After a quick tour of the house, Rod was able to find the green, glowing outlines of two children, one boy and one girl. I could sense that these two were searching for a way to the light. They knew that I was there to help. With the house empty the next day, Rod performed his favorite ritual. In order to create a bridge to the other world, he burned dried sage leaves and pushed the smoke toward the wall, starting from the east and working his way around the house.
Personal preference is a factor in deciding which procedure to use.
Many of Rod's friends who practice Shamanism say a prayer while burning the sage, but Rod did not. He used deep meditation, which enabled him to actually see the bridge toward the light. Within minutes of the process, a group of what seemed to be family members welcomed the children to cross the bridge. Since that day, neither Miller nor Finne has seen evidence of the ghosts. Without even going to the house, Jackson said he knew that there was a very protective spirit involved and that the chances of return are slim.
