Mary was a six year old ghost with a living friend. She'd been dead for 100 years.

I often get called to work with Paranormal groups especially in the event of children being involved, haunted and the home needing to be cleared.
On this particular occasion, I was told that an energy in the residence was directing one of the children in the family to do things when the activity occurred.
The paranormal team we'll call Bright Mountain, conducted a pre-investigation and captured some significant EVP recordings. They held a meeting with the family to gather more information about the welfare of the children and then I was brought in.
During my initial walk through of the residence, I picked up on two distinct and separate energies: a twenty something, deaf man in the attic sitting, rocking next to the window
and little girl about six years old we'll call Mary.
Mary was a huge, very lively (for lack of a better term) presence who dwelled in the youngest daughter's bedroom.
Never have I ever experienced my arms being tugged and pulled the way Mary begged me to play with her when I entered the room where majority of the activity was reported taking place at night.
I sat on the bed and communicated with her that we needed to talk. I closed my eyes to see her better.
A cyclone swirled above my head, a portal. Then I was shown me some interesting information in regards to the living family members in the house. Mary made it clear that the youngest daughter was her 'friend' and she wouldn't dare hurt her.
Fast forward to the cleansing.
Darron from Bright Mountain Paranormal and I drove to the residence. I asked the mother of the house to assist me by sprinkling blessed sea salt over the windows, doorways and perimeter while in prayer.
After smudging, I asked both parents to remain in the living room and pray for Mary and her brother (as Mary described to me in our previous meeting). I needed them to pray for the souls to leave with grace and ease when I asked.
I set up in the youngest daughters room. Darron recorded for research purposes.
Mary once again was eager to play. She told me she liked my dress. I told her that I was there to let her know that her Mommy missed her and that in a few minutes she would be there for her to go "home".
Mary wasn't exactly excited. She was scared. She started to cry. She wanted to stay and said she would miss her friend. I told her she could come back to play but just not as often because where she was going she would have lots more friends.
I locked in on the light, and opened the portal. The door quickly opened. I saw Mary grab on to Darron who was sitting next to me. I asked him if he felt anything.
"like little cold fingers grabbing on my hands"
"Darron tell her it's ok to go. She's scared."
Mary's mother, grandmother and a golden retriever came through the portal of light for her and then a male figure. Mary was still reluctant. Her mother became more clear as she came closer to us. She picked up Mary who I don't think recognized her.
I immediately began to cry.
"Darron how are you feeling?" I quickly asked.
"She's gone! I could feel her fingers leave my hand."
"Her mother just picked her up. They're walking together toward the light.
The boy is here. He is pointing at you. He's following the dog through the portal now.
They are gone."

Darron was in shock over the events that took place.
I needed a tissue.
I couldn't imagine being separated from my child in life or death for that long. When I say that long.
We took a walk behind the residence to a small cemetery which the girls were to have said played a few times. All of the gravestones were from the 1800's. Mary's gravestone was one of the first we stumbled upon. I took a picture for our files.
I met with the entire family and told them that the activity would be no more. I instructed the girls on what to do should they ever encounter an energy that went bump in the night again.
The ride home Darron & I shared thoughts on our first cleansing experience together. He couldn't believe what'd happened. I couldn't believe it happened so fast!
This is the work that I am most proud of.
This is the juicy stuff that I feel is my obligation with my 'gift'.
There is a great deal of energy that gets stuck on this plane for whatever reason. There are so many reasons! But most importantly, I'm quite passionate about those souls going 'home' or simply assisting them in crossing them to a more appropriate plane so that they can begin their life after death.
All names have been changed in privacy of those involved.
