Living with paranormal experiences and invisible medical issues in an unbelieving world
My childhood paranormal experiences led me, not surprisingly, to an interest in ghosts and other anomalous things like the Loch Ness Monster, big foot and UFOs. Some of this I came by quite naturally. My dad’s side of the family are intellectually curious and academic, but aren’t so locked into materialism that they aren’t interested […]
I am a University of Arizona alumni. I loved going to school in Tucson, and moved to Phoenix about a year after graduation. I was in my early twenties and it was a fun place to be at that stage in my life. For about a year, I dated a guy I’ll call Mike. For […]
You might be familiar with the “game” called Ouija Board. Trying to communicate with spirits used to be a normal activity in the past. It is claimed that even the Lincoln Whitehouse conducted séances. According to an interesting article in the Smithsonian Magazine, a toy store and novelty shop in Pittsburgh started selling Ouija boards […]

For about four years, starting at about age 3, I had a nightly encounter with what I have named the Knocking Thing. From what I remember, when I was a toddler, my bedroom window faced the street side of our Southern California house. It had shuttered windows, and my single bed was placed up against […]
As you’ll read in this blog, I have had a lot of unique experiences, things that our current scientific paradigm and culture say don’t and can’t happen. I have spent a lifetime knowing that I can’t make up the things I’ve experienced, yet I have actively hidden myself, seeking to pass as “normal” so that […]
I think it’s interesting to ask people about their earliest memories. They are usually talk about ordinary things, like a favorite toy or pet, a trip to the beach, or the first days of school. Not for me. My earliest memories are about things I still can’t explain, and remain strong in detail and feeling, […]
This is my first experience blogging. The idea of starting a blog has been on my mind for a few years, and I finally summoned the courage to write about some of my life experiences. I’m feel like I’m an ordinary person. I’ve been a public servant for most of my career. I’ve been married […]
