In this podcast, I share my true
ghost stories, exploring those
moments of connection between
this side and the other side.
So join me as I explore these
experiences one true tale at a time.
Welcome to episode three
of My True Ghost Stories.
I have three tales for you today.
The first is about clearing a spooky
lingering energy in a restaurant
that was nearing its grand opening.
The second is about a weird and
formative paranormal experience
I had as a 10 year old.
And the third is the first of
many stories that take place
in a church in my neighborhood.
And let's begin.
Speaker: The name of this
story is New Restaurant.
I was contacted by a restaurant owner
who was opening a new restaurant in
her neighborhood and she needed me
to address a negative yucky energy
that was inside and she was planning
to open this restaurant in two weeks.
This location had already housed a
few restaurants that had not lasted
long, and she was doing everything
here that she could to succeed.
I met her there to assess the
situation and make a plan.
The outside of the restaurant
looked great, and the interior
was absolutely beautiful.
It was structurally sound, and she had
made incredible cosmetic improvements,
better lighting, new paint, new chairs
and tables, artwork, and it had, from
the appearance, what you would think
would be a relaxing, serene vibe.
However, there was a
heavy negative energy.
Just hanging in the air, like a bad smell
or a high pitched ringing sound, and
it made you want to get out of there.
Obviously, this is not in the recipe
for a successful restaurant business.
We have to get this out of here,
the restaurant owner said to me.
Yes, we do, I replied.
And I knew that I could do
it because this is what I do.
Right there, I took some time, I sat
in the center of the space, I walked
around, and I was looking for the
source of the negative yucky energy.
And I eventually found the primary source.
In the kitchen, hunched over
the center island was a man.
I could tell that he was wearing a tan
Carhartt winter coat and he had dark
hair and his face was in his hands.
And the sadness coming from
this spirit was overwhelming.
Tears came to my eyes
immediately upon finding him.
And there is something a little
different about this spirit
from what I've seen before.
Now, although his image was there
and his sadness was there, he
wasn't moving or talking to me.
It was just an image and the sadness.
So right there in the restaurant,
I communicated with my guides and I got
the message that this spirit is what I
will call partially ascended, leaving
behind his sadness and this pain of
his need to join him on the other side.
So that he could get the help he needs.
So far in my journey as a spiritual
medium, I have only received
glimpses of the other side.
And from what I can tell, it seems that
over there, there is help and progress
and levels and more and more peace.
So I only know a little.
But it's definitely a positive place
where I think one continues to evolve.
The restaurant owner and I made a
plan for me to come back in a few days
to perform a crossing over ceremony
and a subsequent energy clearing.
I went home and began
preparing these two rituals.
Part of the preparation is a meditation
where I get instructions from my
guides and the spirit's guides about
what the ritual needs to include.
Sometimes I will get communication from
the spirit themself about what they need,
but this did not happen in this case.
And as I described earlier, this spirit
was not moving or talking and seemed to
be like a shell, or only partially there.
The initial guidance I had gotten
from my guides while still at the
restaurant was that the spirit
was only partially ascended.
So what I would be doing
would be sending the rest.
I believe this is so he could be
whole, move to his next level,
and receive the help he needed.
That was the first part of the ritual,
and this part I would do alone.
The second part would be a full restaurant
energy clearing using all my tools.
Candles, prayers, smudge, my wand,
some ritual dance y type stuff,
a spray bottle with a special
spiritual concoction in it, and more.
This part I would do together
with the restaurant owner.
And these plans are what came
from my preparatory meditation.
I arrived at our designated
time and the owner met me there.
I began my setup as she asked the guys
who were working on setting up the kitchen
to take the morning off so that we could
have the restaurant clear for this work.
And she told them what we were doing.
And the guys were complete believers.
They understood without question,
but they did want to ask if I had
a special tool that I was going
to use and could they see it.
So I happily showed them my wand, which
was made for me by a craftswoman who
was, uses symbolic stones in her work.
So I've included a link
to her information.
They asked me a few questions
and then happily left for the
morning and I got started.
I did the crossing over ceremony alone
and it went well and I was able to send
this partial spirit to the other side.
So I don't know exactly what happens
after they cross, but you could feel the
difference in that kitchen immediately.
And then I closed up the portal,
which is important to do because
all sorts of ghosts will come
back down through it if you don't.
And then I did some concluding
prayers to my guides and his guides.
Then came time to clear the
restaurant of all the lingering
negative energy and it was there.
In fact, the restaurant owner told
me she had been talking to people
in the neighborhood and they were
saying that they hadn't liked going
to the previous restaurants that had
occupied the space because of a bad
energy that they couldn't quite define
so this had been going on for a while.
I put a protective shield around her
and around me so that no negative
energy would attach to us and we
began cleaning the space using all
my tools, ritual movements, and the
instructions given to me by my guides.
And it took about an hour to do the
whole restaurant and the entire basement.
I decided to do a little research on
lingering energy and, I found an article
entitled, The Science of Bad Vibes.
Can some places really
hold on to negative energy?
And it's from the science section
of the Popular Mechanics website.
And this article says, Our habitat may
not be as neutral as we perceive it to be.
explaining the goosebumps and sick
to your stomach feeling you may
experience in haunted houses or
sites where violence took place.
There are three predominant
theories for this phenomenon.
The presence of emotional residue, or
leftover evidence of past emotions that
are still lurking around, Geopathic
stress emanating from Earth itself.
and the power of our
mind's own expectations.
It's possible that this restaurant
is built on some geological fault
or that people were experiencing bad
vibes because they were expecting them
because of all the failed restaurants
that had occupied this space.
But to me, a medium, it seems
obvious that it was the phenomenon
of emotional residue that was
causing most of the negative energy.
From whatever went on there before, and
from this departed spirit whose residue
was for some reason in the kitchen.
The article goes on to say, Emotions
have the potential to infect or
brighten their physical surroundings,
even after their source has physically
moved to a new location, according
to the emotional residue phenomenon.
A professor of environmental science
and public policy at Northeastern
University tells Popular Mechanics,
While I don't know of any Western science
that demonstrates the influence of any
energy signature, which is the unique
vibration of an object, person, system,
or organism, I definitely believe that
there is still lots to learn about how
humans are influenced by our environments.
And I agree.
And back to our story.
After I finished clearing the
space, I was, as I always am,
physically and mentally exhausted.
, and I have learned from experience
that I cannot chit chat after a job.
All I can do is recap what we did,
drink some water, and give instructions
on maintenance, and then I gotta go.
So she and I sat and did this.
It takes about 15 minutes
and I went on my way.
About two weeks later, maybe a little
bit more, I got a text from her with lots
of happy emojis and exclamation points.
The restaurant had opened.
Local customers who had dined in
that space before she owned it
came in to check out the new place.
And she said in her happy text
that more than one of these local
customers had said, There used
to be such a negative energy in
here, it feels so much better now.
And so she told them about the
energy clearing and she even handed
out my card to a few of them.
And I have checked in with her since,
and she says that the space has remained
positive, light, and airy, and the
business is doing very, very well.
Speaker 2: And here is
today's second story
Speaker: The name of
this story is Time Slip.
I grew up in a neighborhood where
the kids played out in front of the
houses, drawing with chalk on the
sidewalk, playing hopscotch, hide and
seek, riding our bikes, basically,
you know, exhausting ourselves.
And for the most part, it was out
in front and not in the backyards
because all the moms sat out on
the front porches watching us.
And anybody's mother could yell at you.
It was culturally accepted that if you
were out playing in front of someone
else's house and you misbehaved, You
would get yelled at like six times
before you even reached your own house
for your own mother to yell at you.
But on this particular day, the
playing, there's no misbehaving in
this story, happened in my backyard.
I was out alone in my backyard as
a kid one summer morning, and my
mother's beautiful garden was in full
bloom and I was snacking on ripe,
juicy blackberries right off the bush.
The blackberry bush was in the sun,
but most of the yard was shady,
as the sun was still behind the
house, and it was relatively quiet.
As the neighbors were still
in their houses and there was
not much traffic out front.
So I gathered a handful of blackberries
and brought them into the shade to
sit on the cellar door and eat them.
And as I sat down, I heard my
mother's voice distinctly say, I
heard my mother's voice distinctly
say, Tell Scott that his mother is
calling him and he has to go home.
I looked around, and my mother was
nowhere in sight, and neither was Scott,
my neighbor from across the street.
So this was a little weird, and
although it had sounded very real, I
did conclude that the voice was in my
head and not from my mother, so I just
resumed snacking on the blackberries.
Later that afternoon, for some
reason, a few kids from the block
wound up playing in my backyard.
And I don't remember what we were
playing, but I do recall sidewalk
chalk and also some dancing.
And in the group were my next door
neighbors, one girl from down the
block, and Scott from across the street.
This was unique as Scott was never
in my backyard or rarely even on
my side of the street because he
wasn't allowed to cross by himself.
So we were fully engrossed in a
dance party when my mother came
out onto the back porch and said to
me, Tell Scott that his mother is
calling him and he has to go home.
And was like a recording of
what I had heard in my head
that morning, exactly the same.
So I told Scott he stopped dancing and
my mom walked him down the alley so
that he could cross, she could cross
him over to his side of the street.
I continued playing with the kids who were
left but I remember being somewhat shaken
by having heard this exact replay of what
I had heard in my head in this location
hours before it had actually happened.
That evening, after dinner, my mom
was sitting in the kitchen and I
came in to talk to her about this
weird experience that I had had.
I told her that I had heard her
tell Scott that his mother was
calling and he had to go home hours
before she had actually said it.
My mother is so cool and open
minded to this type of thing.
So, she told me that it's possible
that time and events are all running
simultaneously and that what is going
to happen is also happening now.
And I had merely caught a glimpse of the
near future and that was totally fine.
And she explained it in a way that
my young mind could understand,
and her matter of fact manner led
me to just accept this type of
occurrence as a normal part of life.
An article from Psychology Today,
dated January 9th, 2022, entitled,
Time Slips, The Multiverse, and You.
describes time slips as a paranormal
episode during which someone or a
group of people somehow experienced
traveling through time without
knowing how or why it occurred.
So it is plain that I had
experienced that day a very brief,
very simple example of time slip.
A time slip.
So I'm going to make up a term.
I'm going to call it an audio time slip.
I'm totally making that
up, but that's what it was.
Without the influence of my open minded
mother, I might have disregarded this
altogether, or at least kept it to myself.
Like, if she were the kind of person who
I knew would react with, you know, don't
be ridiculous, or make a joke like, ooh,
you're scarier, then, I would have been
the kind of kid who would have pushed this
level of consciousness down into something
to be embarrassed about and eventually I
would have completely lost touch with it,
which I think happens to a lot of people.
Because of this freedom to be who I am,
at least by my family, not so much the
neighborhood, they were not that type of
person because of this freedom, I have
had many experiences like this in my life.
And rather than be freaked out by them,
I am able to say, Oh, you know, that
was just the future running parallel
to the present, like my mom explained.
And now I'm a medium.
, thanks mom So if you have a little blast
from the future or the past, I encourage
you to reconsider your concept of time.
and our third story is
called Storage Room,
Speaker: There's a church in my
neighborhood and the congregation
of this church began in a small
rented home in the late 1800s and
the cornerstone for the present
building was laid in the late 1890s.
This building, from what I hear, is
built on top of one of the ley lines
that runs through New York City.
So there is lots of spirit
activity in this building.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines
a ley line as a hypothetical straight
line connecting prehistoric sites,
etc., frequently regarded as the
line of an ancient track and credited
by some with paranormal properties.
And I believe in them.
Someday I will do a whole
podcast episode about them.
However, today I am going to
tell you the first of many, many
stories from this church building.
And here goes.
I was asleep in my bed, not at
church, and I had the dream of a
man trying to get out of a room.
And he was panicking, and he was circling
the room, and he was feeling the walls,
and he was pulling on a locked door.
And finally, in this dream, he turns
to me, the viewer, and says, help me.
I recognized the room as a storage
room I had seen at this church,
and the door was always open.
So when I woke up in the morning after
that dream, I needed some time and
some coffee to make sense of the dream.
And I decided to call someone that I
know who works at that church and who
is familiar with this sort of thing.
And I told her.
I think there's a spirit in the storage
room downstairs, and he seems to be
trapped, and he wants me to help him.
And she said, Wow!
We just closed that door yesterday!
And she told me that the door had
been open for years, and for some
maintenance reason they had decided to
now keep it closed, starting yesterday.
So I guess the spirit lived
or existed in there, or he was in
there when they closed the door,
and suddenly felt trapped and he was
obviously used to having the option
of going in and out of that door.
I asked if I could come by that
afternoon to investigate and I arrived
at the church and I went down to the
storage room with the closed door
. I opened the door and turned on the
light and I looked around and then
sitting in the window looking so upset
and afraid was the man from my dream
and it was heartbreaking the level of
distress that this spirit was showing.
So I said in my most friendly voice that
I could, I said, Well, there you are.
Hello.
I'm here.
The door is open now.
But he appeared to be exhausted and
didn't move towards me or the door.
So I said, Okay, come on, let's go.
It's okay.
Come with me.
Come with me.
I tried to be as reassuring
and nice as I could.
And the messages I started receiving
right then and there from my guides
and his guides told me that it
was time for him to cross over.
So he left the windowsill where he was
sitting and he came with me through the
door and we went out into the hallway.
And this spirit needed
specific instructions.
to ascend, which I received
from the guides involved.
And these instructions are usually
certain prompts and things to say
to them, often involving people
that they might see on the other
side or things that they might love
that would be on the other side.
And I don't remember the exact messages
for this spirit from his guides, but I
do remember that he was very willing to
cross over, which is not always the case.
And I imagine he had been lingering
and maybe even trapped for some
time, and he needed someone
like me to help him cross over.
I created a portal for him.
and I helped him to go through it using
the prompts that I was given by our
guides, and he went through very quickly.
So after he went through the portal,
I sealed it up, which is very
important to do, and I received
no more messages from this spirit.
So I assume he has moved on to a more
peaceful existence on the other side.
Again, as I said earlier, this is
the first of many, many stories
from this very spiritually active
church building, so stay tuned.
And that's all for today.
