Professional Medium Lynne Olson reviews Gate to Hell episode.
Houska Castle
I hate to disappoint those who are fascinated by the “Gates To Hell” hoopla but Houska Castle simply isn’t it. Is it haunted, definitely. Are there demons? Well, I only saw one minor, common type of imp I could just as easily (and have) seen in a suburban home, let alone a Czech medieval castle. It was attracted by ancient blood and residues of terrible pain.
Is there a vortex… sort of. I asked my guides what was going on, and they told me Houska Castle sits on a snarled ley line. I honestly didn’t know what a ley line was, so I looked it up on Wikipedia and there seem to be two schools of thought. One school of thought takes me back to high school geometry where the shortest distance between two points is a line. Animals, ancient and modern humans developed paths for foraging, hunting, farming, trade… etc… The shortest path was usually taken and connected one area of activity to another.
The second school of thought is that ley lines have some sort of electrical or magnetic energy associated with them that ties into paranormal and UFO phenomenon. I am voting for the second theory with magnetic energy the likely active force involved.
On Ghost Hunters Jason and Grant are constantly reminding us that electromagnetic fields make humans feel jittery, even paranoid on a regular basis. I was told by my guides that something of the sort is part of the natural geography in the area Houska Castle resides. According to the episode walk through this particular spot has long been making people uncomfortable.
That being said, this sense of unease has lead to some brutal bloodshed, torture and occult experimentation over the centuries. The oldest impression of the site I got was before Houska Castle was built, back to ancient times. Some sort of horrific, bloody battle was fought there. Not unlike many Civil War battlefields, the ground was literally soaked with blood at the time. I saw ancient bloodshed in mass quantities adding to the magnetic ley line disruption of the site.
Fast forward to the 13th century when Europe was firmly entrenched in the rule of the Catholic Church and Houska Castle was built. Tales of demons and the intriguing concept of building a box within a box to contain evil spirits gave an explanation for the unease and the strange things that went on there. (By the way, stone walls will not keep evil nor holy energy contained.)
Dark entities are usually attracted to unsettled graves, lots of blood lost in battle or murder and the negative imprints of evil deeds that have taken place, especially if they happen to be concentrated in a particular geographic area. I cannot count how many murder victims graves my guides have resolved and sealed after the unhappy occupants have moved into the light of God. Houska Castle hasn’t been energetically cleaned out in centuries, yet all I got was some depraved monks, a few cynical Nazi ghosts and a single low level imp. (more…)
