Question:
How can one distinguish if the presence is a fallen angel or a ghost (dead person)?
God’s answer:
Figure 1: The
hand on the arm
(Evil Spirits)
Figure 2: The
hand at the back
of the nape
(Restless soul)
They give you the creeps.
Your hair will stand on end.
Meaning:
Evil spirits will give you goose bumps on your arm. Restless souls will send shivers up your spine/make the hair at the back of your neck stand.
The feeling of fear is important. You can get goose bumps but not necessarily because there’s a presence. So the accompanying feeling or sensation of “getting the creeps” is a significant sign.
God also remarks on the nature of the presence. Fallen angels are around us and there are those souls that visit. Here God is referring to those fallen angels and souls that are more on the extreme side- the evil spirits when it comes to fallen angels and for the dead, they are the restless souls (those who haunt).
