't know for sure.
art bell
You know, at the beginning of that, as a woman, and I'm not, I'd have reason to worry if another man's underwear shows up on a cross over my head or near it.
Well, sure.
I mean, at this point, they're probably, I don't know what you're thinking.
You're thinking somebody broke in?
deborah moffitt
Right.
That was another theory my mother-in-law thought.
Maybe somebody came in when we weren't here.
art bell
Right.
deborah moffitt
Because, you know, you don't go to the supernatural.
You go to reality.
unidentified
Of course.
deborah moffitt
We try to justify things.
art bell
Of course.
deborah moffitt
But we couldn't.
There was just nothing that we could, we just didn't know what was going on.
Went back down to the house like a couple weeks later, and he wasn't home.
And we noticed over all the light fixtures where you click the lights on and off.
art bell
Yes.
deborah moffitt
Someone had made strange symbols.
And it looked like they were drawn in crayon.
art bell
Well, now you did have children in the house, of course.
deborah moffitt
No.
My children, my one son was only like a month old.
art bell
Oh, okay.
deborah moffitt
That was it.
art bell
He slithering out of his.
deborah moffitt
And this gentleman was all alone.
unidentified
Gotcha.
deborah moffitt
So then within a few weeks, the gentleman said, I'm leaving.
art bell
Don't blame him.
deborah moffitt
And he gave us a reason why.
He just said, I'm going.
And within, he told us that on Friday, and by Sunday, he was gone.
art bell
Okay, so I would guess that he was experiencing things over there or tired of getting accused of doing things over there.
deborah moffitt
Right, that's what I think, too.
He wouldn't talk about anything.
He just left.
So he was gone.
We went when he left up to the house to look at it to see what needed to be cleaned to re-rent it.
My husband goes in his room.
I stood in the living room looking around, seeing what needed to be cleaned.
There was a long shelf on the top of the wall.
It ran the whole length of the living room with all kinds of knickknacks.
I looked at it and then I looked back and I looked again at it within like a blink of an eye.
Every single thing on that shelf was turned backwards within a blink of an eye.
art bell
Oh, bad.
deborah moffitt
My husband came out.
I said, you're not going to believe this.
And he didn't.
He said, no, you didn't see it right to begin with.
They were all turned backwards.
Maybe this man had problems.
He did these weird things.
So just let it go.
So I knew, though, what I saw.
art bell
Right.
That's right.
I understand.
You know what you see, and what you see is what you saw.
deborah moffitt
Right.
art bell
Simple as that.
deborah moffitt
He made plans to come back the next day to start cleaning.
He kept the place pretty good, but it needed to be cleaned.
We came in.
We walked in the door.
In the middle of the living room was a lamp from the bedroom sitting in the middle of the floor.
And I just looked, and my husband said, oh, somebody must have came in the house.
Because he wouldn't want to believe.
He was So afraid of the paranormal, he wouldn't want to believe something paranormal was happening.
So he would try to make excuses what was happening.
art bell
Most normal people would.
deborah moffitt
Yeah.
So we put that lamp back, we went into the kitchen, went in the kitchen probably for two minutes, came back into the living room, and the furniture from the dining room was stacked up in the living room.
art bell
Good Lord.
deborah moffitt
Within two minutes, and we didn't hear a thing.
art bell
Okay.
At this point, I wonder what you were thinking, and I wonder what your husband was thinking.
deborah moffitt
Two completely opposite things.
I looked at it as something at the time.
I wasn't familiar with anything paranormal.
I had never been frightened in my life by it.
I looked at this as something absolutely fascinating.
Look what was happening.
You know, it was like my mind was going in circles trying to figure out what was going on.
My husband's first instinct was, let's get out of here.
Let's go.
Let's hurry.
Let's get out.
But I want to just try to understand what was going on.
art bell
You and I, Debbie, have different ideas of what's interesting.
And by that, I mean, for example, this star out there that could be aliens.
That's interesting.
A room full of furniture moving itself, I run like hell.
deborah moffitt
My husband also.
art bell
Feel free to.
deborah moffitt
It was like, I just couldn't understand it.
And it was fascinating to me.
I put the furniture back.
He left.
He stood outside the door.
He didn't want to be in the house.
art bell
Don't blame him a bit.
deborah moffitt
But, you know, the feeling in the house, there was nothing nasty feeling in the house.
Do you know what I mean?
The house didn't feel like an evil presence or something threatening.
It was like, and it became almost like a game.
When I'd go up there to clean, I would go into a room and I'd say, if there's something here, move something.
And I was cleaning, and I'd come back and something would be moved.
So it almost became like this game where, you know, it gets you like it grabs you.
Look what I can do.
art bell
Debbie, a game is Candy Crush.
What you're describing is no game, but I guess you were playing.
deborah moffitt
Really?
Because to me, it wasn't frightening.
It was amazing at that time.
art bell
Okay.
I've got to give you props for a steel spine that I don't have.
I'd have been so out of there like your husband.
Boy.
So this went on how long?
deborah moffitt
Now, this went on probably for another week, and then everything just stopped.
It just stopped.
It was like nothing happened.
We went back to the house.
Nothing was moving.
Everything just went right back to normal.
art bell
Okay.
deborah moffitt
So the next month we decided, oh, everything's back to normal now.
Maybe this gentleman, you know, left something, you know, he dabbled or did something, left something wrong, and everything's gone now, so we're okay.
So we decided to re-rent it out.
art bell
Right.
deborah moffitt
Now, during this time, the neighbor on the other side that we rented out, the grandmother's house, talked to my husband and said, did someone die in this house?
Which no one had.
And my husband told him no.
But he evidently had been playing with a Ouija board.
And he said he contacted something on a Ouija board.
art bell
Oh, brother.
deborah moffitt
And he wanted to know if anyone died in the house.
My husband said no.
Didn't want anything more to do with it because he didn't want to even talk about it.
art bell
So this neighbor wanted to know if anybody had died because he had been playing with a Ouija board.
unidentified
And had contacted someone.
art bell
Okay.
And I presume stuff began to happen to him.
deborah moffitt
We don't know.
He never said a word.
But one strange thing that happened, his son, he was like 20, 21 years old, moved in with him.
We saw his son, this was a strange thing.
We saw his son, my mother-in-law, walk by the house.
She was walking her dog.
And his son was in the backyard, and he was digging holes and planting trees.
But he wasn't planting trees like planting trees.
He was planting them upside down.
art bell
Okay.
deborah moffitt
Yeah.
So she was going to talk to him.
She said when she looked at him, he just stared at her and just stared.
And she got frightened, and she just left him alone.
She said she didn't care if he was planting trees upside down.
She just left.
art bell
I get that.
deborah moffitt
So things were happening on the both sides, and then everything stopped.
It was like it just stopped.
So we thought, well, okay, everything's okay now.
art bell
So did somebody go out there and plant the trees correctly, or did they stand forever looking silly?
deborah moffitt
No, they died, and they were all taken, just thrown away eventually.
Because within a month or so after that, the tenant died.
He died.
art bell
Okay.
deborah moffitt
And his son moved out, so that house was empty.
art bell
Did he die a natural death, might I ask?
deborah moffitt
He died of congestive heart failure, which is funny because it seems like everybody connected with this died of congestive heart failure.
art bell
How are you feeling?
deborah moffitt
I feel fine.
My husband died of congestive heart failure.
His mother died of congestive heart failure.
His father died of congestive heart failure.
His uncle that lived in the house next door died of congestive heart failure.
So it seems to be something that runs through that.
art bell
Apparently.
deborah moffitt
Yeah.
So we rented out the house again where the tenant was with the bottle heads.
We rented that out again because everything was quiet.
And like I said, there was nothing threatening that happened.
So we didn't feel, I didn't feel frightened in any way.
My mother-in-law and my husband, on the other hand, they were still frightened of this.
art bell
Did you disclose to this new possession?
Yes.
You did.
deborah moffitt
My husband said, you know, this house may be haunted.
And they laughed.
You know, it was like, back then it was like 1987.
It wasn't like today when people are more open-minded and they understand more about what's really happening out there.
Back then it was more of a joke.
This is a haunted house.
So they moved in.
It was a younger woman and an older gentleman.
They weren't married, but they lived together.
The lady was very kind.
We lived next door.
I would talk periodically with her when I went out in the yard.
You know, she was a nice lady.
Then I noticed that I didn't see her very much.
Oh.
And then I see her in the front yard, and she looks like someone had beaten her up.
And I confronted her.
I said, Are you okay?
What happened?
unidentified
And she told me that since they moved in the house.
art bell
Hold it right there.
Hold it.
That's a great hole.
Hold it right there.
We've got a break.
It's a long one I told you about.
What do you think she said?
I'm RFL.
unidentified
Get it, give us in the dark.
It's a waiting in the clouds.
Meantime.
Down the river, you're stopping your hope.
You know that I'll never leave.
When I wanted you to save my life, I had no doubt in my mind.
It's been you, woman, right down the line.
Midnight in the desert doesn't screen calls.
We trust you, but remember, the NSA.
Well, you know.
To call the show, please dial 1-952-225-5278.
That's 1-952-CALL-ART.
art bell
Buying away my favorite Ross thing.
Hi, everybody.
I'm Art Bell.
This is Midnight in the Desert.
I am interviewing Deborah Moffat.
And I want to give you a warning that what's coming up is going to be really frightening stuff if you...
Perhaps it's not for the kids.
So the first part has been sort of, I don't know, light, kind of scary for me in a way, but not the heavy duty stuff that's coming.
Here once again is Deborah Muffet.
Deborah, welcome back.
So the neighbor was there looking as though she'd been pummeled.
deborah moffitt
Right.
art bell
And you asked her.
deborah moffitt
And she said, she told me ever since they moved into the house that her boyfriend had become hostile.
She said she didn't know what had happened to him.
I told her, you know, she had to get away from him.
She said, don't worry, I can take care of myself.
And that was the last time I ever saw her.
Within a week, everything was quiet, but I didn't see Michelle.
Another week went by, no Michelle.
I saw him out in the front yard.
I said, how is Michelle?
I haven't seen her in a while.
He said, Michelle left.
And that was, I thought Michelle left.
That was the last I heard about it.
Within the month, he moved out.
He just said he had to leave, no problem.
He just was leaving.
We went up there to clean the house, and it was spotless.
I mean, it was bleached.
It was cleaned.
There wasn't a bit of dust anywhere.
The only thing missing was a rug.
It was like a throw rug, big throw rug.
art bell
Suspicious.
Did anybody check out under the upside-down trees?
deborah moffitt
Dead trees.
No.
So we decided, we just locked it up.
We didn't know.
By this time, my husband, my father-in-law, myself, and my mother-in-law had decided we were going to sell the properties and move to a new house, a bigger house, and live together.
So we were thinking, well, we won't rent anything out anymore.
When Monty died, we didn't rent the other house out.
When this tenant left, we weren't going to rent this one out again.
After he left, about a week or so, maybe two weeks later, someone was knocking at that door.
I was in the front yard.
I yelled over.
He doesn't live there anymore.
He asked me, well, do you know where he is?
I said, no.
He said, did you hear what happened to Michelle?
And I said, no, I haven't heard anything about Michelle.
He said, they found Michelle beaten to death, wrapped in a rug in a landfill.
art bell
Oh, my God.
deborah moffitt
Now, I was in shock because I didn't know if this was, first of all, I didn't know if it was true.
I hadn't heard anything about it on the news or in the newspapers.
It was just what this gentleman was telling me.
And also, I remembered her saying how the gentleman, her boyfriend changed when he moved into the house.
So I remember going home and telling everybody in the house what had happened.
And I wanted to, I said, do you think we should call the police and explain, you know, what happened?
And no, they said, we don't even know if this really happened.
How do we know this man was even telling us the truth?
So I don't know if that had actually happened to Michelle or it didn't.
It's just what the gentleman told me.
But to me, that was rather scary because at that point, it changed from something that was non-threatening to something that maybe was very evil.
unidentified
Maybe.
art bell
But, you know, it would have been possible, Debbie, to go to either the police or a local newspaper and find out if that...
deborah moffitt
That's what I thought the same thing.
But like I told him, now my husband was the type, he read every newspaper, watched all the news.
He said he hadn't heard a thing about it.
So I don't know if that was true or if that wasn't true.
art bell
Pretty weird comment to make, either way.
deborah moffitt
Right.
It just put a lot of, you know, made me frightened at that point of what this thing could do if it was real.
art bell
Right, okay.
You could even at this stage, even today, you could go back and find out if such thing had happened, I'm sure.
deborah moffitt
Yeah, you know what?
That would be interesting to do to find out because Michelle was a nice lady.
art bell
It's not a light comment you just drop on somebody.
I mean, he must have had some knowledge.
deborah moffitt
Yeah, I mean, where would it come out of the blue?
I mean, there had to be some fact.
Stories always have based on some fact.
art bell
Or made up, why would somebody make up a comment like that?
Good God.
deborah moffitt
Yes.
art bell
Found dead, wrapped in a rug.
Okay.
All right.
Continue.
deborah moffitt
So we left both houses empty.
We found a new place to live.
It was like 10 miles up the hill from where we lived.
And so we were moving very slowly.
They put the property on the market, and we were moving our possessions very slowly up into the new house.
The very last day we were there at the house, my mother-in-law and I were alone.
And for us, this is when it really became hostile towards us.
Everyone was gone.
My mother-in-law and I were in the back bedroom.
We were getting the last Of her things, and there was one box.
And all of a sudden, from the kitchen, we hear almost like an explosion.
We run to the kitchen, and the entity, or whatever, what happened, all the cupboards had been just ripped off the walls.
Off the walls, off the walls.
There were pieces of them were lying all over the cupboard, all over the floor in the kitchen.
art bell
Oh, Jerry.
deborah moffitt
Yeah, then we hear glass breaking.
We go back into the bedroom to see what happened, and it blew out all the windows in the back bedroom.
My God.
And I remember grabbing my mother-in-law by the arm, and we just ran out of the house and got in the car.
art bell
And did what?
I mean, in the car, sure, for a while, shock.
deborah moffitt
My mother-in-law was shaking.
She was so frightened.
We went back home when we were up at the new house.
And thank God, for a small time, everything was quiet.
Nothing happened.
It was like, you know, we found our safe haven.
We were okay.
At least that's what we thought.
But it didn't turn out that way.
We were here for like three weeks.
And then a thing that anybody else would experience, they would just ignore it, happened.
A picture was turned backwards.
And it was like a bell went off in my head.
It was like, here we go again.
It's with us.
So it came with us from the day.
We thought we got rid of it by moving, but it didn't.
It came with us.
art bell
Yeah, okay.
So here we go again.
So it wasn't the house.
It was you.
Or it was your mother-in-law.
deborah moffitt
It was my mother-in-law.
Now, by this time, my husband and I were trying to talk.
My mother-in-law, she was the one that was against telling anybody what was going on or trying to find somebody to help us.
Because she said people will think we're crazy.
Or she had it in her head, if things like this happen to us, we must be evil and we're getting punished for something.
We couldn't make her understand, you know, something's happening.
We need help.
So from this point on, we became very isolated.
We started to look for help, but we became isolated.
We weren't allowed to talk to anybody about what was going on.
art bell
What do you mean you weren't allowed?
deborah moffitt
My mother-in-law would go into hysterics.
She wouldn't want anybody to know what was happening to us.
art bell
I see, okay.
deborah moffitt
So we just kind of kept it to ourselves.
And then the entity started to isolate us even more.
He would go where we went.
And he would make it so uncomfortable where we went, we would stop going places.
Like we would go.
We couldn't invite someone to the house, so we would go to visit them at their house.
But the entity would do something, like we went to this gentleman's house.
It was a friend of my husband and my mother-in-law's.
And when we came home, on our kitchen table was the gentleman's wallet.
Now, we were just at his house.
How can we explain to this gentleman why we have his wallet?
art bell
Very carefully.
deborah moffitt
So it did things like that to make us so uncomfortable that we kind of isolated ourselves from everyone.
And by this time, we finally got my mother-in-law to try to help, allow us to go and try to find help to tell people what was going on.
art bell
What kind of help?
deborah moffitt
First of all, we went to a psychologist right here in Rancho Cucamonga because I remember my mother-in-law was contacting the church at the time to try to get a priest to come to the house.
And we decided to go to a psychologist to see if any one of us was causing this.
So we went to a psychologist.
art bell
See, they wouldn't be the ones to really be able to pin this sort of thing down, would they?
deborah moffitt
No, not really.
But my mother-in-law said, we need to go find out if one of us is causing this.
So we went to the psychologist, explained the whole situation.
He was dubious at first.
The more we explained to him, the more he started to believe, finally he said, I can't help you.
He said, you need to go to a parapsychologist or you need to get in touch with a church or some kind of institution that studies this kind of things.
I can't do anything to help you.
So that was the first average.
art bell
They gave you a referral slip and $200 bill.
deborah moffitt
It was a big bill.
So my mother-in-law contacted the local church.
She had been very religious.
She had stopped going to church actually when her mother died.
Her mother and her used to go to church together.
So when her mother died, she stopped going to church.
But she was still a very religious woman.
She contacted the church.
The priest agreed to come to the house.
He came to the house.
It was an older gentleman.
He walked in the house.
He walked into the foyer, and he wouldn't move from there.
He was supposed to go through the whole house and bless the house.
He said, no, no, I don't have to.
I can do it here.
He took out his holy water and he made the sign of the cross in the hallway.
And he said, okay, it's blessed.
And my mother-in-law said, aren't you supposed to go to every room and do this?
He said, no, no, this is good enough.
I have to leave.
So then my mother-in-law decided she would try to explain to him what was going on.
And he didn't want to hear it.
He looked at me and said, ladies, when they get this age, they get a little crazy.
I got to get out of here.
And he just ran out of the house and jumped into his car.
art bell
So the way you're telling the story, it sounds like he felt whatever it was, either was lazy or felt whatever it was and said, I'm out of here.
deborah moffitt
That's what I think it was, because he looked frightened.
It wasn't like, you know, he was too old to do it.
It was just like he just wanted to leave.
He wasn't comfortable.
art bell
Okay.
This is sounding more serious all the time.
Okay, so he tossed the holy water, said the words, split.
Now, at this point, I'm sure you're hoping that did the trick anyway.
deborah moffitt
I was very doubtful that just that was going to affect this.
But my mother-in-law was crushed because she thought the church would help her.
So this really was a blow to her.
From about this time, the entity started to focus all its negativity towards my mother-in-law.
Now it made my mother-in-law's life hell.
It destroyed her clothing.
It would take one shoe, so she'd have a pair of shoes, but they'd be from different pairs of shoes.
It would take her money, her wallet.
It would destroy her credit cards, her license.
She couldn't own anything.
She couldn't have anything on her.
Her purse, it would hide.
Her glasses, she had a very bad eyesight.
It would take her glasses, so she was constantly having to buy new glasses.
art bell
All right, I don't mean to be insensitive, but I've got to ask this.
You remember what the priest said, right?
You know, sometimes older ladies, particularly if they're scared or just because they're older, I mean, we all begin to change, right?
So are you confident that the mother-in-law was of sane mind?
And other than being scared, I get that.
deborah moffitt
My mother-in-law was an old-world Italian lady, as smart as they come.
And she was just frightened, but she was sane.
And I mean, I would see she'd go to her purse to try to get something, and she'd pull out money, it'd be all cut to pieces.
Or she'd pull out her credit card and it'd be sliced in pieces.
So it just tormented her.
In the new house, it was quite large.
She had a bedroom upstairs with my father-in-law, and it had its own bathroom and a sitting room upstairs.
We had the bedroom, a master bedroom downstairs, which was a little bit further away from them.
And other than, another thing it liked to do was knives.
It would bring knives.
Now, these knives weren't our knives.
I don't know where the knives came from.
He just deported them.
He would stick them through the bottom of chairs, especially it would be the chair that she would sit in, so that if she sat, she'd sit on a knife.
art bell
There's a message in that, a fairly clear message.
That would, you know, it would be, I get messages.
If that started to happen to me, gee, I don't know, you know, I'd question my wife and my daughter.
But if I realized that this was happening, you know, from something like this, I don't know what I'd, well, actually, I don't know what you can do.
You apparently can't move because it follows you.
deborah moffitt
Right.
art bell
You can't stop it because it's not human.
deborah moffitt
Right.
You can't even see it to defend yourself.
What do you do?
And it progressively got worse.
I mean, she'd go to bed at night and it would put knives in the pillow.
So it got to the point where I'd have to be with her and we'd go wherever she was going to sit down.
We used to have to look before she'd sit so she could sit down safely.
The next thing that happened to me was the most amazing thing.
All these other things were just torment.
But the next thing to me was amazing.
It started to write on the mirror with soap.
art bell
Okay.
deborah moffitt
What did it say in her bedroom?
art bell
What?
deborah moffitt
In the bathroom of her bedroom.
art bell
What is the first thing you saw?
deborah moffitt
The first thing it said was, I think it was talk to me.
art bell
Really?
deborah moffitt
Yes.
And then I remember my father-in-law went, okay, when it first happened, she was upstairs alone.
So, you know, she called me up.
She said, you have to see this.
I left the room.
I came back in, and this was on the mirror.
Everyone else was downstairs, so it just was her upstairs.
So when we all came upstairs to look at it to see what was going on, immediately the first thing you think of is one of us wrote it.
unidentified
Sure.
deborah moffitt
Because I never even heard of ghosts or demons writing on things and actually communicating with you.
I never heard of that.
art bell
Well, it was in her room, so you would think she wrote it, right?
deborah moffitt
Right.
So what we did first, we examined it, and I found out that it was soap.
And so we cleaned it.
We cleaned the mirror.
art bell
Right.
deborah moffitt
And we walked outside the bathroom.
We were the only people in the house.
There's only one door to the bathroom.
The four of us stood outside the door.
And I remember we talked.
We said, if we go back in and there's writing, then we know none of us are doing this.
We opened the door.
We went back in and there was writing on the mirror.
art bell
Oh, my God.
deborah moffitt
So we knew then no one else could be in the little bathroom.
No one else could get in the bathroom.
We were in front of the door.
And the four of us were right together.
art bell
All right.
So this time, what did it say?
deborah moffitt
It started saying it didn't want us to go in the attic.
art bell
Don't go in the attic.
deborah moffitt
Right.
It didn't want us to go into the attic.
It started to pretend, it started, no, when it wrote, it would write all the time.
It wrote, it pretended to be my mother-in-law's dead sister.
My mother-in-law had a nickname when she was a child that only her one sister called her.
It was Nini.
art bell
Right.
deborah moffitt
And the entity wrote on the mirror, Nene, don't go near the attic.
art bell
Sound advice, in my opinion.
deborah moffitt
So it didn't want us in the attic.
It would say things, there's a bad wire.
There's going to be a fire.
Stay away from it.
It wasn't saying to us, if it was her sister, you know, have someone check out your attic.
There's a bad wire in it.
I don't want you guys to get hurt.
It was saying us, stay out of the attic.
So it didn't want us in the attic.
art bell
Well, I'm impressed that there were four of you who, after immediately cleaning this mirror, went back in and then saw it.
Okay, so that eliminates any other possibility.
deborah moffitt
It did.
At that point, we knew it wasn't one of us and no one else could get in there.
art bell
All right, so usually, you know, when there's a button and it says don't press this button, everybody does, they press the button.
So it didn't want you to go in the attic.
And oh, my God, there's a mouse crawling across my table.
I'm serious.
Excuse me for a moment.
deborah moffitt
Okay.
art bell
I'm going to see if I can.
I'm going to see if I can.
unidentified
Oh, my God.
art bell
What is a mouse doing here?
I wonder if it's your influence.
I'm going to see if I can get a picture of this.
Hold on.
What in the world is a mouse doing by saying?
deborah moffitt
You know, it's funny because we were infested by rats for two weeks.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
Oh, no, he's gone.
unidentified
Darn it.
art bell
All right.
Where'd you go?
Joseph had to take a picture.
He was just sitting right there.
I'm sorry, Debbie.
I'm really sorry.
You're in the middle of the story, and I'm talking about a mouse.
Where did he go?
Okay, let's continue with the story, Debbie.
I'll keep an eye out for the little guy.
deborah moffitt
Okay.
unidentified
I hope this has nothing to do with your story.
deborah moffitt
I hope so.
art bell
Please continue.
deborah moffitt
So my father-in-law, we stood there.
My father-in-law one time asked it what its name was.
art bell
Yes.
deborah moffitt
And it wrote, Prince.
It wanted to be called Prince.
art bell
Prince.
deborah moffitt
Prince.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
At this point, apparently, he was, you know, I don't know, getting used to this to the point he could do something like that, ask a question.
deborah moffitt
At this point, yeah, other than that, the time when it answered that, for the first year, it didn't communicate with us more so.
It spoke at us.
You know, it wouldn't respond to what we were asking it.
It would tell us things, things it wanted us to do, things we weren't supposed to do.
It almost became our, we were almost like held captive.
art bell
Was it like bad things it was telling you?
I mean, give me an idea.
deborah moffitt
No, there were bad things, but it would, you know, it wanted, it would say, don't go in the attic, don't do this, don't bring anybody to the house.
If my mother-in-law had father-in-law had to go somewhere, if they didn't ask the entity, you know, say they were going to go, it would destroy the car so they couldn't go.
It had such power, it stopped us from doing some of the things we wanted to do.
It would break windshields, break headlights.
It was the most, you can't believe the feeling of almost being held captive in your life.
art bell
Yeah, this is very serious damage, for one thing.
deborah moffitt
It destroyed the house.
The entity had a symbol.
It was a triangle, and it had a tail coming out the bottom.
And it carved this symbol in the walls.
It burned them in the walls.
It cut pieces, like four or five-foot pieces of rug out in the symbol.
It literally destroyed our house.
Every day was putting our house back together.
art bell
That's incredible.
You know, I mean, how do you go on living with something like that?
Now, I guess at this point, you knew it was with you, not just the house.
So it wouldn't make any difference.
deborah moffitt
It was with us.
I mean, no matter we went, like I said, we'd go out to dinner, we'd come home, on the kitchen table would be the name tag from the lady that waited on us.
One time we went out to dinner, and my mother-in-law looked down at her plate, and her meat, it had a big, like someone had taken a big bite out of her meat.
unidentified
So where we went, it went.
art bell
Well, that sure takes the fun out of a night out.
Okay, so no way to get rid of this thing.
I mean, I would have tried another priest.
deborah moffitt
We tried everything.
We called Lloyd Arbach.
He was in charge.
He had a paranormal organization.
art bell
I know him, yes.
deborah moffitt
Yeah, he sent Chris Chacone out.
And I remember Chris Chacone came out and he had, at that time, I've never seen one before, one of those meters, EMF meters or whatever it is.
Yes, and he went through the house and he checked it with that and everything.
And when he was done, he couldn't do anything, he said.
I said, well, what is it?
What's going on?
And he said to me, very nice, gentleman, he said, there's some things in this world you're never going to understand.
And that was all they could do for us.
Everyone that came, and we called, we went, there was no one we didn't try.
We tried musicians.
We tried people that practice Wiccan.
We tried, we went to Thelma Moss.
She sent out Carrie Gaynor because she wasn't doing it at the time.
He came to try to help us.
No one could get rid of it.
They would say, we'll pray for you.
We'd have religious people come out.
We'll pray for you.
But no one could help us.
art bell
Well, okay.
I'm lost.
I mean, at this point, what does anybody do?
You mentioned he had a meter.
Did anything register on the meter?
deborah moffitt
He didn't tell me anything.
All he would tell me was, there's some things in this world you're never going to understand.
art bell
All right.
Well, I know Lloyd, so I'll talk to him about it.
deborah moffitt
Yeah.
art bell
But obviously...
deborah moffitt
Yeah, a very nice man.
Trying to think other, we had, like I said, people from all over.
We even wrote to people in different countries.
In Brazil, there was a gentleman that worked with this thing.
We contacted him.
He told us to contact the Warrens.
But before we contacted the Warrens, we had other people come out.
We had a, this is the time I saw it show itself, or at least use something to show itself.
Two shamans came out to the house.
Very nice people.
They came out.
By this time, the entity had destroyed my mother-in-law's room upstairs to the extent, and it was felt so dangerous now, we all moved in together into the master suite downstairs.
art bell
Huddling together.
deborah moffitt
Yeah, so now downstairs, we have, thank goodness it's a really large room, has a sitting room, so we had beds in there, we had bed in the other part, so we all stayed together.
At night, we didn't go apart.
My mother-in-law very rarely even walked through the house by herself.
art bell
Don't blame you a bit.
I think any group of people would be so terrorized.
Yes, you can do nothing.
There is nothing literally you can do.
So you try to survive.
deborah moffitt
Right.
That's what you do.
You try to survive the best you can.
It got to the point where she'd be sitting in a chair.
She'd turn next to her.
And next to her would be a knife sticking right next to her in the wall.
art bell
Oh, my God.
deborah moffitt
And these weren't our knives.
We ended up with a box of knives, a big box of knives that Weren't our knives that we just threw away.
art bell
Really?
deborah moffitt
Yeah, he just supported them here.
art bell
So you saved them?
deborah moffitt
We had them in a box and we threw them away after about a year.
When the box got filled, we just threw them away.
art bell
You had a box full of knives.
deborah moffitt
Yeah, and they weren't our knives.
And they were all kinds of knives, old knives, new knives.
art bell
So at this point, you had no idea.
Well, you were in discussions with this thing, right?
I mean, obviously.
deborah moffitt
Up to a point, we weren't, because in a way, like I said at the beginning, for the first year or so, he talked at us.
He wouldn't really communicate with us.
Later on, he started communicating with me.
But at this point, he wasn't.
The last thing was before the spear came, I'll talk to you about the spear.
But before they came, the Indians came.
The shamans came.
art bell
Indians?
deborah moffitt
Okay.
Very nice people.
They really tried to help us.
There were two shamans came, a female and a male.
And I went with them upstairs.
Now, no one was upstairs.
The NCD took over the upstairs.
It became his upstairs.
You could feel it if you started going up the steps.
You'd get halfway up the steps, and it was like something would just tell you no.
And you didn't want to come back down the steps.
You just left it alone.
So we didn't use the upstairs for like six years.
Oh, Lord.
He went, the two shamans went upstairs.
They asked me to come with them.
I went with them.
They did a ritual.
They had, I remember, feathers, and they were putting sage, I think, all through the rooms and chanting.
They opened up the door, which is right at the top of the steps that goes into the attic.
They opened up the door and they would blow the sage in.
And as they would blow the sage in, a second later, something would blow it back out.
art bell
And their reaction?
deborah moffitt
Yeah, you could see the smoke go in, then you could see something blow it out again.
art bell
And their reaction to that?
deborah moffitt
They said, we have to go into that room.
So they went into the attic.
I stood right at the doorway so I could be right there seeing what was going on.
Now, the attic had a pink insulation around the walls.
And he told me he was going to confront this and make it show itself.
I stood right there and watched this happen.
And it's something I'll remember to my dying day.
As I watched, the pink installation came off the sides of the wall and formed into a gigantic head.
It was like a five-foot head hanging from a rafter.
And it was just a head.
That was all.
And I only saw the side view of it.
I didn't see the front.
And it had a huge chin and a large nose.
And on the side of its head, instead of an ear, it had a circular horn that started there and made a circle and went up and over the top of its head into a big horn.
unidentified
How are you taking this, Debbie?
art bell
Even the unaverage person could not take this kind of stuff happening.
deborah moffitt
You know, this is the truth.
I don't know why, but from the very beginning, I was not frightened of this.
It was almost like one of us in the house got to be the strong one.
My husband couldn't.
He had a bad heart.
My father-in-law wasn't a good person.
My mother-in-law was weak, and I had a child.
Someone had to defend the family, and it was left to me.
So I just...
art bell
All right, Deborah Muffet, hold on.
The head part, that would have been over the top.
unidentified
Way, way, way over the top for me.
art bell
I'm Ardell.
unidentified
This is Midnight in the Desert.
Tell you all about the mouse in a moment.
art bell
Unbelievable.
Absolutely unbelievable.
unidentified
What's Set in the Dark stays in the dark?
Call Midnight in the Desert at 1-952-Call Art.
That's 1-952-225-5278.
art bell
All right, my guest is Deborah Moffat.
If he's in a nightmare, nobody can even contemplate.
Romy, partway through the story is just...
unidentified
Totally off the charts, as you can hear.
art bell
I want to take a second because I've never had anything like this happen before.
Now, I'm telling you, you heard me when it happened.
I just took a picture and I sent it to Keith.
Now, it's not of the mouse because the mouse is vanished, gone.
Here's the way it came down.
And it's just too weird.
I mean, on my right, literally, on my right is a Denin CD player, right?
And above that, I've got a special Denon machine that plays Keith, or Keith's voice.
I've got the evil Keith on my mind.
Will play Ross's voice, you know, like that, when I hit a button.
That's where the mouse was standing.
Now that's directly in front of me, right next to me.
And this mouse is sitting there, eyes open, looking at me, curious, or something.
I mean, why would a mouse get that close to a human and then just sit there and stare?
I turned to my left to get my camera, and, you know, I started to open the camera app, and I turned back around and was gone.
That was freaky.
Let me tell you, that was freaky.
That mouse I'm going to name Abby.
I need to do something with the name Abby.
unidentified
Oh, God, I wonder where it is.
art bell
What was weird about it is A, it was so close to me.
B, it could have set off Ross's voice.
It was just standing there.
And C, it was staring at me.
I'm telling you.
I looked it right in the eyes.
It looked at me.
I know.
Too much, right?
But it happened, and I had to get that off my chest.
So anyway, I sent a picture to Keith of the equipment I'm talking about.
He's going to post it up there, I think.
So you can take a look.
You'll see how close this is to me.
It's right here.
I could have, well, if I'd been past and had the guts, I could have grabbed him with my hand.
That's how close he was.
But the little sucker was staring at me.
All right.
Gathering back together.
it's just weird.
It's weird that it happens when I'm getting a story like this from Debbie.
Hey, Debbie.
deborah moffitt
Yes.
art bell
I mean, that's almost impossible.
You know, a mouse.
Yeah, they're pretty, you know.
They're kind of, yeah, timid and scattered.
This guy was, I could have grabbed him with my hand.
That's how close he was and just staring at me.
Weird.
Okay.
Anyway, back to your weirdness.
So this thing is ruining your life.
It's ruining your house.
Literally destroying your house.
It's putting knives hither and yon in places where you might sit.
God, awful thought.
And there's no help to be had, no matter who you see.
deborah moffitt
We tried everything.
You know, it got to the point where my mother-in-law was becoming distraught, which you couldn't blame her.
She had no life.
She couldn't even have money to do anything.
You know, I believe that this entity, whatever it was, and I still to this day don't really know what it was, I don't think it had the power to actually kill her.
I think it wanted her to commit suicide.
And that was trying to drive her to suicide.
Because with the power it had, I can't believe it couldn't have just snapped her neck if it wanted to.
art bell
You know, that's actually a very good point.
A very good point.
It seems like it was trying to either scare her to death or, as you point out, have her take her own life.
deborah moffitt
Right.
Now, now, when they moved down to downstairs with us in the master bedroom, the entity no longer wrote upstairs because no one was up there to see it.
It started writing in the guest bathroom downstairs.
So it moved from upstairs to downstairs, not living, but writing.
So that's where it did all its writing.
And it wouldn't write a little bit.
It would write morning, noon, and night, constantly writing.
art bell
Examples, please, of what it said.
deborah moffitt
Like I said, at first, it would tell us what to do.
How it changed was like this.
This was after like two years of going through this constant terror, especially with my mother-in-law.
And it got to the point it was just too much.
Then something happened.
The entity locked her in the pantry.
She got up to get some paper towels.
It locked her in the pantry.
And it did grab her by the throat and throttled her.
Now, like I said, with its strength and its power, it could have killed her if it wanted to, but it didn't.
But it did leave marks on her throat.
At that time, it got to the point where I felt so helpless.
Because what can you do?
I was trying to protect her the best I could, but how can you fight at something you can't see?
So I went into the mirror at this time.
I was very angry with the entity.
And I confronted it.
And I told it, I said, listen, I'm going to treat you with respect.
You'll treat me with respect.
You're not to touch my child, my husband, or my mother-in-law, Lee.
And I left the bathroom to see what it was going to say.
A minute later, I walked back in and it wrote on the mirror, I will not touch the child.
I will not touch your husband, but Lee belongs to me.
That's when it told me, when I asked it why, that's when it wrote the story of what happened in the past and why she belonged to him.
art bell
Well, wait a minute.
It wrote the whole story?
deborah moffitt
Yes, it took a couple of an hour.
I would go in, he'd write on the mirror, I'd erase it, I'd go back out, come back in.
He told the whole, my me, the whole story.
art bell
Debbie, I don't get how you held up through this.
deborah moffitt
You know what?
It's because I didn't have a choice.
What can I do?
art bell
Yeah, I do get that.
I guess I get that.
But when I say held up, I meant psychologically held up.
How did you, you know, not go bonkers?
deborah moffitt
Because I was so worried about everybody else and making sure they were safe and trying to appease the entity at the same time.
Because I found out from that time on, that's when I started calling the entity Mr. Entity.
I wouldn't call it Prince because I wouldn't give it that power over me to call it Prince because that's what it wanted.
So I couldn't call it Entity.
So I just called it, I told it I'd treat it with respect and sounds silly, but I started calling it Mr. Entity.
From that time on, I referred to him as Mr. Entity, and he would call me Debbie.
And from that time on, instead of talking at us, he started to actually communicate with me.
He would write to me on the mirror.
art bell
Did you get any photographs of all this?
deborah moffitt
Do you know, this is funny.
When it first started, we'd had one researcher come and he would say, now take pictures of everything that happens and document everything so that you can show the next researcher or you can show me what's happening.
So we would.
It'd write on the mirror, we write it in a book, and we try to take pictures.
Now, some of the pictures aren't great because you have to remember, back at that time, it wasn't the digital camera where you could see if you took a good picture.
And taking pictures of a mirror, you got a lot of glare.
unidentified
Right.
Right.
art bell
I get that, but you did.
You did take pictures.
deborah moffitt
During this whole like six-year period, we must have taken a thousand pictures.
unidentified
Okay.
deborah moffitt
Right?
But this is what would happen.
The next researcher that would come would say to us, now, you've got to get rid of all these pictures.
You've got to get rid of all this documentation because you're keeping it here.
You're acknowledging it and you're making it stay.
So throw all this away.
So it was a constant taking pictures, throwing them away, taking pictures, throwing them away.
So luckily, my husband, who is a hoarder, he would not throw them all away.
He had a box, which I didn't know about until he died.
He would take some of the pictures and he'd throw them all the time in the box.
So I have like over 200 pictures, 250 pictures of the demon writing and the things that happened with the negatives.
So I have a box full of those.
But they're not all the pictures because we threw most of them away.
art bell
Yeah, but it would be enough.
deborah moffitt
Yeah.
art bell
It would be enough.
deborah moffitt
In the book, The Unwelcome.
That's why I actually wrote the second book.
Because the second book, Actually, I just wanted to show people the pictures.
There's over 100 pictures in that book of what went on.
And that's what's so fascinating.
Even me, who went through it.
See, for 25 years, we hid it because once it left, we decided we're not going to talk about it because people said, well, don't talk about it because you'll bring it back.
So we didn't want it to come back.
So we never, for 25 years, we made a vow.
We never spoke to a person about it.
No one ever knew anything about it.
Even my kids didn't know about it.
art bell
You indicated that something strange happened.
Well, go ahead.
Your husband died?
deborah moffitt
My husband died, and I was cleaning out the closet, and I found the box in the back of the closet.
And I opened it up, and it was full of the pictures from the demon.
art bell
Okay, and those are in your book.
deborah moffitt
Yeah, just 100 of them.
I have hundreds more.
art bell
You have 100 pictures in the book.
That's pretty darn good, I'd say.
deborah moffitt
Yeah, I wanted people to see it.
I wanted people to realize that, you know, this happened.
Look, look what it did.
Look how it communicated.
art bell
Okay, your books are a deadly haunting and unwelcome.
deborah moffitt
Well, that's a deadly haunting is the fiction version.
It's based on the true story, but it's more fictionalized.
But 95% of it's accurate.
I wrote unwelcome because I wanted everything to be the truth.
I wanted people to know just what happened, and I wanted to show the pictures.
art bell
All right.
Now, you indicate that something happened involving animals.
What was that?
deborah moffitt
Oh, this is very sad for me to talk about because the entity killed our animals.
When we left the first houses down on the other street, we left our dog down there the last night.
We were going to pick him up in the morning because we had no place to put him.
And we had wrought iron gates.
And the entity took the dog and he actually pulled the dog, a pit bull, big, heavy pit bull.
It actually pulled it through one of the three, four inch wrought iron slides.
art bell
Oh, my God.
deborah moffitt
So half the dog was on one side and half was on the other.
art bell
Oh, my God.
deborah moffitt
And I just, I could cry when I even think about it, why we left that dog there.
I remember saying, please, let's take him.
No, he'll be okay one night.
We'll pick him up tomorrow.
And he wasn't.
It's so sad.
It was just.
art bell
All right.
You did contact Ed and Lorraine Warren, right?
deborah moffitt
Right.
I contacted Ed and Lorraine Warren.
art bell
What did they do?
deborah moffitt
They were very nice people.
They came out.
This was back in, let's see, 88.
Where was it 89?
The beginning of 89.
It was in February of 89, I think it was.
They were very nice people.
I contacted them.
They said they were coming out to California to have some kind of convention or something with a friend of theirs.
I think his name was Chuck Moses from Los Angeles.
And so they said they would stop and see if they could help us.
Ed Warren was, I mean, you could sit and talk to him for hours.
He was such a very kind, nice man.
Lorraine was a little different.
She was a little standoffish, a little reserved, but they were both very nice.
I remember they came into the house.
Now, whenever the entity did something, very few times did you actually ever get to see it.
It's like you had to turn your back or blink an eye before it happened.
And this is one of the things I actually saw.
When Lorraine came into the room, she walked by a toy box and the toy box slid right out in front of her.
So I actually saw that.
And that was one of the rare times that did something in front of someone.
art bell
Okay.
So the Warrens tried, but no luck.
deborah moffitt
They came.
We all sat down.
She said, I'm going to walk through the house.
She walked through the house.
She came back down.
She was rather pale.
And I remember she looked at us and said, this demon is the most powerful, ancient, evil demon I have ever experienced.
She said, this is bad.
I remember turning dead and saying, this is bad, Ed.
This is really bad.
Of course, my mother-in-law, I mean, my mother-in-law almost passed out when she heard this because it really scared her.
They told us they didn't have any contacts in California, someone who could come and help us other than them.
And so they decided, Ed said he would do a rite of provocation.
art bell
I don't know what that is.
deborah moffitt
Actually, I really don't know either.
It's just he called, he kind of confronted the demon.
But you know, at the time, I think there was more than one thing in the house because you got the feeling there was one strong thing and maybe some other things that weren't quite as powerful.
But there was like one main thing that was the mean bad one.
And I remember they went in and we all sat in a circle.
And at the time, we had a researcher staying with us whose name was Gary, who was brought to us by a friend who became a good friend of ours, Brian Hurst.
He tried to help us.
He was a medium in Los Angeles, a quite famous medium.
He tried to help us.
He wouldn't go into trance in the house because he said it was just too dangerous.
But he did try to get people to come and help us.
And he brought Gary.
Gary was a researcher.
He was staying with us.
And the entity just hated Gary.
He would torment Gary as much as he tormented my mother-in-law.
So we sat in the circle, and Ed and Lorraine brought a gentleman, I think his name was Kevin, who videotaped everything.
He videotaped it.
And I remember we were sitting in the living room, and Ed did prayers, and he did some other kinds of things, and then he called forth the demon.
Now, my father-in-law was sitting right next to me.
And I remember my father-in-law started to change.
Excuse me.
I don't mean literally change into a monster, but there was subtle changes.
His arm curled up to his chest.
His back started to bend forward, so he kind of leaned forward.
And he kind of became something different than what he was.
And he stood up and he walked towards Zed and he dragged his one leg and he went towards Zed.
And when Ed saw him coming towards him, he got frightened and he held up a little piece of wood he had.
And he said, this is a holy relic from the cross.
You can't harm me.
And my father-in-law, in a voice that was completely different than his, but his voice, said, I'm going to bite your hand off and take your hand in that wood and chew it up and spit it in your face.
And then all of a sudden, my father-in-law turned Around, walked back in the couch, sat down on the couch, and went back to normal.
art bell
This is a horror movie.
deborah moffitt
It is.
It's like anything that ever.
I mean, we had, you know, I don't mention the things like the smells and the pounding and the banging because they seem so non-consequential compared to the other things that happened.
art bell
Right, right.
deborah moffitt
But we had all that.
We had, like for two weeks, we had like rats infesting.
I mean, they were so bad that in the pantry, you'd open the door and they'd be hanging upside down, swinging in the pantry.
art bell
Really?
deborah moffitt
We had birds for over a week that would bombard our windows in the bedroom.
art bell
I wish you hadn't told the rat story.
I'm still looking at rats.
Wonderful.
Rats.
Hanging upside down.
deborah moffitt
Hanging upside down, just swinging.
I mean, and they wouldn't move.
You'd go in and you'd look at them, and they'd just look at you.
I mean, it was like they weren't afraid of you.
unidentified
No, you're scaring me, Debbie, because you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?
deborah moffitt
So Mr. Entity, I remember asking Mr. Entity, it got to the point when I would communicate.
It got to, if I communicated with Mr. Entity, because he loved to talk.
I would go in and talk to him all the time.
If I talked to him, he wouldn't be as destructive.
It's like he was using his energy to communicate instead of destroy the house.
art bell
Now, you're really serious about the rats just staring at you?
deborah moffitt
I swear to you, they just would stare at you.
They wouldn't run.
They'd just look at you.
And we'd have to back.
I remember backing out of the pantry.
And with mom, we'd say, oh, my God.
And then, you know, my father-in-law said, oh, don't worry.
He said, I'll go get rat poison.
And Mr. Entity wrote on the mirror, if you get rat poison, not only the rats will get the poison.
art bell
Oh, my God.
deborah moffitt
This is what he did.
He would threaten us, but then he would back up his threats.
He wanted us to bring a gentleman here who had come to the house before, who he said he had known in a past life.
And he said, if we didn't bring him, something bad would happen.
Well, we didn't want to bring this gentleman back to the house.
You know, it wasn't the type of person he wanted to bring back to the house.
So he killed another dog.
So, see, that's what he did.
He just, what could we do?
How can you fight that?
You can't fight something you can't see.
There was no one to help us.
It was just a matter of surviving.
Our life became so bizarre.
It was like what was abnormal to someone else would be normal to us.
Getting up, looking for knives, pulling knives out of the wall.
I mean, we got to the point where we would just do it.
It's like it wouldn't frighten us anymore because it became so part of our life.
art bell
Well, now you're starting to scare me a little bit.
You know, here I am listening to your story.
You know, I'm 70 years old, Debbie.
70.
A mouse does not come up two feet away from you, and that's how close this mouse was.
I took a photograph, by the way, and sent it to Keith.
So if you want to see how close it is to me, it's the device that allows me to play Ross Mitchell.
This mouse, if he had put his foot forward just a hair, would have set off one of those and played Ross Mitchell.
That's how close it was.
But what got to me was the little guy sat there and just stared at me.
deborah moffitt
Right.
It's like they're not afraid of you.
It's like they're almost just staring you down.
art bell
Well, yes, that's never happened in my 70 years, Debbie.
And here you are telling this story tonight, and you get to rats staring at you.
deborah moffitt
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
So you're freaking me out a little bit now.
When we come back, I want to sort of finish up, and then I want to begin to take some calls.
Would you mind doing that?
deborah moffitt
Oh, certainly.
I'd enjoy it.
art bell
All right.
What a night this has been.
And if she had not come to the story on the rats, I would have been probably feeling a lot better right now.
I'm telling you, I've never had anything like that happen in my life.
You know, they run.
They should be afraid of this, right?
This guy was staring straight at me.
And that must have gone on for 10 to 15 seconds or so before I turn around to get the camera.
unidentified
You know, the headline sticks with the camera.
art bell
Then he was gone.
Shouldn't say he.
I named her Abby, right?
unidentified
Yikes.
art bell
This is Midnight in the Desert.
unidentified
Blow away, blow away, blow away.
To initiate a dialogue sequence with Art Bell, please coordinate your phalanges and call 1-952-225-5278.
That's 1-952-Call Art.
art bell
Well, okay.
Cheers to the person who said, why don't we name that mouse Abby Normal?
Yeah, thanks a lot.
All right.
My guest is staring rats.
God, Deborah Moffat.
So, if you have questions for her, and I can imagine you would, I certainly do.
And incidentally, you can go to my website, not only seeing a picture of where that mouse was, it's the little device with all the little white buttons.
That's where the mouse was.
And also, you can see some pictures that Deborah took.
So, for all those reasons, go to my website now and click on a picture of my guest, Deborah Moffat, and follow the links.
Apparently, it'll go over to her website.
There may be some pictures on my website.
I'm not really sure.
We're about to go to the phones, and I really do want your help in asking questions.
This is a very, very long-term, significant haunting case.
Or demon case.
I guess a demon case, right?
We'll talk more about that.
Anyway, here's the talk.
You're welcome to call now at Area Code 952-225-5278.
That's Area Code 952-225-5278.
You can reach us as well on Skype.
North America, we are simply MITD51.
Midnight in the Desert 51.
M-I-T-D, just the letters.
It's not case sensitive.
You can make it anything you want.
M-I-T-D-5-1.
If you're outside of North America, it's M-I-T-D 5-5.
M-I-T-D 5-5.
Once again, here is Debbie.
Okay, Debbie, this is such an incredible, incredible story in every way I can think of.
You then called, and you sort of gave us the story, Dr. Paglini.
And a lot of people on this show have a lot of request, a lot of request, a lot of respect for Dr. Paglini, the late, great Dr. Paglini.
deborah moffitt
Like I said, she was just awesome.
art bell
I had her on the show many times.
And here's what I'll tell you.
I had all kinds of seers on the show, Debbie.
I had, you know, all kinds of psychics and people like that trying to predict the future.
Nobody, nobody even came close to being as accurate as Dr. Paglini.
It was bizarre how accurate she was.
So if she couldn't do it, I guess nothing could do it.
And she did say she couldn't get this thing out, but she felt it.
deborah moffitt
Right.
Well, like I said, when she came here, tried to get rid of it.
Then she called up later, like within a week's time or so, and she had my father-in-law write things on the mirror for her.
And she wrote Dr. Beglini blank and blank.
And at the bottom of the one thing, she had my father write, God protects us.
And Mr. Entity crossed off God and put Prince protects us.
art bell
All right, there must have been a way that you finally got rid of this thing.
What did you do?
deborah moffitt
First, let me tell you about the spear because that is something that's right.
art bell
The spear, oh, God.
deborah moffitt
That's amazing.
That's something I still have today.
One night, my father-in-law jumps out of bed, and he said, oh, like something had touched him.
And it was like three in the morning.
We go over to his bed, and in his bed, he picks up a spearhead.
It's about 17 inches long.
It's made of iron, some type of metal, looks like iron, and it's hand-forged.
It's really old.
And Mr. Entity writes on the mirror that he wants a blood sacrifice.
art bell
And provides the spear.
deborah moffitt
And the spear must be used.
He wanted my father-in-law to use the spear on my mother-in-law because he had to have blood for his ritual.
Okay.
So the next day, I remember, I took possession of the spear because I knew if I had it, Mr. Enchity never touched anything that belonged to me.
For some reason, I think he respected me.
He just stayed away from me.
If I was with my mother-in-law, he wouldn't harm her.
If I was away from her, he harmed her.
If I had something that belonged to me, it wasn't touched.
I took the spear and I put it away because I knew if I had it, Mr. Enchity couldn't have it.
We took it to the next day to the Los Angeles Museum, History Museum, to see if we could have it identified.
art bell
Right.
deborah moffitt
The gentleman there, we got to go in the back with all the tables.
And the gentleman came out and told us, he looked at it, and he told us it was a spearhead from the Belgian Congo area.
It was over 200 years old.
art bell
Really?
deborah moffitt
And he said it looked like it was brand new.
He couldn't understand it because it looked so new, like it was just made.
And he said it wasn't for hunting.
It wasn't for warfare because of the way it was sharpened.
He could tell.
He said this was the type of spearhead that's used for, the shamans use for magical rituals.
I remember when I came home and I asked Mr. Entity, where did you get this?
He said, I got it from the Congo.
But he told us it was a very special, special implement and that it had to be used for the blood ritual.
art bell
This was a very conversational demon.
deborah moffitt
It talked all the time.
Matter of fact, I told it, no, you're not.
I actually said, no, you're not getting a blood ritual.
I'm not going to let it happen.
And it got so upset, it blew out all the windows in the top floor.
art bell
Who did all the repairs?
deborah moffitt
My father-in-law and myself.
I mean, we had big tubs of plaster because he used to gouge in the wall.
If you look at some of the pictures, you can see he used to just take something and gouge in the walls.
That's why I was actually happy when he started writing on the mirror because when he started writing on the mirror, he stopped gouging everything in the walls.
I remember one of the researchers said to us, well, why are you letting him write on the mirror?
Just take the soap away.
Don't let him write on the mirror.
And then I tried to explain to him, well, if we take the soap away, he destroys the house.
It's best that he puts it on the mirror, we can wipe it off.
art bell
Right.
deborah moffitt
And also, if I communicated with him, he didn't, like I said, he wasn't after my mother-in-law, and he wasn't after the house every minute.
It was like he used his energy to communicate, and he liked to communicate.
art bell
I can see now, for example, the front of your book, Unwelcomed, has what looks like a bloody, is that a spear?
deborah moffitt
That's the spear.
art bell
That's the spear.
It looks like blood on it.
Oh, my God.
Look at this.
I can see a bed.
Oh, my God.
A bed standing on end.
How does that happen?
deborah moffitt
He would take The room is a small room.
It's a four-poster bed.
Sometimes we'd come in and the bed would be upside down, and you had to take the bed apart to get it to put it back up because the bed's too big to turn over in the room.
So it would be upside down.
art bell
Upside down is bad enough, but this is like it would have to be balanced to be in this position.
deborah moffitt
Yeah, it was.
So like I said, a few things happened in front of you.
Most happened behind your back.
One of the most, I think, amazing, amazing things, even more amazing than the sphere and the ports and everything else, is one picture I, two pictures I took in the bathroom.
Now, you have to understand, these bath, their bathroom mirrors were bolted onto the wall.
They were never taken from the wall until I redecorated in 2013.
I would go in, take pictures, and then, you know, we'd look at the pictures.
So I was going through the pictures looking for pictures to put in the book.
And I see one picture, and then I see another picture that was taken.
They have dates on them that was taken right afterwards.
art bell
Yeah, I see the dates.
deborah moffitt
And you look at the picture, and it's not, the reflection is not the bathroom.
Do you understand what I mean?
unidentified
Yes.
deborah moffitt
If you look in the mirror, you see the reflection behind the bathroom.
art bell
It's the wrong thing.
Yes, it's the wrong thing.
deborah moffitt
It's the kitchen.
I can see the kitchen.
art bell
I don't know how you could have put up with this.
I really don't.
deborah moffitt
We had no choice.
art bell
Yeah, I'm getting that.
deborah moffitt
What could we do?
We couldn't run away from it.
We couldn't get rid of it.
No one could help us.
We just had to survive.
art bell
Right.
There came a time, I guess, when you finally got rid of this thing.
deborah moffitt
Yeah, it left of its own free will.
art bell
Why?
I mean, it had an absolute goal, right?
deborah moffitt
Right.
Here's what happened.
Dr. Berghuini, like I told you, she told us how powerful this was.
And she said to me, she said, listen, the reason I can't get rid of this is because somebody in the house is giving it permission to stay.
And if someone gives it permission to stay in the house, no one can get rid of it.
She said, I'm not telling you I can get rid of it even if that person leaves.
She said, but we have a better chance.
So she said, I said, well, who is it?
She said, we'll find out tonight.
She said, I'm going to do something.
She said, tomorrow you call me and you let me know what happens tomorrow night.
Okay, during the middle of the night, I think it was like 3.30 or so, my father-in-law jumps up in bed and he starts coughing like he can't breathe.
Just coughing and coughing and shaking.
And we thought we were going to have to call the ambulance because he wouldn't stop.
Then, just like it started, he laid back down and went right back to sleep like nothing happened.
So the next day I told Dr. Paglini what happened and she said, he's the one that's giving it permission to stay in the house.
And I found out the entity actually wrote to me and explained to me that my father-in-law, my father-in-law was not a very nice man, not a nice man at all.
And he had got to the point he was sick of my mother-in-law.
And so he was actually encouraging the entity to kill my mother-in-law.
So when the entity explained this to me, then not only did I have to protect her from the entity, but I had to protect her from her husband.
And she was one of these old world Italian ladies.
We would say to her, Ma, you've got to get rid of him.
He's got to go or we can't get rid of the entity.
Oh, no, no, it's not him.
It's not him.
We even sent him to a psychiatrist, everything, to try to find out if, you know, the hostility he had towards my mother-in-law.
Nothing helped.
Finally, she made him move out.
When he moved out, the entity didn't leave.
The entity still stayed.
But he became more community.
unidentified
He liked to talk even more when my father-in-law was gone.
deborah moffitt
Once my father-in-law was gone, and I knew nothing was keeping him in the house, and Gary was still living with us at the time.
I remember telling Mr. Entity, you have to go now, Mr. Entity.
No one's keeping you here, and you're not going to stay here.
Gary was a researcher who was kind of down on his luck.
He decided because the entity was so powerful that if he welcomed him into his life, maybe his life would be better.
So Gary told me, he said, I'm going to go in and I'm going to tell Mr. Entity, he can come with me.
I'm leaving.
I'm going to England.
He can come with me.
So I remember I went in and I told Mr. Entity, all right, Mr. Entity, it's time for you to leave now.
You have to go.
Gary said, you can go with him.
And the entity wrote on the mirror, I don't want to leave.
And then he wrote, I will not work with an inferior being.
I will destroy him.
art bell
Okay.
I'm going to go to some calls.
You actually, this story did a pretty good job on me tonight.
Hi there, I think Orleans, Ontario, maybe?
unidentified
That's right.
This is Timmy Jay, and I want to send a shout out to all my DM Talk peeps, especially to Michael and Rob.
Hi, Art.
deborah moffitt
Hi, Debbie.
unidentified
Hi.
I have a question concerning EVPs, and I'd like to know if Debbie caught any and if she has any up on her website.
deborah moffitt
Do you know what?
Back then, no one even brought up the subject of EVPs to us.
We were novices in this.
We were just fighting to stay alive.
I didn't, you know, if someone would have suggested it, I would have tried it, but no one even suggested it anymore.
art bell
Yeah, you didn't really need to hear voices.
You had it all written out for you.
deborah moffitt
Right.
He would write it.
unidentified
Okay, perfect.
Thanks a lot.
art bell
You're very welcome.
Listen, folks, be sure you take a look at these photographs.
The ones that are on my website, just down below Deborah's picture, you'll see her books.
And then you'll see this bed standing on end.
When I mean on end, two legs, the other two legs clean up in the air.
This was serious stuff.
unidentified
You'll see a picture of this spear.
art bell
I guess that's what it is, a spear.
How big was that?
deborah moffitt
It's about 17 inches.
art bell
Okay.
And it looks like it's made for ritual sacrifice of some kind.
deborah moffitt
Right.
The entity told me what this spear is possible, has the capability to do, and I won't even talk about it.
I mean, I just keep it put away so it can't hurt anybody because if the entity gets it again, I'm afraid he'll hurt somebody with it.
art bell
Are you afraid it's going to come back?
deborah moffitt
No.
art bell
Good.
unidentified
Robert, you're on the air with Debbie.
art bell
Your story.
I'm very moved by it, too.
But Robert, I had to put that out.
I don't want you to give your last name on the air.
unidentified
Oh, I'm sorry.
I have no idea.
My bad.
So, Robert, can I start again?
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
Hello.
I just wanted to say, Deborah, we have a research group here, and we have gone through something very similar.
We have found that it's the interaction between when the spirits or demons talk to you and after the person, someone does need to give permission, but also anyone else, anyone sensitive who can hear them, it's the interaction that seems to give them energy.
And the more you talk to them, the more they can affect you.
There's so many people I found going through this now.
I just wanted to let people know that.
And the mouse thing, that when I was first in a house, when I first started being able to hear, I didn't believe what I was hearing.
And it's like they wanted to prove it, and a mouse, a big Romarette, walked up and stared at me exactly when Art started saying what had happened to him.
Chills just tore through my spine.
This is like the fifth time I've heard this.
fact that it happened live to art is just flabbergasting.
And so that is...
At least I can tell some of the people here who are still suffering from that, that there is hope.
They just have to.
I wish I knew how your person that helped you made him cough so you could identify who, in fact, was giving permission.
I would love to know how to do that.
Is it a prayer?
Is it a ritual?
If you could elaborate on that, I would love it so much.
deborah moffitt
Thank you.
When Gary told him he could go with him, Mr. Entity said, no, I'm not going.
I want to stay here.
And all I did was say, no, you're not staying here.
You have to leave now.
It's time for you to go.
And he said, I won't work with an inferior being.
And this is so strange because for a demon, when he talked, he said, then he wrote, I said, well, why won't you go with Gary?
He said, he has no integrity.
He has no word.
And he gave like a list of things.
And I thought, what a strange thing for a demon to demand from a person to leave with when he's a demon.
Yet he expected the person that he left with to have like integrity.
That was so strange.
art bell
Yeah, this whole night is strange.
Let's go on to our next caller.
You're on the air with Deborah.
unidentified
Hi.
Hey, how y'all doing?
I just wanted to say that I find the subject of aports to be extremely interesting.
That's the most interesting thing I've heard tonight.
I just wanted to clarify with you, Debbie.
There was no apparitions that have appeared during the situation?
deborah moffitt
My mother-in-law saw something twice.
She saw blackness come after.
It actually chased her down the hall.
And she saw the black, like a blackness.
Nothing with the eyes, no form, just black.
She went after twice when she was alone.
unidentified
Like a shadow figure of some kind?
deborah moffitt
Actually, she said it wasn't even a figure.
It was just blackness.
Like a black cloud.
The only thing, like I said, that I saw that resembled when it showed itself with the insulation.
unidentified
Have you ever heard of the documentary, The Afterlife Investigations, either of you?
There's a lot of APWORT.
No.
It's a study by Skoll.
That's what the name of the British study of these sort of things.
It's very interesting that I think both of you should check out.
It's called The Afterlife Investigations and one of the best documentaries I've ever seen dealing with app works and all kinds of different things.
Well, I'll check it out to be sure.
art bell
Do you remain interested in this sort of thing, Deborah, or do you want to put it behind you?
deborah moffitt
You know what?
I still have an interest in it.
I don't want to get involved in it because I just, you know, I've been there, done it, I just don't want it.
But it's still very interesting.
Why it's interesting to me is because I have so many unanswered questions.
How things happened, why they happened, who this was.
I would love someone to say, you know, to research it and say, you know, this is what really happened.
This is what it was.
This is why it could do this.
That I would love because I just have no answers.
art bell
I get it.
Okay, let's go to Twin Cities for Deborah High.
deborah moffitt
Hi, Art.
unidentified
This is Rocky.
I had a couple questions.
One of them was answered.
I was going to ask if she tried removing the soap, but I guess she answered that.
So I was wondering if the entity could kill animals, why she thinks that it couldn't actually harm any of the humans.
deborah moffitt
Because I believe that a human is a higher soul, and I don't think the demon could kill it.
I think demons have rules.
That's my own belief.
I don't know if it's true or not.
art bell
Demons have rules?
deborah moffitt
Yeah.
I think everything has certain rules.
And I really don't believe a demon can actually kill someone.
I think they drive them to suicide, or they scare them to death, or they influence somebody else to hurt them.
art bell
Actually, that may be a pretty good point.
Because rarely do you ever hear, but a dog torn in half, literally.
I mean, my God.
deborah moffitt
It was horrible.
unidentified
Absolutely horrible.
art bell
Anything else, Color?
unidentified
Seeing the image of the spear, it sort of reminded me of images of ancient relics about the spear of destiny, the spear that was used to pierce the side of Jesus.
art bell
Don't look very ancient to me.
unidentified
Yeah.
There are different relics throughout history that had claimed to be it.
The one that I've seen images of, there was just the point of the spear very similar to what she took a picture of.
Did you see the picture of the bed up above?
Yeah.
art bell
Yikes.
This is the serious stuff that you see in horror movies.
Really, it is.
Okay, well, thank you, Pollard.
You've written books.
Do you think, Debbie, anybody biting on a movie?
deborah moffitt
You know what?
I never even pursued that.
My first goal was just being able to tell people what happened after so many years of hiding it.
I just felt so good, just telling people, look, this really happened.
I mean, that was my first goal, just to get it out there, to let people know what happened, to be able to just tell people about it.
art bell
Now, I get it.
That helps to be able to talk to people.
There's no question about it.
deborah moffitt
It really did help.
art bell
All right.
Let's go to Chase, I believe it is, on Skype.
Hello.
unidentified
Hello, how are you guys?
art bell
We're fine.
deborah moffitt
Good, thank you.
unidentified
Deborah, I wanted to ask you if you ever did any research on Prince, actually.
I vaguely remember something about Solomon in the Old Testament working with some former demon called Prince or any kind of research on the triangle with the tail?
deborah moffitt
You know, we had Todd Hendrickson, who's a researcher right now, looking into it.
And he hasn't found anything that matches it completely yet.
He's still looking.
He's still researching.
But no one can come up with it.
But you'll see, if you see some of the pictures in the book, I mean, he put this symbol everywhere.
So it was his mark.
unidentified
Wow, it's very interesting.
That's the only question I had.
And are times like this really make seem best for Malcolm Martin hearing this kind of story?
art bell
All right.
Thank you very much for the call and take care.
This is just an odd night all the way around.
Hello there.
You're on the air with Deborah.
unidentified
Hello.
art bell
Hello.
unidentified
Hi.
I just wanted to say that in your texture where you're supposed to have the mouse or whatever right behind that machine that says Denon, it looks like the little mouse is looking at you from underneath the white wire.
art bell
No, no, no.
Okay, you see the Denon machine, right?
And then there's another machine on top of it with a whole bunch of white buttons, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
That's where it was standing.
unidentified
And if you look right behind, there's like a little white square on there.
art bell
Oh, yeah, it's an L C D. The little white square is an L C D display.
And he had his feet on that.
He was just sitting there.
She was just sitting there staring at me.
Just staring at me.
Kind of like Debbie said the rats were staring.
unidentified
Right behind that.
Underneath the twisted black and white wire, it looks like there's something furry.
I think it's the mouth.
art bell
I don't think so.
Trust me.
I've been doing nothing but looking.
It's not there now.
But thank you for the call.
unidentified
Thank you.
art bell
Take care.
That sounded like a youngster, proving my point that we get them all the time.
Chaz, hello.
You're on the air with Deborah.
Hey, Art.
unidentified
This is Chaz calling from Vegas.
art bell
Welcome.
unidentified
Hi, Deborah.
Good evening.
I have a quick question for you.
I know I've heard a lot of people who deal with this type of thing mention that the more you talk about it, the more type of power you give it, and you acknowledge it, and welcome it and that type of thing.
And I know you had mentioned that you weren't really worried about it coming back.
I mean, it could be a possibility.
What would you do?
How would you handle it if it did come back?
deborah moffitt
I truly believe, believe my whole soul, it can't come back here.
It won't come back and it can't come back here.
It's gone from here.
It's still out there somewhere, tormenting someone, but it's not going to be me or my family.
unidentified
Oh, well, let's hope it's not out there.
Let's hope it's gone for good.
art bell
Did you call her get to see the photographs?
unidentified
I did.
You know, the one with the mirror and the writing on the mirror, it looked like a flash from a camera, so that was kind of hard to see, and she admitted it was like the reflection of the kitchen and not the bed or the bathroom.
art bell
No, I think she's talking about another picture, perhaps.
deborah moffitt
Are you?
Yeah, there's a different picture.
There's one, if you had the book, it's on nearly the last page.
It's a really good picture.
And it shows the kitchen.
unidentified
Okay.
deborah moffitt
And it's like, how can this be?
It's being taken in the bathroom.
unidentified
Wow.
Well, the one at the bed was, whew, that was pretty wicked, man.
art bell
Yeah, that's kind of like out of any horror movie you could name.
All right, Chas, thank you very much and take care.
Let's go to...
Hello.
unidentified
Hi, this is Joseph.
It's a first-time caller.
How you doing, Art?
art bell
Very well, Joseph.
Thank you for calling.
Great to have you.
unidentified
Well, yeah, it's great to be on the show, man.
I really like it.
I was going to ask Debbie, though, did you ever have anybody like a ceremonial magician, anybody that did things like that, that drew pictures or anything?
deborah moffitt
Yes, did that work at all?
Nothing worked.
Matter of fact, Mr. Entity would make fun of them when they left.
Or if they left anything around, like some witches would come and they'd leave candles.
You turn around and Mr. Entity would take the candles and throw them in the swimming pool.
We had all kinds of religious objects and candles in the bottom of the pool.
unidentified
Okay.
Well, I was just wondering that because I've actually seen that work before.
And I don't know if you're familiar with Robert Monroe or the Monroe Institute.
art bell
I am.
unidentified
Sometimes it's hard to tell if this is just an astral being that's stuck and angry or is it really a demonic, deep part of our consciousness, like an evil part of us all?
Because really, the spirit world is a part of every one of us.
that's just my belief anyways.
So maybe...
deborah moffitt
I don't know really what it was.
I just know it was very evil and it was a very destructive thing.
unidentified
Scary enough not to think about it, huh?
deborah moffitt
Yeah, it is.
I just let it go.
art bell
I must say, you bet, sir.
You held up so well, Debbie.
I mean, so really well.
I'm amazed.
I would not have held up that well, I guarantee you.
In fact, this stupid little mouse just has me going now.
And so if I were to see something like the picture you have up there of the bed up on end, impossible, absolutely impossible, I'd run.
I would run, and I wouldn't stop running until I thought it was far away from whatever was happening, but didn't have that option.
I don't know.
deborah moffitt
It was running right with us.
art bell
Yeah, exactly.
So you had no options left.
All right, hold it where you are.
Everybody, all those lines are full.
We have a Skype availability always, so you can try that.
In North America, we're MITD51.
That's M-I-T-D 51.

And of course, our national number, when we get some free lines, 952-225-5278.
and we'll give you the first time caller line when I come back.
unidentified

To call the show, please dial 1-952-CALLART.
That's 1-952-225-5278.
art bell
What a night.
All right, that's our national number.
Skype, of course, at MITD51 or 55 outside the country.
And our first time caller line.
Always forget to give that out.
It's area code 775-285-5800.
That's area code 775-285-5800.
If you have never called the program before, Deborah Moffat is on here with about the best horror story I guess I've ever heard, including photographs, which you can see in artpell.com, and you can make your way over to her site and see many more.
It was a six-year odyssey of sheer terror with knives and spears, dogs ripped in half, and oh, you name it.
It happened.
Let's go to Matt on Skype.
You're on the air.
unidentified
Hey, good morning, Arn.
art bell
Good morning.
unidentified
Matt from New Orleans.
art bell
New Orleans.
You know, I should add, we are by the way, we're working real hard on WWL in New Orleans.
unidentified
Yes, I read that, and that's going to be unbelievable.
That's going to be great.
Big monster, WWL.
You can hear it all the way into North Louisiana.
art bell
So I've heard, yeah.
unidentified
Great entertaining show tonight.
I just had a couple real quick questions, Deborah.
Did anyone ever see Mr. Entity doing his writings on the mirror?
deborah moffitt
No.
It never was right in front of you.
You had to turn your back or leave the room for a minute and come back.
unidentified
And I may have missed this earlier, but was there ever any smell?
I don't know why through the whole show, just smell like smell.
deborah moffitt
Like I said before, there were a lot of those things.
We had the smells, smelled like rotting food, rotting flesh, noises, poundings.
I remember the night before the shamans came to the house, the whole night it pounded on the walls in the beat of like the war, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
You know, and the entity, it knew the entities, the shamans were coming the next night, and it pounded like that the whole night before they came.
So we had all that.
unidentified
All right.
Thanks a lot, Ark.
art bell
You're welcome.
You know, I can smell something odd now, too.
I wasn't even going to mention that, but something smells a little different or weird in here.
I think what it is, is I've been psychologically traumatized by Abby Normal and your story.
Convinced that's what it is.
All right, let's go to the phone.
And I think Washington Silverdale, hi.
unidentified
Hello.
silverdale in washington
Do you know, I wanted to say I truly believe everything you've said, but what I'd like to encourage you to do for future research people, because in the past we've had extraordinary stories and there's not enough research been able to be done,
and somebody will pass away or family members pass away, and then we're kind of, the community of researchers are just kind of left with, well, hearsay, you know, because there was no proof.
art bell
Well, she sure had a lot of researchers there, ma'am.
silverdale in washington
She sure did.
Yes, she did.
That's not what I'm getting at.
deborah moffitt
And you know what, I still welcome anyone who'd like to research it.
I'm open to telling them just what happened, showing them everything.
silverdale in washington
I would like answers myself.
What I'd like to encourage you to do for two reasons is that that situation where the woman had died or been killed and placed in a rug, you know, in that situation, while you still remember the dates and the woman's name and identification enough that you knew about her and the individual that she was living with,
if you'd call the cold case detectives in that area and just give them a little information, and then that way there's been some kind of, not that I don't believe that this entity could have done that, but you've helped with that situation, case that woman's family, and you've helped with that.
But also in the future, that gives validation that you've done everything you can to isolate that out of the realm of her being murdered by a person.
And I think those kind of things, while that's still available, that could be a matter of time.
art bell
Understand, ma'am, understand.
That murder could have been committed by a person.
I mean, there was domestic abuse going on there.
silverdale in washington
Very definitely.
And so, you know, not to say that that individual that could have murdered her couldn't have been attacked by this entity and caused it, you know, caused the person to do it too.
So I truly believe everything you've said, but as much, that would even validate your efforts to try to, you know, push this forward.
Because I do believe everything you've said, and I think you're right on the trail.
But those kinds of researches tell, you know, and you've done everything you can.
You're a very brave woman, I'll tell you.
And I don't think you have any alternatives, but you're incredible.
deborah moffitt
So thank you so much.
art bell
Thank you.
Yes, six years.
There's no way to get away from it.
There's no way to run away from it.
There's no way to stop it.
And God knows she had everybody in there.
A lot of people you know and I know tried and didn't have any luck with it.
So let's go to, I don't know where it is, but on the phone, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi, Art.
Thanks for taking my call.
I have a few quick questions for Deborah, and then I can take my answers off the air.
Number one, did anyone at any time demand to know the identity of this entity?
Yes.
And did it ever identify itself?
As Prince.
Oh, okay.
What part of California did this happen in?
deborah moffitt
The Rancho Cucamonga area.
unidentified
Okay, thank you.
I know it well.
Also, other than the five-foot head with the horn coming around the top of the head, did the entity ever show itself to anyone?
deborah moffitt
It just showed itself as blackness to my mother-in-law.
Like black cloud twice it chased her.
unidentified
It was a cloud, not an actual type of form.
deborah moffitt
No, she said it was more like a blackness.
unidentified
Okay, well, good luck.
I hope it doesn't return to haunt you anymore, and I give you kudos for what you put up with for six years.
You're a very strong woman, Deborah.
You're welcome.
deborah moffitt
Thank you.
art bell
Apparently, it doesn't respond well to a cross or a Bible or a religious artifact of any kind, right?
deborah moffitt
It used to, what it did to all her statues, her religious statues, it would snap the heads off.
And it would also, the cross, it would also break off the left arm.
It had a certain thing it did, snapped heads and broke off every left arm.
art bell
This is a scary story.
I just don't know how you made it through, but you had no choice again.
Still, you kept a very level head.
I mean, as I hear you talk about it now, it seems like you did keep a very level head.
deborah moffitt
Yeah, I did.
You know, and if you probably heard this story from my mother-in-law's or my husband's perspective, it'd probably be a lot scarier.
Because I was not really, I was frightened for my family, what it could do into them.
art bell
Of course.
deborah moffitt
That's what I was frightened for.
But I wasn't frightened of it.
It was almost like it's okay.
I know it's not going to hurt me.
I have to be here to protect them.
art bell
All right.
Well, let's go to the phones.
Down to San Antonio, Texas.
Hello there.
unidentified
Well, hello.
Hi.
Thanks for taking my call.
God, I've enjoyed your show for years.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I really mean it, too.
I can't, you know, for the first hour and a half or two hours, I've been listening to, you know, you and Deborah talk.
And at first, I am the eternal skeptic, and I'm going like, oh, really?
Oh, come on.
But now that I've heard her entire story, I'm actually kind of creeped out myself.
It kind of scared me.
I have a very good friend.
I'm not going to put her name out on the air, but she has a daughter who seems to attract these things too.
And I was never there to actually see these things, but I've known this woman for like 20 years.
And I don't think she would really exaggerate about things like chairs moving in her kitchen and stuff.
So even though it took me a while to kind of really get into what Deborah was saying, like a lot of the callers, I'm actually amazed that, Debbie, you were able to actually put up with this for so long.
art bell
Except there was no choice.
And I keep saying the same thing, but there was no choice because this thing followed her.
It wasn't in the house.
It was after mother-in-law.
So there was no choice.
It followed them no matter where they would go.
Even if they went out for the night, it followed them.
So imagine the horror of that.
For six years, I can't even imagine.
You know, this is a freaky story, and I don't get scared easily.
Tonight, I don't know why, Debbie, but this scared me.
deborah moffitt
You know what?
Mr. Entity was a very, very evil entity.
He was evil.
unidentified
Yeah, well, it wanted to kill.
So you actually really do believe in, like, there's evil out there.
deborah moffitt
I know it exists.
unidentified
Wow.
Okay.
There are bad humans and there are bad whatevers, but evil.
art bell
I mean, think about it.
Paula, think about it for a second.
If it was you and this thing began to attack and communicate with you, and it wouldn't matter who you called in, priests, people who were really good, like Evelyn Paglini, the Warrens, with this type of thing, they could do nothing.
There was nobody who could do anything, and you were night and day.
This thing was with you, and there was no way to get rid of it.
unidentified
Now, that's frightening.
Well, you know, I do a lot of reading, and I'm not overly religious, but what I have learned is that if you're really in that much of a bad situation, I don't think there really is much that a human being can do about it.
And that's when you have to call upon whoever you believe in, you know, God's, God, Jesus, whoever, and you've got to ask them to come in and help you.
art bell
And they had a priest in there.
unidentified
Yeah, I know.
Obviously, the wrong one.
deborah moffitt
My mother-in-law prayed continually.
I think her strong belief in God is what got her through this.
unidentified
Huh.
deborah moffitt
Because she believed that eventually God would win.
So goodness would win.
So I think that's what actually kept her sanity through this, was her strong belief in God.
art bell
I have a quick question, Deborah.
Why not call another priest?
I mean, if the first priest...
deborah moffitt
We went to other priests, and they would say, we have to get permission from the bishop to do this.
It was a time when it was almost like the Catholic Church was trying to poo-poo things like this going on.
art bell
There was that period, actually, with the church.
deborah moffitt
Yeah, it was like they didn't want to address the situation.
So that's what happened.
unidentified
I mean, we tried other priests.
art bell
Okay.
Anything else, Colin?
unidentified
Well, there is one thing.
You were talking to the young one about the picture on the tenon.
deborah moffitt
Yes.
unidentified
And I've been looking at it, and if you look at the L C D and just above the L C D and below the white and black wires, it does look like there's a mouse hiding there.
art bell
It's not, though.
unidentified
Was it like a rag or something?
art bell
That's just what's called a ferrite.
It's a ferrite on a cable.
unidentified
No, like where the twist is?
art bell
It's right below the black and white wires.
It's actually sitting on a ferrite, which is kind of a round thing.
unidentified
So trust me, it's not a mouse.
Okay.
But I can sure understand where the young wing came through.
Yes.
Okay, well, thank you very much, Art.
I appreciate your time.
art bell
You're very welcome.
Let's go to the phone and say hello.
You're on the air.
Hey, Art.
unidentified
This is Josh from Dallas.
art bell
Hey, Josh.
unidentified
At first, when I heard this, I sort of ran everything through my head.
And I think the thing that really got me, I just went on your site, and I looked at the book and the symbol that is on the book.
Now, was that the symbol that Deborah had been shown by this entity?
deborah moffitt
Yes, it's a triangle with a tail.
And he put that all over.
He even carved it into our car.
unidentified
Have you ever heard of an Iblis?
deborah moffitt
No.
unidentified
That is the symbol of the Iblis jinn.
art bell
What is that?
unidentified
That is, it is spoke about in the Hadith.
I saw that exact symbol whenever I was in Afghanistan in 2010.
art bell
Can you spell that for me?
deborah moffitt
Really?
Can you spell that, please?
unidentified
I B L I S. Okay.
It is the third type of jinn.
That is why you saw smoke.
That is why you have certain smells.
deborah moffitt
Now, you mean like water?
Because this one has a lot of control over water.
unidentified
Yes, they are, I guess is the term people would know it as.
They are elementals.
You had the Iblis, the third kind, are rooted to one area but are capable of moving about.
The other type, the second type, either takes the form of a dog or a snake.
And because I was doing some quick research looking into that spear coming from the Congo, 200 years ago in the Congo, King Leopold II had taken over that area and was cutting off hands of people who were not acting, weren't working fast enough.
That place holds like $50, $60 trillion worth of minerals.
And even here recently, the elected president in the Congo had been executed, and the United States and Belgium had been accused of causing their president of being ousted.
art bell
All right, very quickly.
In Islam, a lease is a jinn who refused to bow for Adam.
Does that sound familiar?
unidentified
Yes, that is what this is.
art bell
Okay.
All right.
Well, thank you very, very much for the call.
deborah moffitt
That's fascinating.
art bell
And I guess you're going to have to look it up, Deborah, and see if you can find the symbol.
deborah moffitt
Yeah, I will, because no one's ever been able to find that symbol.
art bell
Okay.
Well, I'll be looking, too.
One last caller, if we have the time.
Hi.
unidentified
Hi.
My name is Sean.
I'm in Austin, Texas.
art bell
Hey, Sean.
unidentified
Okay, so oddly enough, the guy that was just on the phone, I'm very familiar with what he was talking about, and he kind of took the words out of my mouth.
This was definitely a djinn that was interacting with her.
Like he said, they come in the form of an animal.
And yeah, I don't really have much else to say because the previous caller just kind of answered everything.
But yeah, this was definitely a djinn that was messing with her.
art bell
That's pretty amazing.
All right, well, thank you so very, very much for the information.
We'll research that.
We'll look for the symbol.
And Deborah, we're out of time.
We just did a whole show.
Holy mackerel.
Where did the time go?
But I think we pretty much got the story out.
And I just want to tell you, thank you for unraveling that story here, Deborah.
deborah moffitt
Thank you so much, Arth.
It's been a pleasure talking to you.
art bell
Have a good night.
And again, thank you.
unidentified
Thank you.
deborah moffitt
Good night.
art bell
Good night.
unidentified
What a night, in so many ways.
art bell
What a night.
I wish I could have snapped that picture for you, folks.
I'm not going to be over this for a while, actually.
Just a mouse.
Abbey normal, but just a mouse.
From the high desert to all those time zones out there.
