Episode Teaser :00

Intro 1:10

Patrick has recovered from a crazy first week of teaching music to middle school students in the year of 2020. 1:52

About this recording of the LIVE panel discussion on Spiritual Bypassing that Patrick hosted on Facebook back on June 28, 2020. This was about a month after the killing of George Floyd here in the US. 3:10

Patrick is joined in the parlor by Amber Choisella, Ash Riley, and Brian Smith, all former guests of the Big Seance. 5:10

The social media promotion of a video that inspired this conversation. The video was of a medium who claimed to have channelled George Floyd. 5:37

What is Spiritual Bypassing? 7:45

Shadow Work and what intuitive mediums need to understand. 9:00

Ego 10:38

The duality of light and dark, plus jumping on what’s trending. 11:10

The harmful message from the medium in video that inspired the conversation. 14:00

Too soon? 15:54

End the silence. Call out Spiritual Bypassing when you see it. Call out Racism when you see it. 18:20

“In order for an unhealthy or toxic relationship to be healed, the partner in the most power, the one leading the direction of the relationship, or the one who should be leading, has to recognize that there has been injury and take the initiative to reconcile the harm that has been done. This is not because they are better, smarter or more capable. It is simply because they find themselves with the moral responsibility of creating healing. So as a White man, I have to be the one to take that lead.” — John Wineland 20:00

Unresolved wounds and shadow work in mental health and therapy 21:48

Patrick’s learning experiences and being a part of organizing a Black Voices Matter march and rally this year. 25:18

Grief and Spiritual Bypassing 29:35

The delicate balance between being informed and unplugging. 31:13

“Because that’s not what a good Christian does.” 35:07

A lack of empathy. “If we were able to start looking at the world through a more trauma-informed view, we would be able to recognize toxicity much easier.” — Ash Riley 37:35

Mental health and stigma 42:15

Fear and Danger. There’s no bad emotion. 43:40

Ibram X. Kendi and the Antiracist 44:35

Feminism and the “Mother Wound” 46:43

How do we fix it? 49:26

The “Syzygy.” What?! Plus toxic masculinity. 50:18

Can Gen Z fix all of our mistakes? 52:55

Listen and then get engaged! 56:22

The positive changes that have been happening worldwide since the killing of George Floyd. 58:57

In this episode:

Intro :00

Patrick recently discovered the work of Hadley Vlahos (@NurseHadley on TikTok and other social media) and her book, The In-Between: Unforgettable Encounters During Life’s Final Moments. After sharing an image of Nurse Hadley’s book, as well as an essay from Insider.com titled, “I've studied more than 5,000 near death experiences. My research has convinced me without a doubt that there's life after death”, listeners had lots to say and were very interested in the topic! Patrick took the hint and immediately booked Nurse Hadley for an interview, which is coming next week! :48

While waiting for Nurse Hadley’s episode, let’s look look back at highlights from two different related episodes, both from 2017. 2:54

 

 

Highlights from episode 106 - Physicians’ Untold Stories with Dr. Scott J. Kolbaba. 4:03

Are the tides turning in the battle between skeptic and believer? 14:54

Patrick was touched by several international stories from the book involving powerful stories from communities in need. 15:53

Do more ghosts or spirits reside in hospitals? Has Dr. Kolbaba seen them? 22:47

A puff of smoke as spirits leave the body. 26:03

Are we seeing spirits all the time, but they seem so very real that we don’t notice? 27:09

Do people report having negative spiritual experiences? 28:24

Final thoughts and where to find more information and the book. 30:39

 

 

Highlights from episode 110 - Grief Dreams with Joshua Black. 32:25

Support for the bereaved, dogma, and being open to talking about grief dreams. 40:10

Working with grieving children, dream recall, and more on dogma. 43:53

Some people get concerned when they don’t recall having a grief dream. Are they just not remembering them? Plus increasing your dream recall. 44:40

Our loved ones don’t always make an appearance in grief dreams. 55:54

Patrick shares his first visitation dream. Also, why do some people receive these dreams and some people never do? 57:55

What happens when a dreamer has negative grief dreams? 1:01:10

Learn to love and be kind to ourselves, more dream examples, and dreaming about the afterlife. Plus final thoughts and words of wisdom from Joshua. 1:05:38

Remember the myth of tampered candy and razor blades in apples?

Divination games played on Halloween in the Victorian time period, including waiting for your future love by staring in a mirror (not creepy at all, right?), and the "dumb supper".

21 Sep 2023231 - Think You Understand Twin Flames? Medium Claire Broad Demystifies the Concept! - Big Seance01:02:01

 

Medium, spiritual teacher, and bestselling author Claire Broad, returns to convince you that the romanticized concept of twin flames or twin souls is NOT what you think they are. It’s just one chapter out of her book, Heaven Sent: Soul Lessons from the Afterlife, but it’s such a huge topic, which sometimes seems to be polarizing in the spiritual community, so we devoted an entire episode to it! Visit BigSeance.com/231 for more info.

In this episode:

Intro :00

Claire Broad is a medium, spiritual teacher and bestselling author. She gave her first message from the spirit world to a relative at the age of 4 and began developing her ability as a medium from the age of 21. She is accredited as a registered and approved medium with the Institute of Spiritualist Mediums and has built a strong reputation for being deeply spiritually aware, whilst maintaining a down to earth, honest, compassionate approach to her work. Claire resides in Fleet, Hampshire in England. :48

Claire’s new book is called, Heaven Sent: Soul Lessons from the Afterlife. 1:40

Twin Flames. Did your eyes just roll back in your head? Patrick’s did too! But sit back, because if you thought you knew all about the concept of twin flames, you’re probably wrong! 2:40

Claire was recently featured as a speaker on Howard Hughes’ first cruise! So was Dr. Melvyn Willin, a former guest from episode 145 in 2019. Howard Hughes is an award-winning UK based broadcaster and journalist and he hosts The Unexplained with Howard Hughes. 4:17

Claire says she is no longer the person she was when she spoke to us last in 2019! Her life changed after having a profound and surreal experience where she met energy healer, Gyles Whitnall. They both now recognize each other as their own twin flame. 6:43

Soul mates are not twin flames. 9:45

Meeting Gyles triggered a Kundalini awakening in Claire. 10:58

“So when I talk about twin souls or twin flames, I’m not talking about romance. That’s for romantic soul mates.” 14:25

Other mediums were approaching Claire with a knowing that Claire had met her twin flame. 15:02

“And I, for the first time, experienced my absolute knowing that I am an eternal consciousness, and that Gyles and I had the exact same frequency, same soul energy, and he was my mirror counterpart. He’s so different from me.” 16:15

“I’ve got to let people know that a twin soul is the the way that universe manifests the soul in to physical embodiment.” 17:40

“No one is special here. We are all twinned.” 18:10

Claire says that if you meet your twin flame, it’s going to turn your life upside down, and that most people aren’t successful in holding the relationship together. 19:40

The synchronicities between Claire and Gyles. 20:45

More on the soul connections that Claire wrote about in her book, Heaven Sent. 23:00

Health problems, businesses going under, families and relationships falling apart. These are some of the complications that one could experience when meeting your twin flame. “Anything where there is something that you need to work on and heal, because you recognize, I haven’t yet mastered why I’m here.” 25:36

“If you meet your twin flame, you will start to understand how we are all one.” 28:45

Life partners vs romantic soul mates. 29:03

Twin flames won’t necessarily model a traditional romantic pairing. They are sometimes between a gay man and a straight man, two straight women, and often with large age gaps. “It’s going to trigger both people to really evaluate true, unconditional love and who they really are.” Twin flames are not likely to be in the same family. 31:41

Throughout different lifetimes, you always have the same twin flame. You might not necessarily meet them in this lifetime, and that’s okay. 34:44

As twin flames, Claire and Gyles now work together spiritually as a team. 37:10

“And whatever soul connection you are in, it’s divine. We cannot put these soul connections above each other. They are totally equal because we are all one and the same.” 38:10

White Feather, Claire’s guide, helped and guided her through all of this. 38:36

How often do twin flames meet? When does it happen? 41:36

“[If you haven’t met your twin flame], no one has done anything wrong, because you just may not, in this lifetime, want that experience, or need that experience, or be ready for that experience.” 43:15

Tips and things to look for from the book. 45:58

Patrick jokes and wonders, when you think you’ve met your twin flame, is there the risk of a restraining order? “[In] twin souls, there is no way the other person isn’t experiencing it. You can see it unfolding in the other one. It definitely takes bravery to say, ‘how are you experiencing what’s going on here?’, and not everybody is ready for that conversation.” 48:30

“They’re always unconditionally loving. Your twin soul will never hurt you on purpose. Ever. They can’t. They’re you. But as you separate, it’s because it’s needed as both go on their ways to try and heal. And if you are in separation from your twin soul, it’s really starting to understand [that] this is in my best interest. I need this.” “The reason that twin soul connections are so hard, is they will show you everything that isn’t whole within yourself, just by being themselves, because they’re the complete opposite to you. So where they have strengths, you have weakness, and vice versa. And they’re literally mirroring back at you where the work needs to be, for both of you. So you pull each other up, you see. Or you drag each other up, is probably a better term.” 51:29

Final thoughts and details about the book, Heaven Sent. 53:04

Patrick reflects back on some funny stories Claire has shared with us in her interviews over the years. 55:17

More final thoughts and where to find Claire. 57:41

Outro 58:50

30 May 2016Podcast Awards Announcement! Daily Votes are Needed!00:02:15

Hey #Paranerds!

As you may know, thanks to many of you, we have found our way onto the final slate of nominees for the Science and Medicine category of the People’s Choice Podcast Awards! It is such an honor to even be on that list, and I want to sincerely thank those of you who nominated us a while back. 

Your help is needed, because votes from YOU, the listener, the #paranerd, will determine the winner.

Voting is now open, and ends on June 12th. You can vote EVERY DAY by going to PodcastAwards.com. As I mentioned in the video I shared online, if you have friends who would love to help us by voting, or even sharing the video, for that matter, that would be awesome. Maybe they’ll find a new podcast to listen to in the process, even if it’s not the Big Séance. That is one of the cool bonuses of the podcast awards… it promotes this growing medium. In the video, I decided to include highlights of past guests and episodes from the last 2 years. It was kind of fun.

So just to recap, go to PodcastAwards.com today (and if you’re REALLY a #paranerd, every day until June 12th, 2016.) And as always, vote or no vote, my #paranerds rock.

Thank you.

Patrick

Episode Teaser :00

Intro :43

In 1993, Disney released a film called Hocus Pocus. Though it starred Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy, it was pretty much considered a flop at the time. Since then, many audiences have discovered the film, and it can be found on cable, playing pretty much non-stop in October. It truly is a cult favorite now! Partly filmed around Salem in New England, partly filmed on a sound stage, it was directed by Kenny Ortega. Our guest for this episode, David Kirschner, was one of the film’s producers, but was also the creator and writer of the story. He pitched the whole idea. Wait till you hear how the whole thing came about. And the new sequel we’re dying to hear about? He’s executive producer. Even if you haven’t seen Hocus Pocus, you know David’s work, if you’ve seen a Chucky doll or seen Child’s Play. He began his career working with Jim Henson’s Muppets and Sesame Street. He wrote and illustrated the series of children’s books known as Rose Petal Place. In 1986, Kirschner created and executive produced, with Steven Spielberg, the smash hit, An American Tail, which became one of the most successful animated films in history. 1:24

It all started as a bedtime story! 3:40

Bette Midler 7:13

That “E.T. kind of cry.” The Ghost and Mrs. Muir and the inspiration for the final scene in Hocus Pocus. 9:45

The Halloween nostalgia and memories of David’s childhood are the foundation of Hocus Pocus. 12:23

“They were magical years. They were the kind of years that you could go out on your bike and be gone all day and not end up on the back of a milk carton.” 15:01

Halloween in Los Angeles. 16:23

A billion dollar industry. 20:26

Working with Kenny Ortega. 21:39

07 Jan 201525 - 9 Tips to Keep the Paranormal Alive in Your Life Throughout the Winter - The Big Séance Podcast00:25:51

Call the show (775) 583-5563!

 

Suffering from the winter blahs? Cabin fever starting to kick in? The winter tends to be a time when many paranerds out there, struggle to find enough paranormal activity or content to keep them happy. If you’re truly one of these nerds, the autumn/Halloween season just isn’t enough to keep you going for the rest of the year. For some, the days seem longer, even though they’re shorter, and maybe you're longing for fall once again… or at least spring. Well I’m here to get you out of that funk with 9 tips to keep the paranormal alive in your life throughout the winter.

 

Visit BigSeance.com for show notes.

 

In this episode:

Tip #1: Find a good book on a paranormal, spiritual, or metaphysical topic… or even just a good ghost story!
 
Here are 4 recent books that I’ve read and can recommend to you: 
  1. "Reunions: Visionary Encounters with Departed Loved Ones" - Raymond Moody
  2. "Paranormal: My Life in Pursuit of the Afterlife" – Raymond Moody
  3. "The Spirit of Creativity: Embodying Your Soul’s Passion" - Karen A. Dahlman
  4. "Soul Sensing: How to Communicate With Your Dead Loved Ones" - Janice Carlson

I’m currently Reading "Soul-to-Soul Connections: Comforting Messages from the Spirit World", by future guest, Carole J. Obley. 

 
If you’re looking for a more detailed list of book recommendations and reviews, you can check out my Recommended Reading page. I’m very often adding to and updating that list. 
 
 
Tip #2: Plan and hold a séance with a small group of friends! 
 
Tip #3: Consider reading a how-to book on something like channeling, meditating, Ouija, Tarot, Astral Travel, EVP, or another equally interesting topic.
 
By the way, I plan on producing a kind of “how-to EVP" episode sometime soon. I know quite a few people who have talked about giving it a try, or have expressed interest in learning how to go about it. And I know these folks would be great at it and get a lot out of it. So stay tuned. And maybe you could let me know if you’re one of those people. Get in touch with me. 
 
 
Tip #4: Find a cozy place to stay for the weekend. It doesn’t even have to be haunted. It certainly helps if the place has some interesting history to it, or maybe it just looks haunted!
 
  • Probably just about every region has a few cute bed and breakfasts. 
  • How about the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado? 
  • Or how about the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas?
  • Or the famous Lemp Mansion here in St. Louis?
 
Tip #5: Watch an old black and white spooky movie… or two or three. And I have a few suggestions:
 
 
Listener Feedback!
 
  • A Big THANK YOU to some wonderful listeners who have written kind reviews in iTunes!
  • Some exciting news and an update on a psychic development circle started by Marion, a medium and listener from the UK! 
 
Tip #6: Start an interesting or vintage collection, perhaps one that causes you to dig into some history or genealogy.
 
 
Tip #7: Visit an old Cemetery with a camera (especially after a pretty snow!) 
 
 
Tip #8: Start a Grave Adoption project.
 
  • If you listened to Episode #11 from September 4, 2014, I suggested that listeners consider starting a new fall tradition of adopting graves.  

 

Tip #9: Invite a paranormal investigation team into your home or a friend’s home and convince them to let you help investigate!

Visit BigSeance.com for more show notes.

 

Today’s guest is one of your favorites. Her first interview on the Big Séance Podcast was all the way back to episode 5. She was then co-host for episode 17, which was one of our special Halloween episodes, and she had contributions in episodes 19 and 24. Today she gets the stage, once again, all by herself, though it’s a different book this time. We’re going to be talking about her first book, The Spirit of Creativity: Embodying Your Soul’s Passion.

Karen A. Dahlman is an author, licensed therapist, business owner & consultant and a leading expert Ouija-ologist. She has been researching the use of the Ouija Board since 1973 by first-handedly using and perfecting her communication with varying consciousness and sentient beings via this tool with consistently amazing results!

Having a strong, spiritual connection to her spirit friends, as she has throughout her entire life, she teaches others within her books about the positive benefits of using the Ouija Board and other creative means as a pathway for expanding and deepening one’s world and expression within it in the most profound ways.

From working in the creative and humanistic field as a private practice art psychotherapist and then more recently as the CEO of a consulting and design firm in the high tech wireless industry, she found herself coming full circle within her career, from right brain to left brain to center brain. Karen strives to maintain a balance of her total brain within her heart.

She endeavors to help others deepen into their unique possibilities found only within their heart, so that they too may discover their own empowerment to affect personal growth, their spiritual evolution, and a passionate expression of their calling. Karen shares her developed processes for doing this within her books.

 

In this episode:

  • Karen’s work and background with creativity 4:15
  • So what role did the Ouija play in writing this book? 16:47
  • “Our own beliefs and the beliefs we hold about others or about life in general can affect us.”
    So how do we move beyond those limiting beliefs? 25:05
  • “Life is a process.” “Happiness is found in the path, not the destination.” 29:05
  • Karen on creativity and chaos 33:41
  • Chaos and soul contracts 38:39
  • Sleepwalking through life. How do we know if we are? 42:38
  • Meditation, Self-hypnosis, Dreams, and Trans-Awareness 50:05
  • What led Karen to what she’s doing now? Why these specific writings? Why Ouija? 1:04:07
  • What’s coming up for Karen? OuijaCon! New book coming soon! 1:09:18

18 Nov 2023238 - Pearl Curran and the Mysterious Story of Patience Worth - Big Seance00:43:40

 

Patrick revisits the mysterious story of Pearl Curran (1883 - 1937), the Saint Louis housewife who between 1913 and 1937, channeled entire books and other works from a spirit known as Patience Worth, and mostly through the Ouija board. Visit BigSeance.com/238 for more info.

In this episode:

Intro :00

Patrick is planning for an upcoming speaking engagement and was looking back to some of the early episodes of the podcast. He was reminded of a short episode he produced about Pearl Curran and Patience Worth. :57

Patrick reads portions of “Patience Worth: Author From the Great Beyond” by Gioia Diliberto for Smithsonian Magazine from September of 2010. 2:20

“Speaking through a Ouija board operated by Pearl Lenore Curran, a St. Louis housewife of limited education, Patience Worth was nothing short of a national phenomenon in the early years of the 20th century. Though her works are virtually forgotten today, the prestigious Braithwaite anthology listed five of her poems among the nation’s best published in 1917, and the New York Times hailed her first novel as a ‘feat of literary composition.’ Her output was stunning. In addition to seven books, she produced voluminous poetry, short stories, plays and reams of sparkling conversation—nearly four million words between 1913 and 1937. Some evenings she worked on a novel, a poem and a play simultaneously, alternating her dictation from one to another without missing a beat.” 4:36

“The Patience Worth case remains one of the most tantalizing literary mysteries of the last century, a window onto a vanished era when magic seemed to exist because so many people believed in it. In the decades since Pearl Curran’s death, in 1937, no one has explained how she produced Patience’s writing.” 8:32

“At first Pearl spelled out every letter with the Ouija board, but as time passed, the mere touch of her hand on the pointer loosed a flood of spoken words. Eventually, she abandoned the board entirely; a feeling of slight pressure in her head would announce Patience’s arrival, and Pearl would begin reciting.” 15:28

Check out the book, The Patience of Pearl: Spiritualism and Authorship in the Writings of Pearl Curran by Daniel B. Shea. 18:23

Looking back at episode 32 of the Big Seance Podcast from 2015, where Patrick reads the article, “Ghostwriter and Ghost: The Strange Case of Pearl Curran & Patience Worth” by Ed Simon, from The Public Domain Review. 18:47

Two Moms and a Baby from the article, “Ouija poet Patience Worth: 100 years and many moons later”, by Jane Henderson, from the St. Louis Post Dispatch. 35:58

Outro 17:23

 

If you didn’t already know, I’m a very nostalgic person. I’m constantly being taken back to an earlier time by a smell, a taste, sometimes a sound, and sometimes at the most random times and places… and I love it. I don’t know if nostalgia is exactly the right term for this, but I think it is a gift to be grateful for. I don’t mean a gift like having psychic abilities, or playing an instrument, but I really love nostalgic moments and I’m always encouraging my senses to catch a ride and take advantage of them. But I’m so very grateful for them, because I was fortunate enough to have a great childhood with an amazing family, and I feel like life would be kind of sad without tiny little breaks for a road trip to the past to re-experience some of those great moments.

When I was little, I used to spend quite a bit of time with my grandparents at their house. I called them Bamma and Bampa, and I still do. For a while, my Bamma had a fabric shop that I would also spend time in. I loved helping her clean things and organize merchandise, even though I’m not sure I was truly as much help as I thought I was. I can still hear the sound of Bamma’s sewing machine running and the soap operas on the TV in the background. It’s funny, but seeing older daytime TV commercials from that time period will put me right back in the fabric shop too.

When I think of my time with Bamma and Bampa in their old house from that time, I think of holidays. I think of different ways my Bamma would entertain me and keep me busy. One of the funny and strange things I always think about is Peanut Butter and mayonnaise sandwiches. I know I know. Peanut Butter and Mayonnaise sandwiches. My Bampa, who died several years ago, would make them for me. Apparently he used to eat them as a kid, and I always assumed it was a German thing. I did learn to love them at the time, though the thought of eating one now makes my stomach turn.

Well cut to a week or so ago. I discovered we have this channel on cable called Antenna TV! Apparently it has been around for a year or two and I had no clue. There are SO many shows and sitcoms from the 70s and 80s on this channel, and if you’re not careful, you can find yourself skipping a night’s sleep just to watch them. But that night I found myself sucked into an old episode of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson! I loved Johnny Carson growing up, probably only because it was a special moment to be able to stay up that late. I watched Johnny Carson at my own house growing up plenty of times, but for some reason the other night I was picking up serious nostalgia watching Johnny… and it took me back to Bamma and Bampa’s house. In this particular episode, Cass Elliott would make one of her last public appearances before her tragic death from a heart attack, and she was talking to Johnny about health issues she was having involving her heart, but she didn’t seem to be taking it too seriously. Such a haunting moment.

But also on this episode, Johnny was interviewing the hilarious Buddy Hackett. Coming and going from commercial as the familiar theme song would play, I was taken back to my Bamma and Bampa’s house. And I was in my mom’s old bedroom trying to sleep. And in this memory I was hearing them watch Johnny Carson on the other side of the wall in the living room. Suddenly Johnny and Buddy Hackett make two references to Peanut Butter and Mayonnaise sandwiches, and how the mayonnaise helps the peanut butter go down easier.

Amazing, right? How often do you hear someone bring up peanut butter and mayonnaise in the same sentence?

So I’ve told myself that this moment of nostalgia was orchestrated by my Bampa… a Hello from the other side.

An interesting side note to this story is that within the same week of having this experience, my mom saw a local psychic here in Missouri, one whose name I keep hearing about. Well my mom can’t stop talking about the connections and validations from this amazing reading… and one of the biggest messages that came through was from my Bampa.

Another interesting side note goes back to the reading I received from Dena DeCastro in our first Astrology episode. Do you remember her saying that I’d be having more paranormal experiences soon?

I know you all have to have had similar experiences. Some of you are highly intuitive, and some of you have abilities most of us don’t have, and so I’m sure there are lots of stories out there. Feel free to jump in the Big Séance Parlor on Facebook and share… or contact me!

J. Allen Cross (Oregon) is a practicing Folk Witch and paranormal investigator. He serves as psychic-medium and occult specialist on a well-known investigative team out of the Portland metro area. He enjoys working as a consultant for other teams and spiritual workers, exploring haunted and abandoned places, and writing about the paranormal. 2:27

Paranormal work from a distance. 4:58

Book description for The Witch's Guide to the Paranormal. 5:45

This book is a foundation for those of us who are sometimes seen as a resource, or the “spooky friend.” 6:42

Common misconceptions that witches have about paranormal investigation. “I’ve actually been kind of surprised by the reaction from witches when I bring up paranormal investigation around them, because I find that they have two really big misconceptions, and the first one is that all of them seem to think that paranormal investigation is something that happens specifically on TV and only for TV.” 7:59

“A lot of these spirits aren’t happy where they are.” “Sometimes you have paranormal activity because they are trying to get someone’s attention, because they need some assistance, or they need some sort of help.” 9:05

“They’re not meant to be on this side.” “You always have to side with the living.” 10:13

Getting real about poltergeist activity. 12:05

Simple Magic 13:10

The EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) Ceremony 14:01

“I love a good liminal space.” A new book! 33:52

J’s most treasured possession. 35:05

J is co-host of the Invoking Witchcraft podcast! Plus Nicholas Pearson and crystals! 36:07

“There is no one better than witches to serve as referees between the spirits and living humans.” Final thoughts from J. Allen Cross! 38:25

A special THANK YOU to Patreon supporters at the Super Paranerd and Parlor Guest level! 41:08

Do not get distracted by the noise, and to know that Creator’s got this. And that we’re so much more incredibly loved and supported than what we could ever imagine, and that everything’s going to be fine.” 42:45

Intro :00

Adam Berry is the executive producer and star of his own paranormal reality television show on the Travel Channel called Kindred Spirits (now in its seventh season). His other TV credits include Reunion in Hell, Haunted Salem: Live, Kindred Spirits: Resurrected, Paranormal Lockdown, Expedition Unknown: Search for the Afterlife, Ghost Hunters, Ghost Hunters Halloween Live, Ghost Hunters Academy, Pickler & Ben, the Anderson Cooper show, and Weekend Today, among others. After growing up in a haunted house and years of study and research, he founded his own paranormal research team with his husband, Ben Berry, in Provincetown, MA, and soon after his hobby became a career. He has traveled the country extensively giving lectures in theaters and at conferences and conventions on paranormal investigation and supernatural phenomena. He is a graduate of the Boston Conservatory. :46

Let’s talk about Goodbye Hello 9:37

The Upstairs Lounge fire and its place in LGBTQ+ history. (Book mentioned: Let the F*gg*ts Burn: The Upstairs Lounge Fire by Johnny Townsend) 13:25

More on recharging and winding down after investigations. 32:00

“Sometimes you want to watch that movie that depresses you so good, you know? Like it makes you have a good cry, or what ever it is, right? And you want to stay in that feeling, because you’re alive. It makes you feel alive.” For Patrick, this might be Girl Interrupted. For Adam it’s Dancer in the Dark with Bjork, and it is Patrick’s homework assignment.

28 Sep 2023232 - Astrologer Dena DeCastro and the Upcoming October Eclipses - Big Seance00:50:54

 

Astrologer Dena DeCastro returns to tell us how we can take advantage of two upcoming October eclipses to benefit our lives. In this interview, we learn that eclipses are not rare. We also learn why an eclipse is such a great device to use in Hollywood. According to Dena, “There is a spooky, supernatural quality to the whole idea of an eclipse. Something is literally being interrupted [in] the natural order, and it’s a moment of pause. And you can look at that and be kind of spooked out, or you can look at it and say, ‘Wow! Isn’t that the coolest thing ever, and I’m going to ride with that energy and do something productive with it.’” Visit BigSeance.com/232 for more info.

In this episode:

Intro :00

Dena DeCastro is an astrologer and author in Portland, Oregon. She has been a counseling astrologer for over twenty years and has been teaching astrology since the mid 2000s. She received her astrological training through Steven Forrest’s Apprenticeship Program, and holds two Master’s Degrees. Her articles have been featured in The Mountain Astrologer magazine, and she has appeared on many podcasts and local radio shows over the years. She also hosted The Sirius Astrology Podcast (2007-2014), one of the first astrology podcasts. In 2021, Dena and fellow astrologer Katie Sloan created the Let’s Get Real Astrology podcast, which they co-host. She currently provides individual readings, as well as mentorship for those who want to learn astrology. Her new book, Foundations of Astrology: A Workbook for Beginners is available on Amazon and via her website denadecastro.com. :51

The last time Dena was on the show, Patrick pushed her into appearing LIVE for the first time. Has she been LIVE since? 2:42

Looking back on Dena’s forecast for 2022, and a reminder that she does not predict the future in her astrology work! 5:05

A discussion on the unusual 1980 Horror/Fantasy Disney film, The Watcher in the Woods, starring Bette Davis, which features some really fascinating and dramatic eclipse themes. 7:20

Let’s talk about eclipses! They occur in pairs, two weeks apart, about every six months. We have two eclipses coming up in October, on the 14th and the 28th! The current series of eclipses is in the Aries/Libra polarity, which began in April. We have a final Taurus/Scorpio polarity eclipse on October 28th. When an eclipse falls in the sign of the north node, it is calling us to aspire to move toward the positive aspects of that sign. This was the case with April’s eclipse in Aries: the calling was to integrate the high side of Aries, because that is also the sign of the transiting north node. In contrast, on the upcoming eclipse of October 14th, the shadow side of Libra is more likely to show up. The invitation is to become aware of our own Libra shadow behaviors, and to release them. 9:17

Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse 10:26

Patrick reflects on seeing and experiencing a solar eclipse in 2017 with an entire student body of a middle school! 11:53

The astrology of an eclipse and the transiting nodes. 13:20

The south node is where the shadow material coming up for the collective resides. 15:25

The upcoming October 14th solar eclipse will bring up an awareness and an opportunity to work through and to set intentions around doing good work with the Libra shadow. 16:06

Two weeks before and two weeks after the eclipse is the most potent window, and Dena likes to call the intensified period between two eclipses, the “Eclipse Portal.” Before October 14th — “What do you want to let go of around old relationship patterns?” “What new things do you want to invite in in your relationship life?” 16:50

The October 28th lunar eclipse. Wrap up things you’ve been working on regarding security, money, safety, and staying grounded. Acknowledge the work and progress you’ve made and release. 20:53

Purging and letting go. Dena uses Patrick, who is an Aries, as an example of how you can apply the astrology of eclipses in your life. “Were there any significant changes in the spring regarding vitality, health, creativity, or sense of self?” 22:40

Dena continues using Patrick as an example, looking at the Libra qualities in him (as that is the opposite of his sun sign). “Looking at the balance of your relationships, how is it supporting the new things that you’ve kicked off and started?” 26:25

Dena has succeeded at a daily meditation practice and is seeing the benefits! 29:24

We have even more eclipses coming up! Consider having a new or full moon ritual, or meeting with an eclipse group. 32:43

“There is a spooky, supernatural quality to the whole idea of an eclipse. Something is literally being interrupted [in] the natural order, and it’s a moment of pause. And you can look at that and be kind of spooked out, or you can look at it and say, ‘Wow! Isn’t that the coolest thing ever?’, and ‘I’m going to ride with that energy and do something productive with it.’” 34:57 

The eclipse in the 1985 film, Ladyhawke. 36:54

“Eclipses are not rare. They’re a regular, cyclic phenomenon that we can all use and enjoy in our lives.” 40:01

Dena’s great blog posts, and a recent Let’s Get Real Astrology episode, that you can use as a resource! 42:50

Do you struggle to read or understand your basic natal chart? Dena does readings, has a mentorship program, and you can check out her book, Foundations of Astrology: A Workbook for Beginners. 44:35

In this episode:

Intro :00

The Mourning Society of St Louis is a civilian reenacting group with an interest in mourning, death culture, spiritualism and the funeral customs of the mid-nineteenth century through the early twentieth century. Their main focus is public educational events. The Mourning Society has participated in events with our partners at the beautiful and historic Bellefontaine Cemetery, the Campbell House Museum, the St Louis Public Library, Jefferson Barracks Historic Site, Missouri History Museum, the General Daniel Bissell House, the Field House Museum, Lafayette Park Conservancy, and the Stephen and Peter Sachs Museum at the Missouri Botanical Garden. :52

Guests for this episode are Edna Dieterle and Katherine Kozemczak, who co-founded the Mourning Society of St. Louis in 2005, along with Sherri Morrow, who joined the group in 2015. 4:15

Katherine tells the story of how the Mourning Society came about. Her and Edna were already volunteers on the board for a historic mansion in St. Louis. But the main inspiration started with Edna's trip to a home Mississippi. 4:55

Katherine and Edna’s growing collection of artifacts and accoutrement, including coffins! 6:03

In 2015 their educational mourning events expanded to include funerals at the beautiful and historic Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis, and wakes at the the Campbell House Museum. 7:18

A truly unique group, and probably the first of its kind! 9:01

More on the Victorian funeral events at Bellefontaine Cemetery, including a service in the chapel, and educating participants on the cholera epidemic in 1865. 10:00

A striking and moving sight that includes an undertaker with a historic and period hearse. 12:21

The research and education that goes into the planning of events. 13:50

Sherri on why she joined the Mourning Society. “These are my people.” 14:47

Finding (or sewing) Victorian clothing! 15:23

Carpe Diem. Facing mortality and how playing the role of “mourner” affects these reenactors in their daily modern lives? 18:22

When people just don’t appreciate or understand it. 23:48

Tear Catchers and Wearing Black. Misconceptions about Victorian mourning customs. 27:14

“A lot of times, women did not attend the funerals at all, because men were like, ‘They can’t control their emotions and they’re going to cry in front of everybody.’” — Katherine 32:03

Black drapery, superstitions around mirrors, and marking the house to know a death has occurred. 34:03

The custom of placing coins over the eyes of the deceased. 37:09

Events at the Campbell House and the Magic Chef Mansion, including a wake, mourning customs, medical aspects of Victorian mourning (including live leeches!), and post mortem photography. 38:22

The Spiritualism event at the General Daniel Bissell House, which includes spirit communication devices, and a seance play which incorporates documented accounts of seances from the period! 40:03

Volunteering or joining the group. “It’s just like a bad dance, you know? Too many ladies and not enough gentleman. We never have enough people to carry the coffin.” — Katherine 44:09

Drawing people in, sneaking in education, and making it fun. 47:45

Building the atmosphere and setting the scene. “We try to leave people with an impression of what it was really like and not like a romanticized idea of what it was like. We definitely had people cry on some of the tours before, because I think they go in thinking it’s going to be spooky, and sometimes it’s incredibly sad.” — Katherine 48:28

“We were all like, ’Whoa. We’re doing something here.’” — Katherine 50:03

Connecting emotionally with things from the past. “I think there’s a tendency to disconnect from things that haven’t happened in living memory.” — Katherine 51:03

Children died all the time, but it doesn’t mean they weren’t just as devastated by the loss as we would be today. 54:35

Patrick imagines who his Mourning Society character would be and how he would dress. 56:03

“I started doing this because I was very passionate about history, and I love finding out things that I didn’t know before. And this definitely gives you a chance, when you do the research, to just plunge into it.” — Sherri 58:31

When it’s time to take off the veils, pull your iPhones out and have fun! 59:14

“Who are we going to bury?” — Edna 59:55

Expanding to other time periods and movements, like women’s suffrage. 1:00:37

The Mourning Society of St. Lous is approaching their 20 year anniversary! 1:02:43

Outro 1:03:57

A special THANK YOU to Patreon supporters at the Super Paranerd and Parlor Guest level! 1:05:15

Intro :00

Today’s beautiful guest started creating YouTube videos in 2018 as a small vintage channel. Then in 2020, she bravely jumped into what she found was her true passion--Halloween. And it was then that Midge Munster was born, but there’s a lot more to that, and it’s a fascinating story. All of the sudden, Midge found herself being flown out to New Jersey for the opening of Spirit Halloween’s flagship store, and now Halloween is her full-time gig. When Midge tells others what she does, she always starts by describing herself as a haunted housewife. At a base level, her content is about home decor, vintage style, and how to add a dash of spooky to your everyday life. But more than that, it is about what can happen when you channel your energy into creating a life you love. Midge reminds you to “keep it campy, kooky, glamorous and spooky!” :48

Welcome, Midge Munster! 2:23

Eternal autumn and where vintage and Halloween come together—Midge describes her style. 4:55

The photos! “I was somebody who didn’t like to be photographed, actually. I didn’t like seeing myself. And through working with her and taking photos, I think she taught me to see myself how other people see me. And I got to experience looking at my own joy for the first time, in that way, and it was so transformative.” 7:05

The Midge Munster origin story. The name came from a combination of inspirations, including the red-headed best friend of Barbie, the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Marilyn Munster. 9:54

Midge is flown out to New Jersey for the opening of Spirit Halloween’s flagship store! 14:25

Midge’s passion for both vintage and Halloween was cultivate by her parents. 17:35

Is autumn and Halloween a lot hotter than it used to be?! 20:20

MidSummer Scream, Halloween in California, and needing all of the seasons. 23:30

Midge’s famous Coffin Table! 24:40

Giant table legs, judgy neighbors, Alfred Hitchcock bird couture! 28:46

Midge has some spiritual gifts and has had a ghost encounter in Scotland. 30:51

Midge has had incredibly vivid and meaningful dreams, and she also has been able to see auras since she was a child. “I have told people they were pregnant before they knew they were pregnant.” 37:15

Midge has a GREAT travel guide vlog from her trip to Salem, Massachusetts! 42:15

Could Midge be practicing mediumship in the future? 42:55

More about seeing auras. 46:10

Midge’s beautiful mini TED talk on passion, confidence, and claiming your space! “People are so excited and receptive to people who are unafraid to be different.” 50:07

29 Oct 201419 - Halloween Memories and Traditions with Special Guests - The Big Séance Podcast: My Paranormal World00:47:08

Call the show (775) 583-5563!

 

Well it is finally here. It is the week of Halloween, and in this final Halloween episode, I invite several past guests to share their favorite Halloween memories and traditions! Hear contributions from Annie Wilder, Sara Wiseman, Lee Allen Howard, Karen A. Dahlman, Janice Carlson, Rob Gutro, and Jim Harold

 

Visit BigSeance.com for show notes.

 

 

In this episode:

A Halloween Housewarming in 1911

A special return visit from Meth Hazel

Returning from episode 2 of the Big Séance Podcast, our next guest, Annie Wilder has a cool story from a Halloween night a few years ago. Now you have to remember that she lives in a haunted house, and when she mentions “the sisters” and “Leon”, those are spirits that are known to reside with her in the home.

Sara Wiseman joined us on October 2, 2014. I really enjoyed that conversation. She may have the sweetest and most calming voice ever, but you might want to briefly turn the lights on for this recent memory.

My friend Lee Allen Howard was with us for the September 11, 2014 episode. He is a medium and metaphysician, but he’s also an author, and he writes some horrifying things. And from his memories, it kind of makes you understand just where it all came from.

Next up is Karen A. Dahlman, who has been on the show twice, July 23, and October 16, of 2014. I absolutely love her story, and as soon as you finish this episode, be sure to check out the show notes at BigSeance.com, because Karen was nice enough to send in a very special photo for all of us to enjoy after you hear the story.

Karen A. Dahlman (right) and friend, Halloween 1977

 

Medium and psychic, Janice Carlson, joined us on August 27, 2014. She’s really fun to talk to, and she joins us again now to share this thought-provoking memory of a childhood Halloween. She also wanted to share an article she wrote about Halloween. Once again, when you’re all finished listening today, be sure to check the show notes, because Janice wanted to share the black and white line drawing that she had an artist create for the article, of what the first procession of Halloween trick-or-treaters in Ireland must have looked like. Thank you, Janice. **Janice's drawing coming soon!**

On September 18, 2014, Rob Gutro joined us to talk about Pets and the Afterlife. Here’s a memory from Rob.  

If you’re a regular listener of the Big Seance Podcast, you know just how much respect I have for our final guest tonight, a man who has influenced me greatly! I was so very honored to have Jim Harold, of the Paranormal Podcast, join me back on Sept 25, 2014. I invited him to come back to share his thoughts on a favorite tradition on Halloween. If you’re a parent, you’ll relate to this one.

A special credit and "thank you" goes out to the incredibly talented Tim Prasil, for writing the really funny story for Meth Hazel’s appearance tonight. Thanks for playing along with us, and sharing your time and talent, Tim. You’ll actually be hearing from Tim, who is a writer, in a future episode of the podcast. You can learn more about him at timprasil.wordpress.com.

 

Don't forget!! Are you a regular listener? Please e-mail (or call, or SpeakPipe) with where you're listening from, and how you're listening! I'd appreciate it! Patrick@BigSeance.com

10 Dec 201550 - The Legend of the Milton Schoolhouse - The Big Séance Podcast: My Paranormal World00:42:36

Are trapped ghosts inside the Milton Schoolhouse? Are there mysterious spirits, unrelated to the legend, that call the Milton home? Or perhaps there has never been a ghostly presence in the building. Join me as we chat with Milton co-owner, Meredith, as well as previous guest, Ginger Collins-Justus. Paranormal or not, you MUST visit the Milton and see its current reincarnation! Visit BigSeance.com for more info.  

"The Milton Schoolhouse is a place for innovators, dreamers, bold visionaries, entrepreneurs, inventors, artists, daring pioneers- and renaissance people."

 

Pssst... Are you looking for the SpeakPipe Link?

 

 

In this episode:

  • Episode Preview :00
  • Intro 1:51
  • Take a ride with me! We’re headed to Alton, Illinois for Maeva’s Coffee Shop at the Milton Schoolhouse! 2:24
  • The legend and history of the Milton Schoolhouse, which was featured on Syfy’s Ghost Hunters in 2010. 4:02
  • Troy Taylor’s article from AltonHauntings.com
  • Ginger Collins-Justus and I sit down at Maeva’s with co-owner of the Milton Schoolhouse, Meredith. She introduces us to the Milton and gives a brief timeline of events and renovation since purchasing the building in 2009. 7:52
  • Patrick describes the Milton Schoolhouse and what you’ll find when you walk in. 9:49
  • I begin asking Meredith about the legend. And she gives us a cool behind the scenes look at Jason and Grant’s visit with T.A.P.S. 10:26
  • Is there any truth to the legend? 13:40
  • So what about the reports of hauntings? Is it haunted? And who is haunting it? And what about the evidence from the Ghost Hunters episode? 14:53
  • Riverbend Paranormal  
  • Being a respectful landlord to the presence of both the physical and spiritual. (Not getting the answer I apparently was looking for, I kept pestering Meredith about activity in the building.) 15:56
  • I missed the cooler story. What’s the latest news from the Milton? 16:37
  • Templar Brewing Co is moving into the Milton.
  • What does Ginger think? As an intuitive medium, does she sense a paranormal presence in the building? 17:28
  • Ginger is also the owner of Missouri History and Hauntings. Does she think there’s any truth to the Milton legend? 21:02
  • Schools hold lots of energy from decades of students coming and going, memories, experiences, and history. Is it that residual energy that people claim to feel and experience here?  22:51
  • Getting a brief tour of the building, meeting Buford, and stumbling into THE boiler room! 25:06
  • Leaving Maeva’s and feeling silly about focusing on the legend and the paranormal, when there is so much more to the Milton. And why is it that I sleep like a baby in “the most haunted” places? 26:44
  • If you have stories or have had paranormal experiences from the Milton Schoolhouse, please contact me! I’d love to hear about your experiences. 28:36
  • Catching up with Ginger Collins-Justus and talking about some upcoming events she’s planning. Be sure to listen to Ginger’s previous appearance on episode 23 of the podcast. 32:50
  • The Milton is SO much more than a place for paranerds to fantasize about! It’s a super cool community and a place for inspiration. Please visit the website for the Milton Schoolhouse! Visit the “news” link in the menu for a beautiful blog written by Meredith. I read nearly every blog entry. It chronicles the journey they’re taking at the Milton. Many of you might appreciate the post titled Paranormal Preservationists. 36:13
  • Look forward to an upcoming Milton Schoolhouse episode from our friends over at the History Goes Bump podcast! 38:29
  • Hey Meredith, can you repeat that? 39:03
  • Outro 40:06

Episode Teaser :00

Intro :30

Scott Milligan is the world's foremost tutor of physical mediumship, trance, and altered states. With 25 years of sitting in the darkness of the seance room, Scott's physical phenomena and direct voices of his spirit team and deceased loved ones are extremely powerful to witness. He and former guest of the show, Sandra Champlain of We Don’t Die Radio, have done lots of collaborating, and so between all that content and Scott’s Facebook profile, there is SO much to watch, listen to, and learn if you want it. 1:10

Some background on where Scott’s message in this episode came from. 1:58

Scott Milligan’s July 21, 2022 Facebook LIVE video. 3:07

Prayer and Setting Intentions. “I personally have never asked for protection. The only reason I don’t is because I trust my friends. I trust them with my eternal life.” “If you’re asking for protection, you’re leaving a layer of your sense saying there’s something fearful.” 16:23

“Be at your best.” 18:45

Ghosts vs Spirit People. 19:30

“And he said, ’Do you think it’s going to hurt you?’, and I said yes. And he picked up the board and hit me across the face with it. He said, ’That’s the only thing that’s going to hurt you, now put your finger on the glass.’” 24:50

The “Spooky Meeting” 31:05

“Low entity, am I?” An important lesson from Dolly the drag queen. 33:15

Episode Teaser :00

Intro 1:00

Some improvements, thanks to Patreon Support! 1:33

Some background on how this episode and conversation came about. 2:16

How are Patrick and both of our return guests connected? Ash is a connector. Slade is a matchmaker. 3:43

Patrick met Ash online during the “information gathering phase” of his “spiritual shift.” Ash then introduced Patrick to Slade and his work. 8:31

Ash brought the team together for this “triangle table.” The topic started out as a joke in a planning discussion, but ended up being something everyone decided to roll with. What’s up with the lack of straight men in the spiritual/metaphysical community? 11:51

Slade’s take on the initial question. Reincarnation, witch trials, and where the term “faggot” came from. 13:25

The suppression of the feminine: Susan Grace and the 2,000-year reign of men that ends in 2020. 15:58

The feminine archetype 19:23

Those who are excluded from a social order have to become more resourceful. 21:28

Straight men who are allies of the feminine and the spiritual are the real deal! Unfortunately, they’re all married. Ha! 23:15

Patrick’s take. Being “out” is important! 25:29

Healing the Mother Wound and toxic masculinity/femininity 28:52

Unraveling and falling apart 30:26

The Spiritualist Movement, Women’s Suffrage, and the Me Too Movement 32:44

Being “psy-curious”: The similarities of coming out of the spiritual closet and coming out as gay 35:40

When the response to you coming out is not good 40:35

Fear of acceptance, conversations at the Xerox machine (or the water cooler), and making others comfortable enough to share their stories 43:23

The dangers of coming out 47:03

Bigotry sometimes goes both ways 48:34

Making straight men feel welcome 51:20

“Everybody wants to be able to see someone in a space that looks like them.” 53:39

Are you a straight, psy-curious man who is looking for love? “Get thyself to a spirit circle!” 54:28

Catching up with Ash and what’s going on in her world 57:27

A whole different take on Stranger Angels over at SladeRoberson.com. Plus, “Be relentlessly helpful.” 59:54

23 Dec 201424 - Psychic Predictions and Prophecies for 2015 - The Big Séance Podcast: My Paranormal World01:02:37

Call the show (775) 583-5563!

 

Psychic Predictions and Prophecies for 2015 from Janice Carlson, Angela Thomas, Rob Gutro, Carole J. Obley, Karen A. Dahlman, Lee Allen Howard, and Marilyn Painter. 

 

 

Visit BigSeance.com for show notes.

 

In this episode: 

Some of the Prophecies and predictions of Edgar Cayce and Sylvia Browne.

Janice Carlson - Janice has been a lovely friend and supporter of the podcast. You can hear my interview with her if you go to episode 10 from August 27, 2014. I wanted to start our special predictions episode with Janice today, because this was actually all her idea… and I thought it was brilliant! For more on Janice, visit janicecarlson.com.

Janice gives us her psychic predictions for 2015.

Angela Thomas - Next up is a psychic named Angela Thomas. She is a research psychic for the study of precognition with Dr. Vernon Nappe. She’s been a guest of George Noory’s Beyond Belief on Gaiam TV, and in the spring of 2015, she’ll be publishing her book “Three Dimensional Tarot: The Art of Gathering Information”. You can find more about Angela at AngelaThomas.org

Angela gives her psychic predictions for the next 18 months. 

Rob Gutro - Rob is an author, medium, and scientist, and he made his initial appearance on the 13th episode from September 18, 2014. For more on Rob, visit ghostsandspiritsinsights.blogspot.com.

Rob joins us today to tell us how we all have the ability to have premonitions, and he shares a very touching story about one of his own premonitions. 

Carole J. Obley - A future guest of an upcoming episode of The Big Séance Podcast, Carole has been the bridge between heaven and earth in over 7,000 group and individual readings. It’s no surprise that she is fast becoming a sought-after medium, author, workshop leader and speaker given the startling clarity, specificity and accuracy with which she sees, hears and senses people’s loved ones in spirit. Names, descriptions of loved ones’ personalities and uncanny, validating details as well as grief support and teachings about the Afterlife are typically delivered in her readings. Heartfelt and compassionate in her approach, Carole is also well known for her practical, down-to-earth guidance and insight into life issues, such as relationships, career and finance. Fore more on private sessions, visit soulvisions.net.

Carole shares the message that coming in 2015, we will have a deeper awareness of humanity and unity.

Karen A. Dahlman - You remember her. She’s been on the show several times already. Her interview in episode 5 from July 23, 2014, remains very popular! For more on Karen, visit karenadahlman.com

Karen shares some predictions for the year 2015 that she received from one of her spirit friends known as “The Moon”, and she received these predictions from the Ouija board. 

Our last two contributions stand out, because they are channeled messages that are recorded as they’re happening. Both Lee Allen Howard and Marilyn Painter have been guests on the podcast, and I’m glad to have them back. 

Lee Allen Howard - He was with us on episode 12 from September 11, 2014. For more on Lee Allen Howard, visit building-the-bridge.com.  

Lee gives his 2015 psychic predictions, but also leaves us with the recording of him channeling a message that he received from a “watcher” that he talks about on building-the-bridge.com. He received this on November 24, 2014 during a channeling session. 

Marilyn Painter - She was my very first guest in episode 1. You can also hear her in episode 9 from August 20th, 2014. For more on Marilyn, visit ahtahsanctuary.com

Marilyn also shares a recording of her channeling the energies of 2015. 

I hope you enjoyed this episode, and I would absolutely LOVE to hear from you if you have any thoughts about any of the messages you heard today. I’m sure all of these folks would love to hear about any validation if you notice anything lining up as they predicted. I hope to hear from you!

In this episode:

  •  A quick summary of this episode! :38

  •  Leaving St. Louis for Lamberts Cafe in Sikeston, MO 1:54

  •  Stayed the night at the Hilton Memphis (Sorry, Elvis) 2:49
  • We arrived in the beautiful and historic Natchez, MS. View the photos I took around the city in my Natchez album on Flickr. 3:14 
  • King’s Tavern — Featured on Ghost Adventures in Season 7, episode 18 from 2013. Kings Tavern is the oldest standing building in the Mississippi Territory and Natchez and its history goes all the way back to 1769. 3:36 
  • Plan B and stumbling into a beautiful surprise! 4:17 
  • Dinner at the historic Bowie’s Tavern — We talked to some residents who recommended we have dinner at Bowie’s Tavern, which is on Broadway in Natchez. And they made a great choice for us. Good food and really nice people. The historic building overlooks the Mississippi river and was originally a cotton warehouse. They also proudly display a mahogany bar that was built around 1880. They also have lodging on the upper floor with a view of the river! 5:04 
  • The mysterious and unique grave of Florence Irene Ford (Sept 3, 1861 - Oct 30, 1871), who died of yellow fever at the age of 10. This grave was constructed with a set of open concrete stairs that descend next to what would be the head of Florence’s body, with the headstone above. Learn more about this grave at GhostInMySuitcase.com. 8:05 
  • Before leaving Natchez, we toured the Monmouth Mansion (built in 1818) and the beautiful gardens and small cemetery that surrounds it. Check out my Monmouth Mansion photo album on Flickr. 10:03 
  • The Myrtles Plantation (built circa. 1796) in St. Francisville, LA — If you are as big of a paranerd as I am, you’ve probably seen the Ghost Hunters investigation of Myrtles from way back in 2005, episode 1 of their 2nd season. You’ve also probably seen the The Ghost Adventures crew investigate the place just last year in season 9, episode 2. 10:46 
  • The lovely Miss Hester 11:33 
  • Some audio with a little bit of the atmosphere of the haunted Myrtles Plantation. 12:25 
  • The Myrtles Plantation Tour 14:15 
  • Some of the legends of the Myrtles Plantation 16:18 
  • The Haunted Mirror 17:01 
  • The ghost of Chloe — Probably the biggest legend of the Myrtles. Chloe was supposedly the slave closest to the Woodruff family, who purchased the home in 1820 and remodeled it. Was she Mr. Woodruff’s mistress? Did she poison Mrs. Woodruff, along with Cornelia and James, two of the children? Was one of her ears cut off? And was she hung from a nearby tree? 19:03 
  • The nursery, or the “Ruffin Stirling Room”, which is where we stayed for the night. The two children, Cornelia and James Woodruff, were apparently taken to this room, where they later died. 21:26 
  • Kate, Cleo, Voodoo, and other deaths at the Myrtles. 21:47 
  • More about the “terrifying” bed shaking experiences that have been reported in the nursery/Ruffin Stirling Room. 22:34 
  • Before bed we tried to reach out to any of the spirits of the Myrtles by conducting an EVP, Spirit Box, and Ouija session in the nursery. 23:06 
  • Who changed the track on my recorder while we were sleeping? 26:23 
  • More audio of me touring the grounds of the Myrtles, including the pond and cabins around the back of the property. 28:26 
  • View my Myrtles Plantation photo album on Flickr
  • Our visit to Grace Cemetery and the Grace Episcopal Church in St. Francisville, LA. You can find the Grace Cemetery photo album on Flickr. 30:18 
  • The beautiful and reportedly haunted Oak Alley Plantation in Vacherie, LA. It’s one of the more popular plantations. In fact, you’ve probably seen it in photos or even as the Hollywood backdrop of a movie or two. It was featured in Season 4, episode 19 of Ghost Hunters in 2008. The rows of 300 year old oak trees are breath taking. Check out my Oak Alley Plantation album on Flickr. 32:36 
  • Heading to New Orleans and the overwhelming heaviness or anxiety that I was feeling. 33:45 
  • Bourbon Street 35:15 
  • Our spectacular dinner and experience at the Oceana Grill 35:30 
  • Incense, sage, tarot cards, and my mom’s visit to the Voodoo shops (Marie Laveau’s House of Voodoo and Reverend Zombie’s House of Voodoo)! 35:43 
  • On the way out the French Quarter, mom dropped me off at the Lalaurie Mansion. Hopefully you remember my interview with Victoria Cosner Love, who authored the book on Madame Delphine Lalaurie, the real life murderess portrayed in American Horror Story: Coven. If not, you can check out episode 7 of the podcast from August 6, 2014. 36:47 
  • What’s the opposite of the French Quarter in New Orleans? Long Beach, MS, which was the last leg of our trip. Long Beach is not far from Gulf Port, MS. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express for a few nights. 38:28 
  • On our first night we had dinner at Shaggy’s right on the beach near Gulfport. 39:26 
  • The Papa Johns delivery guy in Long Beach is a fellow podcast nerd! 39:49 

 

  • Shout Outs! Thanks, StevenXm and American Ghoul for your iTunes reviews, and Tracy for the spooctacular photo and the e-mail! 40:47 
  • What’s coming up next week? 42:30 
  • This week’s blooper — a visit from my four-legged son Meril, who was apparently very thirsty! 44:32
