News and Commentary

Summary

The guest recounts a claimed supernatural experience during his deployment cycle in Germany following a mission in Tunisia and earlier events tied to Benghazi.

Background and setting

  • After securing the embassy in Tunisia, the unit returned to Germany to re-equip.
  • They were housed in an older barracks where the guest believes a demon/evil entity was present.

Symptoms of the alleged presence

Over roughly a week of experiencing activity (during a stay of about two weeks total), he describes:

  • Knockings and strange voices echoing in hallways
  • A feeling of oppression/evil in the building
  • Sounds and odd activity, such as an oven turning on by itself
  • A sense of being stared at from upstairs/landing areas, without seeing anything

Sanity check from others

  • The guest says other soldiers also became scared.
  • One eventually left the room to avoid being alone across the hall.

Seeking help

  • He reports asking the senior officer about the strange occurrences.
  • The officer confirmed something was “there.”

Turning point — pastor’s intervention

In distress, the guest calls his younger brother, who connects him with a pastor named James Cordell. The pastor:

  • Prays while walking up and down the corridors, using the name of Jesus Christ
  • Instructs the guest to put olive oil on the top of the doorframe

Reported result

The guest claims that after the prayer/ritual:

  • The oppressive fear and strange phenomena stopped completely
  • Peace returned

Unusual follow-up detail

The next morning, he claims a single drop of oil had spread down and covered all the doors, appearing to flow/glow.

Lasting impact — religious conversion

The guest frames the barracks incident as the start of his conversion:

  • He begins reading the Gospel of Matthew
  • He interprets it as spiritually awakening him to his condition
  • He describes an almost immediate internal transformation in desires and behavior, including reduced cravings for pornography, profanity, and gossip

Theme emphasized

The guest argues the “demon encounter” was less about proving a haunting and more about initiating deeper faith and moral change through God’s grace.
