WorldNetDaily columnist Stuart Goldman writes today that a series of horrific murders committed in Isla Vista, California over the past several decades, such as Elliot Rodger’s recent killing spree, are a result of the city’s “occultism” and “aura of evil that seems to fill the air so thick that I literally become sick to my stomach.”

“[C]an I make a case here for my statement that the little beach own of Isla Vista is, in fact, infested by demons? I think I can.” Goldman writes, before adding: “I have no tangible proof.”

I smoked my first marijuana cigarette in Isla Vista. In fact, the apartment complex I lived in was said to be “the place” for obtaining marijuana. I also took my first dose of LSD while living in Isla Vista. I took it on several occasions.

It was while living in Isla Vista that I joined a cult led by Indian Guru named Jiddu Krishnamurti, whose teaching I became acquainted with while studying Eastern mysticism. I spent my days at the Unicorn bookstore, which stocked a massive array of books on occultism and Eastern mysticism.

I can’t say whether or not it was because of the drugs I was taking, but the fact is, I always had a sense that there was a palpable aura of “evil” in Isla Vista. It was nothing I could put my finger on; it was just a feeling – one that was impossible to ignore.

I have gone back to visit Isla Vista several times during the years since I left there in 1971. Every time I go there, the aura of evil that seems to fill the air is so thick that I literally become sick to my stomach. In fact, the last time I went there, it was so bad, I realized I could never go back there again.

Many of Rodgers friends told authorities that Rodgers had displayed an unusual interest in the occult – and particularly in demons.

The burning question is, can I make a case here for my statement that the little beach own of Isla Vista is, in fact, infested by demons?

I think I can. I have no tangible proof. What I can say is that the Lord has confirmed this to me during prayers sessions in which I have asked Him to reveal the truth to me about this issue.

Let me know what you think.
