Newman’s investigation of the Martin house is unlike any other.,
and murder. When the evidence becomes overwhelming,
When author Rich Newman first arrives at the battered doublewide trailer deep in the Mississippi Delta,
it’s clear that this is no ordinary haunting. Called from Memphis to assist a local ghost hunting team,
long-buried memories from Newman’s own past come back to haunt him—memories he’d rather forget. Collecting physical evidence,
researching the violent history of the property,
Newman’s investigation of the Martin house has become his most terrifying and mysterious case. What starts out as a malicious assault manifesting as deep rumbling sounds quickly spirals into a story of obsession,
and sorting through the spiritual implications of demons

chant the following as you make your rounds:
Harmony 85
Magic flame burn away the ill
clean this space; remove the gloom,
With joy and peace, I am filled
And hereby now charge this room!
You can do this in each room of your home or in just
one or two rooms as needed. It is somewhat of a cleans-
ing, but also adds the element of charging the room with
harmony and peace.
Powders
You can use powders to radiate a gentle aura of peace
when either sprinkled around the home, used as a type of
potpourri, or bundled together as a magic charm. Pow-
ders are a very versatile magical product; easy to make,
easy to use, and easy to hide if necessary.
Peace and Harmony Powder
• 1 tablespoon chamomile
• 1 tablespoon grated and dried apple peel
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Grind the apple peel and chamomile together in a
mortar and pestle, then add the cornstarch and stir. Then
charge the powder for peace and relaxed harmony. Bottle
for use.

Harmony Now! Powder
I have read that of all the zodiac signs, the most stub-
born are Aries, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Capricorn. In
my family, we have all these signs thus sometimes a more
potent harmony powder is called for rather than the
gentle Peace and Harmony Powder above. This recipe is
not meant to be manipulative, but is strongly solar in in-
fluence while still maintaining an overall focus of loving intent. Its goal is to remove negativity while replacing it with loving vibrations to encourage harmony and coop-eration, not to forcibly compel anyone to get along.
• 1 tablespoon chamomile
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 1 tablespoon grated orange peel
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
First, grate the orange peel and dry it out in a low
oven (200 degrees) for only a few minutes. Be careful not
to burn it. Allow it to cool. Then, place all ingredients
except cornstarch into a mortar and grind them to pow-
der with the pestle. When the herbs have been powdered,
stir in the cornstarch and charge the mixture for harmony
and peace; in your mind’s eye, see the power of the pow-
der dissolving any negativity and replacing it with gold-
flecked white light wherever it is sprinkled and feel hopeful, relaxed and calm as you charge the blend. It is now

ready to be used as a body powder, ingredient for a charm
bag, or in one of the following spell ideas.
Powder Spells
Peace Potpourri
A good idea to bring peace to a room is to sprinkle either of the powders into a bowl and then place a favorite potpourri over the powder in the bowl. The room will smell
good and radiate peaceful energy. This should be replaced
monthly.
Plants of Harmony
You can add either of the powders (since they aren’t poi-
sonous) to the soil of your houseplants to infuse them and thus, the room they are in with harmonious vibrations. I
wouldn’t use more than a tablespoon of the powder per
plant. When you water the plant, the powder will be ab-
sorbed into the plant and this will infuse the whole plant with its power. The plant will then become like a magic
charm and its aura will radiate enough of the energy to
alter the feel of the room.
Foods
Food alters body chemistry. This is a fact. To anyone that doubts this I would say, “Have three cups of coffee and
some chocolate covered espresso beans then see how you
feel.” As previously stated, the less processed the food is; the better it is for you. Everything that you eat is ab-88 Chapter 5
sorbed and/or used by your body in some way. There are
many people with unknown food allergies and they can
be unfortunate victims of radical mood shifts due to reac-
tions to what they are eating. This of course would have
a negative affect of your sense of peace and harmony. So,
food is a tricky area and it should be approached cau-
tiously when using it for magical reasons. One person’s
delicacy is another’s hospital stay.
Having said that, there are some foods that are
known to induce a
