FOR OUR DISCERNMENT: IN UPSTATE NEW YORK IS 'PSYCHIC HIGHWAY' WITH ASTONISHING HISTORY
Numerous saints had experiences whereby they encountered unsettled souls -- spirits -- who seemed earthbound and in need of prayer (and sometimes, if purgatorial, sacrifice). Saint Padre Pio said he saw more spirits than he did actual flesh-and-blood humans. It is also said that spirits sometimes collect in particular areas -- whether unsettled souls or, unfortunately, the demonic.
Every area has its spiritual dimension. A couple of weeks ago we spoke of Niagara Falls [see article] and how it seems like a battlefield -- and magnet -- for forces good and bad. Toxic dumps and hydroelectricity compete with the great natural beauty, along with a major shrine, now falling on hard times, dedicated to Our Lady of Fatima.
Some say they have seen the Face of the Lord in the mist that rises at the base of the famous cataracts; on the dark side, others cite numerous suicides.
A battle! What afflicts your area? Have you spread blessed salt? Do you bless your own property with Holy Water?

It is one that relates to the Book of Daniel (and the struggle of an angel with the "prince of Persia," which was a demonic "stronghold" or principality). Note too the demonized men who hung out amid the tombs (Matthew 8:28) of Gadarenes. Goodness adheres to goodness (we visit the tombs of saints). Badness collect around badness.
When there is sin and especially violence, witchcraft, New Age, or anything occult, spirits may gather.
Upstate New York provides some interesting examples.
