Ed Strachar Soundly Refutes the Story Put Out by TV New Zealand That Attempted to Disrepute Him Over Anna Godfrey’s Suicide Case Because He Exposed Their Witchcraft and Drugs
This story involves TVNZ (New Zealand), witchcraft, a deceased anchorman, and the highly controversial Anna Godfrey’s suicide case.

Published on April 22, 2025
Ed Strachar, a renowned spiritual healer, was closely connected to Anna Godfrey, who tragically decided to end her life. According to the official coroner’s draft report, the cause of Anna’s death was multiple drug toxicity (quetiapine, citalopram, zopiclone), with coronary artery atherosclerosis listed as a contributing factor. Her death was ruled self-inflicted—a result of suicide. These prescription drugs, known to carry severe side effects including increased suicidal thoughts, were provided by Dr. Kim Hurst of Upper Hutt, NZ, following consultations on July 18 and July 24, 2017. Anna Godfrey died by suicide just two days later, on July 26.
Verbatim from the Coroners Report
There are only two reasons why Anna would die as a result of multiple drug toxicity. One is that she took too much of the drugs by mistake. The other is that she took too much of the drugs deliberately with the intention of taking her life by suicide. When the two notes are considered together with the outcome of the post-mortem it is obvious that Anna’s death was a suicide.
These drugs are acknowledged by their manufacturers to have strong suicidal side effects, especially during early treatment. Despite Anna’s personal desire to avoid medication, her family insisted she consult a traditional medical doctor. Before this intervention, Ed Strachar had worked with her remotely and successfully guided her to withdraw from pharmaceutical drugs and return to wellness.
Strachar, who never met Anna in person, completed a full round of healing sessions with her via Skype and Facebook by March 2017. Following this, Anna Godfrey wrote a glowing testimonial praising Ed’s work, which she posted on her Facebook page (see: https://www.facebook.com/edstracharpublic/posts/1963077147164506). Her family later removed the post, along with all positive comments and evidence of her recovery—an action that raises serious concerns for a family allegedly seeking the truth.
Rather than questioning the general practitioner who prescribed these dangerous drugs, Anna’s family used Ed Strachar as a scapegoat. They stirred public hysteria, which caught the attention of TV New Zealand (TVNZ), a sensationalist “news” outlet that then produced a biased segment targeting Strachar. Despite his proven track record of healing over 1,000 individuals online—including children in orphanages across India, Nepal, and the Philippines—TVNZ attempted to portray him as a “supposed healer.”
Strachar believes the smear campaign was rooted in deeper, darker motivations. He strongly suspects that witchcraft played a role in Anna Godfrey’s spiritual and emotional targeting. According to Ed, witches use demonic entities the way security guards use attack dogs, and he believes Anna was being spiritually attacked by a local witch’s coven. He also suggests some family members may have unknowingly contributed to the dark energy surrounding Anna, noting that evil often manifests through chaos and blame.
With years of experience in detecting and clearing curses, spells, and negative energies, Ed Strachar believes his spiritual abilities made him a threat to those involved—and thus a primary target for discreditation. He affirms that Anna Godfrey’s suicide case was not only a tragedy but also a cover-up orchestrated to silence him.
The tension escalated dramatically when TVNZ’s reporter Janet McIntyre and producer Louisa Cleave became visibly disturbed during a conversation about the death of McIntyre’s husband, Keith Slater—a respected journalist who died from cancer. Ed sensed that witchcraft was also behind Keith Slater’s illness and death. After consulting with trusted psychics and spiritual teachers, Ed concluded that McIntyre and Cleave were not only aware of this but were complicit in it.
When Ed confronted them, he observed a flash of fear in McIntyre’s expression, suggesting she realized her secret was no longer hidden. Louisa Cleave, the “fair and balanced” producer, reacted aggressively and tried to shut the conversation down, preventing further exposure of their alleged agenda.
TVNZ had initially reached out to Ed Strachar in December 2018, expressing interest in covering his work. They claimed their story would be “fair and balanced.” However, during the interview, they never once mentioned Anna Godfrey’s testimonial, nor did they acknowledge any of the over 1,000 documented success stories from people Ed has helped worldwide. Instead, the final production reflected a deliberate attempt to distort, discredit, and deceive. It was not journalism—it was a calculated smear campaign.
In the end, Ed Strachar’s response to the Anna Godfrey suicide case and TV New Zealand’s witchcraft and drugs narrative serves as a bold defense against media manipulation and spiritual attacks—offering a powerful reminder of the deeper forces at play when truth threatens the status quo.
Anna Godfrey's Testimonial

Hi, I’m Anna Godfrey from New Zealand. I first heard of Ed Strachar through a lovely lady and special friend who started sharing his posts on Facebook last year when she became a client of his.
I watched with curiosity and read about the wonderful results people were getting after working with Ed and decided to make contact even though I felt very nervous about it.
All my life I have been searching for “something” and as the years went by I experienced increasing feelings of anxiety, worry and fear. I exhausted myself looking outside for the peace I was craving.
Whenever people asked “how are you” I would smile and say, as we do, “good thanks” but the truth was I didn’t feel good on the inside and had a constant inner battle going on.
I had my first session with Ed and after he removed negative energy that was attached to me I felt such a huge RELIEF to feel true inner peace, contentment and happiness.
A few days after the session I experienced fragments of light moving around in my vision which lasted about 10 minutes then cleared.
I asked Ed about it as I’ve never had anything like this before. He explained that it was my soul cleaning. How amazing is that?! Many of the numerous symptoms (physical and emotional) I had have either gone or are greatly reduced.
As I continue to work in the way Ed taught me I know they will continue to improve.
I have been able to stop the medications I was taking and as well as the emotional benefits I have experienced, I have also had great improvement and healing in my knee, elbow, foot, neck and shoulders.
These complaints had been with me for years and I have tried just about every treatment and remedy there is.
As others have said Ed empowers you to become your own master of your health and happiness. He has taught me how to bring myself back into balance. Now when people ask how I am, I can say “I’m great” and truly mean it.
Thank you Ed for your dedication and patience. You are a lovely man, a kind and caring soul and a dear friend. Much love and gratitude, Anna 💜
