Recently, my friend, Jeff, found a 1988 video clip of me. Initially, I laughed at my mega-sized eyeglasses and big, curly hair. But, a realization hit me soon after: this was the pre-illness Kathy just 15 months before being stricken with Post-Viral Neurasthenia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Little did she know that soon she’d be [...]
For decades, I struggled with the concept of the Christian Trinity, the three entities of the Most Divine: God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit—and how they are separate yet unified. Strangely enough, it took a radio interview to clarify my belief in this mysterious triad. While interviewing me about my memoir, “A Reluctant Spirit,” the [...]
Thank you to Sharon Leong for guest writing this post. Sharon and her sister, Anne, are co-technology directors for the San Francisco Ghost Society. They’ll be teaching “How Spirits Engage Us” at the 2015 Nevada Ghost and Paranormal Series on Oct. 10. What can you do to increase your chances of capturing the paranormal in [...]
God’s divine energy—what I consider to be the Holy Spirit—permeates all creation from the horned toad basking in the sun to the child swaying on a swing. Once I realized this, my view of others and how I valued God’s “lesser” critters changed. No matter how different each form of life is, the Great I [...]
A man, the lone-survivor of a shipwreck, was floating in the sea, clinging to debris. He prayed to God to save him. Shortly after that, a boat came by and the occupants offered him a ride. The man declined, saying, “I’m waiting for God to save me.” He continued to plea to God to spare [...]
Recently, a man posted on a Facebook group I manage, inviting anyone to come to his home to investigate paranormal activity. I was surprised that someone would ask those he knew nothing about to his abode. It’s not like we’re bonded and licensed contractors. And, while most ghost hunting teams are legitimate, each has its [...]
Thanks to regular reader, Holly, for suggesting this topic. Many times as an adult, I’ve wished I’d been more aware of my psychic sensitivity as a child, so that I could’ve strengthened this sense and been more attuned to my surroundings. “Children are usually very aware of the energy around them,” said Gail Hansen, psychic, [...]
The old sticks and stones adage about words not hurting us doesn’t seem to apply in today’s society. People get hurt or mad by terms they hear, inadvertently fueling that negativity by their responses and rewarding those who attempt to marginalize us. Don’t counter negativity with additional negativity While I don’t condone hurtful speech, I [...]
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 [...]
