I was watching this show called A Haunting in it's 3rd season.It is one of those usual "docu" type of films where they get actors to reenact people's supernatural experiences while the individual narrates.And in between scenes,the individual involved will be interviewed.
So it goes like this for the episode I saw,one guy finds bones in the attic of his house.He then decides to buy a book on witchcraft and then reads a summoning spell.His family in his house soon get tormented by invisible entities that try to bite him.He soon visits a church but the pastor turns him away thinking he has mental problems.Other churches do the same.
Then he turns to a Wiccan aka White magician. At this point I thought "Oh no.The liberal media is trying to make Christianity look useless again and the Wiccan will definitely suceed in driving the demon out".So the Wiccan makes a pentagram on the ground,encircles the house 3 times and then main character narrates "I felt a sense of relief". But then it turns out the Wiccan suceeded in only angering the demons and they went straight for the narrator's younger sister. At this time,I was kinda surprised and thought "Huh?He didn't suceed?I thought he would. Maybe the Wiccan will appear again and suceed later."
The commercials ran and when the show resumed the main actor looked all pale and narrating voice said he felt depressed.A female friend of his recommended someone "who could help him".
He went to see a woman who was a barber who asked him to recite a prayer from the Bible, he couldn't recite it and the demons took over him. The woman held a cross over him and said some verses and the demons left. She then went to the house with a Bible and said a prayer with his family members gathering around him.
The narrator said that the entities did not disturb the house anymore and ended the episode saying "I know how my Lord is now.He is Jesus"
When the show ended,I was in utter DISBELIEF. After all these years of Christian bashing tv shows non-stop, all of a sudden I finally watched something that didn't get on my nerves?I was so overjoyed with what I saw. The pagan lost and the Christian won.As you can see in the IMDB narration.
Season 3, Episode 4: The Unleashed
Original Air Date—26 October 2006
A mailman dabbles in the occult and unleashes demons that torment him and his family. A white witch attempting to help only makes things worse.
And there is even a synopsis at IMDB that hints at another episode with a pro-Christian message.
SEASON 4:EPISODE 7:Spellbound
Original Air Date—28 September 2007
An aspiring writer develops an obsession with Wicca, which alienates her Christian son and unleashes powers that she can't control.
I even thought that there was a catch here and a security measure against liberal backlash by putting the actor who plays the gay son in Desperate Housewives as the main character but fortunately it wasn't the same actor when I checked IMDB.
Anyway, just to share with you all to tell you to have hope is that if more people are willing to make Christian-positive-portraying plots like these, then the Liberal pro-sorcery anti-christian media will meet a match they cannot handle.
But that is not to say the A Haunting is a very pro-christian series altogether. There have been plots in the 1st and 2nd season which featured shamans driving away entities and even one in which the shaman asks a woman to combine Bible verses with his spell. The only thing I dislike now is the thought that they may receive tons of hate mail from Wiccans to make an episode which shows White magic winning and Christian exorcism failing or face a boycott from the other Liberal film makers and viewers.
