Fear

Q: I still have FEARS. I saw things as a child and I have ignored it my whole life. Even so, I am still afraid. What do I do to overcome my fears? I still hear and see things.

Why is that a bad thing? What is it, you really fear? Is it what other people think of you? or is it that you don't know why, or what they want from you when they linger around or appear to you (the ghosts I am talking about). Well, why not ask them? If someone takes something of yours or bumps into you, you would say something wouldn't you? Well, ghosts (spirits) are people to. Just not physical. First you must figure out what you are really afraid of. Then understand that ghosts, spirits were once people to. They just don't follow the same laws we do when it comes to physical rules. They have more freedom yes, but they aren't able to interact like we can.

You must have confidence and realize you are a powerful spiritual being. You can see, hear and maybe even feel them. Few people can. So what does this mean. It means you have the opportunity to help some of them, help some of us. Understand life after death. Understand and communicate with the soul and the afterlife. So many people today need to bridge that gap. Why fear something that can help so many people. The ones you don't want to talk to or don't care for. Tell them to leave and if they don't ask other spirits, good ones, to help you get rid of them or how to make them go. There is no harm in asking or communicating, but there is harm if you don't do anything and let them control you. Only you control you. You know this. Now prove it and regain control of yourself first. Then set parameters for them. It's your home and your life.

Q: I have had dreams that come true and see things that happen to people before it happens. The fear of what COULD happen next and no one believing me "taught" me to suppress a lot of my ability. How does one re-learn to use these gifts?

You already have them, you already learned them. You have just chosen to abandon them out of... fear. Let go of your fear, embrace the truth, embrace the unknown and ask the universe to show you what it must to help others and help YOU help others. There can be no fear, when what you do, you do out of love and assistance. To truly see ones life, death and success mean you are evolved on a level that allows you to see people for who they truly are. The physical and the holographic reality we have created in this world means nothing to you. You can see who we TRULY are. Why we are here and what purpose we have? In this you can see one's destiny at times. What you see if it be death or tragedy is not necessarily a bad thing. Our experiences here are only temporary and in that temporarily comes/brings experiences for the soul and mind. We take that with us when we physically die and our soul departs, going home to a higher self, higher spiritual realm. It becomes an addition to higher, greater awareness of the creator and who we truly are. What we observe we can use to help and guide others, warn some, counsel others and prepare many. How much can be done before an event occurs, we can use to prepare, help and calm those we see? Seek not to be a hero, but guide those that need one, counsel those that fear, and don't seek approval from those who choose not to believe. You already know what they question. So why confuse both, them and you. You answer what they already fear. Do not make it your fear. There is too much of that already, as you have seen for years. Prey does not survive its fear when corned by a predator. It freezes and is devoured by the darkness. Do not let the darkness devour you. For light always survives in the dark, and you cannot fear anything, when you know even a little of where you are going.

Ghosts

Q: Can Ghosts Appear in Dreams?

Yes, I believe they can. Ever since childhood I have had dreams off and on of ghosts, spirits or loved ones communicating through dreams. I have even woken up and had them standing right there or walking out of the room. A friend of mine in grade school and I had the same dream one night and talked about it the next day. We both gave each other clues and shared the details the next day on the bus to school to confirm that we were really in the dream and aware. How is this possible? I believe our spirit and soul can leave our body when we go to sleep. The body needs sleep but our spirit and soul never sleep. Sleep gives us the time to detach from the body and wander off into the astral plane. Sometimes to places we would like to travel but don't or can't. It even gives us a chance to converse with loved ones, receive messages and meet up with our higher self and be reminded of our purpose. We may even receive information that assists us in times of need or gives us the necessary information to build our lives and complete projects. With this opportunity, other spirits can access the realm we pass through from dream state to astral plane. Some of these meetings are planned by both parties and sometimes there can be intrusions. Sometimes these intrusions by ghosts can be frightening other times confusing. When we reconnect with our body we may forget things or only remember bits and pieces. There are many worlds that exist. The spirit realm and the third dimension are just two of them. While many of our dreams may just be visions, fantasies, wishful thinking, or nightmares. There will always still be those dreams, meetings and gatherings with spirits that we know are real. Pay attention to those, you can learn from them.

Paranormal Investigating

Top

Q: What drives you to pursue this field of study? For some, it is fear of mortality, for others the desire to know what reality is. What is your motivating factor?

Many reasons. All my experiences happened for a reason. I still have questions and want to communicate and see them all the time. Yet as I have gotten older it doesn't work that way all the time. My motivation is I know they exist. To many people are blind to the fact that ghosts are everywhere. I like to get proof, the more proof, the better. I cant let my life not have a purpose. I do what I can to contribute, enlighten, assist and share what I know and just pray that along the way many people are helped by what I do.

Q: Where does one start to become a paranormal investigator?

Read books on ghost hunting to become familiar with the terms and uses of equipment. The more you know the better. Nothing beats experience but if you can learn all the terminology it will help tremendously. Practice using equipment before going out in the field and watch and read about other investigators and what they do. There are some wonderful groups out there. Check out their websites and what their protocols are as well as guidelines when they investigate. Understand and read what ghosts are and the different types of hauntings. You want to know all this before you go out ghost hunting so when you do you don't miss anything and know how to react should something happen. Preparation is key!

Q: Where do you hope to see this field of study go in the next decade?

Away from the ego and towards the research. Actual grants being issued to further research and well known people in politics, government, high society get involved in assisting in further developments to the field.

Psychic Ability

Q: How did you get your training or strengthening of your gift?

This is not an easy question and may or may not apply to everyone. I was born with seeing and sensing things. I had dreams that came true. I felt people around. I sensed when they would appear, or if they were near by. During my experiences and interacting with ghosts, I learned a lot. I asked questions, I tried experiments to get them to interact and move objects or show themselves. It didn't always work, but when it did i learned something. Dreams were very powerful for me back then. I would see them and have some conversations with them during the day or night and when I went to sleep some of them would continue the conversations or show me things. I could decipher what was premonition or prophecy and what was just fantasy. It was amazing for me during that time. As I got into high school and things continued to come true, I realized it was real, and I could use it to prepare myself.

It wasn't until I worked with top experts in the field of parapsychology that I could label and identify some of the abilities I had. I became more familiar with place memory as apposed to think the energy and emotions were a ghost as I may have in the past. I could recognize the difference in sensations to tell me whether it was a real ghost present or just left over residuals of a ghost or traumatic event. As an adult I could observe more from a psychological and scientific eye than a child's view of some confusion and fear. This new observation helped me realize it was real and was nothing paranormal or supernatural. It was just thought's science has not caught up with yet nor understands, to a degree, to allow it to be natural.

Read books about the terms and what you can do to practice. The best book I read that helped me identify some of the sensations and label the abilities, was a book by Echo Bodine called "The Gift."

There are many teachers out there, but you can only learn so much. Experience is the key to all lessons learned. Go out and experience for yourself. I did.

Q: What is place memory? Is there a way to hone this ability?

Place memory is emotions and energy that have been left behind and recorded in an inanimate object. Wood, cement, steel are great objects to hold place memory. If someone is murdered, dies or suffers huge emotional stress or trauma the release of those emotions and feelings create an energy outburst that can permeate anything that is in close proximity. The floors, walls and ceiling can house that energy, like a recording or picture, for a long period of time. Highly Sensitive individuals can pick up, feel and absorb these emotions. In an empathetic and reactive kind of way. In some cases, it can be extreme while for others it can be mild. Pictures or images can be displayed in the mind as the emotions carry the event that occurred. LIke a movie or recording, bits and fragments are felt that can affect some sensitives to such a degree that they feel they are there witnessing this past occurrence and for some empaths and sensitives they can even feel they are the person that this occurred to. Seeing and feeling what that person did before they died.

One way to hone this ability is to practice psychometry with objects and go from room to room noticing and sensing the differences in the ambiance and environment. Having other individuals go from room to room before hand releasing emotions and out bursts of energy before hand can help you identify some of these emotions when you go in. Testing each other then gathering data to see what you missed and how you can improve. Also, blindfolded tests with subjects being approached by different emotions (under silent conditions) can help identify changes in the room, hence the recognition of emotions and how they affect the surroundings are good ways to hone and practice this ability.

Q: What is Psychometry?

Psychometry, also called "token-object reading" is the art or practice or holding an object such as a watch, pen, coin, wallet, shoe, shirt, etc. and speaking out loud the images and feelings that first come to mind. There are memories and emotions recorded on the objects from the owner or people they came in contact with. The goal is to pick up on these memories and sensations and correctly identify them.

Joseph Rhodes Buchanan coined the word "psychometry" in 1842.[2] Buchanan developed the theory that all things give off an emanation.[3]

"The past is entombed in the present, the world is its own enduring monument; and that which is true of its physical is likewise, true of its mental career. The discoveries of Psychometry will enable us to explore the history of man, as those of geology enable us to explore the history of the earth. There are mental fossils for psychologists as well as mineral fossils for the geologists; and I believe that hereafter, the psychologist and the geologist will go hand in hand, the one portraying the earth, its animals and its vegetation, while the other portrays the human beings who have roamed over its surface in the shadows, and the darkness of primeval barbarism. Aye, the mental telescope is now discovered, which may pierce the depths of the past and bring us in full view of the grand and tragic passages of ancient history."[2]"

Q: What helped you to get grounded, and stop feeling as if your going crazy? how did you know you were not crazy?

I never felt I was crazy. I just wondered why it was happing to me and not kids at school. My mom experienced somethings with me as well as my dad, who tended to ignore it after it happened. When some of my friends slept over in grade school during 3rd-8th grade, they had experiences as well and because of this it became confirmation for me that things were really going on. Some of us began to interact with the ghosts in my house. When we did this amazing things happened and I began to become aware of my senses to their presence. I always stayed grounded because I never thought I was better then anyone and I always wanted to try and understand why they were here and what they wanted. My faith kept me safe and I always felt angels were around, not as much as I wanted them to be, because they felt it was necessary for me to learn many things on my own.

Q: How do you discern your own intuition from a true paranormal experience when contacting the dead?

My intuition warns me or tells me details of something I need to know or be concerned about. It comes from a higher power and my higher consciousness. A true paranormal experience I react to and or sense moments before and during. The experience is beyond my intuition and caused by another force and or conscious energy of its own accord.

Psychic Kid

Q: How old were you when you first realized there was more to reality than your five senses perceived?

I was about 6. My parents were not seeing what I was and these things would appear and interact with things in my room. Doors moving, reflections in mirrors, sheets moving, etc. I realized that kids at school, most of them, were not having these experiences. Priests at school didn't have answers. My dad chose to ignore it and my mom asked me not to tell anyone. So I figured somethings strange was going on here, and yet it was intriguing at the same time.

Q: What was your first paranormal experience? How did you react to it, and how did it change you?

I got tapped on the shoulder one night while I was in bed. I turned around and no one was there. I thought maybe my parents did it. The next morning when I asked them at breakfast they said they were asleep and it wasn't them. The next night when it happened again I knew it wasn't them because they sleep with their door closed and it never opened. Plus, I never heard any footsteps and no one. I mean no one was in the room or could move that quick to tap my shoulder and disappear. I freaked and had no idea what it was until the first time I saw one. A ghost that is.

Q: Have you ever seen lights or what looks like star shows at night in the house or in your room while you were a kid?

As a child I saw a couple of things that were like lights. I saw a ball of light once shoot down the hall and have a contrail to it. Very weird and odd. On another occasion, I saw a male ghost appear in my room while my friend Bud was sleeping in a sleeping bag about 10 feet away from my bed. This male ghost was glowing with an internal glow to it that did NOT light up the room or illuminate the walls. It seemed to be self contained. The spirit seemed lost or confused, and I was scared, so I called out for Bud (he didn't answer) and after that didn't work I yelled out for my dad who came down the hall and turned on the hallway light. As soon as the light went out this ghost imploded into a ball and then vanished! As if it went into a black hole or something. Very odd.

It wasn't until many years later while I was investigating Thunderbird Lodge that I saw a light, which at first I thought was a lightening bug. However, in dead winter that was impossible. It lit up when I asked, "where did this guy die?" I followed the path to where this light appeared and picked some horrible place memory of a tragedy. I was told that just below where I saw the light (it was hovering about 8 feet above the ground) was where the janitor died after being attacked and killed by a bear. This light led me right to it!

On another occasion at a haunted lodge. I saw a multitude of sparkly lights appear inside floating above the bridge. Which I then termed "Sprites" short for Spirit Lights," I felt these were spirit guides and conscious soul energy that were of a higher and more vibrant frequency. Closer to the light and nicer, more positive spirits. Not angels per see, but spirits sent to watch over or guide in our quest and investigation. They sparkled when I asked them to show themselves again.

During a personal channel session, I caught two of them on video while I was under deep trance. One of them appeared when it was stated a spirit guide would be appearing to me.

So what does this mean? I believe these lights, when they are bright and sparkly, can signify positive light (beings) spirits. Letting one know they are there for a short period to guide, protect, acknowledge or assist.

Q: My children manifested their abilities at a very early age. I want my kids to have normal childhoods without stifling their gifts. What can I do to make sure they stay strong in themselves without becoming isolated from their peer groups?

Support from the adult family is what is needed for all children with or without gifts. More problems, more disorders, more dysfunction is caused by neglect, isolation, regret, hatred, and fear during a child's upbringing than any other time in their life. They are shaped by what goes in and around them at these stages. Show them in this world other that use gifts for the positive. Show them and guide them in using their gifts, not to appease others but out of love and kindness. Look at their fears and address them. Help them understand different viewpoints and what obstacles they may run into BEFORE they run into them. Discuss these things, so when and if they do happen, they will be in a better position to be wise and understand them, as well as understand people such as their peers who cannot comprehend what it is like to see, hear, feel and communicate not only with each other but with those THEY have chosen to ignore. Think of it this way. Homeless people are ignored, shunned and mistreated all the time in our society. They shouldn't be homeless! Yet, our society allows it. So when it comes to something, they can't see. Why would it be any different? Add the fact to it that some of us CAN see, hear and feel the invisibles of our society. The ghosts of our present and past. Why wouldn't they be upset, scared or angry? With these abilities comes great knowledge, and even greater responsibility. Elvis was told he should go back to driving trucks. Many successful people, many heroes in our world, great leaders, were once told they were not good enough to follow their dreams. If they listened, they would not have accomplished what history has recorded for them. Do not despair about what others do not see or understand. Only You can create who you want to be, and only you can walk forward to accomplish it. Take with you what they say and prove them wrong, not to hurt them, but to teach them in the only way you can...Through implementation and progression through your work and accomplishments based on what you believe. Write your own history for their children to read and study. Today's teachers you run into might only know the past and fear the future. You and your children are the future. Empty pages of are waiting to be named history.

Q: How has celebrity helped or harmed you? Do you see positives and negatives to the increasing focus on celebrities in the paranormal field?

As for Fame, my father was a celebrity. He won the Stanley Cup and played 13 years in the NHL. Everywhere we went people wanted his autograph and a moment of his time. Therefore, it has always been a privilege and honor to me for anyone to take the time to be interested in what I do. My dad taught me that if you want respect, you have to earn it. Being on TV doesn't make a person who they are. It is what is in your heart and what your intent is that people will really recognize, more so then a face on TV.

I thank everyone that has wanted a picture, an autograph, to share a story or my favorite...a hug. As my dad always said to HIS fans, "Thank you for asking!" I make sure I say the same, because I sure feel the same. In no shape or form has being on TV or in the public eye harmed me. There are some people out there that have tried to bring me down because they are skeptical of life after death or god, and have felt it necessary to attack me for my beliefs. I feel they have their opinion, and they can attack me for my beliefs if they want, but they can't attack me or harm me for my experiences, that I won't tolerate. Life is based on experience, and I have experience to back up who I am.

My intent has always been, and always will be, to communicate with ghosts and spirits to help bridge the gap from our world to theirs. Being on TV has given me the chance to visit places I would never have had the opportunity visit, as well as work with some of the brightest minds in the field. Who wouldn't be excited about that?

I don't consider myself as a celebrity, I was investigating the paranormal and supernatural back in the early 90's, did radio and TV, experiments, regressions, attended conventions and expos, and published a magazine on the subject way before I was ever on a TV show. I held seances for adults at age 12. My experiences, credibility, work and knowledge is what landed me on TV. I would rather be known as someone who opened up people's minds and contributed to this field, than as a celebrity. The positive thing about TV exposure is this field has gotten the attention it needs and the respect it deserves, however what scares me is I have a feeling some people out there on TV are on the verge of messing the credibility up, especially when it comes to the "truth' of evidence just for ratings. And that could cause the field to take a huge step back. What I have seen on other programs the past two years has made me shake my head and feel betrayed as not only a fan, but a fellow investigator. I want to see this genre move ahead into further "honest" research and development as well as more public awareness of the existence of life after death, not turn into "BS" paranormal TV programs as some are headed.

The negatives I feel are the egos that have arisen in this field. I could tell you stories that would shake your head and make you think twice about these people's true intentions, however I am not here to judge or stir things up. I am sure over time, their true intentions will be known. It's a shame how some have gotten into this field just to be on TV, while others have become corrupted due to the attention they have received and the almighty dollar from being on TV. Such a shame. I have told my closest friends if I ever lose myself or become like that to knock me down. I know as well as they do, I will never get that way. My dad and my life experiences with him taught me better, God bless him! He used to say, "What is wrong is wrong, what is right is right. And when it is right you fight for it!" I am most definitely a fighter.

What I say to you is, don't be deceived. Search for a persons TRUE intent and listen carefully, very carefully to what they say, and more to what they DON'T say! Watch their actions and sincerity. There will be your answer - true colors will show through. There are a play of words going on with certain individuals in person and on TV. Look for it and it will be clear what their true intent is.

The greatest thing I feel I have ever been a part of in TV was Psychic Kids. It gave me the great opportunity to work with kids who experience things just like I did as a child. Dead Famous was great, and Ghost Hunters was cool. Taking away the fear in a child's eyes and helping him/her feel special is priceless. We are all special, with or without psychic abilities, and no one, I mean no one, should tell us otherwise. If I can't contribute to this field from being on TV, then I shouldn't be in it.

In that, I would rather be known as a hero to people then a celebrity. Celebrities come and go! Heroes keep on helping and contributing.

When it comes to be my beliefs, I will stand up for what is "truth" til the day I die, and then... I will come back and do it all over again.
