Premiere of DEAD TENANTS

Since the premiere of Dead Tenants, there have been many e-mails from well-wishers as well as inquiries for readings. I have received so much positive feedback ( along with a little wardrobe advice, more on that later). Thank you all so much. I promise that I will answer all e-mail and schedule readings, but please be patient. My annual ghost tours are scheduled for this weekend and next, so this time of year usually gets very hectic and puts me behind in all my correspondence.

DEAD TENANTS (Lost Souls)

What was it like during our three day ghost investigation? First of all, there really wasn't much sleeping. A camera person came in to change the tapes and to make sure all the cameras were focused on us and the home owner while we TRIED to sleep. We had to learn how not to be embarrassed when we were accused of snoring and how to get ready quickly sharing a bathroom with the homeowners and cast. Yes, we really do sleep there the entire weekend. :)

For all of you that wondered why I was wearing such an unflattering sleeveless green floral print outfit in this episode, I will give you the behind the scenes scoop. It was not a top but a night gown worn over purple pants. To my horror the producer of that episode asked me to wear it in order for the cameras to photograph my stomach expanding and contracting as I walked into spirit energy. Why? It was difficult to capture the physical reaction on camera unless it was a loose, thin fabric. In a video produced for another show it was that nightgown that allowed the camera men to clearly capture my bodily reaction on tape. This bizarre physical reaction alerts me to the spirits present in a location, but it was only mentioned on the first episode and not shown in the actual episode.. Therefore, we will be putting the image on my website so viewers who wondered what I meant by my stomach can see the physical reaction on a video clip. I was shown in the spirit areas as already expanded in most of the spirit encounters in the premiere episode so some of you didn't understand what I meant by my stomach "going out" because it was already expanded when you viewed my image. Now, I am a heavy woman but if you or the camera is watching you can clearly see the difference in my stomach when I am reacting to spirit energy and when I am not.

This unusual physical reaction to spirit energy has been happening to me since 1990, when I used my psychic ability on my first scientific ghost investigation. In that investigation my stomach visibly expanded in 8 of the 9 areas the home owners reported having encountered a ghost. Since that first ghost encounter, my stomach reacts to the subtle spirit energy present in a room exactly the same way each time. Once I physically react, then I get into my psychic mode to receive other impressions in order to identify the spirit and why it is there. Some people sense spirit energy by reacting with goose bumps, feeling a chill up their spine or even seeing the hair on their arms or back of the neck stand on end.

Why do I react in such a unique way to spirit? Doctors can not give me a medical reason for this expansion. I can only offer one possible explanation. In order for me to do a reading on a person, I must feel the energy around them and then bring that energy towards my solar plexus or gut area. As I feel them and concentrate, images appear in mind's eye which include scenes, names and other bits and pieces of information that must be interpreted. As a result of the way I perceive, my gut area became highly sensitized to subtle energy fields and therefore reacts in this unusual manner whenever I encounter spirit energy. Over the years there have been close to 10,000 people who have witnessed this physical reaction to spirit duriHalloweenual Holloween ghost tours in New Jersey. Yes, they all must have thought it was strange, but they were all fascinated once they learned it is a real phenomena.

The seance in this episode was fairly short and many of you wished that it explained how the spirits were released. But actually the seance was 2 hrs long and the spirits were released through my body. I get the spirit and trap it within my body and through a breathing technique I am able to get it to look to the light. At the same time I am asking for help from others that are in the light. In essence, I point the spirit in the direction of the light and the other side takes over. That is why I was shaking so much, cause the spirit was going into my body. I believe the seances in other episodes will be longer and explain more about what happens.

During the week, as I read more about your many comments, I will address them here as well as further expand upon the premiere episode. Again, Thank you all so much for your interest and well wishes. Watching the premiere has been such a blast and I know you will enjoy the many episodes to come.
