During a recent panel discussion that I moderated, I found some organized religions moored to fear, seemingly scaring their parishioners into submission. Once an evangelical, I constantly monitored my actions and thoughts for good Christian behavior. What I was told to do, I did. What my pastor said not to do, I didn’t. I was [...]
See my previous post, “Before you cast out that spirit, ask yourself a few questions.” After ruminating on the questions I posed last week, you should now have a better idea of what kind of action you want to take in regard to the haunting of your house. You have control over the entity. This [...]
Years ago, an evangelical friend cut me from her life after her pastor said I was destined for hell. Apparently, he believed I cavorted with Satan because I: Visited a Chinese acupuncturist for pain management treatments for chronic fatigue syndrome and neurally mediated hypotension; and Lived with a man, not married.

During the Nevada Ghost and Paranormal Series, I moderated “Religion and the Paranormal: A Panel Discussion” that featured a rabbi, evangelical pastor, Buddhist and Muslim. The pastor was likeable and passionate about his beliefs, which I respect. But, while listening to his Biblical take on the paranormal, I realized my different positions on the subjects [...]
Happy Halloween! In honor of this day, I thought I’d share a real-life ghost story that I witnessed just four weeks ago.
