Most wouldn’t consider it wise to walk alone down an alley at 1 a.m. and invite some scary fellow over to have a chat. So why do some ghost hunters engage in similarly risky behavior when they disregard the importance of protection and clearing? Over the years, I’ve seen it repeatedly: psychics and paranormal investigators [...]
It’s important to learn how to sense the spirits around you, so you can establish boundaries and retain control of your environment. Even without believing in these energies they may invade our space, affect our mood, health or sense of well-being. Photo courtesy of the New York Public Library. While it’s taken me [...]
While recently conducting research for a potential post, a fresh realization struck me: The after effects of people who had NDEs are similar to those I experienced after encountering the spirits of the Goldfield Hotel in central Nevada. Perhaps facing the paranormal altered my consciousness in a similar way, a navigation that showed me we [...]
Several years back, I was fortunate to be able to participate in a paranormal investigation in the Mizpah Hotel in Tonopah, Nev. prior to its grand reopening. My friend and I joined the WIGs (Women Investigating Ghosts) for an electronic voice phenomena (EVP) recording session in the Lady in Red’s room on the fifth floor. [...]
See my post on the signs of dream visitations. Here are the first of the stories so many of you have shared with me. Thank you to Jessica, Julie, Bryon and Joyce for sharing their experiences. I’ve edited for length and clarity to try to preserve their voice. Julie and her father My father passed [...]
Following this week's post, I've heard stories about the ingenious ways our departed loved ones (family, friends, pets) have contacted us. Whether it's leaving objects lying around in strange places, dreams or actual spirit contact, I'd love to hear your stories for an upcoming post. I believe that by sharing our stories, we can help others [...]
As most of you know, I began a unique spiritual odyssey when my boss asked me to work on our fledgling paranormal program. Over 14 years as the series manager, I’ve met astounding individuals and experienced mind-expanding activity that has enriched my life. If you live in the western U.S., consider attending some of the [...]
Spirits can manipulate our electronics to communicate their desires and opinions. I’ve had multiple unexpected episodes that usually present themselves as an instantaneous loss of battery charge. Of course, we must consider why a battery would die (other than from paranormal activity) such as from extreme cold, it’s old or expired, or it’s been drained [...]
One of my readers, Kendra,* shared that a Christian pastor had told her that her family had a multi-generational curse put on it. She believed this as many of her kin—parents, grandparents, great grandparents and more—had suffered hardships. The notion of a curse is hard for me to accept. Even so, decades ago, I worked [...]
At one of my book talks last month, a woman said her husband didn’t believe in ghosts, even though she’d had some profound paranormal experiences. Believe me, I know it’s not easy when those closest to us don’t understand how supernatural encounters shape us. Not being able to openly discuss with partners, family members or [...]
