- Hell House

What is a Hell House?

Commonly called a judgment home, a hell house is a haunted-house usually run by Christian churches or parachurch groups. These houses reveal the torments of Hell to the unsaved who haven't repented of their sins. These houses focuses on effects of sin and try to give people an idea of what eternity will be like if you don't turn your life over to Christ. These houses typically feature exhibits depicting certain types of sin such as: abortion, homosexuality, suicide, alcohol use, drugs, adultery, pre-marital sex, occultism, and satanic ritual abuse.

The first Hell House was created by Jerry Falwell in the late 1970's. Since then many pastors at local churches have put together hell house ministries and provide the supplies to put on their own attractions in their communities. Hell Houses are usually performed during the Halloween season.

- Tulpas

 

A tulpa is a being or object which is created through sheer willpower alone. In other words, tulpas are spirits that exist because of certain beliefs among people. It's a thought or idea in physical form. If you recall back to the X-Files in the Arcadia episode in the 6 th season, the president of the homeowners' association for an exclusive community, use a tulpa to enforce the neighborhood rules.
