It’s an October evening in Southwest Harbor, Maine, and it’s surprisingly warm. We’re staying in a cottage on the grounds of the historic Claremont Hotel that closed for the season three days earlier. Only seven of us guests, scattered throughout a handful of houses, remain at the spacious facility, which opened in 1884. I step [...]
Once we’re able to recognize the energies around us, we have a responsibility to assist those in need. Spirits may be in our realm for many reasons, including visiting loved ones or traveling to sites that hold fond memories. Some may be here seeking closure or help to cross over. One of my favorite historical [...]
See last week’s post on “Handling the energies around you.” Prevent intentional/unintentional energy vampires from impacting you People may or may not know they’re draining you. Some are going through difficult times and all they see is that they feel better when they’re around you. When you’re aware someone is siphoning your energy, imagine a [...]
A few weeks ago, I wrote about protection from unseen entities, especially when investigating the paranormal. What I need more help with, though, is preserving my own energy from the people—both those I know and strangers—whom I encounter in my daily life. If you are sensitive, chances are that you don’t like large groups. The [...]

When engaging the spirit world, it’s imperative to protect yourself from lower, darker energies. The sheer act of paranormal investigating invites spirits to our realm, so we need to ensure our well-being. I’ve known some in the field who believe they’re immune to any ghostly attempts at invading their space. Unfortunately, their ego tells them [...]

A part of the annual Nevada Ghost and Paranormal Series, this class is great for those who are empathic, seeking spirit interaction or ghost hunters. My goals are to help you: [...]
It’s hard to believe I’ve been involved in the coordination of the college’s supernatural program for 15 years! As usual, you can select from a variety of investigative, spiritual, intuitive development and history classes this September and October in Reno, Virginia City and Carson City, Nevada. Kathleen to present “Attracting Positive Energies” on Wed., Sept. [...]
When I realize I'm stuck in a rut, I seek any clue to lift me out of it and propel me onward. Many times, I'm afraid I won't be paying enough attention and an important opportunity will pass me by. But it won't. If we are open to change and growth (and even sometimes when [...]
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.
