Dead Birds on the lawn
*Warning. Content may be disturbing to some people.
This Home Clearing story dates back to 2018. It has been put together for my website using excerpts from several very old social media posts combined with conversations I’d had with the client. The story involves a young family of 4, living in a beautiful home in an upscale neighborhood in the city of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The parents are both professionals and - in my opinion - are of sound mind. This is exactly what happened. To this day, it is one of the most intense Home Clearing situations that I’ve ever been a part of.

In November of 2018, I went to Regina, SK, to meet a family who reached out to me for help in ridding their home of a negative presence. The mother initially contacted me with a bizarre story that sounded chaotic and made up. Doors were opening and closing on their own - even after being nailed shut. She’d been finding large, unexplained bruises on her body...dead birds on the lawn. There were a lot of noises and her entire family could “feel” something with them in the house. Her brother who lived in the basement became withdrawn and rarely socialized. That all changed after he moved out. The woman explained that the home was a rental that had a high turn over of tenants…with one family vacating the premises very suddenly in the middle of the night, leaving all of their possessions behind. This woman sounded sincere and at the end of her rope. After reading her message, I told her that I would get back to her soon.
The next morning I awoke to find a large bruise on my upper thigh and a dead bird on my front lawn. I knew that it wasn’t a coincidence. I asked my guide for answers. I got that it was a human spirit in her home. He was male and quite a nasty fellow. I made arrangements to go to the house to do a clearing.
On the morning of the clearing, my client messaged me to tell me that the paranormal activity in her home had spiked during the night. It sounded like things were being thrown around on different levels of the home, her cat started meowing at certain rooms, and her fiancé heard what he claims sounded like someone jumping on the bed when no one else was in the room. My client, who was up nursing a sick child in the night, says it sounded as if an older man with labored, raspy breathing was sitting next to her on the sofa for about an hour. Her message sounded desperate. To me it was like her unwanted houseguest knew that I was coming.
When I arrived at the home, and after a brief introduction, the father and children left. The mother and the grandmother (who used to live in the home) stayed behind along with 2 dogs, a cat, myself and my husband. The cat was clearly seeing things that the rest of us were not. It walked around the house with it’s head and shoulders down low...letting out a continuous cry that told everyone that something was wrong. The large dog was very skittish as well - constantly cowering as if she was going to be hit. Both of the women said that they knew the presence in the house was aware that I was coming. Nothing had felt right in the house all day - the children were out of sorts, the pets were acting up, lights had been going off and on by themselves, electronics had been going haywire, and so on. As we stood in the entranceway of the home, I watched orbs of light whizz across the room while the women shared stories about chilling experiences they’d had in the home. One of the worst things they shared was when one of the children told her mother that a man dressed as a clown stood in the hallway outside of her bedroom. He also appeared as his regular self on other occasions - just standing in the hallway staring at the little girl in her bed. Those stories bothered me. It was clear that the entity was wanting to frighten the child. That child’s fear would feed the entity…by giving it energy. Frightening a child was reason enough for this entity to have to go. On a different night, my client’s brother who lived in the basement heard giggling coming from his bedroom closet at 3am. That young man fell into a depression and didn’t leave the house for an entire year...not even to go into the garage. The day he moved out, he became himself again - going out, spending time with friends, and resuming a normal life. The family had also seen apparitions, shadow people, heard loud banging and knocks. Every one of them had witnessed something that couldn’t be explained. We set my witch bottle on a shelf in the linen closet and did the clearing - going through every room in the house.
When the clearing had ended, we noticed that the energy in the home had changed. The cat - who had been afraid of everything - was happy and purring. It was friendly and allowed me to pet it - something the owner said was unusual. The large dog also had a very noticeable shift in her personality. All of the sudden she was scampering and playful like a pup. She kept trying to climb on me, sit on my lap, lick me and show me a tremendous amount of affection. There was an energy shift in the house that everyone could feel. It just felt lighter, happier, and peaceful. It felt normal. That evening, on my way to my car, I was shown an image of a very large heart - the best message from spirit I could have received.
That night, my client said that she and her fiancé awoke at 3am to one very loud thump that came from the closet where I had placed the witch bottle. Oddly, I too had awoken at 3:12am. I had dreamt that I was standing in the basement of that home. I was facing the closed door to the storage room that had once been nailed shut and I sternly told whatever was inside to leave. That was all I remembered. My client messaged me a few days later to say that her home felt like a completely different space. Even her fiancé said it felt lighter and more peaceful. The paranormal activity completely stopped for months. The family had their home and their lives back. They were happy.
But when the family decided to move - several months later - some paranormal activity did start up again. Nothing awful was happening, but lights were flickering and electronics malfunctioning for no apparent reason. I was told that my witch bottle had been shaking and making noise in the closet where it was being kept. The witch bottle knocked against the wall. It fell over. When my clients opened the closet door to look at it, they claimed that the water inside of my witch bottle was swirling around like a tornado. Three people witnessed it - my client, her fiancé, and his father. I do believe something dark was trapped inside. It wanted out, but was unable to escape. My witch bottle was then placed into the attic - where it likely still rests. The family moved to a new home and purchased another one of my witch bottles for their new location. Interestingly, that client and I have kept in touch over the years. She and her family are happy and living their best life.
All’s well that ends well.
