At one of my book talks last month, a woman said her husband didn’t believe in ghosts, even though she’d had some profound paranormal experiences. Believe me, I know it’s not easy when those closest to us don’t understand how supernatural encounters shape us. Not being able to openly discuss with partners, family members or [...]
Like our muscles, if we don’t use our intuition, it will weaken. I’ve found that the best first step to developing this ability is to pay attention to our surroundings. Here are some actions I’ve found helpful in nurturing my own growth: Learn what sounds, sights and smells are normal in your home What does [...]
Thanks to regular reader Kristin for suggesting this post. Can the acts of creating and inventing be divinely inspired and is it very common? I believe the answer is “yes.” For me, there’s no doubt A Reluctant Spirit’s wording was sent from above to me. As most of you know, I spent a year trying [...]
Thank you to regular reader ElizaBeth for requesting this topic. There are many reasons entities may be visiting us or residing in our earthly realm. Personally, I believe the majority of spirits are not stuck here, but, rather want to spend some time here from time to time. Here are some of the more common [...]
In my years running the Nevada Ghost and Paranormal Series, I’ve met many people who’ve told me intuitive abilities run in their families. While I ascribe to the belief that we all have some degree of extra sensory perception (ESP), I also think genetics and the environment we grow up in play major roles as [...]
To learn how to clear your personal space, see last week’s post “Clearing Your Space and Removing Stagnate Energy.” From time to time, people contact me about unnerving ghostly activity in their homes or offices and ask for advice on how to make it stop. Here’s what I share with them: First, I ask, “Are [...]
Curiosity. Consistent crankiness. Living in fear. A string of minor ailments. These can be indications of a need to clear your personal space. Whether you’ve picked up another person’s or spirit’s energy or you’ve just let yourself stagnate, it’s a good idea to cleanse yourself and/or your home. First of all, it’s important that [...]
Recently, a good friend of mine asked me to sit in the ICU waiting room with her while she awaited the outcome of her loved one’s surgery. She told me, “I wanted you here because God listens to you and he doesn’t listen to me.” This is so sad. And so wrong. I don’t have [...]
For me, I can go decades between déjà vu (French for “already seen”) experiences. Last month, I had a striking case of it while in downtown Reno’s Methodist Church. It was the first time I’ve had this sense of precognition since 2007 when I accompanied the KTVN news team to Goldfield. As that experience was [...]
The day after I wrote “Why are some people wildlife magnets?,” I sat on our back porch enjoying the sunshine when I noticed a light brown clump, about the size of a tennis ball, in our grass. I walked over to discover it was a sick, young sparrow that had fluffed up to stay warm. [...]
