ANOTHER DAY,
ANOTHER DIMENSION

NJ Transit Bus Stop

This truly happened to me, and it was strange.  One cold February morning in 2014, I set out for New Jersey Transit’s Allwood Road bus station at 5:35 a.m. sharp, as always. The stars were particularly bright that morning.  As I turned North onto Mountain Avenue – BAM -- it felt as if my car hit a wall of solid air.   Suddenly it was difficult to breathe then difficult to think as my mind slid into         ...

ON SOME NIGHTS,
GETTYSBURG
RESTS IN PEACE

Battle of Gettysburg Medic Tent

​At one time my cousin Nancy ran a business from a one-story corrugated-steel building on Fairfield Road, three miles from the center of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.  At the time, she was living with a charming but quick-tempered man. ​​​​​​​​​ One night they argued, and Nancy stormed out to find a hotel.  Unfortunately, it was graduation week at Gettysburg College and every room in town was          ...

HEARING IS
BELIEVING 

Church of the Two Worlds

​Some of the best mediumship is evidential, meaning that the people, events, and circumstances that a medium claims to come from spirit can be substantiated by facts.  A few years ago, a well-known East Coast medium said to me, “I have a woman.  I'm aware that she’s your mother.”  Then he started laughing, “She’s telling me that you’ve got to get rid that old wedding dress, the one that you've    ...​​​​​​​​​

THE
CALL-IN

Star.jpg

In 2014 I became acquainted with the author of a series of books recounting loads of unsettling UAP encounters -- largely his own. (UAP’s: unidentified aerial phenomenon.)  His stories were fascinating, especially the ones that never saw the light of day, like the one he told me quietly involving call ins, where he and his cronies psychically dialed-up UAP’s to appear at a designated time and         ...

EVERY BOY NEEDS
A FRIEND

Young Man Daguerreotype

​Glimpses of the afterlife come in many shapes and forms.  A young man named Jason told me this story. One morning, while he was growing up in Burlington, Connecticut, Jason began talking to a man pacing outside of his grandmother’s house. The man looked to be in his late twenties; was wearing a tattered white shirt, brown workpants, and suspenders.                                                      ...

SOMETHING WICKED
THIS WAY COMES

Seaview Hospital Staten Island

​Bruce is a salt-of-the-earth paranormal investigator from Staten Island whose team prefers scientific methods rather than instinct.  At times they may bring a medium, but they never forget their digital voice recorders, electromagnetic field detectors, thermal scanners, digital cameras, and infra-red lenses.  As dusk turned to night, he and I drove by a vacant brick Staten Island hospital         ...

GOODBYE
NEIGHBORS

Porch Ghost Caldwell New Jersey

​I was raised near Caldwell, New Jersey, twenty miles west of Manhattan.  In the early 1960’s few Victorian houses remained along the main corridor, Bloomfield Avenue.  They were being rapidly torn down to make way for apartments and retail storefronts.  On the south side of the street, near where the old Sunnyfield Pool once operated, stands an ugly, single floor,  barn-like office  ...

THEN CAME THE
LIGHT

Column of Light

​I offer two true encounters with the other side telling of ethereal rescue in the form of luminous columns of white light.

 

Dana is a gentle soul with patient ways who breaks into a guilty smile when she talks about trifling with white magic.  One morning she was shocked awake by               ...

THE DEAD DON'T
CHANGE

Scrooge.jpg

​People don’t change when they cross over.  Happy-go-Luckies in life come through from the other side chirping and happy, worriers have new worries to pass along, curmudgeons stay curmudgeonly. 

 

A few years back I made contact with a mother in spirit who had kind words for everyone on this side except for    ...

SARATOGA'S
HAUNTED RAVINE

Saratoga_National_Historical_Park_entrance_sign,_New_York.jpg

Encountering the dead at Saratoga was frightening.

 

The park sits on 3,400 acres of sloping fields and pristine woodlands, atop dramatic bluffs overlooking the Hudson River.  The two Battles of Saratoga took place on Septem-ber 19 and October 7, 1777, and marked a turning point for the American Rebels, as the British called them.             ...

This story was graciously contributed by Virginia Medium John Moore (MediumJohnMoore.com).  John possesses the unique ability to connect with the spirit of living men and women whose consciousness is trapped between life and death, tapping into the soul of someone in the process of departing our plane suffering from the condition that we term Alzheimer’s or Dementia.                                                    ...

DO NOT SPEAK ILL
OF HYDE HALL'S DEAD
Hyde Hall New York

Mediums love running into spirits.  One gorgeous Fourth of July I made the drive to Cooperstown, New York.   Hyde Hall is a magnificent Georgian limestone house, sitting grandly atop a hill overlooking the tall pines that encircle Lake Otsego. The house was finished in 1834 for British-born George Clarke, who died just a year after it was completed.                                                                                            ...

DO MEDIUMS
TELL THE FUTURE?

Crystal Ball

Mediums are trained to be a straightforward conduits between the living and the dead and to never, ever guild the lily.  I've found that some sitters expect a medium to be able to tell the future because they believe that spirits can tell the future.  In my experience, when a spirit mentions the future they do so in the same way they would were if they alive.                                                                                              ...

A GHOST
AT THE OLD PRISON

Ghost at old Essex County Prison North Caldwell

​I talk to the dead all the time but only on occasion have seen a ghost.  One evening in September 2020, I was headed down Mountain Avenue in North Caldwell, New Jersey, in the direction of the old county prison, before it was demolished.  Dusk was changing to twilight.   As I turned onto Elm Road suddenly the lower torso of        ...

THE ROOM
UPSTAIRS

Spy House Seabrook Wilson House

​For over 350 years people have habituated the place where Spy House, also known as the Seabrook-Wilson Homestead, faces Sandy Hook Bay in Port Monmouth, New Jersey.   In an early incarnation, the property housed settlers who met violent death at the hands of local tribes,  but its chief notoriety harks back to the years when rebels, loyalists, officers, spies,  travelers, mothers, and            ...​​​​​​​​​

FROM THE
HORSE'S MOUTH

​While a medium will sometimes reach a departed animal, for the most part mediums connect with deceased humans on the other side, tune into what they have to say, and pass their words on to the living.  A psychic, on the other hand, links with the living, reads that person’s energy, and shares insights about his or her life.  I’ve always been intrigued by animal communicators: psychics who can tune into         ...

TIME TO MEET
YOUR FATHER

Lonely Boy

My father was cynical, argumentative, contrarian, moody and agnostic so when he died as dramatically as he’d lived my sister worried that he’d been sent to some dark, lowly plane.  A week after the funeral, as a special favor, a well-respected energy healer reluctantly dusted off her mediumship skills and focused on my late father.  It didn’t take her long to find him.                                                               ...
