The Confessionals

What if the people following you weren’t just people at all? Andrea recounts a year of escalating gang-stalking so intense she feared leaving her home, cars trying to run her off the road, strangers attempting to open her door, and a man who posed as a fellow “targeted individual” only to vanish in the woods and then astral project into her bedroom a week later with demons laughing all around. This wasn’t paranoia; she describes magic tricks, coded hand signals, and an attack so violent she became physically ill for days. Against this backdrop of spiritual warfare and deception, childhood visitations, a wizard-like figure pulling her into another realm, psychedelic glimpses of the fairy world; Andrea reaches a breaking point and cries out to Jesus, triggering the most life-altering experience of her story.
