Afterlife
The Haunted Typewriter
When I was growing up my mother had a typewriter that had been in the family for a long time. I never knew much about its history.
One day I was invited to a family reunion at my aunt and uncle’s house. After my mother had passed away I never had much contact with them. We sat around and talked about my mother being a psychic and how she experienced many paranormal stuff as a child. My aunt took out a family photo album she had shown me before and in one of the pictures there was a picture of an old, black typewriter. She told me that it was a 1920’s Royal typewriter and that my grandfather received it as payment for working on someone house. The homeowners didn’t have the money to pay him for his services.

Old Green Eyes – The Ghost of Chickamauga
The American Civil War was fought 150 years ago, yet people remain fascinated with its history. As it turns out, the battlefield said to be the most haunted is located right here in the South, not too far from where I live.
Chickamauga, on the border of Tennessee and Georgia, takes its name from a Native American word meaning “bloody river.” It was the second bloodiest battle of the war after Gettysburg, so the name turned out to be quite fitting.
Many ghosts, including those of a Confederate soldier and a bride-to-be pining for her lost fiancée, have been spotted at Chickamauga. But the most famous legend, “Old Green Eyes,” may not even be a traditional ghost at all. Legends surrounding the spirit go back to the Cherokee and Creek tribes who originally lived in the area. They tell of a large-bodied creature, or sometimes a floating head, with sharp fangs and glowing green eyes. Continue reading
Shadow Beings Be Gone!
Very recently, for a period of just a few days at around dusk, I kept on seeing dark shadow figures to my left, in my peripheral vision. These dark shadows would move quickly and, although not eerie, they were unlike what I usually witness when I see spirit. My Husky cross, Collie, is always sensitive to the presence of spirit in my work room, and I know from her stares at these dark shadows that she saw them too, but she wasn’t at all perturbed.
It occurred to me only a few days ago that during that brief period of witnessing the shadowy figures, a few chaotic days followed: a water heater burst, a generator went up in smoke, the washing machine seemed to have reprogrammed itself, my older dog was diagnosed with a tumor, my youngest dog ate some of my cash money, as well as other minor aggravations, like power outages.

The Secret Wisdom Of A Dream Journal – Part 2
I have always had very interesting dreams – re-occurring dreams, scary dreams, wonderful dreams, dreams of all kinds. When I was a child I always looked forward to going to sleep, because it was like seeing a fantasy movie while I slept.
I’ve always been curious about dreams and used to wonder if there was something more to them than just random mental wanderings that meant nothing. Today, I am very much aware that they are very meaningful. This is why I believe everyone should keep a dream journal!
It is so very important to record your dreams. You may be thinking that you don’t dream, or that you don’t remember them. Many of my family members have claimed the same thing, so for Christmas I gave them all moonstones and told them to place them under their pillows. Continue reading
The Secret Wisdom Of A Dream Journal – Part 1
This very well may be the most important blog I have ever written. I can say it with certainty; it is the closest to my heart. Please get yourself a notebook or make your own dream journal, and keep it by your bedside.
When my grandfather was in this physical realm he spoke several times with me about the afterlife and how he intended to make contact with me after his passing, if there was any way for him to do it. He kept his promise.
He is one of the few people that I could talk with about anything related to psychic abilities, mediumship and paranormal phenomena. I think he was so open-minded because he was a true believer. He firmly believed that the soul exists, and that life lives on after death, just in a different form. He shared with me many times in great depth how he has seen his body from above as he floated during out-of-body experiences, and many other astral traveling experiences. Continue reading
