One padre told me about a young serviceman he ministered to during routine preparations for his wedding. During their discussion, the soldier explained how he felt as if he was being followed around by two ghostly people all the time, almost haunting him. Heavy drinking and smoking helped him deal with the pain and fear.
As the padre explored the story further, he discovered that, as part of his duties, this young man had been involved in the recovery of two bodies, drowned in a suicide pact. Now he felt as if they were still there, living as ghosts in front of him all the time. The padre prayed with him.
A few days later the soldier appeared at the Sunday morning church service, he hung around awkwardly afterwards, waiting to chat to the padre privately to tell him that they had gone! As the padre had prayed for him and he had taken his own step towards Jesus, these ghostly figures stepped away from him, setting him free from their slavery.
