(Playback/Strange World)
It’s a lost spirit that ′′ touches ′′ a person to suck their energy. According to spiritism, they are souls who have not accepted that they left this world or are not aware that they are dead. And the longer a spirit stays in our dimension, the more chances it has of not making the passage to the other side. It would wander around until it found a person to take advantage of its light. “To have energy, we feed ourselves. The backrest does not have this option, so it needs our energy to continue existing”, explains Tânia Gori, theologian and professor at Universidade Livre Holística Casa de Bruxa. The «leecher» can still be sent by those who wish someone harm or be attracted by the person’s own negativity.

Know how to identify a backrest in a person and how to get rid of it
In the «bad»
People who would have their energy sucked by a spirit could show some symptoms. Among them: bad mood, irritation, depression and high chances of developing some kind of addiction, such as alcoholism.
how to catch
The spirit would be attracted to pessimism, as it would leave people unprotected (so cultivating good vibes is a form of protection). The backrest could also be sent by anyone who wanted to harm someone.
Who are you?
The backrests could be souls from past lives or family members. They would be in two dimensions: that of bad people, who are no longer evolving; or that of souls seeking spiritual growth
follow the light
If the spirit does not pass over, it becomes evil. So that this doesn’t happen, family members can ask for a mass or a prayer to guide them to the light. The ritual can be performed by mediums or in spiritist centers.
pulling away
To get rid of the spirit, the person may need several sessions of unloading. The afflicted person is in the center of a circle formed by mediums, who will perform the “pull” to remove the backrest. After leaving a body, the soul continues wandering and can “touch” someone again
