Oy. I’m not even sure where to begin with this one. A family acquires a dog. Some bad things happen to the family (bed bugs, a car accident, and their daughter gets in trouble at school, among other things) and so they quite naturally conclude that it’s all the dog’s fault because the dog is possessed by a demon. I mean, duh.
But don’t worry! The family breathes a collective sigh of relief when the dog dies after (“accidentally”) falling down some stairs just four months after being brought home. Now the matriarch has written a book and is selling pendants for pets and people to ward away evil spirits to the tune of $200.
She registers as an 8.6 on my 10 point scale for Crazy Wackadoos. This is what happens when people don’t want to admit fault for anything, or don’t want to admit that sometimes… life just sucks. It’s easier to blame it on being paranormal, since that is a) completely out of your control, and b) kind of hip nowadays.
A New York woman claims her home got more than it agreed to when they brought an adopted toy poodle into their home that was demon possessed.
Olga Horvat, a certified Lumia Science Color Therapist and writer of a book Paranormal Pooch writes that her pure-bred dog Princess brought with her a string of bad luck on her home and family.
‘We had her for four months — May through September in 2006 — and she didn’t want to eat, sleep and she couldn’t be trained to learn simple commands,’ Mrs Horvat told the Huffington Post’s Weird News.
‘She was happy, but something was manipulating her,’ Mrs Horvat added.
Detailing her efforts to help both her family and her small, fluffy white dog, she asserts in her book, according to the Post’s read, it was not her dog’s fault so they all needed to find help.
A massive $7,000 bedbug infestation seemed just the start of her family’s troubles when they faced eviction over the pests and only legal fees could save them.
Her husband next found himself in a serious car accident, nearly lost his job and then fell to a sudden and rare illness almost losing his life, according to her website, RoyalDogsGallery.com.
The odds seemed stacked against them ever since Princess entered their household, judging by their timeline, and their woes appeared to be only growing worse.
By the time her daughter was nearly expelled from her third-grade classroom for inappropriately touching the arm of a Muslim friend with a glove – according to Mrs Horvat because a voice in her daughter’s head directed her to – her family’s trauma was listless.
Perhaps fortunately for Mrs Horvat’s family however, though unfortunate for her dog, Princess died four months after they obtained the poodle.
According to Mrs Horvat to the Post, she fell down the stairs at the home of a friend, dying.
Yet the amount of trauma that entered their family’s life in that short amount of time, was enough to write a book which received a written introduction by Joshua P. Warren, author of Pet Ghosts.
