She feels that any residule energy left by the cancer or sick friends negativity could attach itself to her, as the energy will attach to the vibrations of others, so she removes it. You will probably be able to find something, if not you could order online.
People leave their energy everywhere. While they are alive and after they die. So it will remain in the places you go, just like a bacteria or virus. And no it is not witch craft. These are actually practices that have even been mentioned in the Bible.
You don't have to be particularly religious, but I know, especially with what you went through, that you believe there is something more out there. I don't think too many people can survive a horrible illness and believe otherwise.
It is funny you say that about your house. I wish I could come walk through it as I have always been more intune with places. Shortly after I moved to Florida, I went with friends (I was a teenager at the time) to an old abandoned house. They just wanted to show me the hangout with the freaky reputation. Well I didn't know all about the house at the time, but I walked in and walked out. It was pure evil. Later I found out about the history of the house, a horrible kidnapping and rape, satanic riutals. Since, the county has torn the house down to keep vagrants out but you still can't drive by where it was without the dreadful feeling. I can't describe it more than that. You can also do it in the barn, just walk through it. After see how you feel. See if H's spewing doesn't calm down a little.
If you focus on the past, you ruin the future. You can only live for today.
