Infants and PK Events

 

Infants and PK Events

Becoming a mom has given me new respect for so many things. Sleep is a fable that was once taken for granted. Add in to the mix an infant with PK (psychokinetic) energy and that little bit of sleep vanishes.


What is PK you ask? It is a known and documented event in which a person can
move objects with their mind. It is common in sleeping children to set off electronic
toys as they play in their sleep. This can happen with or without batteries in the
toys! As we grow up, this can extend to moving objects without touching them and
more.


Since nothing is normal in our household, our daughter began with PK while only a
few months old gestation. That's right, she wasn't born yet. At three months she
setting off her favorite toys. Once she arrived in all her glory, the PK settled down for
a few months. Around 6 months old, I couldn't calm the nightly toy noise. I tried
removing batteries and moving the active toy into different rooms without success.


In time, I learned to not allow her to play with her favorites right before bed. As she
grows, certain times will be more intense. After working with many families, times
of stress and change also increase PK events. The future will be an adventure for
our family. I'm just grateful for the working knowledge of PK events.  It won't keep me
from getting startled when things create noise by themselves.  It will allow me to ignore

it and fall back to sleep more easily.

Using "Gifts" to find fact.

 

Using "Gifts" to find fact.

As a medium and a psychic I am able to draw from very different resources to obtain unseen information.  The responsibility in only stating what I saw without adding or subtracting to the data is huge.  However, when extremely bizzare scenario's present themselves it makes it easy to question one's own sanity - until the scenario is found out to be valid.

All investigations for a sensitive are done with zero information upon arrival.  On this example I was one of three to have most unusual animal experiences.  I walked around a seemingly normal overgrown yard with stables in the rear.  I walked up to the stables.  Having raised horses, I wanted to see how they had them decked out.  To my shock as I looked into the first stall, a ghost tiger jump up to say hello.  However, the reaction scared the living crap out of me.  I walked to the next stall and cautiosly peered in.  I again did not see a horse, but a spirit pot belly pig!  The next stall housed a ghost bear.

There was one last older stall behind.  It's roof was caved in and I was desperate to find a horse and my sanity.  At the last stall, I found lots of spiders and the warm feeling of horses.

Now the bigger challenge was to be honest about my experience with my team.  I walked into the home and found myself speachless from the tiger.  The home owner did catch a glimpse of my expression.  Embarrassed, I confessed with difficulty.  It was then that I learned other member had similar experiences in other places on the property were the zoo animals played years ago. 

Did the horse stalls house lions, tigers, and bears - and a pig?  Yup!  The lesson was to simply state what you as the acting sensitve "see" no matter how bizzare!  Even if that is not fact, it may be how your brain interprets something on importance.  Do not ever try to figure out what you "see".  Just state it and move on to the next.  Give as many details as you see that could be verifiable without reading in to any thing.

That concludes tonights insight.

Paranormal Passion Helping Families

 

Paranormal Passion Helping Families

Hello friends -

After a way past desperately needed break, Dave and I are back to help those in paranormal need.  We dedicated every breathing minute building API up from nothing.  Dave even attended an investigation the eve of our wedding!  I labored over our website, acting case manager, and countless investigations.  Dave worried about all of the required paperwork, team members, new people coming in to ride the wave we created because tV made it cool to do.  And we burnt out after all of the stress that took away from our goal of helping those that NEED it.  So we walked away, thinking we would never return.  While we will not return to API, we have returned to " Provide Potential Solutions to Complicated Situations".  Dave and I focus on families in need and have stopped using the piles of paranormal "equipment" that once seemed essential.  We enjoy the relief of not be responsible for a team and all it entails.  And more importantly, we have been able to take care of us and our business; Classy Creations.

Dave is now a registered gemologist appraiser and I am half way done with the same schooling.  We have nested as a healthy couple - as healthy as two married paranormal investigators can be.  I am back to helping kids deal with feeling unexplained emotions and seeing relative they've never met.  My favorite work will always be with PK children and how it effects the family.  Dave's day job is with disabled kids.  He still loves seeing the relief in those young eyes dealing with paranormal events none of the family understand.

Now we move into our next chapter.  I will not be putting up another website.  If you would like to reach us do not use our old E-mail addresses.  Dave's phone is the same. 

We both still check our E-mail daily - some habits can't be broken.

And to our old and new friends, many life long hugs!



New book coming soon:  "Young and Seeing Ghosts, What to do?"  there will also be a children's book that comes with it for little ones.

Update November 2021:  Well that didn't last !  We are back at it again at http://benderparanormal.com

Can anybody see a ghost?

 

Can anybody see a ghost?

One of the most frequent questions asked is, "Can anybody see ghosts?"

The answer is yes.  In fact, many investigation requests originate from those that have never had an unexplainable experience before and are suddenly meet with something they can't rationalize.  It can be as simple as sitting on a park bench and seeing a lady that isn't there vanish in front of them after talking to that lady.  Or perhaps a new parent is dealing with their infant interacting to something unseen.  Sometimes it's a new house, or an old house that's been remodeled.  Other times there is a recent death and a person is woken to the recently passed loved one.

 In any situation, there doesn't have to be any prior paranormal encounter or knowledge of spirits.  Unfortunately, it is often more frightening the first time one sees a ghost and it isn't on TV.  The natural response is, "I didn't just see that."  The next step is to explain what the person did really see and investigate.  However, depending on what was seen this may be too scary for some.

The number one thing to remember is a ghost or spirit is not like TV and will not typically cause any physical harm.  The media makes ghosts out to be scary for ratings to sell movies.  While each situation must be taken on a case by case basis, if you have had a spirit around for years and it hasn't hurt you.  Then the likelihood of it every bothering you is pretty darn low.  As my husband says, "Just ask them to pay rent!"  Now we have had a case of one spirit doing the laundry.  I offered to bring them home, but my husband said, "no".

So can anybody have a paranormal experience?  Absolutely!  In fact it's usually when you least expect it too.  Just remember to remain calm and not think of those scary Halloween movies.

A private moment between this world and the next.

For those that know me growing up, I was able to sleep through anything.  The night of my grandfather's passing (in another state) he woke me with his pipe smoke at the time of his passing.  He even had to wake me a second time to make sure I gave my mother his message.  Now, here was the catch.  My mother and I never spoke of what I had the ability to "see".  Even more distressing, "How does a child tell her mother that her no longer living father has a very important message for her?"  Since I promised him would tell her, I had to figure out a way.  I'll tell you now that it took me five years to deliver grandpa's message.  The message was exactly what she needed to hear most from him and I had no way of knowing.

Why do I share this?  For those of you that sit in silence and are too afraid to break that silence.  There comes a time when you know in your heart that you have to put your own feelings aside.  Yes, you will be hurt from time to time.  However, you will suffer even more by sitting in silence. 

In the end for me, there was a new bond formed between my mother and I.  I was able to share things I saw as a child about her family.  She later showed me pictures that I had never seen.  One of the ladies I thought was a stranger growing up, was actually an aunt that was very close to my mother.

To this day I can still smell my grandfather's pipe smoke.  Mom knows he is around when she smells it now.  I've been visited by other relatives at the time of passing, but never jarred awake for the purpose of giving anybody a message.  It's easy to relate to stranger's that have passed.  However, when it's family asking for help it is so very much more difficult.

Out of this, I was forced to open up.  I had not told anybody to what extent I saw dead people until then.  After that I began work as a paramedic.  I new what equipment to grab because I saw the victims and the injuries before we got to the scenes.  Perhaps grandpa was preparing me?

My First Ghost Story

 

My First Ghost Story

It began with mom and dad cleaning out the closed off room in our 100 year old farm house.  I was five, but it seemed like yesterday.  I peeked inside this once sealed room to see thick dust over old dressers and cob webs everywhere.  It was like the movie "Child of Glass" when they entered the old abandoned farm house.  What made it so odd, was this room had not just been closed, but painted and nailed closed.  I asked once, but there was no answer as to why.

When I first entered the room under restoration, it felt like an ice box and scared me terribly.  It wasn't too long before my sister and I had to sleep in there on our bunk beds.  That was the last time I rested at night.  I felt like I was being watched from the foot of my bed near the window.  I even put my pillow down there so I wouldn't feel my imagination staring at me.  That made it worse, and I slept with the covers over my head.  Not long after that I felt an especially strong urge to look at the corner of my bed, only to see an elderly woman with big curly gray hair in a black high collar dress.  She was not family.  I can only guess she lived in the home with the original owners.  She wasn't mean, but very stern.  I now she looked after me, but I still couldn't rest knowing I was being watched.

When I was in my early teens, I was given the option of moving into the front tiny bedroom or staying in that large one by myself.  To my parents surprise, I jumped at the chance to leave the room.

I don't know how long after it was that the dreams of a fire began.  Our whole family got out every time, but the fire was always in the same place. When I asked about the fire in the kitchen downstairs, my mom turned white.  She had never spoken of it.  I begged her to tell me what she knew.  She made me tell her why I was asking and every detail of my daily dream.  She still had no colour.

She finally confirmed that there was a fire exactly were I told her and to stop asking questions about it.  It was made clear that my "vision" was unacceptable.

I struggled through many years of growing and seeing things that I knew to be glimpses of the past or future.  It wouldn't be until I was over 30 until I found a way to share what I saw routinely.

This is why I have such passion for helping children and families with unexplainable events.  Nobody needs to live in fear by themselves.  They could have taught me how to figure out that some of what I heard, was just an old creaky house.  Now we have an amazing relationship and I would not have changed a thing in how they raised me.  It made me who I am and able to help others.
