'I Was a Witch': Ex-Ghost Hunter Encountered Demons, Chaos Before 'the Torment Stopped'

A former ghost hunter says her search for spirits ultimately led her to abandon the occult and cling to the Holy Spirit. Like many who find themselves enthralled by ghosts, ghouls and the macabre, Kristina Costanza's interest in these subjects started relatively 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 sparked 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." Watch the full interview.
