Strange things happen. As human beings, we like to know why. I'm not psychic or a medium, but I have had experiences that make me stop and wonder what happened. Thought I'd share a few. 

Orbs

Picture
Friends holding a healing session in my home.
A lot of people pooh-pooh orbs. I did, too, at one time. But then I met Mary Scott who taught me about them. 

I've taken lots of pictures in my house and there were never any orbs in the shots. After meeting Mary and having her hold healing sessions in my house, I have orbs in my pictures. They come and go, but the point is, they were never there before. 

No orbs in my living room/dining room.

Moments later, orbs appear using the same camera.

Bending a Spoon

Picture
This is a photo of the spoon I bent in a class I took with psychic Dianne Morrissey.  


Dianne had everyone bring a spoon. We held our spoons at the very bottom with one hand and used the index finger of our other hand to hook over the tip top of the spoon. She did a visualization with us so that we all pictured energy coming from above, entering our heads, moving through our shoulder, down our arm into our hand, through our finger, into the spoon, settling in the neck of the spoon.  Then the entire class shouted, “Bend, bend, bend.” 


We pulled on the tip top of the spoon and my spoon bent at the neck like that neck was soft play dough. Of course, I freaked out and it stopped bending immediately. It was an exercise to show us the power of our minds and how we can manipulate energy.

My Husband's Parents Stop By 
 for the Camera

Picture
My husband’s parents lived with us briefly before we had to put both of them in nursing homes. My husband's father died in 1999 and his mother in 2000. The winter after she died it snowed at our house. I believe this was the first snow we’d experienced at our home and my husband went out to take pictures. He used a regular 35 millimeter camera. 

The pictures we developed included the one shown above. There are two heads looking into the camera. One is peering around the other and you can see the collar of the clothes. To my husband and I it is clearly his parents saying ‘hi.’  It’s like they used the moisture in the air to form mist in their images.


Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) Caught at the Stanley Hotel

I stayed at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park Colorado in May/June of 2012. This is the hotel that inspired Stephen King to write "The Shining." The hotel offers ghost hunts. I went on one and recorded the hunt.

There is a room called Lucy’s room in the Concert Hall of the Stanley. It is haunted by the spirit of a girl named Lucy who likes to shut the door to the room. I stood at the door and told her, “Lucy, I’m going to take your picture, okay?” And when I listened to the recording several days later I heard her answer, “'kay.”
