All of this started because of a comment I responded to from an experience posted not so long ago... An individual suggested the O/P find a Priesthood Holder from my Church and I found this odd as we Mormons are not normally the first Faith sought out when it comes to the 'paranormal'. The individual that made that suggestion never replied but it did lead to another member of YGS contacting me VIA e-mail and after receiving permission I post this experience...

Hi Brother Rook,
I just wanted to ask a quick question...
My Uncle Darrell has been really sick lately and has been seeing a little girl and boy, he had never spoke to me about his beliefs in the Paranormal until the other night when my Aunt called me all upset because he said to her the children were arguing and told him he needed to get me because I was the only one who can help them. Flash forward to today... I went over to their home and NOTHING. I didn't sense anything besides my Great Grandmother's spirit. My Uncle was hospitalized yesterday evening. Could these spirits be attached to him? Could it be that they were just shy... I am just wondering if maybe you could give me some advice... Right now I don't feel too helpful.

First and foremost, go visit him. If these spirits were wanting him to contact you there is a reason why. Second... Family History... His side... Are there any children, perhaps a brother and sister, who have crossed over... They may have even been 'stillbirths' that could account for them visiting your uncle? To answer more directly, yes they could be attached to him... The fact you did not sense them in the home makes me think they are and if/when you visit him where ever you visit him you should feel them.
They are secondary, I think visiting your Uncle is what's really important here.
Respectfully,
Garret

You were so right. After talking to my Great Aunt I found out she did have a stillborn birth of twins... One boy and one girl. Uncle D is home again and I went over there. I did visit him while he was in the hospital and both times the children were there. I talked to my Uncle and the children let me know they were just visiting and had crossed over. They were so amazing. Uncle D could only see them when they allowed it. They wanted Uncle D to know that they were with him and loved him. I think I should explain my family is Native American and still have certain beliefs in Spirits that have stuck with us despite being brought up Mormon. I have been spending time with Uncle Darrell a lot in the last few days and have only seen my "Aunt and Uncle" 4 times. It is very special to me that they have been there when he was at his sickest and it makes me proud that my family has such strong spiritual ties. Thank you Brother Rook. I truly appreciate your help and concern. You have made me proud of my gifts again. You will never know what meeting u has done for my soul. Thank you again.
Your Sister in the Gospel,

I hope that this did not come off as 'too preachy' or 'pro-Mormon' I just found it interesting that Tracy was able to validate who these spirits were and the fact they were watching over Family.
As always Questions and Comments are welcome.
First, my deepest sympathies go out to you and your family! And my apology for jumping your comments thread in order to get some advice from you. I could have emailed you but I thought Melda and others may find your answer helpful. I have posted my question to you on the thread under my story, (www.yourghoststories.com/real-ghost-story.php?story=24550) hoping you would come across it. So I'm copy pasting the same including the reply to Melda.
Apart from the plan to cleanse the place in question in my story, I'm also planning to do the ritual in my home.
About the house; I don't know how to put it. Let's say... This house we currently live just doesn't feel right. It feels, dead. I'm not suggesting to the general stresses in life here. Or any evil haunts and the like. (Mind you, in almost all the houses we used to live before had some sort of spiritual x-factor to them. Sometimes spooky even. May be the lack of it is the problem here) My family even had few pastors come over and pray regularly. But still it's the same. So I thought of trying out your method of cleansing, for good luck and to make this house a home! Kindly be patient on my English as well as my rambling please.
Here's my question (the copy);
"Hi Melda,
Thanks for being a great help by asking Rook the same thing I've been wondering and meaning to ask myself. And thanks for doing it on this thread instead anywhere (for I would have missed it)
Hope the cleansing you're planing works out well!
Regards,
Geezer
Hi Rookdygin,
Hope you are seeing this. (Sorry, I'm new to this site and don't know how it works; whether you get an alert coming your way since I'm just mentioning your name here and not using a tag or anything)
First, thank you for the explanation given below to Melda, which I find most helpful.
I was hoping may be you can help me out on one more thing please. Does one needs to be physically, as well as mentally pure (at least to a certain level;since its almost impossible to be 100% there') in order for a meditative ritual to be effective?
I.e. I have been practicing simple meditation along with yoga workouts, which I find really helpful in finding inner peace. On and off of course. It's during these bouts that I've found out that staying sober (no smoking, alcohol or other substances) helps out a lot. (I'm trying to quit smoking, again) And these meditations I do are non religestic. Being not a fan' of indoctrination myself, even though I come from a Christian background.
Hope I'm not talking about two totally different things here."
Also read your story above. It's quite fascinating actually. Going to read the rest of your stories.
Thanks and regards,
Geezer
