Did Hurricane Katrina Amp Up the Spirit World?

6/29/2015

Many believe that the weather does affect the paranormal field. They believe the spirit world draws energy from the atmosphere.

One account accord during Hurricane Katrina when a young man killed his girlfriend in a grizzly manor then killed himself. Many believe the hurricane stirred up the spirits in the very haunted French Quarter of New Orleans and drove him to it or took control of him to do something he would never do.

Several in the paranormal field, including myself, have seen heightened activity just before and during storms. So, saying the weather can affect the spirit world by giving them more energy is easily agreed upon and it might even weaken the living and be more easily controlled by the dead.

Being a Goodwin Society Member

Pearce w/friend Bill Barker as Mr. Jefferson

What does it mean to be a Goodwin Society Member with Colonial Williamsburg? It means that you want to keep the past alive and preserve it for future generations to know how important Williamsburg was for our fight for independence during the Revolutionary War.

As a descendent of the Randolphs of Colonial Virginia and related to President Thomas Jefferson, I want others to know what Colonial Williamsburg is doing to preserve the past. They are keeping Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin’s words alive, “So that the future may learn from the past.”

Is Being Sensitive Hereditary?

6/23/2015

Jamie Pearce, post cognitive

Apparently being sensitive to the paranormal runs in my family! Through the years of doing research on my family tree and the paranormal, I have found this to be very true and here are the details.
Myself-post cognitive
My mother-pre cognitive
My grandmother-post cognitive
My great grandmother-pre cognitive

Plus I have found more signs of this even further back in our family history. If you are sensitive, start digging into your family history and see what you find. Old diaries, journals, letters, public records, or even family Bibles, who knows what you might discover, you will probably find out you are not alone with your abilities. Just remember while doing your research, decades ago, people weren’t as open to talking about these things so don’t be discouraged if you don’t find anything written down. Talk with your parents, grandparents, or anyone else in the family who will open up to you about the topic.

Patrick Henry's Scotchtown, Beaverdam Virginia Investigation

6/16/2015

I have always had a passion for the great Patrick Henry and when we headed to Virginia last week for investigations for an upcoming book, I could not pass up seeing Henry’s former home, Scotchtown.
I will be featuring this location in my 6th book for three reasons; #1 because it is indeed haunted and that is the main topic of my Historic Haunts series, #2 because I had a major paranormal experience while here with EMF readings at the same time, and #3 because I want future generations to know who Mr. Patrick Henry was and what all he did for us.
Sorry, but I will not be giving away any details, but if you are sensitive to things, be prepared before visiting Scotchtown and make sure you are well grounded before exploring it.
