Ghost buster helps realtors sell unsold houses

Jane Phillips looks the part of a put-together professional as she enters the three-bedroom house that I share with two roommates. She�s not quite what I expected from someone who promises to rid houses of evil spirits, although she did warn me over the phone that she�s �not the stereotypical flowing-skirt person.�

We�ve got more than our fair share of those in Santa Fe�people whose business cards say things like �visionary,� �healer� and �polarity specialist.� But I called Phillips because I wanted a different kind of spring cleaning.

A professional medium and ghost buster, Phillips has done energy clearings for homes since 2010, when she first did it as a favor for a friend in real estate with a listing that wouldn�t sell. I give her a tour of the house, and although I�m naturally a bit of a skeptic, my heart jumps a little when she says, �Oh yes, there�s something in there.� Then, I narrow my eyes and think suspiciously that I never liked that closet.


The process starts with dowsing.

She pulls out a tool kit of wire rods and pendulums and begins to feel out the space as they wave hither and thither. Then the ghost busting begins, although it�s less sucking spirits into a vacuum and more asking them respectfully what it would take for them to move on.

�There are a few things to notice,� she says, explaining that she�s creating an �energy blanket� several feet below the foundation to rise up and catch any residue left over after first phase of the process. �If there�s a place in your house you never feel comfortable in, if you feel strange drafts, lose things frequently or if your children complain of monsters�those are all indications that the energy in the house isn�t great.�
