Earl Townsend – Fairmount, Georgia

Interviewed on November 18, 2016
After my Papa (Fred Harmon) recounted the story of having his wart bought, he told me that the man who did it is still alive and lives about 30 minutes away. I asked my Papa to try to get in touch with him and see if I could interview him. He was able to set up an interview, and the man’s name is Earl Townsend. Mr. Townsend lived on a remote road on the top of a mountain with only one way in and out. He and his wife, both elderly, were very open and friendly toward my Papa and me when we went to their home for the interview.
Mr. Townsend said he is the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, which is believed to give a person special gifts and powers. It is based on a passage in the Bible. He described how he could stop a person from bleeding, both internally and externally. He told a story about when he was a younger man and his boss’s daughter was in the hospital with internal bleeding from an accident. Doctors had been unable make it stop, but Mr. Townsend had stopped bleeding before and knew he could do it, so he asked his boss her name. He said all he needs is the person’s name, and he does not even have to be in the person’s presence. He conjured her bleeding without ever going to the hospital, and his boss said it saved her life. He also told a story about a woman at his church who had a large, painful boil of some kind on her leg, and he didn’t know if he could conjure it the same way he did warts or not, but he tried buying it from her, and it went away.
He said he is able to pass on his gift to someone he thinks is worthy and will use it properly.
