Karasjok health center in northern Norway has asked the local minister to help drive out evil spirits from a care residence in the town. The minister has accepted the assignment, newspaper VG reports.
The elderly resident says his home is haunted, as did the previous occupant of the residence. The night watchmen at the Karasjok health center also report that they feel uneasy in the apartment, where doors slam and objects fall off shelves.
The center has now asked minister Arild Hellesøy to bless the room in the hope of establishing calm, and he met with officials on Thursday to discuss how this could be done.
The Sami television program Oddasat broadcast a report on the troubles in Karasjok, but local head of social services Svein O. Pedersen said that he was only aware of the ghost story in the form of rumors.
Dem dere Scandies are up to sumpin! Wonder of dis pastor is Lut'rin, yeah, hey?
ROFLMAO
LoL...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but blessing a dwelling does not equal an excorcism.
We used to get our house blessed about once a year when I was a kid. It was basically "protection money" for the church.
