Taking to social media, the woman in the video now going viral said:

LADY: Never use your old clothes. Your old clothes that you have been wearing but are no longer using—do not use them to clean the floor. Never do it. You are inviting negative energy into your home. Never use your old clothes as a cleaning cloth. Don't do it.

Never talk to yourself when you are alone at home. Nobody is around, and you are talking to yourself—my dear, you are inviting spirits into your home, and that will lead to very dangerous negative energy.

In the middle of the night, from 2:00 to 3:00 AM, never go in front of your mirror. Never do it. Never stand in front of your mirror at that hour. Don't do it, my dear. If you do, you are inviting a very dangerous spirit into your home.

These are the things you should avoid doing in your home. Your old clothes—if you are not using them anymore, either throw them away, but do not use them as a cleaning cloth. Don't do it. If you do, you are inviting negative and dangerous energy into your home.

Do not talk to yourself when you are alone. Don't. If you do, you are inviting bad, negative spirits into your home, and that will lead to disaster. Yes, because they will always come around. They know you are talking alone, and they will always be there, listening to you.

Stop doing these things in your home. If not, you have yourself to blame.

Thank you.
