Many of us have had experiences with things that go bump in the night, or see things out of the corner of our eye. Often we try to find reasonable explanations for these occurrences. Sometimes, reasonable does not fit the scope of the happening: Then what do you do, who do you call?
When I began working as a paranormal investigator 30 years ago, there were few of us doing this type of work, so often when you did get called, the activity was often advanced and angry. Now I know all of you like to go into that type of situation where things want to harm you, they have no boundaries, no limits on their behavior, and see you as food; that sounds like a great time doesn’t it? Sometimes all they needed was to be heard, hugged, they cry a bit and then they move on.
Come and join me for this workshop where you will get to hear some of my best stories, from some of the most incredible encounters from my career. You will also learn some do’s and don’ts while encountering this sort of activity. We will talk about different types of clearing tools that you could use to protect yourself and your home. There will be a question and answer segment so that I can address some of your questions directly.
