Levi H. Dowling

“ And as they neared the gates they met a man obsessed. A legion of the unclean ones were in this man, and they had made him strong;
10. And none could bind him down, no, not with chains; for he could break the stoutest chains, and go his way.
11. Now, unclean spirits cannot live in light; they revel in the dark.
12. When Jesus came he brought the light of life, and all the evil spirits were disturbed.
13. The leader of the legion in the man called out, Thou Jesus, thou Immanuel, we beg that thou wilt not consign us to the depths. Torment us not before our time. ”

“ Now, spirits of the lately dead that cannot rise to higher planes, remain about the tombs that hold the flesh and bones of what was once their mortal homes.
6. They sometimes take possession of the living, whom they torture in a hundred ways. ”
