Do you have an uninvited house ghost?
If you could read the energy in a home, would it make it harder to buy your first house? In my second book, Sightseeing in the Undiscovered Country, a family bought a charming old home but got more than they bargained for in the attic. Another family developed a warm relationship with the former departed […]
Where does consciousness reside?
As a journalist, I have always been fascinated by the life experiences of others. As a science writer, I have been equally intrigued by what researchers discover about the world around us. So, when I read a recent study by the University of Virginia exploring the origin of consciousness, it combined those magical elements of […]
What is a psychic bystander?
I’m a psychic bystander. That is, I’m surrounded by astonishingly gifted psychics, but I essentially have no particular abilities myself. Yes, I know that “everyone has the potential to be psychic.” I’ve heard that one, and even repeated it myself. But the fact is that while those around me see, hear and/or smell spectacular entities […]
Why do the departed hang around?
We often read about how blissful it is to go to the white light after death. So, if it’s so wonderful, why do the departed sometimes hang around? No one knows for sure, but I’ve read several theories. Psychic medium George Anderson suggests that many people don’t know they’re dead. Apparently, the transition from life […]
How are the dead involved in our lives?
Have you ever wondered if, following death, people you know—or don’t know—are hanging around, nosily following your life? Do dead people, as one best-selling author once asked, watch us shower? Several psychic mediums I’ve interviewed suggest that the answer may be yes. They add that when our loved ones die, they continue to have an avid interest […]
Can you feel the energies of the dead?
I remember many years ago when I was a student at the University of South Carolina, a bunch of us loaded into a car and decided we would visit the state penitentiary graveyard nearby. Why? I don’t know. I guess college kids do strange things. We were told that this particular cemetery was where men […]
Are there reunions on the other side?
When we die, it’s been suggested that our relatives and friends are waiting for us on the Other Side. Many psychics I’ve interviewed have described this reception as a big reunion party. After being separated from loved ones for years, sometimes decades, we are finally reunited with them, and it’s a joyous occasion. Psychic medium […]
Are children’s invisible playmates imaginary or real?
It’s been said that children and the elderly are more likely to see departed loved ones and friends on the Other Side because they have one foot in our earthly world and one foot in the hereafter. The young have just stepped into the physical plane and the elderly will soon be leaving. I remember […]
Do past lives create current phobias?
Many years ago, I had a client who specialized in past-life regression. That’s where a person is hypnotized and taken back to experience their past lives. Practitioners believe that people, after death, are reborn and live again, learning something new in each lifetime that helps their soul evolve. This notion is the basis of reincarnation. […]
