    My mother could stop bleeding, shes done it many times. I called her from my job working as a RN, we had a man who we kept transfusing and we could not give him enough blood, she saved his life, Just with his name and a bible verse. She truly had a gift.

    I know exactly what bible verse you are talking about. I've witnessed this first hand. I actually read the verse to my grandma to stop some pretty serious bleeding due to a hemorrhage. I was told that it must be read by someone of the opposite sex, and if you tell anyone the verse, then they should also be of the opposite sex. I was told it would cease to work if you told someone of the same sex what verse to read...but I have no idea if gender is actually a factor, but that's how I was taught. It's an amazing thing to witness!

    This is awesome! I’m Kentuckian, from Rowan county and a lot of people are scared of healers because it looks like witchcraft. Witch is just a label that was put onto the healers and the medicine men and women, the church did it to scare the people because if the people don’t need your church to be healed, you’re out of business. My aunt says that she can be just as close to god in her front yard as family are in church. There was great potential in my family to be healers, but fear took away that gift from god. I’m 20, and I plan on keeping the gift alive and educating people and bringing healing back. Once you accept the gift, you unlock a world of opportunity, just never forget where your power comes from ^

    My great grandfather Wagner was German-American, Powwow doctor who specialized in healing animals. He had a remarkable record of successful healing farm animals. Grandmother said he would sit and talk to the animal with his hands on it and usually by morning, it was up and moving around. So much for the need of the person being healed to believe in the healing for it to be successful. The cow or horse could not understand, much less be a partner in its healing. People in their community of Western North Carolina would marvel at his skill and he never took a penny for what he did as it was "God's work." A traditional Powwow can never take money for a healing or his/her power will be lost forever. I have seen similar healing s of humans and animals from modern Powwows and believe it is a human ability that certain people have and, if properly used, can benefit humankind. Sadly, like many Powwows, he could not heal himself and died of facial cancer, in pain and disfigured. It was a sad fate for someone who brought so much good to others. He was a staunch Lutheran and deeply Christian man who believed he was doing divine sanctioned work.

I stumbled apon this and found it fascinating knowing others consider this to be a gift from god sets me at ease, I never wanted to think it was from a darker side... Thank you for this video.

    It's sad that folks consider the ability to heal as being witch craft or Devil Worship.. There are Churches in Appalachia that TEACH "LAYING ON OF HANDS" FOR HEALING. There is no difference whether it is a Church Deacon or the Fellow who lives in a cabin by the Creek..... the ability to heal is a Gift from God. God heals. Did you ever hear of the Devil healing anyone? No, you haven't. All things are from God, the injury and the healing. When a person is healed, they need to give Praise to God for the healing. The "Healer" is the method that God uses to give the Healing to the person. It is a very simple concept. When you or a loved one is injured or ill, do you pray to God for a Healing? Then WHY IS IT that when you are told someone is a HEALER and can HEAL the injury or disease, WHY don't you just welcome the healing as an ANSWER FROM GOD? IF YOU are the HEALER, EMBRACE this GIFT that God has given to YOU. God didn't choose everyone else. .. GOD CHOSE YOU.

I have seen her pray for people that were dying and they were healed, she never took credit for it or charged anyone for it , I know this works as i have seen it many times . i realize many people call us here in Appalachia all sorts of names . i do not have to convence anyone I have seen it with my own eyes.

    Thank you so much for this video & for collecting these marvelous accounts. I found you because I was searching for Appalachian faith healers similar to my great-great-Granny, who lived in the Great Smoky Mountains. She would travel on the train to visit my mom's family in California when my mom was a little girl. She had been raised as a healer, had never cut her hair and never let it touch the ground. It could only be washed with rain water, and she needed multiple people to hold it up and wash it with her. When the family would hear she was coming, they would put big basins out in the yard hoping to collect enough water to wash while she was there. My mom recounted to me how her Great-Granny would cure her warts by rubbing them and saying Bible verses over them, similar to what is recounted here. But just like the folks in this video said, my grandparents didn't take her all that seriously, and she wasn't able to pass on her knowledge that I know of. My mom had many experiences that say to me that she had the "gift," but her parents wouldn't talk to her about it because they thought it was some kind of devilry or "voodoo"

Before too long the wart was gone. I don't know what he did with the string after that. He did tell us he couldn't tell anyone or else it wouldn't work anymore. He passed away a few years ago.

I pray that God makes our spiritual gifts known, connects us with good mentors, and harbors Us in flourishing community.

    I was born with a veil and have always seen stuff plus do blessings. I've done a few healing. I was born in Alabama and they say I got this from my mawmaw. My husband says it's witchcraft. We've been married for 8yrs. He's from Georgia and very Bible belt religious. We are both in our 60s. I finally figured it out to not tell him anything else. He's just mad that I can't heal myself or certain things for him. I tell him my gift doesn't work like that so he calls me a witch. I have family that are scared of me and that he says is proof I'm evil. My family is scared cause they have seen me do things and only don't want me to tell them if I know they're going to pass. So my gift was a daughter had to have surgery on her wrist but she came to visit and I blessed it. When she went to get surgery the doctor told her that there was nothing wrong.I always get very ill after doing them. I had to have emergency surgery on my stomach. Anyway I'm sorry for as they say,"Talking your ear off." But this video was awesome.

The doctor had seen him and they just had no luck with them he ended up with them for months. One day grandpa gave grandma the okay and she loaded him in the car and took him to the seventh son of a family on the bottom of the mountain and took him inside and the man bought my uncle's warts too! Grandma said the same thing to not pay no attention to them and they'd go and sure enough about a week or so later they were gone! My family has the gift of healing now and a strong decernment and I truly believe these are gifts from the Holy Spirit through the Lord Jesus! Anyone our whole lives who done these sort of things were usually always strong believers. It's so cool to hear this from someone else! We have so many things that have happened people would never probably believe unless they've seen them but they happened! I really loved this video! I pray the knowledge and gifts like the old timers had stays alive here in SWVA! After listening to more now it's almost like the lady in the video is talking about the same family!

    The thing is the believers must acknowledge that it's from God, that He's the one doing the healing, the helping, whatever it is, and all the credit and glory goes to HIM. If not, then it is witchcraft and not from God but from Satan. I've heard stories all my life in Western KY about this. My grandfather was a water witch. I, too, can water witch. Neither of us could ever wear a watch. It would stop immediately when we put it on. I loved him and it pains me to say it but he most likely was not a Christian. I do not know but God did. Suffice it to say, he was not a good, faithful man to my grandmother. He wasn't a healer, just a water witch. My great grandfather was a good, Godly man and a preacher. He did believe in the signs and taught my mother to use them. I used them to break both my daughters from the bottle, to potty train them, etc. Idk how it works, but it works. I'm still torn on this as so many attribute the healing as their success and take credit for it. Even Satan knows scripture and as the Bible says, he can pose as an Angel of light. There is no true power except that of Jesus Christ. It's important that we all remember that.

    I'm from North GA & when I was a kid had warts on my hands. My mom took me to a dermatologist & he cut & burnt my warts. They came back & mom took me to a man we all called Poppa Barton & he conjured my warts. Told me to forget about them & after a couple weeks I looked down & they were gone. I remember he would put his hand in the pocket of his blazer jacket & when he pulled his hand out he'd be rubbing his finger & thumb together. He'd rub my warts & be mumbling something then do it to the rest of my warts. Also my mom knew a lady that could conjure Thrush & all she needed was the baby's full name & date of birth. I know a girl in North Carolina that can talk the fire out of a burn. A friends son got burned & I messaged the girl. She'd never tried it not being with the person & wasn't sure it'd work. I called my friend & got her sons full name & date of birth. My friend hadn't never heard of healers & was skeptical. Minutes after my NC friend let me know she was done the boys mom called me & told me I don't know what she did but it worked.

    My grandson was just learning to walk and we were heating the house with a kerosene heater. He fell against it and burned his hand badly . I was at work and so was my husband and son . They called my son and husband they rushed home and took him to the E R . They treated his burn saying it was second and third degree burns . They took him home and went back to work .I came home and fixed supper and the baby was csobbing in pain .My husband and son came in and told us put supper in the oven and wrap the baby and we headed off to their boss's house he meet us at the door and took the baby. He took him over in the corner and for a few minutes and brought him back , the baby had stopped crying. We went home I put supper out and sat the baby in the highchair . He started beating his little bandaged hand on the tray and the bandage started coming off. I was going to rewrap it but when I took it off there was no burn only a small place the size of a dime in the palm of his hand and it was only red. Now I hadn't seen the burn but everyone else had said that his whole hand had been burn and that the skin was coming off before they got him to the ER. I had heard of stories about people stopping blood and taking out burns and warts but I saw this.

    Lucy, I grew up in rural East Central Mississippi, and my father would often regal me with tales of an older gentleman who had this particular gift. My father told me this; "If you were the firstborn son of a firstborn son, and your father died before you were born", you had the 'gift' of witching off warts. He said he saw a child healed in front of his eyes once of a painful wart on his knee, and he went to this man in their community to get his own warts witched off as a kid. This would have been around 1950 or so and my dad swears it happened. I found your documentary looking for information on witching warts. I think "dousing" and "water witching" are closely related to this art. My dad told us kids of a local man who could witch water with a forked stick, and the stick would literally rip itself downward in his hand, even though he was white knuckling it trying to keep it from moving.

    My uncle wished for water for his neighbors with a forked willow stick. He could not only tell them where to dig their wells, but how deep they would have to dig before they would hit water. He brought his stick over one day when I was about 14. My father and one of my siblings who takes after his side of the family couldn't do it. I, my mother, and my sister who also takes after my mother's side of the family, were all able to do it. When walking over what my father later told us was a main water line, the stick was whipping up and down so hard it almost hit me in the head.

    When I was a boy growing up in rural west GA, a family friend came over to conjure a wart on my finger. He gave me instructions to follow, then said if I told anyone what he told me to do, the wart would come back. Well, a week passed and the wart peeled off, revealing new skin underneath. Of course I was excited and told my best friend what the conjurer had told me to do. And you guessed it, a couple weeks later another wart popped up on the next finger over. Mama called him back to the house, and as soon as he walked in, he looked at me and said, "You told someone, din'tcha?" Haha! He gave me different instructions that time, I followed them, the wart came off in a week, and I have kept my mouth shut for 35 years!

    I had brain surgery and woke up with motion sickness which is much worse than being dizzy. My Neurosurgeon was in his 80's & called an acupuncturist to come to the hospital to see me because there wasn't anything medical that could stop the tilt a whirl spinning & turning. The acupuncturist did place needles in my body but she asked me to trust her and she blew in my ear & around it 6 or 7 times and whispered & moved her hand in circles. After her 2nd treatment I was 80% better & could open my eyes. My Neurosurgeon said it would take 6-8 months to get better if she couldn't help me. When I thanked her & my Neurosurgeon they both told me to thank God.

    I was born and raised in Appalachia, my dad was a coal miner. Though there was good things about my youth, I neve.r for one minute, thought I could live my life there. Why? I didn't want to be a miner or work on the railroad. I wanted ti make a living primarily using my brain, not my back. I liked technology, math and science. And I disliked superstitions, the magical thinking and ignorance that was all too common there. So at 18, I left and joined the 20th Century. I spend 4 years in the service learning and working with electronics and avionics. Then I was unemployed for just 2 days and started working on computers when not one person in a thousand had ever seen a computer. I did that for 30+ years. I did very well accent and all. I retired at 54. I never once, not for one minute worried that I'd lose my job, be in explosion, go on strike or not be able to provide from my family. I just never saw much to admire, surely there were some great teachers there and others who saw beyond that small world but not nearly enough of them. Now it's the 21 Century and it's worse, coal is on its last legs. And now it's "conjuring" what Century is that?

    My Daddy had diverticulitis and was in ICU bleeding to death. They couldn't transfuse him fast enough. He was bad shape. The bleeding slowed a bit and they did an exploratory surgery and when they found the bleeding, they were to cut his intestines to get rid of that bad part, the bleeding part and put in a colostomy bag. They were to come out tells us before they actually did any cutting. Well, I was running late at usual. I had wanted to get there before they took him down and put him to sleep. But since I couldn't get there in time, I called him. I read to him the verse over the phone and I told him I knew it would work. His Momma, my Granny stopped bleeding many times. So he knew it would work to. I made it to the hospital and they eventually came to tell us what they'd found before they went to cutting on him. Well they said one of the dumbest thing I ever heard. They couldn't find a bit of bleeding anywhere in him. Their reason for that," the air we put into his intestines, plugged the hole up and temporarily stopped the bleeding but 'we think we know the spot' and that's what we're going to cut out." I kick myself every day for not forbidding them to cut him. That bleeding had been stopped by God. Air doesn't plug a hole for crying outloud. He had complications and leaking and infections and all kinds of problems with that surgery. He still has the bag. He isn't married and I'm the eldest child and I should have stopped them and told them sew him back up and get out of there, they're done. But I didn't and he still has that bag and so much scar tissue from many surgeries that he may have it forever. I should have stood up for God that day and said no surgery, no bag since there's no bleeding. Glory to God for stopping that bleeding. It wasn't me. It was God.

    I had prayed for several people to be healed from warts. Within 3 days they are gone. But haven't been able to heal anything else.

    I believe in this, but I believe it's a gift from GOD. I don't believe the person can heal you, but I believe it's the LORD working through the person that has the power to heal. It bothers me when there's people that are disrespectful and they decide to turn it into something evil. GOD knows your heart. He knows whether or not it's a blessing or a curse. I told my daughter the other day.....sometimes I can tell when someone is genuinely a good and an honest person and I can tell when they're not. Sometimes it's just by looking at there eyes or listening to them talk. It makes me not trust them. I know we're not supposed to judge people, but I do believe GOD gives us these instincts whether to trust certain people or not. Like for an example.... I do not believe we should go to a fortune teller or someone who uses voodoo or uses tarot cards. You need to stay away from things like that. I guess that's what I'm trying to say. GOD bless you.
