The house in Bridgeview, Illinois was deserted except for a woman. To author and crime scene investigator Deborah LeBlanc, it seemed as if that personality was surrounded by an aura of evil. They ascended to the attic together. Deborah felt a paternal presence stroke her cheek three times. Then she heard an unseen voice call out an expletive as the woman's ponytail was yanked back -- as if someone had grabbed and pulled it. The spirits seemed to agree that all was not okay with Deborah's companion who, as it turned out, practiced black magic.
