ESP misconceptions, part 2: ESP is a perfect, consistent sense

See my previous post: ESP misconceptions, part 1 Out of our innate abilities—sight, sound, touch, smell, taste and ESP—psychic sensitivity is the most subjective, and at least for me, inconsistent sense. This means when we receive messages—many that burst forth and last only a millisecond—we can easily misconstrue or discount them. Interpreting a message correctly [...]

Good Christians can believe in the paranormal

My definition of Christianity Anyone who believes Christ died for our sins and that Jesus is the son of God. It’s wrong to accuse differing denominations of being cults. One Bible verse haunted me As my life spun 180 degrees after GFH, a verse from Isaiah 8:19 worried my spiritual consciousness. How could God thrust [...]

The appreciated gift: the Goldfield Hotel ghosts

“Many ghost hunters take from the spirits, so this young man was unusual,” Virginia Ridgway, caretaker of the Goldfield Hotel, said over the phone with a slight Texas drawl. She spoke about a guitarist who asked to play for the GFH entities. “No one ever asks to do something for them.” I’d never really thought [...]

We are worthy

After GFH, God blessed me with an instantaneous, straight-out-of-the-New-Testament-type miracle. And how did I react, besides giddily dancing around? I asked, “Why did you pick me when there are others who deserve it more?” I’d questioned God’s judgment. How outrageous that I thought I knew better than Our Lord who deserves His attention. And what [...]

Inside moon: Virginia City’s Millionaire’s Club

In 2008, I again joined KTVN’s paranormal investigative team in Virginia City, Nevada, which is touted as one of the country’s most haunted cities. Our mission was to visit the decrepit Millionaire’s Club, perched atop the Old Washoe Club. Elite decadence reigned here. 1875. A high-class brothel. Casino. The dark politics of power reigned as [...]

Seven ways to encounter positive paranormal activity

What we don’t understand, we’re most likely to fear. Our prejudices against the Other World—whether spurred on by Hollywood horror movies or warnings from the pulpit—prevent us from experiencing productive, positive spirit encounters. Over the eight years that I’ve been involved in coordinating the Nevada Ghost and Paranormal Series, I’ve been fortunate to work with [...]

Running into walls? Change your path.

We all know the feeling of trying to reach a goal and repeatedly, frustratingly running into one barrier after another.  I believe our intuition can be instrumental in helping us select more productive paths in life. So why do we keep running into barriers? We possess free will. We have the right to pursue the [...]

Consequences of spending the night in a haunted hotel

A sleeping bag and pillow figured prominently among the belongings I hauled to Goldfield, Nevada. Honestly, I anticipated a snore-fest—a tedium of wandering long, Spartan halls and cloned guestrooms that would make any intelligent woman long for a good night’s sleep. But fate finds pleasure in pitching monkey wrenches at our expectations. Here are some [...]
