Chapter 1 : S p i r i t s
I felt my warm blanket being pulled off me and, suddenly, a hurtful slap on my behind. It startled me awake. I was a terrified 6-year-old. It was All Saint’s Eve in a small village town in Italy. Everyone invited the spirits of their dead relatives to visit them. Glasses of wine and plates of food were left for visiting spirits. My small bed was placed in the dining room where my family members thought the spirits would enter. They even left the front door open for them, as this was the custom. I was afraid, but told no one. I remained very still, but my heart was racing and the seemingly large, cold hand that struck me with only one blow never returned.
It was not a dream and it was not imagined. To this day, I have told only a few people. They wanted to comfort me, so they made excuses. They would say, “It was a prank” or “Maybe it was a joke by your siblings.” One person even said, “You may have had a very active imagination then.” After all, it was Halloween night. As a young child remembers things in their past, some things are unforgettable. This was one of those incidents. Why would I repeat anything that may have been mocked or

misconstrued by the people who loved me? I never mentioned it again … until now. It was a spirit.
My grandfather used to tell me ghost stories when I was a little girl. Story telling was the only entertainment there was in that small village in southern Italy. No television. No radio. And hardly any books to read to keep our active minds occupied.
At the end of the day, we would gather around the brasciere, a large container made from brass or copper, filled with coal for warmth and heat during cold winter months. It was the only heater, except for our rustic fireplace. We would gather around the brasciere and listen to the stories being told. Some were folklore and others were thought to be real. Very scary for a young imagination to absorb. My grandfather, Vincenzo, was the best at telling spooky stories. Every sound was amplified. He became animated. At the end of the story it was hard to fall asleep.
Our house was a large two-story. It was built by my grandparents, Mamma’s mother and father. They lived downstairs. This is where I slept, because it was too crowded on the second floor. We were a large family of seven. I actually enjoyed having the entire dining room to myself and I didn’t have to share a bed with any of my sisters. I felt like a princess. My grandparents gave me lots of attention. Can’t say I didn’t like it.
Author Comment:
Since writing this book, I've learned a lot more about the people in my life. Many people who I know, and some who I've known for a long time, have confessed to me their experiences of seeing ghosts and spirits. It took courage on their parts to actually come out with it. Sometimes they did not even know what they were seeing. They were not free to tell anyone for a number of reasons and so kept it to themselves. Most of the case studies in my book had the same element attached to it. Clients and friends have told me that they would not dare say anything to anyone for fear that they would think them to be crazy or insane. After telling me their stories, they felt so much more peaceful. The purpose for writing this book is two-fold: First, to allow people to express themselves and their experiences without fear of embarrassment, chastisement or humiliation or worst yet, to be told that they are crazy. Knowing that others have had similar experiences can allow them to express it, and know that their experience is real and not just their imagination playing tricks on them. Second, once the fear is gone, those experiencing a haunting can know what to do to put their mind at ease and find serenity in their homes and in their lives. They can change their environment and feel better in a peaceful place. They can free themselves to create and design a better, more fulfilling life. "Confessions of a Feng Shui Ghost-Bustser" is an easy guide to understanding why spirits, souls and supernatural forces exist, and how to release them -- and the fear. Some very clear and proven methods of Feng Shui, provides solutions, what to look for and remedies to de-clutter your environment from entities, spirits and ghosts. Keeping a secret such as interacting with a spirit or entity can haunt you and create a feeling of dis-ease with yourself and your environments. Some of us are more sensitive to the spirit world, see entities and oftentimes sense them around us. The ability to talk about it and clear the air through many different methods as defined and expressed in my book, can free us from the fear and allow us to discuss a subject that has been taboo for many years. "The more we know and understand about what we fear, the easier it is to accept a solution" Anna Maria Prezio Certified Feng Shui Consultant www.prezio.com
