The Ghost and the Laughing Moose

My birthday was April 30^th and I was very sick with a cold.  Normally Larry would take me out for a Birthday Dinner and unfortunately I was too sick to go out for a celebration dinner. I surrendered to my illness and found some hot soup and a warm “blanket” to stop the world and heal.

A couple of days later my husband made a trip to the local airport.  Walking around he noticed a gift store, curious he walked in to browse.  Piled high in the entrance were these adorable stuff animals, one of which was a silly faced moose.  These “Chuckle Buddies” are motion activated for a rolling and laughing fit of happiness.  Knowing how bad I was still feeling, Larry thought of a chuckle for me and purchased this silly fun gift.

Bringing “the moose” home, Larry removed it from its box and laid it down on the hardwood floor in front of the kitchen area.  Larry called my name; I came out of my office, walked down the hall and right in front of the motion activation light. I almost jumped out of my skin, as this funny looking moose starts rolling around the floor and just laughing a hilarious roar over and over!  

After catching my breath and the moose stopped laughing, I walked in front of it several more times to make it laugh and laugh.  By this time, Larry and I are laughing as loud as this silly moose!

This silly moose had rolled into our enclosed kitchen area and was able to laugh its way around the kitchen island.  For the next several days we allowed ourselves to forget where it would continually walk in front of it.  In my office I can hear the mouse laugh when Larry walked in front of it and then I hear Larry start laughing also!  And then when I walked in front of it and start laughing Larry would come join me in the kitchen. 

Around a week later, in the later afternoon, I am in my office and I hear the moose start laughing.  I get up and walk into the hall to watch if Larry will start to laugh.  To my amazement Larry is in the hallway with a finger crossing across his mouth.  I am puzzled, I stand still and the moose then stops laughing.

As I look puzzled at Larry, he puts up his hand for me to not walk or move and then to my amazement the moose (out-of-sight from us) starts laughing and twirling on the floor!

Where we are standing is in the hallway away from the entrance to the kitchen.  The mouse is between the Island and the refrigerator and sink, laughing and rolling all on its own.

Larry has been aware that I have had several observations of a spirit woman walking around the house.  The original owner of this house was the land owner of this 600+ housing subdivision and at 90 years old and as a reward to herself she specially designed this house to live in.  The design is why we bought this house as it has several extra-large rooms, for my office and Larry’s TV Cabinets and furniture. 

I was told by my neighbor, Betty, who has lived in her house since the original owner moved into this one, that the description of this spirit lady and the 90 year old first owner is the same.  She lived here for four years, moved to a “retirement complex” and passed away two years later at 96 years old.  Though I had seen her, and she must have loved this house, she never acknowledged me or I thought so.

After asking Larry exactly where the moose was, I leaned into the kitchen and asked, “Are you the lady who built this house?”  As soon as I said that the moose started rolling around and laughing! 

Larry and I looked at each other and just smiled!

I asked again, “Is it ok if we live here with you?”  Just as soon as I was able to ask, the moose started laughing and twirling around! 

Again, so amazed!  Over this last week, while Larry has been at work, the moose, whether in the hallway or in the kitchen kept on laughing and twirling around all by itself.  This so amused me!  There are no windows that any shadows could make the moose just take off.  Clearly, my spirit lady is so enjoying her new toy!    

Spirit Mom gives a Gift at Christmas 2010

Over 30 years ago, while I was working at Pac Bell in Sacramento California, I met my friend Paula.  We were talking recently and I suggested for fun she should learn to intuit with a Tarot Desk of Cards.  I look at Tarot Cards for the fun and beauty of the designs, as the art work is usually unique and very beautiful.  I encourage new psychic students to practice using Tarot cards to developing their psychic hunches.

Shopping the last week in November for Christmas Gifts, I found a ‘gift box’ of “Discover Yourself” techniques with a small Tarot Desk of Cards.  The entire box was in beautiful reds, oranges and designs for the beginner intuitive to have lots of fun.  Thinking of my friend and my suggestion, I gladly thought this would be a fun to receive gift from me to her.

Getting home I looked at the box again and thought secondly that perhaps Paula would think this material was too young for her.  The contents looked to be geared to teenage girls.  Thinking I should get my friend a different holiday gift, I put this kit aside.

A few days later I got a call from “D” saying that her sister’s year death day was the 9^th of December and that she and her two sisters would like to come over to see how “L” was doing. 

A couple days later she called to say that “L’s” 15 yr. old daughter would bring along her best friend and the group total would be five.  I hung up the phone and started thinking about the mother and had such a strong sense that the gift that I had put aside would be perfect for her daughter! 

Well!  I bought some cookies and had small water containers ready for the ladies on Thursday the 9th.

I always enjoy talking to small groups, as each participant afterward can easily remember more to help each other understand better the messages given.

So, as we had all sat down, my first thought was to talk to the oldest sisters and explain to them about how I started;  my afterlife beliefs to relax them and for them to please enjoy our visit.

I glanced at the daughter and to her deceased mother standing behind her.  Instantly, I remembered the gift, and it was very clear to me presenting the gift was how I would begin the group session. 

So, today’s session was to start with a Christmas Gift to “L’s” 15 yr. old daughter.  

I told the daughter about how I purchased the gift for my friend, brought it home, and decided to put it aside.  Having just released my hand on the gift, “L” made her presence known to me and suggested I give it to her daughter.  What really surprised me was the Mom’s thoughts directed to me, “She is having trouble figuring herself out, and I am not there to help.  This is “my” Christmas Gift to her.” 

Really?  Wow!

Telling the daughter this, the Mother’s energy was soft and embracing not only to the daughter but also to me at the same time.  We all rushed to find the tissue box for the daughter to wipe her eyes.  She (Mom) was sorry she was not with her during her troubling times, that this gift was to let daughter know she (the Mom) was still in her daughter’s life.

After talking to the rest of the family and they left, I paused and reflected at the Mom’s ability to direct me to buy something for her daughter for Christmas.  Clearly, I am impressed by the love of this Spirit Mom to her child and how regretful she is for not being there for her.  In our daily lives I wonder how often do we get a message from Spirit and parley that into an action or gesture to let the living know of their presence.  Perhaps that idea to help us in our career or to say “love you” to someone just because, from our constant family in spirit. 

Perhaps that “thought” you just received is a soft spoken suggestion from our spirit guides or spirit family, to let us all be comforted in knowing we are not alone.         

Now He Believes in the Hereafter!

Howard and his wife Karen live in Northern California and I have been a friend of Karen’s for about 15 years. 

Karen is a professional hypnotherapist helping those who seek a change in their life, Howard a business man excellent at running his company.

Howard was on one of those usual out-of-town trips working sales with a factory rep.  This trip was to Southern California and Howard is able to stay with his brother

Normally he pays little attention to the psychic awareness that surrounds his world, with his wife’s interest in the paranormal and her friend Nancy (me).

My friend Karen and I have been involved for a couple of years investigating the idea and symptoms of ghost attachments.  Sharing with Howard what she is learning, Howard had not discredited her; but, casually dismisses her excitability and awe of spirits and ghosts.

Some of this excitability is contributed to my ability to see spirits and ghosts and to give a physical description of who is occupying your house with you or perhaps whom you are sharing your body with.  I have shared amazing ghost stories with her and helped her identify an “attachment” on a client seeking her out for help.

She came up with a great expression, “Where is that rabbit home!”  Meaning, Alice has a new adventure awaiting her down the rabbit hole!

Recall a moment of clarity when you have that “ah ha” moment, that perhaps that ghosts do exist.  You will not ever forget that moment, nor will your life be the same after that.

Or when you see something out of the corner of your eye?  You want to re-collect time and back it up, to remember every small detail again.

Now let me tell you about Howard.

Howard saying goodnight to his brother and his family headed up to bed.  After a visit with family and a late dinner, getting up in the middle of the night can be a nuisance but necessary.  He awoke and strangely he felt as if someone where looking at him.  Brushing that thought aside he got up and turned on the light next to the bed.  Traveling down the hall and back again he did not recall that strange feeling as he had gotten up.  Sitting down on the bed and pulling up his legs, he glanced to the end of the bed and saw a taller lean translucent form of a man sitting next to his feet.  Then looking down the height of the man to the bed, this spirit form actually made an impression!  Surprised, he could tell the man was looking at him!

Taking his breath, not knowing what to do, his logic just said, “Turn off the light and go to sleep, all this will go away.” 

Calling his wife Karen the next day Howard could almost not wait to tell her what had happened and if he should tell his brother that they had a “ghost” in the house.  She could not wait to ask me what I thought.  She calls me and gushes, “You won’t believe what happened to Howard!”  At first I thought perhaps he had won the big Lotto, because certainly she was acting as I would if I had won.

I stopped her and ask her to please tell me what happened.  She was able to tell me all about the trip and Howard saying he had seen this spirit.  Then she asked, “Anyway could you clue into who the spirit was?”  In telling me the story, she did not tell me how he had seen details about the spirit.  I gave a description of the taller-lean, grandfather looking spirit; and added that he wanted me to know that he was from the mid-west and that he had died of cancer. 

Karen thanked me and took this description and talked to Howard on the phone.  Howard did not recognize the facial, location and cancer comment.  He turned around and talked with his brother who explained that I had described their father.  Their father had been dead for some time, and Howard could not believe his father would visit him!  The brother confirmed and reminded Howard that he had been raised in Cleveland Ohio and died of cancer.  He had been a taller-lean man with a sharp jaw and skin coloring as I had said.  Karen told me after Howard had talked to his brother a metamorphosis had come over him, shaking his head he declared he was now a believer!

After all these years, Howard has now awakened!  Welcome Howard to the real world of the paranormal and to the continuity of life and survival.

Psychic Fair, Ghost Lecture and the ‘Ghost Dog Ret’

This past Sunday Sept 26^th, I was a participant in the Tucson Psychic Fair.  Always seems like a lot of work preparing all the flyers to take, making sure that once there I have brought a sample of different CD and DVD’s, enough books, tape recorder, materials for my talk, etc.  Once to the event I calm down and actually enjoy giving a talk and talking to clients.  My talk this past Sunday was scheduled for 2 PM and around 16 people originally sat down to listen, half way through four women walked in and stood in the back of the room to listen.  I invited them to sit down, and they would have had to break up being together, so they declined.

I love the topic, “Do you know your resident Ghost?” I can cover with the audience many different aspects of Ghost visitations.  This was to be the title of my Ghost book, which I recently changed to “Ghosts, Should We Be Afraid?”

I always ask at the beginning of a talk who, in the audience, believes they have a Ghost in their home.  Five ladies immediately raised their hands.  I acknowledged them and numbered them one through five, to talk to them in order of acknowledgement. 

Great talk that day, all sorts of ghost information.  After my intro I addressed the 1^st lady who raised her hand that the ghost man in her house said he was her father and after describing him she became excited as I had given his exact look.  The 2^nd lady had a much different home environment, as I saw lots and lots of orbs and described why her house was so active.  She admitted to being very psychic and actually wondered if she had invited them to live with her family.  The 3^rd lady bought a house which had been built close to a ranch and Indian settlement; so, in addition to deceased family I saw an “old cowboy and several Indians!”  “Wow” I exclaimed how many did she see?  She was actively seeing the old cowhand daily, had to tell him to stop smoking in her house as she was sensitive to the continual smoke smell.  She was enjoying the fact that the old cowboy sat down with her at night to watch TV.  I suspect that this old gent was amused by her large color TV and television shows.  How fun is that to have ‘ghosts’ watch TV with you!  

Now you may wonder what I picked up about this old cowhand, and when she talked of him, she was soft and clearly enjoyed him.  When I moved my mind to him, the feeling of liking her and of being lonely he sought somewhere he’d feel welcome and he chose her house.  He is what I’d call a “Transitory Spirit” someone who is not a trapped ghost, but a spirit who chooses not to be part of Spirit Land, but of our dimensional space and so he just travels until he decides to stay put for a while. 

So, don’t you also wonder who watches TV with you at night?

I talked with the audience for a few more minutes and as I decided to talk to lady #4, I glanced up to the four women friends standing at the end of the room.  I did not recognize any of them, but did notice that the lady on the right side had a large hairy dog standing right in front of her.  Puzzled, I began to address that woman and just then they began to turn to leave and one waved to me that they were done listening and were going to the event inside the banquet hall.  I was slightly disappointed, not that they were leaving since they had been standing for over a half hour, but that I had wanted to ask about this big dog.   We often talk about deceased family, but rarely do we ask about our deceased pets and wanted to address the group about this dog I had seen.  The talk continued for another 20 minutes and announced that I wanted to pass out free my first book and that my husband would do so.  I thank the group again and headed back to my table to finish up the last hour of the event talking to clients. 

Unknown to me these ladies had gone to my table and signed up to each have a session with me, as I sat down one of the ladies walked up to the table.  I’d like to admit here that I did not have my glasses on.  I rarely wear my glasses during a talk, as it feels uncomfortable.  Perhaps an energy issue, I may never know.  Anyway, the same ‘body shaped’ lady with the dog standing in front of her whom I had seen in the talk was the same lady walking up to my table first.  Not thinking how she would react, I waved to her and said, “Oh, you are the lady with the dog!”   Well, she was not aware that I had seen the dog in the talk, but as she walked to me that dog was right with her!  Her name is “Lisa” and she asked if I remember her from the spring event four months earlier, as she had talked about her deceased dog, “Ret”. 

I wish I could remember all the wonderful new friends that visit me at these events, but unfortunately unless I see you each time, faces become a blur.  So I gently told her I vaguely remember her story of a deceased dog, which I remember, a circumstance of a similar story as hers.

She had after the last event told her friends about me and they had decided to come and all of these ladies have lost a precious pet or pets, both dogs and cats.

Lisa and I talked of her deceased pets and she was quite satisfied that the loss of her five cats over the last three years some were still in her life and a couple were ‘elsewhere.’

Then she started to talk about ‘Ret’ clearly she missed him the most and was getting very emotional.  She was amazed that he was there with her.  I asked why would this be such a mystery, when she had just shared with me that as she was leaving the house she invited him by calling out his name, “Ret let us go and visit that lady again (meaning me).”  Clearly he jumped into the car when she opened the side door and then she went to the driver side and got in.   I went on to explain that when he was alive she treated him as part of her human family, he did not see himself as part of a dog pack.  He had never left her after his passing as he considered still existing in her world as his “heaven”. 

One of my first experiences with ‘ghost pets’ was during a cemetery tour at 10^th and Broadway, in Sacramento CA when I saw a ghost dog walking alone side his master at the front of a group of tour participants.  This small dog was right at the knees of his master, the man clearly not aware as his dog was walking in such an excited mode of a ‘walk with his master’.  Later in the tour with a few minutes to spare before walking to the next location, I asked this man if he had lost a small Whippet breed looking dog.  The man’s wife gasped and he gave a very blank look, the wife nudged him and thank me for giving them such great news that their beloved pet was still with them.  Clearly, that was the reason they came that night to see if I would acknowledge their secret desire to have their pet seen.

Our beloved pets will stay with you after their passing, if you treat them as part of your family.  If you treat them as they are part of a ‘dog pack with others in your home’ they may not acquire a human connection.  Once they do, they will remain and live in your home.

A friend of mine, whom I shared Lisa’s story, told me that she often walked a friend’s dog along with her dogs in the evening.  After the sudden death of this dog, and on several evening walks she had a sense of this dog brushing up against her leg wanting to be acknowledge.  She talked to me and I conferred that he was with her, she now calls out his name and off they now all walk! 

How many of you had heard the toe nail tapings of your deceased pet running down the hallway?  Another client was sharing with me that she could hear her deceased dog barking in the kitchen low and soft, distantly his voice.  As with human voices, dogs have their own sound and if you have several and one starts barking removed from your visual, you’ll know which one is the barker.

This was a successful Ghost Talk and Fair Event, because I had so many great ghost stories and emotional stories of beloved ‘Ghost Pets’ still in their owner’s lives.

Are Fairie Folk Ghosts?

In the mid-1990's I received a call from a woman whose daughter was an anorexic. This daughter was only 14 yrs old and having visions of "something" in her room and the mother wondered if there was a connection to some sort of ghost activity. The mother also wondered if the "visual disturbances" were a side effect of the daughter's anorexic illness. Clearly this made me nervous to think they wanted me to diagnosis a medical problem. Her anorexic medical issue was serious and clearly this young woman's health was in jeopardy. Though I was hesitating to investigate, at the mother's insistence, could I have just a look at what was happening in her room. Well sure enough, as the mother suspected, I found a group of lighted energy beings in her daughter's room.
The next big question was "what sort of activity" was this in her room? The daughter claimed these energy beings were telling her to kill herself. As I described my findings to the mother, she did recognize what I had seen as what she knew from what the daughter had told her.
The reason I brought this particular story up is what I saw next. Around the girl's window were some sparkly orbs moving about. Now normally I would just assume these were advanced spirit people not creating their entire physical form for me to recognize and tell the mom.
Oh no, something else! The girl had been asking for some help, but not from spirit family or ghosts, but from fairy kind! So, I identified these beings as "elementals" instantly created spirit folk. Created by her intense electrical energy of being a perfectionists and in emotional turmoil, these were "instantaneous beings".
I do believe that "fairy folk" can also be created by "earth electrical forces" and "spontaneous electrical lightening charges" almost like these electrical forces split creating "in-the-moment living beings".
Now an explanation to the above statement, when I moved my mind to these beings, I find instant singular thoughts and non-provoked actions from these life forms. Once I had an incredible experience of blending with a flying "bug", its thoughts were simple and non-flowing. I had no sense of its age, sex or sense of existence; just like from the flying "bug" I once had an incredible opportunity to blend with.
In some homes I have investigated, particularly one in Placerville CA, a young teenage girl living there was actually giving the poltergeist energy moving all the furniture around the house. Before I came to that conclusion, I fully investigated and found no uninvited ghosts or spirits living in the house at all.
The next conversation I had with the teen's mom was difficult; teen was emotionally delicate and was creating these beings to use as an excuse for attention and her illness.
I do not know how long these beings can exist without the continual living energy from the human host. I might add, this perhaps could happen more often in many ghosts investigations. The mother stated that her daughter after we talked and then then treated these beings as her children and that they glowed the most beautiful colors of frosted light blues and purples. Really an amazing phenomenon. The teen seemed to become happier thinking these were neither here to hurt or influence her life. She felt more in control.
I asked if she would have preferred this phenomenon to have been ghosts or spirits, she explained that the idea that she was responsible and created these beings was much more exciting.
We need to keep in perspective that there is more in heaven and earth than we can ever know and always be open to any possibility.
