Continued Conversation with The Reluctant Medium
Melissa: Welcome back, Jaime. What was life like for you before you began to accept your gifts?
Jaime: During my early childhood years, my experiences were blown off by most (usually with the imagination or it-was-a-dream explanation), so I generally did that as well. I'd say I was about 10 years old or so before I figured out what was going on.
During my late childhood and formative teenage years it was very frustrating for me. I felt, well, like a freak of sorts. A huge part of my denial of this gift was because I, much like any other child/teenager, didn't want to be different. I did have a few friends that knew I could "see dead people", but for the most part I felt extremely alone with this, as I had no one who understood or was available to discuss this topic openly. And while there has been some backlash of "coming out", I am eternally grateful for those who have been supportive (yourself included). It has been extremely therapeutic for me to meet others with similar experiences and totally worth the backlash of the non-accepting folks to have begun structuring a like-minded support system. I was beginning to feel like my sanity was at stake if something didn't change.
As a young adult, I simply chose to keep this part of myself secret from the world in general. This included my friends, family and husband. Eventually I did slowly begin to let my husband (boyfriend at the time) in on what was actually happening in my version of the world. He just resigned himself to accepting this little "quirk" about me and usually placated me with a smile and a nod. He simply didn't believe me, but seemed willing to overlook it. I think because he knew I wasn't lying, but thought maybe I actually was a little crazy. After living with me for several years, some events that have taken place are simply undeniable, and he's much more supportive now. At the very least, he believes me%u2026
A question I get now is, "How did you know you weren't just crazy or hallucinating?" In retrospect, it is odd that I never considered that maybe I was going crazy or had some sort of mental illness. I just knew that what I was experiencing was real, and that most people just didn't (and don't) understand it. Although, I dare say most crazy people don't know they're crazy, right? Ha!
I dealt with the disruptions however I could. For instance, I have faked nausea while pregnant to leave a place that was too "busy" for me. Other times I've had to get more creative. For the most part though, I became pretty good at employing ignoring techniques. Although, there have been many times when holding a conversation with the living person in the room, I'm sure I've seemed rude or as if I was disinterested in the interaction because it is really difficult to concentrate on a discussion with a friend with a lot of other activity going on all around me. I liken it to an average person attempting a phone conversation while kids are screaming, the television blaring, dogs barking, etc. It's just tricky sometimes. My husband and a few close friends have begun to notice the signs of my attention being diverted and will stop and let me deal with what's going on for me, or at the very least let me explain the current situation. I'm not sure how it is for you, but for me, some spirits are unobtrusive (polite almost), while others are relentless.
While this is almost a daily thing for me, I have been able to release the fear associated with this gift, which lessens the anxiety. At this point, I decided to start chronicling my journey and the learning process and just see where it takes me.
Melissa: That's a wonderful story, thank you. It's interesting I think, how many of us sequester our abilities so early in life. As a child, I didn't question what I was seeing either. I knew who I was seeing, what I was experiencing. But when the judgment became too fierce, I sacrificed my identity to try to make others comfortable. Eventually I began to believe them and that's when the hardship really began. I think that's a familiar path for psychics and anyone really, who bears something society could label as 'different'. You are blessed that you always retained a toe-hold on who you really are.
Writing is therapeutic, isn't it? As is connecting with those who have similar experiences. Which is why I'm so happy that you're sharing your story with us here. I know it will touch others and help them to be more loyal to who they really are.
It is freeing, healing and empowering to finally arrive at an authentic place in life when you are the same person day or night, regardless of location, surroundings, or the opinion of others.

An Interview with The Reluctant Medium
part one
I met Jamie on Twitter - yes, there are many, many spiritual and psychic folks on Twitter. I've met some amazing people on there, if you haven't joined you ought to! It's loads of fun!
Anyway, Jamie emailed me one day and I began to learn more about her background, her experiences. I enjoy reading her tweets and her blog which is located on her site www.reluctantmedium.com , and I thought you might enjoy hearing from her as well!
Hi Jamie, thank you so much for joining us! Let's start at the beginning, since so many folks are interested in knowing where our gifts come from and how we realized them%u2026
What are your earliest memories of interacting with the dearly departed and how do your gifts typically manifest now?
Jamie: My earliest memory is not actually my memory at all, it is my mother's. She tells of me at age two in hysterics seeing "Schmoo" in our house. I suppose at that age, a cartoon character was as close as I could come to naming the large white ball of light I was seeing. I also remember interacting with a great-aunt that my mother says I never met. In fact she died when I was a toddler. In my memory, she was just as alive as you and me. I was much older when the timeline set in and I realized that my mom was right. There really is no way I could remember her in a living state. I had always assumed I had these interactions with a living relative. I'm sure if anyone can understand my confusion about this, it would be you, Melissa! And as a child, I also had a little girl living in my house that I seemed to be the only one who could see her. By then, I had learned to keep my mouth shut though, as I was tired of being told I was imagining or just plain lying.
I went through many years of doing everything I could to suppress my abilities. They never went away. I did become adept at ignoring them, though. After figuring out my son had similar abilities, I decided to accept and grow, if for no other reason, but to be a support system for him.
Today, my gifts manifest in several ways. Some I clearly understand, some that take some "decoding". My "friends" that have passed tend to communicate with me however they see fit. Sometimes I visually see them as clear as I see any living person, sometimes not as clearly as they may be in my peripheral vision. There have been many instances where they are so clear to me, I have had to gauge the reactions of those around me to understand that the person I was seeing was deceased. At times, I only hear them or feel their presence or touch. I am currently working on developing the ability to trust my impressions, clearly communicate and help where I can.

Natasha Richardon, New Insight Into Her Life After Her Passing
Recently I watched Larry King Live and then a bit of Andersen Cooper as they commented on Natasha Richardson's passing.I've paid particularly close attention to this story since I received a concussion a few months ago and have struggled with vicious headaches and other problems since.
After my injury, I did not seek immediate medical attention since I thought it was a minor problem. It never occurred to me that I could have had a concussion or even something more serious. After finally going to see a neurologist and getting an MRI, I was kicking myself for not going sooner. Any type of head injury is nothing to discount.
While watching CNN, I heard Andersen Cooper briefly mention that "it is hard to imagine that Natasha is no longer with us."
But that isn't true.
As an intuitive and I've interacted with ghosts and other spirits all of my life. After a lifetime of experiences with the recently deceased, I'm well aware of what happens after you die, and truly, death is not an end.

Cool, New Interview with Melissa Van Rossum on the Story Behind the Haunting Story of Their Way Home
socratesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2009/02/author-interview-melissa-van-rossum.html
From Socrates Book Review Book Blog
Thanks the efforts of Paula Krapf of Author Marketing Experts, Inc., I have the opportunity to interview Melissa Van Rossum, author of Their Way Home: My Adventures as a Ghost Guide. If you'd like to read my review of this intriguing book, click here
socratesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2008/10/their-way-home-my-adventures-as-ghost.html
First, I'd like to say this was a very compelling book and it was very poignant. It touched me in a way I hadn't expected.
Thank you. I appreciate you sharing that with me. I think it's important to share with people an accurate, rather than sensational view of what happens after you die. It's more healing that way. The purpose of the book is to help remove the fear of death and dying, so that we can all get on with life and living.
1. When you first discovered this ability you had, did you confide in one person or did you keep it hidden?
As a child I talked about my "invisible friends" incessantly, but it wasn't well received. Friends and family members wondered if perhaps there might be something wrong with me, my Mother consulted a doctor about it, and the same doctor told me I was scaring my Mother with my 'game' and that I ought to knock it off. So I learned early in life to keep quiet and keep it hidden.
2. At what age did you realize you weren't like everyone else?
Pretty early on, I would say by age 5 I was pretty good at keeping the more intuitive parts of me well hidden.
3. Did you try and ignore the abilities you possessed?
Definitely. With no way to understand my abilities, no space to express them and no one to talk with about them, I began to pretend they didn't exist, that it was just my imagination. But as you might imagine, that is crazy-making. So as a result I became depressed and suicidal as a teenager.
4. Do your children have this special gift, too?
Yes, they're both very intuitive. My eldest has commented on a few ghostly visitors whom he has seen and he often knows things before I tell him about them. When he was little he could communicate with me with his mind.
My youngest is showing much of the same potential. My husband and I work to keep their intuitive experiences perceived as completely normal and positive.
5. How does your family feel about your psychic abilities?
I don't talk about it with my birth family, they still aren't comfortable with the topic . That is with the exception of my Father who has since crossed over and has a new understanding and appreciation of my abilities.
My husband is supportive and enthusiastic and appreciative. My kids are young, but since we're encouraging them to honor their own intuitive experiences, when they're older, they'll most likely honor mine as well.
6. What made you decide to put your thoughts into a book?
A friend of mine convinced me to write down my experiences as she shared with me how much my stories had helped her to overcome the grief in her life. She had lost several friends and family members and hearing about my experiences helped her to let go of that grief and sadness. It wasn't until then that I realized how much a book like Their Way Home could help someone. At that point I felt compelled to do it.
7. You must have so many more stories to share with us, will there be a follow up book?
Yes, I love sharing my experiences and am thrilled beyond expression that they have been so well received. I've heard from several readers who have recommended Their Way Home to those who are dying or have friends or family members who are dying or grieving so that they'll be comforted. I'm so touched by that gesture. I've always wanted to be in a position in life where I could help people, but that it has turned out this way is amazing to me. This has really brought my life full circle.
8. Is there any one specific experience that touched you the most?
Almost all of my experiences with lost souls tend to touch me in one way or another. I'm primarily empathic and so I have a great deal of compassion for those who are suffering. But I think the one experience that has touched me the most has to be my experiences with my Father after he died. He was never earthbound, but I was with him when he left his body and he spent some time with me after that, too. He never acknowledged my gifts until he left his body, and then I guess he had no other choice. When he first came to me after he left his body, he was really blown away that I could see him and interact with him. That was a bittersweet moment. I write about those amazing few days in Their Way Home.
In my next book I'll write about my other encounters with him since he crossed over. His visits and his messages to me have given me hope and healing and they've given our relationship a bright new beginning.
9. Can you tell us about the process of TruAwareness and how it came to be?
TruAwareness is a process which I share in my first book, All You've Ever Known. It's a process that helps people to ignite their own internal navigational system, their intuition. We all have a connection to Intuitive Guidance, but many of us aren't able to turn it on in the times when we need it most. Too often we find ourselves derailed from our life plans and not moving toward what we want or with the speed we'd like. Or perhaps we find ourselves in painful situations or relationships and unable to navigate them with the success we want. TruAwareness opens up your intuition and takes it to new heights. It allows you to tap into Divine Guidance whenever you need it most to see what's true, to heal painful emotions and to guide you to where you really want to be, in record time!
I developed TruAwareness to help me to achieve those same results. I wanted to take my own intuition to new heights, to navigate my own relationships more successfully, to heal more deeply and to accomplish my goals in record time. When people began asking me how I was generating the success in my life, I knew I needed to share this information with others.
10. Is there anything else you'd like to share with us about this amazing experience you've been through?
Though I certainly didn't start out this way, I've become so grateful for my path and my gifts and for opportunities like these to talk with people about my experiences. There was once a time in my life when I wished I could be someone else, now I focus on how I can bring more of my self forward into my every experience. Aside from the profound message that there is no such thing as death, the ghosts who have crossed my path have taught me so much about the value of being yourself and the perils of becoming a 'ghost' in one's life. It's amazing to me what extraordinary teachers we can all be for one another. Regardless of the form we take.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this book and to do this interview.
Thank you. It's been an honor to talk with you.
A Woman Heals the Grief Through After Death Communication After Losing Her Son Through
Laurie had a near-death experience (NDE) in the collision that forever changed her life where she was able to feel both the joy of personally delivering her son into God's hands, and the profound sorrow of having to return to a badly broken body on this earth and to life without her son.
Fortunately, Laurie has not had to face her painful journey to physical and emotional wholeness alone. Her near-death experience has given her the gift of continued communication with Preston's ever-loving spirit. Imbued with Preston's message of hope, Laurie's story is testament to the divine power of love.

Full Moon - Wolf Moon in January 2009
Each full moon of the year has a name which relates to the specific energies it's associated with. This Saturday is the first full moon of 2009 and it's called The Wolf Moon.Here's some advice from Dallas Jennifer Cobb from Llewellyn's Witches' Datebook on what to do during the Wolf Moon: "%u2026Draw a cloak of protection and strength around you, and journey within. Let the darkness of the season shelter your plans and dreams. Inner visions appear, spurring us to plan what we will plant, for ahead lies the fertile cycle. Both in the spirit world and within the earth new life gathers its energies, preparing. Take time for quiet contemplation of what is to come. Focus on preparation and protection in the privacy of loved ones, for strength grows in the quiet time as we are readied for the season ahead."

Can You Guide A Ghost Home?
The answer is yes. Yes, you can.
I outline a simple process at the end of my book, Their Way Home, which shows you step by step how to guide a lost spirit home.
If the soul wants to go home, you'll definitely get them home. If they don't want to go home, then you'll still most likely get them home. (There are always exceptions...)
How will you know when they're gone? If you can sense their presence, then you'll sense it when they're gone as well.

What it Feels Like to Be Near a Ghost
The tv spots will be up on the site in a couple of weeks.
Everyone at AZTV was just so kind, professional, open-minded, tolerant and caring..I can't say enough nice things about them. When I left I felt as though I had added new members to my family!
I was truly amazed at how kind everyone in Phoenix was. From the hotel employees to the cab drivers to the grocery store workers, seriously, they could not have been more kind or more helpful. What do they put in the water in Phoenix and how can we get it into the water supply of other places around the world?
I'm serious! I want to know!!! : )
Before I left the television station, one of the team members asked if I would go with her downstairs to the underground garage. She was convinced there were ghosts down there. Everyone began to comment on how uncomfortable they felt whenever they had to go down there to get in to the station's van or worse%u2026visit some of the caged storage areas.
No one liked going down there.
So, after my last interview I along with 5 of my newest friends made our way downstairs. After getting off the elevator, I noticed a heaviness in the area. But when you walked out of the elevator lobby and began walking into the garage we all commented on how we felt pressure and a heaviness in our chest areas. It felt like an elephant had just taken a seat on our chests.

The Inventive Ways Ghosts Get Our Attention!!!
That night I woke up at 3 a.m. and went into the bathroom, accidentally dropping something and making a loud noise. "Shhhh.." a bodiless voice said from inside the bathroom.
Okay%u2026a ghost who likes her quiet! Actually I think she was just enjoying getting my attention.
I tried to find her to send her home, but she left too quickly. So, off I went back to bed, knowing she'd be back.
The next day I was downstairs with the kids when suddenly the upstairs toilet flushed. Since no one was upstairs at the time, we all thought this was a little suspicious.
About 15 minutes later it happened again. So, we all went upstairs for a while, and there was no flushing.
Back we went downstairs, and again, more flushing!

Can Ghosts Have Sex?
Well, this is one of the most interesting questions I've ever been asked. I was doing an interview with a magazine the other day and this is one of the questions that came up.The short answer to this question is that ghosts don't have bodies, so they really can't have sex.
This question is rooted in the medieval legend of succubus and incubus spirits - the demonic spirits that could take the form of a human being in order to procreate.
There are many ghosts who do have the ability to move physical objects. And some people can feel it when a ghost touches their hair or their arm. But the idea of a human body being able to have intercourse with a ghost? Hmmmm...

What Happens When a Loved One Dies from a Violent Attack?
I've met several ghosts who died from violent attacks. One of the most memorable people I've met was Tim McClean, the man who was beheaded on a Greyhound bus in Canada www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,396537,00.html .
I don't normally read graphic news pieces, but this story popped up on an internet page I was visiting and I ended up reading a couple of paragraphs of it. If you're familiar with this story you'll know why I stopped reading it after only a couple of paragraphs.

What To Do When the Paranormal in Your Home...is a Deceased Loved One?
I was doing another radio interview on Friday when a gentleman called in to talk about a paranormal experience that made a believer out him.He and his wife had gutted and redesigned the 19th century house where his mother-in-law had lived and died. When they moved in they noticed that ceiling fans and lights would turn on 'by themselves'. Too, the doorbell would often ring in the early morning but no one was there.
They realized in short order that it was their beloved mother/mother-in-law.

A Real Ghost Story...or is it?
Her sister was living in the same house where their Grandfather had lived and died. One night she awoke to find her grandfather sitting at the end of the bed staring at her.
Though she didn't say it, I felt that she was concerned that maybe her Grandfather hadn't yet crossed over.
I tuned in to her Grandfather's energy to make sure he wasn't earthbound and that he had, indeed crossed over before I answered.
In this case her Grandfather was just checking in on his granddaughter and he was living comfortably on the Other Side.

Are You Listening to The One True Voice? Or a Ghost?
She called me to say she'd heard from a Guide who told her she'd have all the success she wanted on the inside of 30 days. But it didn't happen, and she was really discouraged.
As she told me about it, I asked her to reflect on the energy of the voice she heard, "Was it the same voice you usually hear when you know you're receiving Guidance? Or was it a new voice? Because I'm looking at the energy of the person that gave you this information and it looks to me like someone who was telling you what you wanted to hear."
When she heard what I was saying, she knew it was true.
She's still dedicated to her success, but she's wary to the game show type voice she heard that day.
Sometimes ghosts, particularly those who have been hanging around for a while, like to act as 'guides' or authorities and comment on things. They can be the proverbial peanut gallery.
Before I had a firm understanding of my gifts I had a hard time discerning who I was hearing from throughout the day. I described it as the ongoing cocktail party - a constant chattering of voices, conversation and commentary.

How to Protect Yourself from Negative Energies
People tend to show their true colors when times get tough, don't they?Some people fly into action. Others become paralyzed with fear. Others play the victim card.
A friend of mine received an email from a neighbor who's business was going through hard times. He was asking his friends to contribute to a fund to keep his daughter in private school. Seriously!
There are lots of negative emotions flying around out there these days. Fear gets tv news shows their ratings. And fear wins elections.
Another friend of mine emailed me yesterday asking me what she could do to shed some negative energy she felt she picked up from a business meeting with an angry former co-worker. I looked at her energetically and saw a dark 'slime' covering the left side of her body.
I asked her if her co-worker sat on her left side during the meeting and she said that the former co-worker had. As her former co-worker brimmed and boiled over with jealousy and rage and a terminal case of the 'it's not fair's', my friend absorbed a bit of it and brought it home with her.
"I feel like I need to take several showers today, I just can't seem to shake this hatred she directed at me," my friend said.
I worked on her energy and cleared away the slime, while I coached her to do TruAwareness (an intuitive process I developed which gives you insight and healing into any situation) to help her to move beyond the 'slime'.
We want to pay attention to the times when we react to other people's fearful and even hateful behavior. If we're willing to pursue them, there are great seeds of healing wisdom within our reactions. (For more on this, see www.allyouveeverknown.com)
There are many things we can all do to raise our energy and protect ourselves from other's negativity. Here are just a few suggestions:

Will Everything Be Okay? What Lies Ahead...
It is an uncertain time for many people right now. Each time you turn on the television or the radio, there's more bad news and people feel more afraid than ever.But is that really such a bad thing? Feeling fear, I mean?
Many of the ghosts I've met committed suicide. They took their own life because they were terrified of what they were feeling and experiencing and they didn't think they'd be able to find a way beyond it.
Some of these ghosts, though, experienced profound insight after they died. Able to see beyond the panic and the dread of the moment, they saw why they felt so afraid, how they got so overwhelmed, what they could have done to resolve their fears and the other options they had available to them.

What Can You Learn From a Ghost About Healing a World Economy?
If the people who became ghosts in death had found a way to face their fears in life, they would never have become ghosts in the first place. They would have blissfully moved on to Heaven.
This is the time of year when our fears often become more pronounced. As Nature goes within, we too become introspective. It is the time when we account for who we are, when we harvest - or experience - the thoughts, beliefs and choices we have quietly planted throughout the year.
We are meant to feel these fears and, spiritually, we're called to challenge these fears, face them, learn from them and resolve them. This is a very powerful and transformational opportunity.
Unfortunately our society doesn't know how to encourage that kind of personal responsibility and spiritual growth.
It does know however, through the profit-motivated media machine, how to instill fear. Particularly during election season.
As we enter this Halloween season, and move through the elections, be aware that this season is a powerful opportunity for you.
The media would have you believe that you are not in control, and that your livelihood is in the hands of someone else. But this is NOT true.
Every ghost I've ever met, saw in death that they had far more control and ability in their lives than they knew. Only now it was too late to take advantage of that power.

What to Do When a Ghost Makes Noise in Your Home
Last week a friend of mine called to say that she had a ghost in her house.When she was trying to go to bed at night a fairly loud tapping noise would begin just behind the print that hung over the master bed. Her husband does not believe in ghosts or anything paranormal so when the tapping started, he spent a great deal of time rehanging the picture and affixing (and re-affixing) the frame to the wall - to no avail. The tapping continued.
Finally, my friend, fed up with the noise and her husband's well meaning but ineffective solutions, sat up and said out loud,"Enough already! I know you're there - now KNOCK IT OFF!"
And he did. The tapping stopped.

A Ghostly Murderer Appeared in My Bedroom Tonight
I have to be careful when I watch certain ghost shows on television. All I have to do is to connect with the ghost's energy for a brief moment and they 'see' me. After they 'see' me, they know where to find me. And so they do.
It's a particularly concerning problem when the ghost is a rather unsavory character and they choose to wake me up in the middle of the night, as often happens. As often as that's happened, I've still never really gotten used to that.
This time I was watching Psychic Investigators on the Bio channel, a great show that highlights different psychics who help to solve crimes.

The Ghost Who Couldn't Speak
Today a young, teenaged ghost found his way to my home.He had thick, dark, wavy hair and wore jeans and a t-shirt. He positioned himself in my basement, just to the left of the main door. My mind was on other things when I passed through this door today and I almost walked right by him.
Before I did though, I caught myself and realized I wasn't alone in the room.
I turned around and there he was behind me. He was sitting on the floor, feet flat and knees bent. He kept his head on his knees. He was completely distraught.
When he felt my energy on him, he looked up at me, opened his mouth and started to speak, but didn't. Or rather he couldn't.
All that came out was a silent cry. As he put his head back down on his knees, his intense despair lightened just slightly.
I knew he didn't need to tell me his story, and he knew I was going to help him to find his way home.
He crossed easily and quickly without a word.

Do Some Ghosts Enjoy Taunting?
You bet.Some ghosts enjoy haunting, and others enjoy taunting.
I met another ghost this week, a man dressed all in black who enjoyed the fact that I felt uncomfortable around him.

Their Way Home
Melissa Van Rossum
MetaPublishing
April 2, 2008
ISBN# 978-0-9792265-3-3
Book Blurb:
Melissa Van Rossum dreamed of having a normal life. Problem? Melissa Van Rossum could see ghosts. She didn't have to visit the local haunted house to encounter these spectral beings - they would find her. In her car, her closet, her shower - everywhere. And sometimes they'd tell her their stories. Meet the ghostly woman who was distressed at never knowing her children; find out why hundreds of ghosts haunt a Hollywood sound stage; discover what still fascinated a phantom businesswoman; and feel for the teenager who desperately wanted to come back to life.
These ghosts run the gamut from a creepy clown to a criminal predator to a sweet little girl who stayed behind to comfort her mother.
Melissa Van Rossum has encountered them all, and for the first time, tells their stories. These are spooky tales like no other as a true ghost guide gives insight to the lives of the ghosts she's known and how she helped them find Their Way Home.
My thoughts:
The book opens with a nice foreword by Raymon Grace, followed by an introduction by Melissa Van Rossum.
Finding My Way is the first section, and in it Ms. Van Rossum shares everything from her early memories of playing with a motherly ghost, to a pair of ghosts who took up a brief residence in her vehicle. The creepiest story in this section has to be the ghostly dentist who appeared not to get a clue.
Finding Their Way is the next section, and it covers ghosts she's met from a wide array of backgrounds. Readers may never view a simple walk-in closet or the theater the same way again.
Visits From Loved Ones is the third section, and is by far the most touching. The author shares personal experiences with her own family and friends
Process, Questions, Lessons is the final section that offers some guidance for readers who are interested in learning the basics on how to help guide the earthbound spirits to cross-over. This segment also answers the most asked questions, and the lessons learned from ghosts.
Ms. Van Rossum has shared her experiences in a well-organized manner that is quick and easy to read. Their Way Home touches on every emotion from joy to fear and will leave readers more curious than ever about those who remain unseen by their side. This is a short read and will certainly be over long before most readers would prefer, but the author details the facts in each encounter without dressing-up the experience. While Ms. Van Rossum may not have always been able to comfortably experience her abilities, it's good to know that she's more at ease now with the gift she's been given. That in itself is probably the most amazing part of her story. It's difficult to imagine someone living every day of their lives under what most would consider nightmarish conditions.

Did Ghost Town Get It Right? Part III
Gaining Powerful Insight from Real Ghosts
Ghost Town, a wonderfully funny ghost movie starring Ricky Gervais and Tea Leoni, took a few creative licenses with the ghostly facts. In the movie, all of the disincarnates stay behind because they have unfinished business on the earth plane.So, do people stay behind after their death solely because of unfinished business?
Myth or Reality?
Well, a little of both actually.
First, people choose to stay behind for numerous reasons, not just because they have unfinished business.
Second, some people do stay behind because they have unfinished business that they want to resolve. But there are several caveats to that. Staying behind (aka not crossing over to the Other Side) doesn't mean you'll be able help resolve anything. And even if the situation does get resolved, that may not be enough to get you home.
For example, I recently was contacted by a friend of mine who can see AND hear ghosts. But she hasn't yet found the courage to try to guide them home. Because she can see and hear them, she tends to attract a fair lot of them to her home. When they make noise or become annoying with their presence, she talks to them and tells them to knock it off. Hopefully one day she'll feel comfortable enough with her abilities that she'll use them to help these lost souls find Their Way Home.
In the meantime, she calls me if the ghosts get out of hand and don't respond to her.
The last time we talked she had two older female ghosts in her home that talked incessantly. Even her daughter heard them and would walk around the house trying to find the source of the voices.
Unable to get them to quiet down or leave, she called me.
I connected with them energetically and they 'saw' me immediately. I could tell from their energy that they were anxious for relief so I knew I'd be seeing them in my home very soon.

Did Ghost Town Get It Right? Part II
I LOVED Ghost Town - really loved it. I love any movie that can make me laugh out loud like that.So, here we go again, Myth or Reality?
There's another scene in Ghost Town - feel free to read this even if you haven't seen the movie. I won't offer any spoilers here. - where a person with a body sneezes each time they walk through a spirit.
So, do you sneeze each time you walk through a spirit or a ghost?

Did Ghost Town Get it Right? Part I
I just saw Ghost Town with Ricky Gervais - and LOVED it! A great, laugh-out-loud movie worth seeing.After having encountered thousands of ghosts (so far) in my lifetime, I couldn't help watching it with a little bit of a critical eye.
It's always interesting to see what creative license Hollywood will do with reality, and this movie is no different. (Though it's still REALLY enjoyable, I highly recommend it.)
There's one scene where the ghosts are chasing the Ricky Gervais character and in the movie he's able to hide around corners to evade them.
Can you hide from a ghost by ducking around a corner?

Nicholas Cage Won't Sleep in His Haunted New Orleans House
Nicholas Cage owns a mansion in New Orleans. And it's haunted. In fact, it's so haunted that neither Nicholas nor any members of his family will sleep there.The housekeeper says that when she goes to change the linens in the master bedroom, there are indentations on one side of the bed as though someone was lying there, but no one was.
He's had numerous offers from paranormal investigators, but Nicholas won't let any of them in to his haunted home. Why? Because he says he doesn't want to be disrespectful to any spectral beings that might be living there.
I've encountered thousands of ghosts in my lifetime (so far), and I've learned that ghosts aren't entities to be accomodated; they need to be helped.

Enhancing Your Sensitivity
Many people experience the feeling of premonition or sensing spirits. If you've ever had experience with eerily predicting a future event or sensing the presence of someone who has passed on, you may be more sensitive to divine guidance. Melissa Van Rossum has developed a system for helping you to enhance your own sensitivity.For example, wearing gemstones and crystals can help you to open energy centers that open you to the energy that helps your intuition. You can also make sure to maintain a healthy diet that's free from additives, preservatives, and caffeine. These foods actually stimulate the brain and prevent you from being able to sense the divine around you. Exercise can also help to keep your body strong and focused and enhance your intuition.
Practicing meditation and yoga is another way to help center your mind and body and allow yourself to be opened up to divine guidance in your life. Van Rossum also recommends that you stay positive about your intuitive feelings and thoughts.
Dismissing them as scary will prevent you from having more. If you have sensitivity to spirits and divine guidance, you'll find that you can hone in on it and use it for your benefit and the benefit of others.
Handling the Paranormal When It Comes to Your House
Many people have experiences with ghosts or spirits that are less than positive. If you're concerned about an unwelcomed guest there are a few suggestions that Van Rossum has for keeping the energy positive in your home.First, she recommends smudging your home every week. This is the process of burning a mixture of sage and other herbs along with your positive intention to clear negativity from your home. You can also burn candles afterward to keep things positive.
Keeping a clean and organized home is another way that you can prevent unwelcome guests from hanging around your home. This helps you to reduce the chaos that comes from mess and clutter which can also lead to ghosts. You can also keep the energy in your home positive by eliminating furniture and other objects you don't like from it.
Another quick solution is to purchase a salt lamp and keep it glowing in your home. This raises the energy of the room and helps to prevent the presence of negative ghosts and other phenomenon.

Melissa Van Rossum's Insight Into the Paranormal
Fetching RSS feed... please stand byWhat Ghosts Teach Us About Happiness
by Melissa Van Rossum
When I was five, I lived in a tiny college town that lay far beyond the most outer limits of Atlanta and I spent my days playing in our grassy front yard underneath the tall Georgia pines that lined the front of our property. This was the 70's, a time before playdates, cable television and video games, and our house was situated on a street with only one other house nearby. So much of my time was spent playing on my own.I did have one regular playmate, however. She was wonderful - so very kind and generous and loving. She was quite a bit older than I, in fact, she was 40. She was very nurturing, and she cared for me much in the same way that she cared for her own children though. I often wondered where her children were while she was spending so much time with me.
I preferred to play with her only when I was on my own and preferably when I was outside. Indoors, her depression became more evident to me and I found it unbearable to be around. Too, when I was indoors I was usually around other people - family, school mates and teachers - who could poke fun at me for my "invisible friend" and I found that embarrassing and also frightening. Occasionally someone would ask me if she were around and I might say, "Oh yes and she's doing this or that," whether she was or not. That way I could play along with the idea that her existence was just part of a game.
I've interacted with disincarnates, or the earthbound souls of those who have died, for as long as I can remember. For most of my life this was an experience I often found troubling, not only because of the fear of judgment from others but also because disincarnates aren't always as kind and loving as my childhood friend was and I was never sure what to do in those situations. I often tried stopping these visitations, but I was never successful.
Time and again I wondered why I found so many disincarnates around. I saw them everywhere - restaurants, bars, hotels, cemeteries, other people's homes, churches, schools%u2026everywhere. Bars are a real hot spot for disincarnates since they often feed off of the desperation, the loneliness and the self-denial the patrons bring in. And if they had any addictions in life, such as drinking, smoking or drugs they also like to try to live vicariously through others.
I asked other psychics about the situation but no one knew why this was happening or how to get these people to move on.
Finally I met a shaman who not only had answers to my questions, he had a solution to the problem. I attended a small gathering this shaman was leading and was intrigued when he began to discuss his own experiences with disincarnates.
On one occasion he encountered several deceased Vietnam fighter pilots still in uniform. "Why are you still here?" the shaman asked them.
"Because we're waiting for someone to help us," one of the men replied...
There are many reasons why people refuse to cross over after they die. Some stay behind because they're afraid of punishment or rejection on the Other Side. Others stay behind because they're mired in unresolved relationships and emotions. Regardless of why they choose to stay, once they're stuck here, they oftentimes need help finding Their Way Home.
I talked with the shaman at length about my encounters and together we realized that there was a new dimension to my purpose. There was a reason why I saw so many disincarnates and they seemed to know this reason even before I did.
Ghosts have haunted me all of my life, and there were many times when I wished I could make them go away. Ultimately, though, once I learned my purpose was to help these ghosts, my experiences with them became much easier and meaningful.
In one way or another, we all face ghosts in our lives. The ghosts of old relationships, the ghosts of who we used to be, the ghost of missed opportunities and lost dreams, and even toxic people and experiences can 'haunt' us until we recognize the mirror they reflect within our life.
Ghosts of all kinds teach us that we must develop our intuition, our Divine insight, to see beyond our earth plane circumstances. We live in a time when simple, straightforward explanations aren't always enough to give us the healing, the guidance and the answers we need. We are called to know from within and to answer the Divine Guidance that waits to help us.
There are many hidden layers to every circumstance, every relationship and every path. Though we aren't always sure how to access this energetic information, those of us who are more sensitive can't rest until we've brought the whole truth into our awareness. And that's because ultimately..."only truth brings peace".
By the time ghosts come to me they realize they need intuitive guidance and a helping hand. They've finally figured out that staying angry gets them further away from what they want, and that not trusting what comes next and refusing to be authentic brings more pain than they can bear.
In those final moments before I cross them over, they are finally willing to see all the many layers, all that they are and to trust what comes next. Ghosts are an example to all of us as to what torture our own limiting behaviors can cause us and what we can do to bring an end to our own suffering.

Have You Had an Encounter with a Ghost?

Excellent lens. thanks for sending a tweet about it on twitter. I was doing a search for Squidoo on Tweetdeck and found it. I just saw a ghost on the side of the road last Sat, night at 2:42 am. 2nd ghost I've seen. 1st was 20 years ago outside too. I have been watching a lot of Ghost Hunters & Ghost Adventures lately so I wonder if that has something to do with me seeing this ghost on the side of the road. This lens has so much information I will have to come back and read more again and again. ABSOLUTELY 5*'s!!!!

Great read Melissa, I've never had any 'ghostly' experiences but the idea of ghosts,their presence or being able to come into contact with them I find, for want of a better word - exciting

Incredible Lens! Your lens is exactly how our team feels about spirits we encounter. We had 4 investigations at the same church in Sullivan Co., PA because the spirits asked for "HELP". We feel it is our job to help "LOST" spirits go home. We tried prayers and discussing the light to the spirits throughout our visit to the church. We learn our results from evidence review of our audio equipment. Our last visit to the church in November resulted in over 100 EVPs (electronic voice phenomena). We post them on our home website, kpinvestigation.com, and we encourage the public to help analyze our unknown clips. Our quest in Paranormal Investigations are to assist spirits in communicating and even try to help them "go home". Thank you for creating this FABULOUS LENS, Melissa!

Whether or not I agree with your content, your lens is visually appealing and has a lot of meat on its bones. Good job. The visit was enjoyable.

What about being able to contact our pets who have died? Anyone know about that?

This is a very well done lens. Yes, I have had many experiences with the paranormal. I described only a few of them in my Paranormal Normal lens. Unfortunately, unless you experience it yourself, you can't convince people that ghosts exist. I admire people who aren't afraid to open share that believe and do see these things without fear of being accused of being crazy. 5* lens!

Great Lens! I would love to have you join Everything Spiritual Stop by and take a look around sometime. I have a question for you, do you feel there is something in the "Air" that is making Sensitives more Sensitive? Blessings
