                 Recap:- After the gruelling encounter with the devil himself !, and closing the vortex I and Henry were still recuperating from the knowledge of the passing of our teacher and friend father Richard. His face and teaching still freshly lingered in our hearts. He is succeeded by only his nephew  by the name of Arthur ,who also is a priest and knows of our work and the fate of that befell his uncle!!. The worst thing was that since his body was never found ,father's funeral never occurred !! ( This further saddend my mind , the man who gave his life for mankind ,JUST FORGOTTEN !!!!! WITHOUT ANY REMEMBRANCE OF HIS SACRIFICE !!!)

  
                            After a couple of days , I and Henry decided that we cannot be like this forever!!, Father Richard would have never wanted us to do this  And hence decide to continue our work . Arthur came by one day and met us and told us that he too wanted to be a part of the PDT and wanted to continue his uncle's work and help us . I was shocked and immediately said " I've lost too much!! ,I can't lose you as well!!! we shall never speak about this henceforth and you will not join PDT , Do I Make Myself clear ? , Meanwhile we received a call from a client in Texas who sounded quite shaken and refused to let out any info until we met her there , so I and Henry packed our bags and Arthur too asked if he could come with us, because he had a prayer meeting there , I agreed only on THAT condition though I knew in my mind where this was going …………………
          On the plane as well my mind was at unrest and I was thinking NOW WHAT kind of case will we get !!! On reaching the location , we were greeted by a beautiful mansion the size of a football field!!  , It looked majestic and spellbounding but the welcome we got was not as beautiful!!!, We were greeted by a scream from within the manor as we rushed to aid the person in distress we saw a caretaker fallen flat on the ground as we helped him up and asked him how he fell he said with a panting voice " it………was……..(huff puff ) …….her …….. THE SILENT MAIDEN………… " I with an inqusitive look asked who the silent maiden was to which he said " Oh!!!!!! ……..you must be the paranormal investigators , I guess" . We get a lot of chaps  coming around here but …………………… No Good Event Transpires by their coming , ONLY SHE IS ENRAGED FURTHERMORE !!! , Let's see what MAGIC Y'all can do !!!!!, Henry was pissed off by the behavior of the caretaker but kept mum on my signal. I then asked " who is this maiden ? and what sort of occurrences are you experiencing ? " To which the grumpy caretaker replied " The house that you all are standing is the ' Silent Manor' and was the abode of  Of Mr D'silva who was a gem of a man but his daughter ,Andrea ……………………….. was always ……..like weird, she had no voice , hence the same 'Silent Maiden'!!!! And used to engage in satanic practice's !!!! . I and Henry questioned " what kind of ritual was she partaking in ? " " Uh the uh……….usual kind………the one with all that Pentagram !!! and all ……………..with like a ……………goatish image at it's centre " the caretaker ( Mr Bradley ) said . We then looked around and see if we could 'see' this entity and carried out EVP and EMF sessions and Received………………….. Absolutely Nothing!!!!!, Just then right in front of us a chair in the large living room Moved!!!, I signaled Henry to stay put , so that we could have a behavioral analysis that would help in determining the origin of this entity, but Henry was curious and wanted to see this poltergeist activity in a closer view!!, So he crept closer to the moving chair …………………..All of a sudden that chair rammed head-first straight to Henry !!!!, THIS ENTITY WAS BAITING US OUT , I darted towards Henry to check on him when another chair came straight at me , I barely managed to get my head out of the way , I immediately removed the cross from my neck and showed it to this poltergeist but……………. It seemed unfazed!!!, And CONTINUED throwing stuff at me when all of a sudden The activity stopped!!, I quickly ran towards Henry and manged to get him out. This entity didn't fear………………..GOD!!, WHY WOULD IT THEN FEAR US!!, I thought !!
            I then consulted with Henry in private and explained the situation to him" So we have a 'class A' poltergeist , who is unfazed of God and in broad DAYLIGHT attacks all in it's path. It is reckless , we have got to check out it's attack pattern to learn more of this entity! " I said " This means that ……………..we HAVE TO PURPOSELY GET IN ITS PATH TO LEARN MORE !!", At this Henry remarked " OH Yeah ?, After demons and devil and ……….whatnot let's LEGITIMATELY TRY TO KILL OURSELVES AGAIN EH ? ", I burst out laughing and assured him that we would be okay(Would We?)
      The next day we decided to carry out a thorough GEO-MAG check of the mansion, with a baseline of " 32 " we checked everywhere but didn't get any bizarre readings !! Right in front of us the caretaker Marta was attacked in broad - DAYLIGHT!!!, As we went to her aid , this entity came to have at us again!! This time we tried using the Bible , but…………..it too was thrown in the air like a toothpick!!!, We noticed that the malevolence in the entity had increased three fold !!, We somehow managed to lift Marta up and ran to safety, when Mr Bradley came to us running and said " I knew that you chaps as well won't we able to do no nothin', Y'all surely managed to piss her off " , to which I interrupted and asked " Excuse me!, Her?", To which Mr Bradley said " that after the untimely death of Andrea , this activity started happening at the silent Mansion, Mr D' Silva was so horrendously plauged by That entity , that he took his own life!!!!, I was then puzzled even more then before and on the way to the hotel told Henry " Something doesn't add up !!!!, A gem of a man whose daughter did satanic ritual at that mansion for almost no reason at all and all this leading to a highly significant poltergeist activity!!!!?, What is going on here ? "                  The next day again we went but this time we went to Mr Bradley first and asked him how Mr D'SILVA took his own life and where , " what does y'all wanna know that for ? ", Mr Bradley said in an offensive tone to which Henry retaliated by saying " Let us do our job, Just Tell us for cripes sake !!", Whatever!!, He took his life in this bedroom by hanging himself from the ceiling ", he said . I wished him good day and told Henry that violent death adds up to residual energy so ………………lets ask MR D'SILVA HIMSELF !!!! . We prepped up our gear and proceeded to Mr D'silva 's bed and placed our EMF , and Mel meters there and also placed motion detector's and I conducted a EVP session for almost 45 minutes i didn't receive any responses then the motion detector's were going off all over the place!!!, Then finally a voice came, that of a female and she said " I……..d……..I.……..d…….n…
….t…….d…….o………i………..t………..s………h…….e………m……..a………..d………….e………m……….e" , then the voice that followed was a very high pitched static which would easily deafen any listener, " Andrea is that you who made you do what is Mr D'silva there with you ? " Then a chair was flung at us in the room again!!!, ( WAS IT THIS ENTITY POSING TO BE ANDREA OR IS THERE ANOTHER SINISTER PLOT INVOLVED ) Then like the ground beneath our feet literally shook, it was like a class 1 earthquake!!!, We quickly slept on the ground with our hands over our heads , it ended after a good 5 minutes , what had angered the spirit so much that it did this?
          As we packed our gear and proceeded out we saw something that completely changed our perspective on poltergeist hauntings!!!!!!, Marta the caretaker lied on the floor……………..DEAD!!!!!, Because of a knife that fell on her and stabbed her jagular!!!!, We were shocked looking at that immediately the ambulance an and the coroner were called as her body was being taken out  , Marta's lifeless body!!gave us a sign that helped us figure out this Nightmare !!, Her hand came out the body bag and pointed towards a locked room in Mr D'silva's bedroom!!, We thought at first that it must be some sorta ideomoter effect and with anger and hatred left the silent Mansion. 
          Now the water had reached our heads so I called in Roma and Steve from the PDT and asked them to monitor these grounds and record all suspicious supernatural occurrences  this brat that was responsible for terrorising these innocent people and responsible for Marta's death was going DOWN !!, I'LL PERSONALLY DELIVER ITS HEAD TO SATAN HIMSELF IF I HAVE TO!!!, I thought. I and Henry then went into Mr D'silva's room and as we checking the magnetic field there we came across something that was just ODD , the baseline reading in the bedroom was '23' but that at the mirror was '43' "but Mirrors aren't Magnetic !!! " Henry said I nooded in affirmation and we both started to carefully inspect it as we blew on the mirror , all parts except one got fogged up meaning there was a column of air current behind the mirror !!, As we touched it we heard a 'click' and the mirror opened!!!!, IT WAS ACTUALLY A SECRET ROOM!!, As we proceeded down the stairs of the dark and sinister room ,we were awaited by a rude shock it was……………it…………..was………….A DUNGEON!!!, SKELETONS WITH SHACKELS WERE TIED TO THE WALL, PLATES WITH AGE OLD ROTTEN FOOD ON THE FLOOR AND AT ITS CENTER WAS A ................PENTAGRAM ( same as that the faint one we saw in the hall ) !!!!, MADE OF BLOOD!!!, WE WERE SHOCKED TO SEE WHAT MAN WAS CAPABLE OF!!!, THIS IN THE ' GEM' OF A MAN'S ROOM!!! COULD WE BE LOOKING AT MULTIPLE TORTURE AND HOMICIDE!!! MR D'SILVA WAS NOT HE SEEMED!!!!!! ( Because a girl was definitely not capable of this atrocity!!, WAS ANDREA ONE OF THE VICTIMS HERE ? ). I immediately called Steve and Roma down and Roma sensed the presence of 5 entity's there one of that of 3 of three girls and other of Andrea and the third was unknown suddenly the same earthquake which occurred before struck again but this time even more violently!!, This entity that finally manifested in front of our eyes !!! It had black wings Blood red eyes and black body looking at it we were all shocked as we tried to run the door to the mirror when it was closed shut !!!, This entity then came towards us , I removed some holy water and spalshed it on it but!!!!!, It didn't budge Roma then using her psychic abilities tried to stop this 'thing' in it's tracks but instead it laughed and continued forward then suddenly it looked at a tiny spider in the wall and screamed and disappeared , we were all in a state of shock!!, I gathered the team and broke the mirror and escaped out !!!, IT WAS NOW CLEAR WHAT THIS ENTITY WAS!!!!! I hid this fact from the caretakers so as to not arouse further confusion and tension
            I held an emergency meeting with my team at our hotel , we all were pretty shaken up by the events at the 'Silent Manor', I started on a very serious note " Guys ! WE ARE UP AGAINST AN ENTITY WE CANNOT SEE!, WHO ISN'T AFRAID OF GOD AND CAN EVEN TAKE HOLY WATER AND STILL STAND!!!, SOMETHING THAT CAN EVEN TEAR THE BIBLE , SOMETHING CONJURED ON BASIS OF A DEMONIC RITUAL , WHICH I THINK WAS CONDUCTED BY MR D'SILVA IN THE BASEMENT AND THE SKELETONS WERE THE ………………..HUMAN SACRIFICE!!!!, AND THE SPIRIT OF ANDREA IS NOW POSSESSED BY ' THIS' , THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS CASE OF 'SPIRIT POSSESSION' ( THE ANOMALIC PHENOMENON WHEN A SPIRIT IS POSSESSED BY ANOTHER SPIRIT!! )( It is generally shown by a face of a goat or stag in front of the Pentagram), I continued " BY THE LIKES OF THIS ENTITY , I THINK IT HAS THE TRAITS BELONGING TO…………………" and was cut off by a voice in the back saying " TSUJI-URA , the POSSESSION demon " , the voice was that of Arthur who came from the back with his books in his hand. We all turned to him and I asked " TSUJI-URA ?, But that was an urban Legend !!, It was a scare tactic developed by the pagans to scare them  , I think the entity is 'TANKA' which Is it's other half…………………ARTHUR I TOLD NOT TO BE INVOLVED RIGHT!!!" To which he in a defensive tone said " The Tanaka is an entity which is afraid of CAT'S because they are thought to be the guardian's of the underworld!, But SPIDER'S !! Are those which weaken the possessing SPIRIT!!!, Plus only TSUJI-URA is the only entity afraid of spiders so………YEAH! ", I immediately questioned " Okay fine point made, HOW ON EARTH DID YOU KNOW THAT !!!!, WHO TOLD YOU ? ABOUT OUR INVESTIGATION? " " OH !!!, Monsieur Bradley is a friend!!! Plus I have the gift of vision ………REMEMBER!!" Arthur said and immediately changing the topic said " I know the only way to conjure up a Tanaka so …………YOU NEED MY HELP , SO PLEASE LET ME HELP YOU ! " My suspicion over Mr Bradley increased by leaps and bounds!!!, How was this man getting this information from , something only few people were privy to!!! , I asked Henry in a commanding voice " the concept of Tanaka and TSUJI-URA are not allowed to be taught!!!, Because of man's curiosity and vanity , HOW ON HELL DID YOU KNOW OF THIS? " To which Arthur being the smartass he is said " The same way you did……………lets argue later when this matter is put to rest " He gave me a chekky grin , I was gonna admonish him but , we didn't have time , this entity was becoming more and more unpridectable " Okay…………smartass lead the way tell us about this ritual and TSUJI-URA then " I told Arthur and he started  " okay, these entity's TSUJI-URA and TANAKA are a couple so we have to summon the other so that the possessing spirit let's go of it's 'spirit' host and follows the other, then when they are both together we can……… " WOAH WOAH !!!, YOU WANNA WHAT!!,YOU WANT US TO DO A D….E……M…O….N…..I…..C RITUAL TO LURE THIS TANAKA OR WHATEVER WE RID PEOPLE OF DEMONS NOT CONJURE THEM UP!! , ARE YOU COMPLETELY INSANE!!!!, ISNT ONE ALREADY ENOUGH !!, THE BIBLE , HOLY WATER REMAINS INEFFECTIVE ON ONE , WHAT HEAVENS WILL BEFALL IF SUCH TWO ARE CONJURED!! " Henry completely losing it shouted , " CALM DOWN BRO, THIS IS THE THING, WHEN THESE ENTITY'S ARE TOGETHER, THEIR POWER DECREASES !!!HENCE ALLOWING US TO DESCEND THEM BACK TO HELL BY THE MIRROR RITUAL!! " Arthur responded , Roma then wisely interwened and told " The kid speaks the truth!!, This is the ONLY way!!!!, BUT THIS INVOLVES GREAT RISK THAT WE OURSELVES MIGHT GET POSSESSED!! " I knew the risked involved and asked all those who didn't wanna partake to leave , none from my faithful and loyal team backed down. I then told Arthur sternly " This is ONLY A ONE TIMER, YOU GOT THAT!! AFTER THE CONJURING HAS OCCURED , YOU WILL LEAVE!, " to which from Arthur I received a half-hearted 'yes'. We then were ready to face this entity and hoped that nothing would go wrong!!!!, ( THE MISERABLE HAVE NOTHING BUT HOPE ) 
   The next day we went with a fresh mindset and it was our turn to manipulate this entity  I placed motion detector's in all rooms , we first made everyone in the mansion leave I  then went to the bedroom and opened the secret door behind the mirror, Henry then asked me " What other insane plan are you gonna come up with now, huh!, " , Steve then walked in with a small box and opening it put a smile on everyone's faces!!, There were….………..CATS!!, I then instructed him to place a cat in each room except the room with the secret door , ( TANAKA WAS AFRAID OF CATS ,HENCE WOULD NEVER EVEN THINK!!! OF BEING IN THE SAME ROOM WITH THEM !, HENCE WHILE TRYING TO EVADE THEM WOULD INDIRECTLY REACH TSUJI-URA ) , At 3:00 am ( The Devil's hour ) In the Main hall I called in Arthur and asked him to summon Tanaka and if the worst must occur…………To just RUN!!, Arthur then held a comb between his intertwined fingers and spoke the chant '  Maive callē  Tanaka San , dirode te hibroyer TSUJI-URA ' ( I call to tanka San the bride of TSUJI-URA) then all the candles in the room went off!…………in complete silence we would hear the humming of a women , Arthur told all of us to close our eyes and NO MATTER WHAT NOT TO OPEN THEM !!!!!…………….this entity gently walked right past us and we could feel a cold breeze hit our sweaty faces!, Then we heard a deafening scream with the meow of a cat and motion detector ( in speak more ) going bezerk !!! , I spoke to my teammates softly " 'The hall'  be ready guys" , then another one in the bathroom , then the attic …….henry said " Oh no , the entity is heading in the wrong direction!! " From the attic …………..IT WILL ESCAPE OUT , THERE IS NO CAT THERE  !! " , Before I could react, Arthur took a stone and threw in the direction of the bedroom !,"  NO ARTHUR GET YOUR REAR BACK HERE!! " I muttered softly but he completely froze there !! ,then as per the feed from the motion detector's the entity came straight down from the attic and headed right at ……….. Arthur , This entity then  made a laughing sound,  which shook us to our very core!!. Steve then out of curiosity opened his eyes to just peek and immediately was…………………..on the floor ……………..……… hallucinating !! We dared not open our eyes , though we were dead scared hearing Steve hallucinating on the floor and praying for ourselves , me for Arthur and Steve !!, Then this entity left the main hall and headed for the bedroom !! I said "come guys this is our chance", we all sleathly moved to the bedroom , I checked on Arthur and was happy to see him okay ( Just a little shaken) and told Roma to be with Steve and try and help him , finally we heard this entity exclaim with joy " mē hibroyer , mē tamade fouger tui " ,( meaning ' My husband , I've finally found you ').
                 We then heard the same voice of the help that we heard captured on the EVP !!!…………..IT WAS ANDREA'S !!, then there was a faint banging sound in the bedroom then we all immediately took a big mirror there and Arthur started receiving the Anti-conjuring chant ' Tanaka at TSUJI-URA mē semedent toì damerus hellant noiver poüs retourent' ( I banish Tanaka and TSUJI-URA to the depths of hell never to return ) then we all held the mirror upright with our eyes closed and amidst some chairs being thrown!, Scratching marks on us all !, And deep growls and wails the entity's then entered the mirror and the mirror became pitch black !!!, We then broke the mirror in 18 pieces and poured the entire Bottle of holy water on it !!!.
                The atmosphere around became quiet calm and it was already 6:00 am I and my team mates heaved a sigh of relief !!, We all bathed in the rising sun which rose and fell gently on our faces like the blessings from the Almighty !!, We were then greeted by a 'not at all' grumpy Mr Bradley who gleefully came and shook our hands and thanked us profusely for helping him!!, We were then meet by a very emotional Roma who with tears I our eyes came running with a better looking Steve and urged us to come immediately to the hall!!, As we went there we were all in tears at the energy and the emotion there!!! ………………..There stood a girl in tattered clothes who looked at and told us her lips movement ' Thank you ' with here were 3 more girls !!! All WHO WERE …………………NoW happy !!, Tears came in my eyes as I realized that……………The monster in sheep's clothing !!! …………….Mr D'silva tortured his …….OWN DAUGHTER!!!……….AND 3 OTHER INNOCENT GIRLS!!, MR BRADLEY WAS Most affected by this emotional encounter ………. Who dropped down on his knees and apologized to calling Andrea a freak and thinking it was her doing those rituals. It was like we were all taken by a swift flowing current into a sea of emotion!! Then these entity's ascended as white orbs in the sky …………….. leaving us with mixed emotion's of hatred towards THE COWARD THAT DID THIS !,  Sorrow for the fate of these young girls who had their whole live's ahead of them ! And happiness for rescuing them !!, As we wished luck to Mr Bradley who confessed to us that he was secretly worried of our well-being and hence was spying on us and told everything to Arthur , I put my hand around Arthur and thanked him for his help and reminded him that didn't mean that HE was a part of the PDT!! To which he said in a checky tone " Oh! We'll see about that ! " We all drove of towards the airport after an eventful day , thinking what things was humanity capable off!!……………………. It was the end of another day, another journey, but not of our quest! Mr Bradley came to see us off and had a smile on a face !, This is proof………..that we succeeded!!. 
  
                                  The End
