An 8th grader reads an incantation from a book about witchcraft while trying to impress his classmates. What happens next haunts the man to this day. Did he submit himself to Satan?
I received the following account:
"Hi, Lon. When I was in 8th grade, I was a pretty popular kid, well-liked, and I liked it that way. Before class started, a fellow student brought in a book on witchcraft. He said that there was a page with an incantation and if you say it three times, the devil will appear. Nobody would read it because they were scared, and to be honest, so was I, but I wanted to stay popular so I said I would read it.
The gist of it was (as far as I can recall) a prayer to Satan, saying that he was the one true God and that I give my soul to him, etc. On the third time through reading it, I physically felt something pass through my body. It was like my breath was taken away for a split second. I got those cold chills, you know the ones I'm talking about, and I felt faint.
I stopped mid-sentence and the kids freaked out. They said they saw something happen to me. My hair blew like a fan was on but there wasn't. They said that I was still for like two minutes not talking or responding to them. When it was over, I opened my eyes to see the kids in my class with wide eyes and their jaws open asking me if I was okay. I closed the book and told them what I felt, and they said they believed me because of how I was acting.
I have never been one for believing in the supernatural, but when I feel myself starting to doubt, I remember back to that day when I was a stupid 8th grader who may have inadvertently sold my soul to Satan for a little popularity. I am Catholic and every time I go to confession, I ask for forgiveness from that, and I try to be a good man, hoping that when my time comes, I don't find myself on the wrong side of the fence. I have thought that maybe it wasn't Satan that passed through me, but rather an angel, protecting me and also scaring me straight by passing through me, in a way saying "Uh-uh-uhhhh, don't do that!" Either way, the story is true, and I will always carry that question with me - Did I submit myself to Satan when I was in 8th grade?"
