"I definitely, now coming out of it, I know 100% these were all demons. One of the many Scriptures that woke me up ... a decade later was finding out that even satan himself masquerades as a being of light, an angel of light." -Kristina Costanza

Like many who find themselves enthralled by ghosts, ghouls, and the macabre, Kristina Costanza's interest in these subjects began fairly innocently and quickly grew into something diabolical.

"I didn't professionally start ghost hunting until I was about 21 years old, but when I was a teenager growing up right outside of Boston ... I spent summers going up to Salem, Massachusetts," she told the "Into the Supernatural" podcast. "For those who aren't familiar, that's what we call the witch city nowadays, famous for the witch trials back in the late 1600s, and now it's just overrun with witch stores and psychics."

Costanza recalled going to Salem as a teenager out of curiosity and, at age 14, hearing her first "disembodied voice" whisper in her ear.

"It scared the living daylights out of me, but it did spark this curiosity," she said, noting that this ignited in her a quest to move deeper into the occult. "I really wanted to discover more."

Before long, Costanza was diving fully into witchcraft in an attempt to contact the spirits she believed she was hearing.

"I didn't know who they were, or what they were, or what they wanted with me, but I did feel a little bit special that these voices, these beings were contacting me," she said. "I had these little Tarot cards ... and trying to make contact, but nothing really was happening until I was 21 years old."

That's when Costanza met people who would eventually join her paranormal team of professional so-called "ghost hunters." She ended up forming the first large group of an all-female paranormal team, with she and her peers quickly gaining attention.

"I was just diving headfirst into this stuff," she said. "I was going to these conventions and events and hosting events as well, and not only getting into the more scientific equipment, then starting to add in the witchcraft."... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
