More to the story..

Ghost or Demon?

At first this guy was sure this was the ghost of the man he had shot and killed in what he claims was in defense of his property. Today he believes the apparitions are actually demons tormenting him. He claims they scratch him as he lay in bed and hiss in his ears. Mr. Eldridge is now developing what seems to be classic demonic obsession and his mental health is quickly deteriorating.

Despite my advice Eldridge continues to snap pictures, sits quietly all hours of the night listening for sounds, and talk about the phenomena constantly. This obsessive behavior seems to feed into the phenomena which I believe is real. Eldridge is giving this thing whatever it is fuel in my opinion.

Murder?

After talking to Eldridge over the last few years and researching, I have come to the strong belief that there is much more to this story than his initial story.

No doubt he killed a man in his yard.

News story here.

However, I believe that his story of getting drunk with the guy that mows his lawn and later waking up in a chair to find him stealing some of his guns...is probably not quite true. Eldridge claims when he woke up he saw the guy walking out and he fired off a shot and hit the doorframe. He then followed the guy out into the yard where he delivered the killing shot, then claims he notified police.

There were some inconsistencies in his court case and he was convicted of manslaughter. It is my opinion this guy is experience guilt that is manifesting itself physically.

Neighbors reported hearing another gunshot after the sirens had been approaching for awhile. I believe things did not go down quite how he says. Did he execute the man in a panic?

When the police arrived they found items belonging to Eldridge laying around the mans body.

What really happened that night will probably never be known. I believe the guilt of something is eating away at Eldridge and will eventually kill him or lead him into an institution.
