Can sleepwalking sometimes be caused by spirit interference?
Sleepwalking caused by spirit interference is not uncommon. I might suspect spirit interference when the sleepwalking is habitual and certain other features are present.
I was once called to a home where the six year-old son had been sleepwalking for nearly three years. Every evening, at approximately the same time, he would climb out of bed and walk into the hallway, face into another room and begin mumbling. His parents would then either carry or guide him back into his bed. The child never remembered his nightly experiences.
I visited the home one evening and sat with the parents in their living room. I soon felt a familiar sensation of spirit presence. I waited until I heard the child's footsteps, at which point the parents and I went upstairs. The child was now standing in the hallway and beside him I saw two spirits. One appeared to be in his early 20s and the other quite a bit younger. While the parents led their sleepwalking son back to his bed, I communicated with the spirits and. I learned that they had been in that house for many years and had no idea how to leave. After I explained how I could help them, they expressed an eagerness to move on and I was able to perform a rescue, one of the easiest I've ever had to facilitate.
Every since that day, the boy's sleepwalking stopped.
