Living with paranormal experiences and invisible medical issues in an unbelieving world
Almost eight years ago, I flew to Sacramento to visit my sister several months after my niece was born. My sister and her now ex had bought a house in a nice, older neighborhood. My sister mentioned that a couple of weird things had happened, such as finding rocks on things they had not placed […]
In my 40s, I started purposely pursuing my interest in spirituality, which I will discuss more in other posts. One thing I started learning to do was to pay more attention to information that came to me, understanding that we often receive guidance. People have a variety of ideas about where guidance comes from. It […]
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.

I had a decorative Holly Hobby plate (yes, […]
In the early 1970s, when I was around 7 years old, my family moved from Southern California to the Seattle area. The neighborhood we moved to was beautiful. There were fields with fruit trees, a creek down a hill from our house and tall trees everywhere. Our house was a ranch style, two story house. […]
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 […]
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.
