On October 23, 1969, a child came into the world and straight into a life raging with difficulty.

Christina Boyer's mother was a drug addict, and when she found herself suddenly responsible for

another fragile human life,

she decided that she couldn't take care of it. When she was just a baby, the Franklin County

Children's Services removed Christina from her family home and sent her to live with John and Joan

Resch. By that point, John and Joan were experienced foster parents.

They were established within the community and became a home for over 250 children in need

throughout the years.

At one point, they even had six foster children living with them at once.

Christina was only about two years old when she moved into their busy,

but strict household. As she grew, she came to view the Resch's as her own family, and started

going by the name Tina Resch. But tragedy was not far on the horizon. When Tina was only 12 years

old, one of her older foster brothers began molesting her.

Like many victims, especially when their children, it took a while for Christina to find the

courage to confide in the people that she saw as her parents. But what she says happened then was

anything but the reaction a loving foster family would provide. Finally, I did tell

them, but they didn't believe me and slapped my face. Christina later said, and the trust between them all

was broken. Only two years later, Christina began talking about another strange and unnatural experience that she was having.

Experiences that she described as something like telekinesis.

According to Christina, whenever she got angry, upset, or had big emotions, objects around her would start moving on their own.

It was possible, Christina thought, that she had the supernatural ability to move things with her mind.

Or it was possible there was something else going on entirely.
