The past experience of young people is what makes them vulnerable
spiritually. Vulnerability is not a weakness but strength. A young person must
have faith in God and have a deep encounter with him to trust that God is leading
that person. A healthy and well-adjusted life is founded on trust.
This source will support my main idea about how children are vulnerable.
Hereditary Curse. RSS. TV Tropes, n.d. Web. 21 Apr. 2014.
<http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HereditaryCurse>.
A hereditary curse is a supernatural curse that is passed down to the
offspring of the possessed. A motivator in movies is the possessed person trying
to find a way to become free and to break the curse.
I will be able to relate this information with my main idea about how the
spirit may be hereditary.
Insidious I. Dir. James Wan. Prod. Jason Blum. By Leigh Whannell. Perf. Patrick
Wilson, Rose Byrne, Ty Simpkins, and Lin Shaye. Film District, 2010. Netflix.
A little boy goes into a coma after falling and seeing a ghost. While in the
coma, weird things are happening in the house and the grandmother has a dream
about a ghost standing near her grandsons bed. She calls in an expert and the
expert sees the same exact ghost and draws it out. The father realizes that its the
same ghost that his son drew prior to the coma. The expert then realizes that the
father and son is experiencing the same things, and the father has astral-project to
go into The Further and retrieve his sons spirit. Once he led his son back they
awoke but the spirit came back as Josh. The spirit then killed the expert.
This source will help me because there is interaction between a child and
ghost/demon and it will support my main idea about hereditary/shared spirits.
Insidious 2. Dir. James Wan. By Leigh Whannell. Prod. Jason Blum. Perf. Patrick
Wilson, Rose Byrne, Ty Simpkins, and Lin Shaye. Film District, 2013. Netflix.
After the death of the expert and weird things still happening after the
father and son returned back, three guys that worked with the expert assisted in
finding out what was going on. They thought of a way to communicate with the
expert, but it was actually the ghost/demon leading them. The fathers spirit was
left in The Further while the demon came and lived as the father on earth. Once
the three guys realized that the father was really the demon, it killed one of the
guys allowing him to meet the expert and father and helped kill the demon. The
son also used astral-project to help lead the father back. Once the demon was
killed the father and son returned back to their bodies.
This source will help me because there is interaction between a child and
ghost/demon and will help support my main idea about hereditary/shared spirits.
Layne , Beth . "Physic Children - Imaginary Friends?." Beth Layne. N.p., 21 Jan. 2011.
Web. 20 Apr. 2014. <http://bethlayne.com/main/2011/01/21/psychic-children-
imaginary-friends/>.
Beth Layne, an empathic psychic medium, talks about the difference
between imaginary friends and physic ability. She then talks about specific signs
that show that determines if the imaginary friend is a spirit rather than
imagination.
This website will help support my main idea that children can be scarier
because of their imagination. What we assume as being their imagination is
actually real to them.

oldest daughter a ghost shows up and kills him. A couple of years later his

girls referred to the ghost as Mama and she followed them to their new home.
Mama pushed the uncle downstairs causing him to go into a coma and she also
killed the psychiatrist that was over their case. After she killed the psychiatrist,
the girlfriend learned that the psychiatrist found out that mama was actually a
woman that had down syndrome and had her child taken from her. Once she took
her child back, she was chased to the end of a cliff where she jumped and died but
her baby didnt die with her. The baby ended up hitting a branch on the way
down. Mama had been looking around for her baby in the woods and that how she
came across the cabin. The girlfriend learned of this, found her babys corpse, and
took it to the cabin where Mama and the girls were. Mama ended up jumping with
the youngest daughter turning into butterfly once it hit the branch.
