“But there is no need to be afraid; we can help you here. Starting immediately, you will need to stay in this temple for the next week – we have a room you can use. Put this sacred object next to your pillow, and take this talisman and put it on the door of your bedroom.” He handed me the indicated objects.

But you must not to talk to it or leave the temple until the morning of the eighth day. Also, just to be safe I’m going to keep your phone too. I know it’s very sudden, and a hassle, but if you follow my instructions, you should be able to get rid of the spirit.”
