Josslyn walked out of the den and stopped in mid-stride. Her eyes focused on the spot above the door between the den and the kitchen.
The wooden cross, which she had replaced, had been turned upside down. It was as if the demon had read her mind and played games with her.
Wonder if the other crosses are upside down? Josslyn thought. She checked the kitchen, living room, dining room, and bedroom, and righted all the crosses that had been replaced. I’m so over it. This crap ends now!
Josslyn came back downstairs and noticed Caden and Nathan moving the oversized couch while Trina pushed the coffee table.
“Are you rearranging the furniture?” she signed to Nathan.
“Putting the couch back in its proper place,” he signed. “It was turned around the other way with its back facing the TV.”
“Yeah,” Trina signed and then pushed the coffee table to its rightful place before the couch. “The coffee table was on this side of the room, the loveseat was on the other side of the room, and the sitting chairs were right below the big-screen TV.”
“Oh, nice going,” Josslyn signed to the spirit. On her way to the kitchen, Josslyn glanced into the dining room and saw that all the chairs were stacked pyramid-style, on the top of the table. Moments earlier, the chairs had been in their rightful places.
I’ve seen that sort of thing before, in movies and on some paranormal reality shows on TV, she thought. She shook her head in disgust then went into the kitchen.
All the cupboards, cabinet doors, and drawers were opened. Four kitchen chairs were on the table with the seats on the table and the legs sticking up.
Next, she walked through the den to the laundry room. It displeased and perturbed her to see the stacked washer-dryer pulled away from one wall and placed in the center of the room with the wires and hoses detached but undamaged from the wall.
Afterward, she went back to the living room. “Nothing surprises me anymore,” she signed to Nathan. “We’re contacting a paranormal organization to find out exactly what’s going on and see about getting rid of this spirit. By the way, I found that all the crosses had been turned upside down.”
“It’s almost as if the demon is mocking us,” Nathan signed.
“The demon is mocking us and mocking Christ, too. I’m ready to go online and look up listings for paranormal organizations.”
