Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Virginie Cordélis is not your average cleaner. She’s a spiritual cleanser and is visiting a remote water mill in southwestern France where she is evicting troubled souls. She’s also measuring the energy levels in the old house - and its current owners.
Ms Cordélis is one of a growing number of people in France interested in geobiology, a science which sounds like a cross between Chinese feng shui and Ghostbusters. But she insists that she’s not an exorcist. At the watermill, where the previous owner committed suicide, she sensed two “entities” or souls “who wanted to leave”. “I told them to go,” she says. She also detected the remains of dead sheep and a cow in the garden. One of the first things she did was to order the removal of a marble topped washstand which was giving off bad vibes in a bedroom.
Ms Cordélis has studied and practised geobiology for the past seven years, after an expert helped with her daughter’s insomnia. As soon as the geobiologist advised her to move the bed out of an alcove, get rid of the furry animals and shift a piece of furniture from the bedroom, her daughter’s normal sleep patterns returned.
Ms Cordélis charged 320 euros for two days work on the property. The owners are awaiting her final report.
