Some Christian denominations teach that all paranormal is evil, to discourage their flocks from dabbling with ghosts. This thinking is flawed as ignorance does nothing to prevent supernatural activity. Believing spirits don’t exist won’t protect you. Once, I lived in a condo where I frequently woke to find a shadow person standing by my bed. [...]
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. I was shocked my [...]
This is the second of two posts on my response to the Nevada Ghost and Paranormal Series’ “Religion and the Paranormal: A Panel Discussion,” which featured an evangelical pastor.

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 [...]
When Pride Hansen, owner of Metaphysical Learning Center in Reno, approached me about teaching a spirit identification class for the ghost series I manage, I admit I’d never given much thought to the idea of diverse entities in the spirit world. Here's what I learned. Angels Years ago, I’d thought angels only existed in the Bible [...]
Recently, I participated in my second investigation of the Old Washoe Club/Millionaire’s Club in Virginia City, Nevada. Read my post “Inside Moon” about my 2008 visit there. In the late 1800’s, the upper stories of the Washoe housed the exclusive Millionaire’s Club—a bastion of the Comstock Lode’s rich and influential—where power deals had been forged [...]
After watching “Stir of Echoes” starring Kevin Bacon, one of my regular blog readers asked me to look into the connection between hypnosis and psychic abilities. In the movie, Bacon's character, Tom, becomes psychic after his sister-in-law hypnotizes him. Viewers learn at the end of the movie that Tom had been very intuitive as a [...]
