Book Cover & Preview Text
Dr. Raymond: Okay, Corey, let’s talk about that first night when the bad dreams began. Can you talk about it with me?
Corey: I’m afraid.
Dr. Raymond: It’s okay, Corey. You are safe here. Nothing will happen to you. Please, tell me about your dreams.
Corey: We went to bed that night, and I was still feeling down. I lay down beside Renee and hugged him before he closed his eyes.
Dr. Raymond: When did you fall asleep?
Corey: I don’t know. I don’t remember. (Feeling agitated.)
Dr. Raymond: It’s okay, Corey. Can you tell me what happens after Renee falls asleep? What are you doing?
Corey: I’m covering my eyes.
Dr. Raymond: Are you asleep?
Corey: No. I don’t feel right. Something is wrong.
Dr. Raymond: Tell me what is wrong.
Corey: I’m afraid.
Dr. Raymond: Corey, there is nothing to be afraid of. You are safe at home. Tell me what happened as you lie in bed.
Corey: I’m afraid to open my eyes. It’s in the room. It’s here! It’s here!
Dr. Raymond: Open your eyes and tell me what you see.
Corey: Oh God, no, please no! Make it go away. God, please make it go away.
Dr. Raymond: What do you see, Corey?
Corey: I am on the ceiling.
Dr. Raymond: You are on the ceiling?
Corey: Yes, I can see myself from the ceiling. I cannot move. I am afraid I am going to fall.
Dr. Raymond: Can you call out to Renee?
Corey: No, it won’t let me.
Dr. Raymond: What won’t let you?
Corey: This thing. This black thing. It is pressing me against the ceiling.
Dr. Raymond: What is it doing to you?
Corey: (Screaming.)
Dr. Raymond: Corey, what is happening to you right now?
Corey: It is holding me up against the ceiling. (Screaming.) I am falling. I am falling from the ceiling. Something is in my bed! (Screaming.)
Dr. Raymond: Where is Renee?
Corey: (Screaming.) Please help me!
Dr. Raymond: Where is Renee?
Corey: He’s right there. He is not moving. Renee, wake up! Wake up!
Dr. Raymond: Tell me what is happening.
Corey: The black thing. It’s hovering on the ceiling and looking down on me. It’s breath—it’s disgusting! I can smell it. (Gagging.) It is getting bigger, and it’s coming! It’s coming for me! (Screaming.)
Dr. Raymond: Ask it what it wants.
Corey: (Screaming.)
Dr. Raymond: Corey, what does it want from you?
Corey: It’s pressing against me. It’s holding me down. Oh my God, the smell! (Screaming.) Help me! Please help me!
Dr. Raymond: Can you call out to Renee?
Corey: (Screaming.)
Dr. Raymond: Corey, can you call out to Renee?
Corey: It’s hurting me! Get it off me! Get it out of my head! (Screaming.) Let go of me! Please, God, help me! Oh God, please help me. Make it go away! Make it go away! It wants me to see it. I can’t look away. I can’t close my eyes.
Dr. Raymond: Why can’t you look away?
Corey: It wants me to look. It wants me to look in the mirror! It’s coming for me! God, help me, please!
Dr. Raymond: Relax, Corey. Take some deep breaths. It’s okay. Relax and tell me what it is doing to you at this moment.
Corey: It is pressing on my chest! I … can’t … breathe. I … don’t want … to … look! (Voice changes.) Look at me, look at me, and look at me!
Dr. Raymond: Corey? Corey, are you still with me?
Corey: (Voice different from client.) Look in the mirror now. Do it!
Dr. Raymond: It’s okay. Go ahead and look in the mirror. Tell me, what do you see?
Corey: No, I am afraid. Please don’t make me look in the mirror. Please, God, no! (Screaming.)
Dr. Raymond: It’s okay. Look in the mirror. Tell me what you see in the reflection.
Corey: I can’t. I am afraid to look. Please don’t make me look.
Dr. Raymond: Corey, you need to confront it. Look in the mirror and tell me what you see.
Corey: No! Please, God, make it go away. Make it go away!
Dr. Raymond: What happens when you look in the mirror? Tell me what you see in the reflection.
Corey: Oh God! (Screaming.) Why? Why?
Dr. Raymond: What do you see, Corey?
Corey: (Screaming.) No, please, no! (Screaming.)
Dr. Raymond: Tell me what you see in the reflection.
Corey: (Screaming.) Its teeth are gray and sharp, like shark teeth. (Screaming.) It won’t stop laughing at me.
Dr. Raymond: I know this is difficult, Corey, but you have to be strong and face your fears. I need you to tell it to leave you alone. Tell it to go away.
Corey: It won’t let me. It’s my fault. I invited it in. I can’t move. Please, Renee! Renee! Please wake up!
Dr. Raymond: At the count of five, I want you to awake feeling relaxed and comfortable. One, two, three, four, five. Corey, open your eyes. Here, have some tissues.
Corey: (Sobbing.) What is happening to me? Dr. Raymond, am I going insane? I mean, what is wrong with me?

About the Book
Corey Michaels wanted nothing more than to publish her history book on an old, poor farm. It was something she had worked hard to complete, the story of 150 years on a county poor farm in her town. It all began with a tombstone unlike the others in the cemetery.
Once the book was published, Michaels began to have sinister dreams of events yet to come. The dreams were about loved ones being harmed and of others she never knew. After accepting an invitation to speak to the dead, a dark evil that remained buried for more than 125 years awakened. Her life spiraled downward and as a result she experienced an “awakening” of her own. This unearthed a secret within herself that was buried long, long ago, and now jeopardized the lives of those around her.
Lost Souls shares the story of Corey Michaels in the form of journal entries and recorded therapy sessions. This book, inspired by actual events, demonstrates how the mind and soul can affect ourselves and those around us in every aspect of life.
