Who's at the top of the stairs?

We were awakened by our dog a few nights ago.  We were asleep in our upstairs bedroom. He began growling at the door which faced the landing at the top of the stairs.

A couple from north Portland called and said, "We were awakened by our dog a few nights ago.  We were asleep in our upstairs bedroom. He began growling at the door which faced the landing at the top of the stairs."  The wife went on to say that since that night the dog refused to sleep in their room and now slept at the top of the stairs and was restless.  They hadn't been sleeping well either.


The house was a lovely 1910 bungalow that they had completely remodeled in a reverential and authentic style.  Both of them have home-based businesses and needed to feel secure both for their life at home and livelihoods.  They had been living in the home for two years and felt comfortable there until now.  We talked about the history of the home, they were only the third owner, and as far as they knew there had been no traumatic events or deaths in the home's history.  The wife, B., remarked that she had, however, often felt as if if someone was behind her at the top of the stairs.  Our team walked through the house and observed several possible problem areas in the house and one outside where a large tree had been removed years before. We and the owners performed a ceremony at the the tree's site honoring the tree and thanking it for its energy.  This ameliorated the fearful and angry energy at this source.


The husband, J., remarked that during the remodel he had found a strange small, enclosed space under the basement stairs which he had dismantled.  In the space, behind a wall he found a glass bottle with a red ribbon around the neck.  He disposed of this, but it did not change the presence upstairs..


Our efforts concentrated on the landing at the top of the stairs to the bedrooms.  There was definitely something/someone there.  It was a woman and we communicated with her spirit and helped her to move on.  We thought we had completed our mission and the clients said that they felt a huge improvement.


Two days later, we heard from them again.  Trouble at the top of the stairs!  We returned.  We guarantee our work and sometimes need to return to the house several times. Often there are many layers to the energies disturbing a home.  Communing again at the top of the stairs, we communicated again with a woman's spirit.  Perhaps the same one or another and found that she had died at the top of the stairs in the midst of her household chores.  She was full of trepidation as she had not completed her work and feared her husband's reprimand. We assisted her crossing over.  Larry got a very strong voice saying, "Sarah." There was a large chest on the landing and Sharon felt that there was something significant about it.  She used a sound method to "clear" the energy from the chest, but still felt something amiss.  When we recounted the events, B. said that the chest had been in the family and was given to them by her sister...Sarah!


We heard fro them two days later, when, still feeling disturbing energies, they removed the chest and took it out to the garage.  Finally the house was at peace.
