<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The most significant experience for me at the moment is when I was in Uniontown, Pa and I was investigating the Keighley Mansion,</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: cyan; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> ( http://hauntedhistorycolumbus.blogspot.com/2013/07/keighley-mansion-and-paranormal-science.html ) </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> with a group of investigators. A friend of mine, Adam Sedlock currently owns the building and has his psychology practice in the building.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="background-color: #444444; color: white; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> At this point, I had never done a formal investigation in an actual building that is said to be haunted. I was there for 3 days and 2 nights.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: purple; color: cyan;">I was heading up to the 2nd floor and when I was at the top of the landing and I heard a young female behind me say "help me!" It was very faint but I could hear her right behind me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="background-color: #f1c232; color: magenta;">At first I was kind of confused, I thought it may have been one of the leadership who was talking to Adam up on the 2nd floor or one of the women I was investigating with but neither had said anything. Mind you at this point, we were on break and I was just heading to the main bathroom on the 2nd floor and there was only 4 of us in the building.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><span style="background-color: #660000; color: cyan; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The mansion has a very dark history, It was built by coal baron Frederick Charles Keighley in the early 1900s. At one point, Mr. Keighley murdered Molly Maguires and claimed it was in self defense. </span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="background-color: #274e13; color: lime;">As it sunk in my mind as to what I heard, I wondered if it could have been her and I became very upset and started crying. This was the first time I had been emotionally affected by a paranormal experience. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #20124d; color: #fff2cc; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another experience that everyone had at some point over time is that there was some blocks set up on a table. The blocks would be in different positions randomly and they would move when nobody was looking. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #783f04;"><i>A few weeks prior, Dr. Sedlock also came in one morning for a usual day of appointments with some clients and the blocks spelled out "Help me."</i></span><br />
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="background-color: #4c1130; color: lime; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> Nobody had been in between the end of the day before and that morning. His billing person wasn't scheduled to be in there and his wife doesn't go to the mansion very often and hadn't been there. </span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #783f04; color: white;">So, other than Dr. Sedlock, his billing person and his wife, nobody has a key to the mansion and there would have been no way for someone to come in and move the blocks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="background-color: cyan; color: #444444;">And the blocks were in a house formation when he was cleaning the waiting room the evening before and he was the only one in the building when he was cleaning and when he left.</span></b></div>

<i><span style="background-color: purple; color: cyan; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Years ago, in a former house that my family had lived in, there was poltergeist activity in the house behind ours. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="background-color: #666666; color: yellow;">Apparently, the story has it, there was this couple and a baby living in the house behind ours. One night, the parents were in the living room watching TV on the sofa and the baby was upstairs sleeping in the cot. </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="background-color: #660000; color: magenta; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">At some point during the evening, the parents were alarmed to hear the baby crying through the baby monitor.</span></i></b><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: blue; color: lime;"> So, of course, the parents went running upstairs to tend to the baby, only to find that the baby was fast asleep and was not crying, yet, they clearly heard crying on the baby monitor only moments before. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="background-color: #444444; color: #eeeeee;">The strangest part of this story was a few years later. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Apparently, one day, the young child was playing in the bathtub with a little red boat toy. Apparently, the parents were forewarned not to let a child play with a red boat in the bathtub, but, of course, the parents didn't think anything of it.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="background-color: #783f04;"><i style="color: #cfe2f3;"> Then, </i><u><span style="color: lime;">the </span><span style="color: yellow;">strangest </span><span style="color: #ea9999;">thing </span><span style="color: cyan;">happened</span></u><i style="color: #cfe2f3;">.

<b><span style="background-color: yellow; color: #274e13;">This terrified the parents, so they called in a priest to perform an Exorcism. The Exorcism was successful in ridding of the entity. </span></b></div>

<b><span style="background-color: #ead1dc; color: blue; font-size: large;">The first paranormal experience I can remember is when I was about 10 years old. I used to witness a full apparition of an old woman with her pet cats sitting on the bottom of my bed in my bedroom.</span></b></div>

News of the strange girl traveled about the state and during this time of popularity for the Spiritualist movement, many visitors came to see her."</i></blockquote>

<i>"Mary Roff was born in Warren County, Indiana, on 8 October,1846. When she was thirteen years old the family moved to Watseka, about 70 miles south of Chicago, Illinois. By that time Mary’s health had been badly weakened by epileptic fits, which she suffered from about twice a day. In spring, 1865, in an attempt to escape from depression caused by her health, she tried to commit suicide by slashing her wrists. Her parents found her unconscious from loss of blood and called a doctor. When Mary eventually regained consciousness she became so violent that it took several adults to hold her down in bed. She was delirious for five days, after which she suddenly became calm and slept for fifteen hours. She awoke to find bandages covering her eyes to protect them from her unconscious scratching; but instead of removing them, she discovered that she seemed to be able to see as easily while blindfolded as she had before."</i></blockquote>

They took her with them when they visited friends in Peoria, Illinois, for the 4th of July holiday in 1865. While there Mary complained of a terrible headache and went to her room. A few minutes later they found her unconscious on the floor in a pool of blood and rushed her to the asylum, where she died on the afternoon of 5 July."</i></blockquote>

<i>"Mary's childhood had never been normal. Her seizures began when she was an infant and as a young child, began to complain of mysterious voices that she heard in her head. The voices, she said, came from nowhere and told her to do things that she knew she shouldn't. As she grew older, she began to experience long periods when she stayed in a trance-like state. Then came her moments of awakening, when she spoke in other voices and seemed to be possessed by the spirits of other people. During these trances, she was said to have manifested clairvoyant powers that were carefully investigated by "all of the prominent citizens of Watseka, including newspaper editors and clergymen." Mary was able to speak of places that she had never been to, often with uncanny accuracy, was reportedly able to predict future events and knew things about people that she should have had no way of knowing. Shortly after, her mind began to deteriorate and she became violent with stranger and soon, with her own family as well. Mary developed an obsession with blood and became convinced that she needed to remove the blood from her body, using pins, leeches and at last, a sharpened razor."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"After that final incident, her parents discovered her on the floor of her room, unconscious and lying in a pool of her own blood. They had no choice but to commit her to the state asylum and here, Mary endured more agony as the "cures" for insanity in those days were just short of barbaric. One of the favored treatments of the 1860's was the Water Cure, in which a patient would be immersed naked into a tub of icy water and then taken to a tub of scalding water after their body temperature had sufficiently lowered. In addition, female patients, like Mary, received a cold water douche, administered with a hose and then they were wrapped tightly in wet sheets to squeeze the blood vessels shut. This was followed by vigorous rubbing to restore circulation. The "treatments" were administered several times each week but not surprisingly, such techniques brought little success and most of the patients never got better. Mary, like so many others, showed no improvement and she soon died."</i></blockquote>

<i>"On the day of Mary Roff’s death, Lurancy Vennum was a fifteen-month-old baby living on her parents’ farm in Iowa. She had been born Mary Lurancy Vennum, on 16 April 1864, at Milford Township, Iroquois Co, Illinois. In 1871, the family moved to a farm seven miles south of Watseka. This was nearly six years after the death of Mary Roff; so there is no possibility that Lurancy Vennum could ever have seen Mary. Lurancy was a normal, healthy child of thirteen when the twelfth anniversary of Mary Roff’s death occurred on 5 July 1877. Next morning she told her parents - ‘There were people in my room last night and they kept calling ‘Rancy! Rancy!’ and I could feel their breath on my face.’ A week after this incident Lurancy was helping her mother stitch a broken seam in a carpet when she suddenly straightened herself up and said - ‘Maw, I feel bad; I feel mighty queer!’" </i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Seconds later she became rigid and fell unconscious for five hours. This began to happen every day and usually consisted of Lurancy lying stiff, with only a faint pulse, her breath slow and weak, and her temperature below normal. She suffered from excruciating abdominal pains and would murmur about strange visions which usually involved what she called 'angels'. Sometimes the attacks lasted up to eight hours, during which time Lurancy would speak in different voices, though when she awoke, she would remember nothing."</i></blockquote>

He had mistakenly sent his own daughter there years before and she had died in confinement. Despite her death though, he was convinced that his daughter's spirit still existed.

Far from being sullen and aggressive the girl became mild, passive and polite, not recognizing her own family, but instead asking to be taken ‘home’. On hearing of the extraordinary change in the girl, Mrs. Roff and her daughter, Mrs. Minerva Alter, Mary’s sister, went to visit Lurancy. Lurancy was looking out of the window of her house at the time and when she saw them coming down the street exclaimed - ‘There comes my ma and sister Nervie!’- the latter being the name Mary used to call Mrs. Alter when a young girl. When they came into the house she hugged them and cried for joy. After this incident Lurancy became progressively more homesick and continually begged to be taken 'home' to the Roffs."</i></blockquote>

The Roffs also tested her with a velvet head dress Mary used to wear; which she recognized immediately."</i></blockquote>

They took Lurancy across town and as they were taking the buggy ride, they passed by the former Roff home, where they had been living when Mary died. She demanded to know why they were not returning there and they had to explain that they had moved several years before.

<i>"In conversation with Dr. E. W. Stevens about her former life, Lurancy Vennum, possessed by the spirit of Mary Roff, speaks of the time she had cut her arm with a knife. She asks if he had ever seen where she did it. He says no, and so she proceeds to slip up her sleeve as if to exhibit a scar, but suddenly arrests the movement. She quickly adds, "This is not the arm: that one is in the ground."</i></blockquote>

<i>"She tells where it is buried and how she had seen it done and who stood around, and how they felt. but she says that she did not feel bad. She tells Mr. Roff and the others present how she wrote him a message some years ago through the hand of a medium, and gives the name, time, and place. She also tells of rapping and spelling out a message by another medium, and gives the time, name, and place. Mr. and Mrs. Roff later admit all facts and details to be true."</i></blockquote>

<i>"During the 1800s and early 1900s, America was ravaged by a deadly disease known by many as the “white death” --- tuberculosis. This terrifying and very contagious plague, for which no cure existed, claimed entire families and sometimes entire towns. In 1900, Louisville, Kentucky had one of the highest tuberculosis death rates in America. Built on low, swampland, the area was the perfect breeding ground for disease and in 1910, a hospital was constructed on a windswept hill in southern Jefferson County that had been designed to combat the horrific disease. The hospital quickly became overcrowded though and with donations of money and land, a new hospital was started in 1924." </i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"The new structure, known as Waverly Hills, opened two years later in 1926. It was considered the most advanced tuberculosis sanatorium in the country but even then, most of the patients succumbed to the disease. In those days before medicine was available to treat the disease, it was thought that the best treatment for tuberculosis was fresh air, plenty of nutritious food and lots of rest. Many patients survived their stay at Waverly Hills but it is estimated that hundreds died here at the height of the epidemic."</i></blockquote>

The white plague, as the scourge of tuberculosis was known, found a virulent home within the wet lowlands and swamps of the area. Through an act of Congress in 1906, monies were set aside for the eventual purchase of land to erect a sanatorium to house those afflicted with this all consuming affliction. The site of Waverly Hills was purchased and the original structure had the capacity to house some forty patients or so. With the aggressive nature of the disease and with no antibiotics available at the time, a larger, more permanent hospital was erected in 1926."</i></blockquote>

The need for isolated hospitals dedicated to tuberculosis patients diminished as a result of these drug treatments and thus Waverly Hills Sanatorium was closed down in 1961 and placed under quarantine."</i></blockquote>

<i>"In many cases, the treatments for the disease were as bad as the disease itself. Some of the experiments that were conducted in search of a cure seem barbaric by today’s standards but others are now common practice. Patient’s lungs were exposed to ultraviolet light to try and stop the spread of bacteria. This was done in “sun rooms”, using artificial light in place of sunlight, or on the roof or open porches of the hospital. Since fresh air was thought to also be a possible cure, patients were often placed in front of huge windows or on the open porches, no matter what the season. Old photographs show patients lounging in chairs, taking in the fresh air, while literally covered with snow."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Other treatments were less pleasant --- and much bloodier. Balloons would be surgically implanted in the lungs and then filled with air to expand them. Needless to say, this often had disastrous results, as did operations where muscles and ribs were removed from a patient’s chest to allow the lungs to expand further and let in more oxygen. This blood-soaked procedure was seen as a “last resort” and few of the patients survived it."</i></blockquote>

<i>"With so little known as to the nature of the disease, coupled with the inability to actually cure it, the methods of treatment ranged from simply misguided to sheer barbarism. Fresh air, bed rest and sun treatments were de rigueur of the day, and while this seems like a rather innocuous and possibly ineffective way in dealing with such a disease, the treatments were given regardless of the weather. Pictures exist showing patients in front of open floor length windows; semi reclined and covered in snow. Another bizarre method was called the shot bag treatment wherein a patient would be encumbered with bags of buckshot, sometimes up to five pounds, slung across their collar bones to “restrict the excursions of the lungs, making them quiescent, teaching correct breathing and produces partial rest for the lungs.”"</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Some of the more brutal treatments were reserved for the operating room. The Phrenicotomy, otherwise known as the phrenic nerve crush, was when the nerve to the diaphragm was crushed, thereby paralyzing the diaphragm and lessening the movement and capacity of that lung in a vain attempt to heal it. Thoracoplasty was a surgical procedure wherein up to nine ribs were removed in a wasted effort to ease the restrictions of the infected lungs. It is easy to see how the death tolls from Waverly Hills have been estimated at up to 63,000, although these numbers are in dispute. A tunnel, originally used to pump steam heat from the boilers at the bottom of the hill to the main building, eventually became known as “the body chute.” Feeling that the mental health of their patients was just as important as their physical well being, the staff of the facility chose to transport the dead out of the building down this 525 foot tunnel to the waiting hearses."</i></blockquote>

<i>"There were many different types of treatments issued to patients that received care at the Waverly Hills Sanatorium during the tuberculosis outbreak. Because of the fact that antibiotics did not exist at the time, many medical professionals and their staff turned to treatments that were considered to be natural. One of the main patient treatments at this medical care facility was placing patients on specially designed porch paths in their beds where they could be exposed to the outside air. It did not matter if it was winter or summer, this particular treatment was used. However, specially designed blankets that provided heat to the patients were provided during extremely cold periods of the year. It was believed that fresh air would enter into the lungs and that the germs that were part of the illness would be effectively carried away from those that were sick."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"In addition to the fresh air therapy, many individuals took part in a special type of sunlight treatments. If the weather was favorable, the patient would be placed outside to receive ultraviolet treatment. This form of therapy was referred to as “Heliotherapy”. If the weather was not favorable for a patient to be let outside of the most haunted location, they would receive treatment from sunlamps. It was believed at the time that the sun acted as what many medical professionals call a “Bactericide”, which means that the substances that caused the disease would be killed off. Additionally, the warmth from the sun was believed to be detrimental to the microorganisms that sickened the patient. The patients also received a wide array of fresh meats, produce and vegetation in order to strengthen their immune systems while being cared for at Waverly Hills Sanatorium."</i></blockquote>

<i>"The buildings and land that made up Waverly Hills were auctioned off and changed hands many times over the course of the next two decades. By 2001, the once stately building had nearly destroyed by time, the elements and the vandals who came here looking for a thrill. Waverly Hills had become the local “haunted house” and it became a magnet for the homeless, looking for shelter, and teenagers, who broke in looking for ghosts. The hospital soon gained a reputation for being haunted and stories began to circulate of resident ghosts like the little girl who was seen running up and down the third floor solarium, the little boy who was spotted with a leather ball, the hearse that appeared in the back of the building dropping off coffins, the woman with the bleeding wrists who cried for help and others. Visitors told of slamming doors, lights in the windows as if power was still running through the building, strange sounds and eerie footsteps in empty rooms."</i></blockquote>

<i>"One of the legends told of Waverly Hills involves a man in a white coat who has been seen walking in the kitchen and the smell of cooking food that sometimes wafts through the room. During their initial visit, they found the kitchen was a disaster, a ruin of broken windows, fallen plaster, broken tables and chairs and puddles of water and debris that resulted from a leaking roof. The cafeteria had not fared much better. It was also in ruins and the team quickly retreated. Before they could do so though, several of them reported the sounds of footsteps, a door swinging shut and the smell of fresh baked bread in the air. A quick search revealed that no one else was in the building and there was certainly no one cooking anything in the kitchen. They could come up with no logical explanation for what had occurred."</i></blockquote>

The slamming of doors and the caterwauling of the damned echo and resonate through the decaying corridors. Lights and shadows play upon the unfortunate guest’s eyes while the damp heat of the plastered interior may suddenly plummet into an unsettling chill as a nameless presence is felt. Many visitors have reported a small child, seen so often that he has been nicknamed Timmy, who seems to like to play an interactive game of hide and go seek with the guests. Other, far more disturbing apparitions have been reported, such as the elderly woman, shackled wrists bleeding, pleading for help. Probably the most documented reports pertain to the shadow people."</i></blockquote>

Voices of long-ago children are allegedly heard on occasion up there, as well as reports of dark shadows moving about the roof. The third floor has been the focus of reports of ghostly activity by a young girl (named Mary) or boy. A ball has been seen by some bouncing down the hall, while others outside the facility report seeing the ghost of the child peering out of the windows on the third floor.

Depending on whom you get your story from, the legends vary greatly, so I'll tell you a few, then tell you what my research shows. Although it was told in tours for years that Room 502 was a nurses station, it was actually a patient's bathroom. Legend has it that it was the scene of two suicides by nurses. One allegedly hanged herself in 1928, while the other jumped out of the room's window at an unknown time. This legend states that the mentally ill patients were kept on the fifth floor and these patients had to go to a half door at the nurses' stations to get their food and medicine or to use the restroom that was adjacent to the nurses' station. When the nurse hanged herself, these patients had to continue to walk around her hanging body to use the restroom until the next nurse showed up for duty. Allegedly, the nurse was 29, unmarried, and pregnant. As to why the second nurse killed herself, I've never heard, nor could I find any record of it."</i></blockquote>

While there is no record of a nurse being stabbed in this room, there are records of a nurse hanging herself. She got pregnant by one of the doctors, and since it was very looked down upon she decided to take her life in Room 502.

So the story goes that the doctor attempted an abortion on Mary and something went wrong and she died. To ensure he didnt get in trouble for this, he apparently made it look like she had hung herself, but hanging her dead body in the doorway. And another nurse supposedly committed suicide by jumping out the window of room 502. People have attempted to find documents of this happening, but havent found any.

Many refer to this as the “Body Chute”. This five hundred foot structure was designed to transport the deceased from the medical facility to the lower region of the hill where various types of motor vessels awaited. This structure was designed in a period where there was no electricity, so it is exceptionally dark. Furthermore, it was used to avoid lowering morale on those that remained alive in the haunted hospital. Many paranormal investigations have gathered evidence in the death tunnel that seem to indicate that there are many spirits that apparently seem lost in trying to uncover the spiritual world. EVPs, ghost pictures and even videos that contain unexplained phenomenon have been produced in the death tunnels of the most haunted hospital worldwide."</i></blockquote>

<i>"What is now called the “body chute” is actually a tunnel that leads from the hospital to the railroad tracks at the bottom of the hill. Originally, this was built as nothing more than an underground tunnel to ship coal and food/produce up the hill to the hospital more efficiently. However, as the deaths continued to rise, the staff thought of another use. One side of the tunnel is concrete steps, while the other side consisted of a motorized rail and cable system. Eventually, this is where the bodies of the dead would be placed on gurney tables and lowered to the bottom of the tunnel where hearses would picked them up for funeral arrangements. This tunnel was totally enclosed from the morgue wing of the hospital insuring that the patients would not see how many bodies were leaving the hospital to keep up their morale.

<i>"The Death Tunnel is another popular haunted area. One of the uses for this tunnel was transporting dead bodies out of the hospital. Since seeing hearses arrive and take away many bodies on a daily basis would bring down other patients' morale, the hospital staff thought it was best to transport the bodies away in an underground tunnel that the patients couldn't see. Some people believe that many of the deceased patients who left the hospital via this tunnel still haunt it."</i></blockquote>

<i>"The tunnel was built at the same time as the rest of the main building on the first floor. The corridor was 500 feet to the bottom of the hill. One of its sides had a set of stairs to help the workers to enter/exit the building without making the hazardously steep descent down the hill. On the other side, there was a set of rails and a motorized cable system with a cart to help transport supplies from the bottom to the top. Since the use of antibiotics wasn’t discovered when Waverly opened, the treatment featured the use of heat lamps, fresh air, high spirits, and reassurances of eventual recovery. However, during TB’s peak, there was at least one death every other day, and the sight of the dead being carted away lowered patient morale. This loss of morale made them lose hope and become depressed, only increasing the death rate. The tunnel took on a new use – transporting the bodies through the tunnel, where a hearse at the bottom would take them away secretly to preserve the patient morale. This also was believed to lower the disease’s spreading rate."</i></blockquote>

<i>"And now, the most creepy place in there in my opinion, is the Death Tunnel. A tunnel was built going from the main floor to the bottom of the hill near the train station. Originally used so doctors could use the steps to safely get up the hill to the hospital, and a rail cart was built alongside it to easily bring supplies to the hospital, and the fresh air it offered. But when death rates skyrocketed, it was used so doctors could transport the dead bodies out the hospital so the patients would not see so many being taken out the building, that way they wouldn't become depressed and have low morale and lose the will to live. It isn't hard to see why the Death Tunnel would be one of the most haunted places in the building, with people hearing voices and seeing apparitions."</i></blockquote>

<i>"One of the more famous sections of the Sanatorium is the so-called Death Tunnel or Body Chute. The 500-foot tunnel originally extended from the hospital to the bottom of the hill where it met up with railroad tracks. It was originally used as a steam tunnel with the boiler at the bottom of the hill and the steam would travel up the pipes to provide heat throughout the hospital. The staff would also use the tunnel to come and go from work and supplies were brought in by train and transported up the tunnel. It consists of stairs on one side and a smooth slab on the other, which used to hold tracks that a gurney would sit on and be pulled up by winch."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"When deaths became a common daily occurrence at Waverly Hills, the staff decided to use the tunnel to transport the bodies from the facility, shielding the other patients from seeing the bodies. The idea was to keep morale high and seeing daily reminders of the cost of their illness was taking its toll. The bodies were wheeled down the chute, sometimes passing employees on their way in, to the bottom of the hill where hearses would come and pick them up. Paranormal activity has been reported in this tunnel and consists of apparitions, voices, a sense of dread, and strange lights."</i></blockquote>

Befitting its bestial nature, the Wendigo possesses supernatural strength, speed, endurance, and senses. The beast is able to rip a human apart with little effort, and the Wendigo moves so quickly that it cannot be seen by the human eye. Any wounds that are inflicted on the Wendigo’s body are healed very quickly, although wounds caused by silver tend to heal very slowly. It is invulnerable to most conventional weapons, excluding arms incorporating pure silver. The Wendigo thrives in even the harshest climates, immune to extremes of cold."</i></blockquote>

However, once the threat was eliminated the Wendigo was forced to leave his tribe and wonder the countryside for eternity. The Wendigo is further more cursed with a taste for human flesh. The first accounts of the Wendigo myth by explorers and missionaries date back to the 17th century. They describe it rather generically as a werewolf, devil or cannibal. Different origins of the Wendigo are described in various forms of the myth, besides a warrior giving his soul to save his village other versions of the myth state that a hunter may become a Wendigo when encountering it in the forest at night, others state that a person may become a Wendigo as a result of being possessed by the creature in a dream. When the cannibalistic element of the myth is expressed, it is said that anyone who eats the flesh of a human will be transformed into a Wendigo."</i></blockquote>

<i>"Although different tribes had different traditions, most stories describe the primal wendigo as a gaunt humanoid giant with decayed skin and long yellow fangs. The creature’s eyes glowed in the dark and it was always hungry for human flesh. These huge monsters could be heard howling in the forest on winter nights and were said to have powerful dark magic, but wild wendigo spirits outside in the wind were only half the story. If a person broke the ultimate Algonquian taboo, and decided to prefer cannibalism to starvation, he or she would begin to turn into a Wendigo. After eating human flesh, a person’s humanity would disappear and their heart would become cold. No food could slake a wendigo’s appetite except for human meat (and even that could not be eaten in sufficient quantity to fill up). Monsters of unnatural appetite, these transformed wendigos would bring death and ruin to all other people unless they fled into the wilderness or were killed by a medicine person."</i></blockquote>

The description varies quite a bit at times; adding hair, fur, fangs, antlers, and other variations, the Wendigo is one truly left up to the darkest reaches of the human imagination. Some groups believed whenever a Wendigo ate another person, they would grow larger, in proportion to the meal they had just eaten, so that they could never be full."</i></blockquote>

<i>"Its appearance can vary much like its name, yet many sources describe the Wendigo spirit as being a giant, a gigantic skeleton made of ice. In these stories, the Wendigo may have a tall and lanky body made of flexible ice, ranging in size from “higher than the treetops” to “twenty feet above the highest mountaintops.” Others describe it as a walking corpse with long, stringy hair; and still more as with jaundiced skin covered in pale fur and even with a star on its forehead. In one variation of the story, the creature could only be seen if it faced the witness head-on, because it was so thin that it was invisible from the side. That few of the descriptions of the giant form of Windigo are identical may perhaps be due the “blind fear” that is supposed to overcome anyone who encounters such a horrific beast."</i></blockquote>

<i>"A more common description of the Wendigo is as such: humanoid in appearance, twenty to thirty feet tall with long arms, no lips, jagged teeth too big for its mouth (or yellowish canine fangs), an extended tongue and wicked claws on each hand. Very repulsive, this human-like Wendigo is said to be naked, covered in tree sap, moss and other swamp detritus, with skin stretched too tight over an emaciated frame and a from which huge red eyes glow like embers. The Wendigo fiend’s visage is manlike but horrible beyond all imagining, so much so that to look directly upon it is to faint or be killed instantly. If not composed entirely of ice, then it either has a heart made of ice or ice flowing through its veins."</i></blockquote>

<i>"According to some psychological anthropologists, there is the Windigo Sickness – a Psychic Disorder: Caused by Egotistical Abuse of Psychic Powers or Abilities. Anthropologist Morton Teicher described the alleged mental condition of people believing they are or will be Wendigos, that he dubbed the Windigo Psychosis. This has been reported in the Northern Algonkian Tribes living around the Great Lakes. It usually happens in winter when people are isolated and have little food. Initial symptoms are, generally, a poor appetite, nausea and vomiting. Then, victims develop a delusion of being transformed into a Windigo or fear becoming one. They feel intense anxiety and sometimes attempt suicide. Windigo sickness is caused by egotistical abuse of personal power."</i></blockquote>

Have you ever had an object that seemed to have had a <i>mind of it's own</i>? Did it <i>disappear </i>and <i>reappear </i>in a different spot? Did it give off a "<i>bad vibe</i>"? Were there <i>strange </i>noises coming from it? Maybe your object was, indeed, <i><b>possessed</b></i>!!! Who knows?! I have <i>always </i>found the topic of "<i style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Haunted</i> and <b><i><u>Possessed Objects</u></i></b>" very <i>interesting</i>. When I was a kid, I had this four foot barbie doll that I got one year for Christmas. And I swear it's head would <i>turn </i>at night. <b>Haha</b>, maybe it was just my imagination, being a little kid and all. But still, this subject is very <b>interesting</b>. Here is some <i>information </i>about "<b><i>Haunted </i></b>and <b><i>Possessed Objects</i></b>"...</div>

In a recent visit to Ebay I happened to find several supposedly haunted items being sold. Everything from old tools and photographs to dolls and jewellery, all of it purportedly haunted. There was even a haunted mansion for sale in Colorado. It seems that there is no shortage of haunted, cursed and generally spooky stuff for sale these days. But do these so-called "haunted" or "cursed" objects really possess the energy of the dead?"</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Some objects are said to be cursed, other seem to be animated by spirits. Other notoriously haunted objects are vehicle; phantom ships, ghost trains that steam through the night air on their old runs, even if the railway line has been long removed. Some famously haunted objects have fascinated the public consciousness for years. We have all heard about The Hope Diamond, the Flying Dutchman and King Tuts tomb, all of which are reportedly cursed or haunted items, which many feel retain the essence of long dead souls."</i></blockquote>

<i>"Haunted objects or not a common as haunted houses or land, but there have been many stories told about objects that have a spirit attached to them. Some people believe that only antiques can be possessed by a spirit, but newer objects can also be haunted. Antiques have been in existence for a longer period of time, and have probably had more owners, so they have a higher chance of possession. Newer objects haven’t had as many owners and have less chance of being haunted. Items that have been reported as possessed include; paintings, furniture, dolls, tins, tools, photos, and jewelry."</i></blockquote>

<i>"We know that locations can be haunted, and hold residual energy from the past.Haunted objects can also do exactly the same thing. It can be a piece of antique jewelery furniture,mirrors,pianos,books and even recycled building materials. Often taken from old abandoned buildings,the material has now become very popular with some new construction of homes. Almost anything can have a spirit attachment, good or bad."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Typically the haunting will start when the object is brought into a home, a ghost may be witnessed lurking close to the object, it can also seem to have a life of its own.such as a piano that plays by itself,or a mirror that reflects an apparition,or ghostly mist.Sometimes the object will bring streaks of bad luck to the home or family. Just as a haunting at a property,the reasons for a haunted object are many and vary. As a scientific paranormal team, we like to have historical data to backup, all our findings, we find it sometimes difficult, to find answers, for haunted objects. Unless of course the object has been with someone who was important to history, not much is recorded on antiques, that have been in the possession of ordinary people."</i></blockquote>

<i>"One theory of how an object can become possessed by a deceased person is that people human thoughts and emotions contain energy that is absorbed in to the objects that are near us. The items keep the energy that they absorb. It is said that when the bond between the person and the object is strong, the object will have a larger chance of showing ghostlike behaviors. If the previous owner was giving off bad energy to the objects around him, there may be negative energies associated with the object. The hauntings may be scary and/or violent. Many times if there were no negative energies absorbed by the object, the hauntings are friendlier."</i></blockquote>

None of the tenants had bought chocolate, and they were perplexed as to how it had gotten there. Strange messages were found written in a child's handwriting scrawled on paper. Objects were often moved about the home, never being found where they had originally been left. It seemed as if somebody... or something was sharing the house with the frightened tenants. After a month of unusual occurrences the girls decided that they needed help. They investigated the history of the property, and also contacted a local medium. They discovered that before the apartments had been built on the land, a young girl named 'AnnaBelle' had died on the property. AnnaBelle used to love playing in the field... they were happy times for her, and her spirit had never left. The medium explained that little AnnaBelle's spirit was still there, and responsible for the occurrences in the Home. AnnaBelle asked if she could stay with them, by moving into the doll that Donna's mom had bought for her birthday. Not knowing what else to do, the girls said yes, and eventually even renamed the doll AnnaBelle."</i></blockquote>

<i>"In 1970 a mother purchased an antique Raggedy Ann Doll from a hobby store. The doll was a present for her daughter Donna on her birthday. Donna, at the time, was a student in college, preparing to graduate with her nursing degree and resided in a tiny apartment with her room mate Anngie (a nurse as well). Pleased with the doll Donna placed it on her bed as a decoration and didn't give it a second thought until a few days later. With in that time both Donna and Angie noticed that there appeared to be something very strange and creepy about the doll. The doll apparently moved on its own, relatively unnoticeable movements at first, like a change in position, but as time passed the movement became more noticeable. Donna and Angie would come home to find the doll in a completely different room from which they had left it . Sometimes the doll would be found crossed legged on the couch with its arms folded , other times it was found upright, standing on its feet, leaning against a chair in the dining room. Several times Donna, placing the doll on the couch before leaving for work, would return home to find the doll back in her room on the bed with the door closed."</i></blockquote>

<i>"One night Donna came home to find the doll had moved again, this time it was on her bed. Donna had come to find that this was typical of the doll but some how she knew this time it was different, something wasn't right. A sense of fear came over her when she inspected the doll and saw what looked like blood drops on the back of its hands and its chest. Seemingly, from no where, a liquidy red substance had appeared on the doll. Scared and desperate Donna and Angie decide it was time to seek expert advice."</i></blockquote>

<i>"Lou scoured the room for forced entry but nothing was out of place. But as he got close to the doll he got the distinct impression that somebody was behind him. Spinning around he was quick to realize that nobody else was there. Then in flash he found himself grabbing for his chest, doubled over, cut and bleeding. His shirt was stained with blood and upon opening his shirt there on his chest was what looked to be 7 distinct claw marks, three vertically and four horizontally, all were hot like burns. These scratches healed almost immediately, half gone the next day, fully gone by day two."</i></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"The spirit or in this case an inhuman demonic spirit, was essentially in the infestation stage of the phenomenon. It first began moving the doll around the apartment by means of teleportation to arouse the occupants curiosity in hopes that they would give it recognition.Then predictably the mistake of bringing a medium into the apartment to communicate with it. The inhuman spirit now able to communicate through the medium, preyed on the girls emotional vulnerabilities by pretending to be a rather harmless, lost young girl with which during the seance, was allowed permission from Donna to haunt the apartment. Insofar as demonic is a negative spirit, it then set about causing patently negative phenomena to occur; it aroused fear through the weird movements of that doll, it brought about the materialization of disturbing handwritten notes, the symbolic drops of blood on the doll, and ultimately it even attacked Lou leaving behind the symbolic mark of the beast. The next stage of the infestation phenomenon would have been complete human possession. Had these experiences lasted another 2 or 3 more weeks the spirit would have completely possessed, if not harmed or killed one or all of the occupants in the house. "</i></blockquote>

Another myth has then as the withered old women who died during child-birth."</i></blockquote>

In 1437, King James I of Scotland was approached by an Irish seeress or banshee who foretold his murder at the instigation of the Earl of Atholl. This is an example of the banshee in human form. There are records of several human banshees or prophetesses attending the great houses of Ireland and the courts of local Irish kings. In some parts of Leinster, she is referred to as the bean chaointe (keening woman) whose wail can be so piercing that it shatters glass. In Kerry, the keen is experienced as a "low, pleasant singing"; in Tyrone as "the sound of two boards being struck together"; and on Rathlin Island as "a thin, screeching sound somewhere between the wail of a woman and the moan of an owl"."</i></blockquote>

<i>"More likely the banshee should be thought of as the "spirit of the family", a spirit who attends to the family in a time of transition. The banshee is described as a wee woman with long white, blond or even auburn hair who appears in the vicinity of the birthplace of the soon to be deceased. When seen, she is wearing the clothes of a country woman, usually white, but sometimes grey, brown or red. The former hues represent the colors of mourning while red is associated with magic, fairies and the supernatural. In some accounts she is seen combing her hair as she laments. She is heard more often than seen, wailing as she approaches the abode in the late evening or early morning, sometimes perching on the windowsill two to three hours or even days before a death. As she moves off into the darkness witnesses describe a fluttering sound, such as the sound made by birds flying at night. Hence, the mistaken belief that banshees manifest as birds such as the crow. The inaccurate association with crows is probably due to confusion of the banshee with the primitive Celtic goddess Badb, the goddess of war who appeared frequently in the form of a crow."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Banshees also wail around natural forms such as trees, rivers, and stones. Wedge shaped rocks known as "banshee's chairs" are found in Waterford, Monaghan and Carlow. Although there have been reports of banshees accompanying Irish families who emigrated to the Americas, it appears the banshee more often grieves for an emigrant at the ancestral family seat in Ireland. Stories are told of the misfortune visited upon men who interfered with the banshee by taking her comb or challenging her. These tales point up the value of courteousness towards women, the avoidance of drink, violence and late hours."</i></blockquote>

<b>I always have these dreams where I "wake up" and go about my day, then I "wake up" again, and go about my day....and then I "wake up again" and so on. I am not really waking up. I am still dreaming. I keep dreaming that I am waking up over and over. Sometimes the dreams are also kind of lucid I guess... Some times when I am awake for real, I still wonder if I am dreaming! This Phenomena is called "False Awakenings" Here is some good sources and information about "False Awakening"</b><br />

<i>"“False Awakenings” are dreams in which you think that you have awakened from a dream when you have not. You continue to dream. False awakenings are different from lucid dreaming in that in lucid dreaming you know you are dreaming and stay dreaming. In false awakenings you know you are dreaming but then attempt to awaken out of the dream only to awaken into a dream that is the context, set, or ground, in which the previous dream was figure. You do not know that you are still dreaming, although it is possible to have either another false awakening, move into lucidity, or wake up. False awakenings are also called “inceptions,” “double dreams,” or a “dream within a dream.”"</i></blockquote>

<b><u>Quote:</u></b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Most importantly and most profoundy, false awakenings are a metaphor for the human condition. At some point we outgrow our awakenings. Our first love, a genuine first awakening, is often looked at in retrospect as an embarrassing delusion. Our loyalty to our family, employers, and nation is often experienced as a type of awakening into honor, honesty, and commitment, only to later be understood as a form of sleepwalking enslavement to cultural dreams. By making such statements I am not negating the importance or value of any of these experiences or commitments; they have their place. I am simply pointing out a simple fact of human experience: if we are fortunate, we wake up out of false awakenings. Nor is it cynical to assume that this process is unlikely to end. In fact, it is a sign of hope, an indication that growth continues, and that enlightenment will never be a final, static awakening, regardless of how transformative it is"</i></blockquote>

<i>"False awakenings are a curious phenomenon for lucid dreamers and non-lucid dreamers alike. They are essentially ultra vivid dreams in which you are convinced you have woken up in physical reality. They are most likely to happen when you are excited about a big day ahead - and if you're a lucid dreamer."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Self-awareness determines how consciously "in tune" you are with your current reality. Lucid dreamers aim to be highly self-aware while awake and while dreaming, for the greatest frequency of lucid dreams. But the modern world is so distracting, most people are not very self-aware at all."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"And this comes into play in the paradox of a false awakening. The dream of awakening is highly vivid, suggesting a high level of self-awareness (for a dream, at least). Yet many false awakenings go unrecognized; assumed to be waking reality, there is absolutely no awareness that it's all a dream."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"A false awakening may involve getting up, having breakfast, getting dressed, heading out for work... all the things you do every day on autopilot. It can all appear all too real and solid to warrant questioning its authenticity. Indeed, you will only appreciate how real a false awakening is when it happens to you - it reveals the remarkable capacity of the human brain to emulate reality."</i></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>" A false awakening is an experience where someone vividly dreams they have awoken from sleep. After a false awakening, people frequently dream they are performing daily morning rituals, believing they are truly awake. This is a phenomenon wherein a person has a dream within a dream, dreaming that he has awakened, but in fact continues directly into a second dream, avoiding the need to awaken. This is sometimes referred to as a double dream."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"A false awakening may happen following a normal dream or following a lucid dream (one in which the dreamer has been aware of dreaming). Particularly if the false awakening follows a lucid dream, the false awakening could turn into a ‘pre-lucid dream', one in which the dreamer might begin to wonder if they are actually awake and may or may not come to the proper conclusion."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"It has been argued that a false awakening is the ultimate lucid dream due to fact that the level of consciousness inside the dream is indistinguishable from reality. But on the other hand, false awakenings might be considered to be the polar opposite of a lucid dream because there is consciousness without awareness.""</i></blockquote>
<br />
<b><u>Quote:</u></b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Due to the fact that the mind still dreams after a false awakening, there may be more than one false awakening in a single dream. Subjects may dream they awoke, made coffee eat breakfast, got ready for work, and so on; only to suddenly awake again in bed (still in a dream) begin morning rituals again, awaken again, what I call the ground hog day effect. The French psychologist Yves Delage reported his own experience of this kind, in which he experienced four successive false awakenings. The philosopher Bertrand Russell even claimed to have experienced ‘about a hundred’ false awakenings in succession while recovering from a general anesthetic."</i></blockquote>

<i>"In conclusion false awakening may be confusing and leave their subject disoriented but they are harmless. They may have some psychological meaning or maybe just a good OBE (Out Of Body Experience) but in any case they are interesting and warrant further study."</i></blockquote>

Some people use false awakenings to become “lucid” or aware in their dreams. Other people believe from this state they can astral travel.

Very little is known today about ancient Druidism and there are many gaps in the writings that have been found...... Druidic ritual often employs sacrifices to the Mother Goddess.

<i>"Most controversial of all, Witches practice magic; this ability to change people, things and events by force of will, is often considered scary, but it is in reality no more frightening than the power of prayer. True magic is not a matter of controlling others, for to change the path of another would be to interfere with their freedom of will and would be a source of, at least potential, harm. Magic is rather the ability to change what happens by true balance and control of the self. Magic must ever be able to be turned inwards, before it can ever work outwards....."</i></blockquote>

<i>"In the 20th century, witchcraft started to take on a more generic and ethically neutral meaning. People started speaking of good witches and bad witches, with "witch" simply denoting a worker of magic, particularly practical magic. Witchcraft is one of several forms of modern magic. Witchcraft tends to focus on emotion over strict ritual. It also tends to use everyday items and is often practical in nature. It borrows from folk magic - that is, the magic of common people throughout history - much more extensively than from ceremonial magic, although there can certainly be some overlap...."</i></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"I have listed below definitions for some Extra Sensory Abilities(ESP). These are senses that are beyond the normal five physical senses and are non-physical or Psychic. Most Psychics are proficient in at least one ability and may be in all of them. Mediums also use these senses to communicate with spirits."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><b>"<span style="color: red;">Clairaudience </span></b>means 'clear hearing'. It is the ability to hear through Psychic senses. in other words, to hear in a paranormal way. Someone with this gift hears sounds, words, voices, and/or ideas through the hearing centre of the brain. There are two forms of clairaudience. The first form is hearing thoughts within ourselves, which sounds the same as when we talk to ourselves. They use their 'inner ear' to hear, just as someone with clairvoyance would use their 'inner eye' to see. The second form is hearing the voices spoken out loud. It is the actual perception of sounds, voices, etc that are not heard by others and not done by ordinary hearing. This type is more accurate, as it does not require interpretation."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><b>"<span style="color: red;">Clairvoyance </span></b>means 'clear seeing'. It is the ability to visually see through Psychic senses. Someone with this gift sees images, shapes, colors, still pictures, moving pictures, etc that are not seen by others nor seen by ordinary eyesight. These images may be seen with the eyes open or closed. This intuitive ability comes straight from the sixth chakra. Clairvoyants may also perceive types of energy not perceptible by others or by normal means. It has terms associated with it such as 'the third eye' 'sixth sense' and 'inner eye'. Clairvoyance is one of the most accurate intuitive abilities."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><b>"</b><b style="color: red;">Clairsentience </b>means "clear feeling" and relates to the sense of touch. It is the ability to perceive energy fields through physical sensations using Psychic senses. This includes auras, vibrations, and the presence of entities. When you get a "gut feeling" about something, you are using your clairsentience. What you're doing is using your second chakra, the spleen center, to sense things on an emotional level. clairsentience can pick up what other people are feeling. Clairsentience often works with another ability called precognition. Precognition is the ability to know what is going to happen in advance."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><b>"<span style="color: red;">Clairsentience </span></b>is often mistaken for empathy. Though the psychic is aware of a person's aura, they may think they are picking up emotions, but instead is mentally describing the kind of energy the subject is transmitting. The difference being that aura is an external vibration, while an emotion is internalized. Clairsentience is the most commonly used intuitive abilities, although it is not one of the most accurate."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><b>"<span style="color: red;">Clairgustance </span></b>means 'clear tasting'. It is the ability to perceive tastes through Psychic senses. Someone with this ability can taste a substance that is not of a physical nature. It is the ability to perceive the essence of a substance from the spiritual or ethereal realms using the taste."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><b>"<span style="color: red;">Clairscent </span></b>means 'clear smelling'. It is the ability to perceive a fragrance or odor through Psychic senses. Someone with this ability can perceive odors that is not of a physical nature. It is the ability to perceive the essence of a substance from the spiritual or ethereal realms using smell."</i> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><b><span style="color: red;">"Clairtangency </span></b>means 'clear touching'. It is more commonly known as psychometry. It is the ability to handle an object and perceive Psychic information from the spiritual or ethereal realms using touch. clairempathy means 'clear emotion'. It is the ability to Psychically tune into others emotions. Someone with this ability tunes into the vibrations of the spiritual and ethereal realms and feels the tones of another's aura."</i></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"First, let's discuss what defines psychic ability in the first place! Extra-sensory perception (ESP), prophesies of the future, and a "sixth sense" could all be defined under the blanket term "psychic ability". But where does psychic ability come from? Actually, no one really knows - not even psychic readers. People who claim to have psychic abilities describe a sense of just "having it" without having any conception of how it got there. Most say that it is part of their regular consciousness, and that they simply "know" or "feel" things before, during, or after they happen - despite being unable to explain how. Though parapsychology has been heavily criticized, scrutinized, and stigmatized, the truth is that as much evidence points towards its veracity as against it."</i></blockquote>
<br />
<b><u>Quote:</u></b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"So what are some of the different types of psychic abilities? To begin with, there is the art of "channeling," which is defined as the ability to receive and transmit information from another external consciousness while in a decidedly altered state of mind. Though each incident varies in intensity and resulting activity, many share the same basic traits: a semi-trance like state and the appearance of an outer entity expressing itself through the channeler. Many people have been able to obtain a psychic reading of another entity and consciously channel that entity - but professional parapsychologists don't recommend trying it until you've been well-trained and prepared."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Three more (related) types of psychic ability are clairaudience, clairsentience, and clairvoyance. Clairaudience is generally defined as the ability to hear or sense sounds that cannot be perceived by a non-psychic person. Clairsentience is another type of extrasensory perception in that clairsentient people can sense past, present, or future events through "sensing" them, though non-clairsentient people cannot perceive them. Clairvoyance is a synonym for extrasensory perception - any knowledge or consciousness of an event outside of seeing, hearing, tasting, touching, or smelling it."</i></blockquote>

<i>"Clairvoyance means seeing clearly. It is taken from the French word that means “clear seeing” and clairvoyance is a common psychic experience. It interlopes with the above mentioned terms to create the ultimate psychic experience. Clairvoyance is an extra sensory ability to perceive distant objects, persons or events which are not visible through the normal senses."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Clairvoyance is a common human ability, and happens everyday to people with out their knowledge. Throughout history, clairvoyance has been noted to be used by prominent figure heads."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"There are many ways that Clairvoyance can be experienced, starting from the internal imagery of symbolic images, that must be interpreted by the persons own feelings and thoughts, stretching to the more complicated clairvoyance of seeing non physical planes, the astral and other psychic phenomena. Most of the clairvoyant experiences fall between these two categories."</i></blockquote>
<br />
<b><u>Quote:</u></b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"The ability of clairvoyance, again like intuition, may either be inherited from parents or grandparents. In other cases a child may be born with clairvoyant ability even if his parents may have nothing to do with it. In this case, he may be carrying forward his clairvoyant ability from his previous incarnation."</i></blockquote>
<br />
<b><u>Quote:</u></b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Psychics and soothsayers have been using their clairvoyant ability since times immemorial. In one of the earliest recorded cases, a dull witted peasant Victor Race would go into trance and see visions wherein he would speak fluently and intelligently. He would even diagnose not only his own disease but also of other patients and suggest prescriptions as well. And then he would forget every thing after he came out of his trance. The same behavior was later on exhibited by the well known Psychic Edgar Cayce."</i></blockquote>

<i>"Clairvoyance is said to be a special gift which very few persons possess. When somebody is bestowed with certain psychic abilities to see things that other people cannot see, he or she is said to be clairvoyant. It is also said to be the sixth sense. When you speak with a clairvoyant, it allows you to know certain things concerning the spiritual world and also gain some insight into your future. In the ancient times, clairvoyance was referred to as the ability to prophesy. Its popularity increased in Europe during the 1800s. Lots of clairvoyants exhibited their abilities by reading letters without opening the sealed envelope."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Some clairvoyants also exhibited their abilities by communicating with the dead. Several studies have been carried out by various scientists in order to prove that clairvoyance really existed. What specifically do clairvoyants do? The answer is simple; they help in bringing messages from other realms which ordinarily, cannot be accessed. In most cases, the psychic receives messages in the form of images, words or sounds. They are said to receive these messages through what is called the Third Eye. This is believed to be situated right in the pineal gland and is strongly believed to help those who want to know how to become psychic to develop their abilities."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Unlike what most people believe, clairvoyance is not just about having the ability to see the dead. It also involves seeing people or objects that are located very far from the psychic. Clairvoyants in several instances have helped to locate loved ones who got missing and in other cases, helped in unraveling mysteries surrounding certain crimes. Do you desire to get a message from a deceased loved one? Then seeing a clairvoyant is the answer. He or she is endowed with the ability to let you know whether your loved one is happy or not on the other side of the world."</i></blockquote>

<br />
<b><u>Quote:</u></b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Let's start with explaining about a psychic. Someone that calls himself or herself a psychic may well be labelling themselves as such because it is stereotypically recognised as someone that can 'read you' and most likely be able to tell you about, your past, present, future and many other things that the psychic could not possibly have known about you before having your reading. This essentially is correct, but how they do this in the true sense of the word, is that as a psychic they will have like a 'mental connection' with you and they will also read your energy field, so they will be very sensitive and be able to pick up on your thoughts and energy most of all. People will tell you that you are psychic if you know who it is when the phone rings, for example. They may well have some or all of the other abilities that will be mentioned as follows, but not necessarily so."</i></blockquote>
<br />
<b><u>Quote:</u></b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Now, clairvoyance actually translates to 'clear seeing'. It means that the person that is working with their clairvoyant ability will be able to see images of people, places or things in their minds eye, they are able to describe these to you during a reading or when giving a message. This does not mean that they are fortunetellers or seers of the future, although that doesn't mean that you won't get some information about the future, but clairvoyance is by definition simply clear seeing, and not seeing the future."</i></blockquote>
<br />
<b><u>Quote:</u></b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"The harder version is that a medium by another definition is the 'channel' by which information from spirit passes through or indeed is the channel through which any energy passes. By this definition all of us indeed are mediums (as opposed to smalls or larges…sorry, couldn't resist getting that in somewhere!). This is because we all channel energy to some degree or another. If we draw, we are a medium (as is the pencil) through which energy flows to create the picture on the page. If we sing, we are a medium (as is the voice) through which energy flows to create a song. If we are healers (another topic entirely) we are mediums through which the energy flows to our clients and so on…"</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"This then means by its very nature that anyone working with Spirit or energy on any level could be called a medium. A medium in this sense is then being defined as a 'channel'."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"So someone that calls themselves a clairvoyant/medium, by rights, should be able to describe your loved ones from the spirit world and also to describe visually things around your home or family for example. It has been brought to my attention that there are a few 'clairvoyant/mediums' out there, that aren't in fact either of these! They may 'read' people, but they may be reading via their psychic or sentient ability and not actually 'seeing' anything at all, or indeed they may not be able to talk with your loved ones in spirit either. This doesn't mean they aren't good readers, it just means they might not be offering you the sort of reading you were really after. Never be afraid to ask your 'reader' how they work, they should always be more than happy to explain it to you. This way, you know what sort of reading you can expect."</i></blockquote>

<i>"Mediumship is the claimed ability of a person (the medium) to experience contact with spirits of the dead, angels, demons or other immaterial entities. The role of the medium is to facilitate communication with spirits who have messages to share with non-mediums. Mediums claim to be able to listen to, relay messages from, and relate conversations with spirit, to go into a trance and speak without knowledge of what is being said, to allow a spirit to control their body and speak through it, perhaps using a writing instrument (psychography or surreal automatic writing)."</i></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"According to some mediums, a spirit guide is a highly evolved spirit with the sole purpose of helping the medium develop and use personal skills. These spirits are said to assist in the person's following a spiritual path. Other mediums claim instead that a spirit guide is one who brings other spirits to a medium's attention or carries communications between a medium and the spirits of the dead. Many mediums have specific guides who regularly work with them and "bring in" spirits of the dead. Some mediums claim that spirits of the dead will communicate with them directly without the use of a spirit guide. The relationship between the medium and the guide may be providential, or it may be based on family ties. It is important to note that all who are "lightbearers" have spirit guides. Not just mediums."</i></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"In the typical deep trance, the medium may not have clear recall of all the messages conveyed while in an altered state; such people generally work with an assistant. That person selectively wrote down or otherwise recorded the medium's words. Rarely did the assistant record the responding words of the sitter and other attendants. An example of this kind of relationship can be found in the early 20th century collaboration between the trance medium Mrs. Cecil M. Cook of the William T. Stead Memorial Center in Chicago (a religious body incorporated under the statutes of the State of Illinois) and the journalist Lloyd Kenyon Jones. The latter was a non-medium Spiritualist who transcribed Cook's messages in shorthand. He edited them for publication in book and pamphlet form."</i></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Extrasensory perception—ESP—is defined by parapsychologists as the acquisition by a human or animal mind of information it could not have received by normal, sensory means. Some researchers, however, take issue with the term "extrasensory perception." They protest that the phenomena may not be "perception" at all, as the receiver of this information does not know if the knowledge is right or wrong when he or she first perceives it. It takes a corroborating incident to convince anyone that he or she has perceived anything via extrasensory means. Some parapsychologists prefer to say "paranormal cognition," but this term is subject to the same sort of criticism if the receiver is not instantly certain of the validity of the information. Besides, the researchers insist that the material in their field will eventually merge with present-day physics, so the adjective "paranormal" may be considered a misnomer."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>" Contrary to common usage, a parapsychologist is not a psychic, a mentalist, an astrologer, or one who gives psychic readings. A parapsychologist is generally a member of the Parapsychological Association, which was founded in 1957 and elected an affiliate of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1969. A parapsychologist is a scientist who is seriously interested in the paranormal (or anomalous phenomena), which includes telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, psychokinesis, hauntings, reincarnation, and out-of-body or near-death experiences."</i></blockquote>
<br />
<b><u>Quote:</u></b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"It is interesting to note how many psi activities are experienced while the percipient is either asleep or in the sleeplike states of trance or hypnosis. This may indicate that each individual, in his or her subconscious, has the faculties necessary to focus on the consciously unperceived world of ESP. Dr. Montague Ullman has observed that many persons who are incapable of effective communication in normal ways can communicate at a telepathic level and surprise the therapist with a telepathic dream of rich awareness even of the physician's problems. The same laws of psychodynamics that apply to the dream also appear to apply to psi phenomena. Both the dream and psi are incompatible with currently accepted notions of time, space, and causality."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"More conventional scientists, who work within the confines of those currently accepted boundaries of known physical laws, insist that parapsychologists satisfy the requirements demanded of all other sciences and that they do the following: (1) produce controlled and repeatable experiments; (2) develop a hypothesis comprehensive enough to include all psi activity from telepathy to poltergeists, from water dowsing to materializations."</i></blockquote>

Perhaps you have already experienced the common feeling when somebody phones you after a long absence, you burst out spontaneously with the statement that: "I was just thinking about you". That is why actively hating somebody is the worst thing you can do because it makes sure that you are still bound to that person.

To get the best from our car radio, we may need to tune into the various stations, to get the best from our psychic gift we may also need to 'tune' into the signals that are around us. If we keep with this analogy we could also say that some cars come with a higher quality radio receiver, as some people come with a stronger psychic reception. But you can upgrade the radio just as you can improve your psychic awareness." </i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"I hope that answers the common question;- ' Am I psychic? ' - Because you are! So how do we switch it on and begin? If you are reading this then you have already begun! The first step to waking up your psychic faculty is to admit to yourself that you have one. It takes a while for the subconscious to be able to communicate with the conscious mind and the best way to do this is to simply start thinking about it. For example you could say to yourself "I am psychic" on a daily basis. Try, if possible to discuss it with whoever is willing, all these thoughts have a positive effect on developing your gift. You should also try to read about the subject, again this helps to wake things up. Knowledge will help, as you need some understanding of how things work. Adopt the policy you would take with any new hobby, become involved in it, buy books and magazines, look for more information on the internet. Become familiar with the various approaches and opinions and start to develop your own ideas. Deal directly with what appeals to you, what your logic finds reasonable. Disregard what you find difficult to accept, you can always return to it at a later time."</i></blockquote>

<b><u>Quote:</u></b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"When I use Psychometry, I close my eyes for a while, relax as if I am taking a step back from the world, and create a space for the pictures to arrive. You must find a technique that works for you. You are looking for brief pictures, that seem to arrive all by themselves. Things that you were not thinking about, if you manage to get this far, you are making good progress. If appropriate you will get a negative or positive feeling about what you have seen or felt. This is how psychics work. These positive / negative feelings are used to tell a client about which way they should go in a situation. Alternatively you may just get more information about an event, if you do, tell the person you are with. But please do not try to be a counselor until you are ready, remember you are dealing with peoples emotions."</i></blockquote>

<b><u>Quote:</u></b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"I sometimes get asked how people can develop their own mediumship skills, while the process is not difficult, what is important is your intent, your sensitivity and respect for others. You must also decide why you wish to develop this technique? Decide if you are doing this to help others or just to contact a family member or someone close. Learning to recognise the subtle presence of our spirit friends around us and the gentle guidance they impart, is different to working as medium for others."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Most people train in a development circle, or with a teacher and this is something I strongly recommend. Without someone to guide you, you may not know how to separate the imagination from actual spirit. A group meeting often means more than one person is able to sense the same spirit person, this is comforting and ensures you are progressing correctly. A good place to start would be your local spiritualist church, as many groups start from there. However you may have to be invited or have to wait for a suitable opening. But there are also 'Workshops' appearing with more regularity now, and these will help you learn from someone experienced. If you look hard enough, there is usually something in your own area where you can go."</i></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Before we get into the specifics of developing skills though, first lets discuss the differences between Mediumship and Channeling. Many use these terms interchangeable, but for my purposes I will state what they mean to me. Simply, Mediumship is the process of communicating with the spirits of the deceased loved ones who have crossed over. Channeling is the process of communicating with the Ascended Maters, our Higher Selves, the Angels.. and bringing forward messages for soul development and spiritual growth. One of the things I like to warn about with channeled material is that no matter how good the channel, channeled messages are always colored by human perceptions. This doesn't make channeled material "untrue" or "bad" or "wrong". People often ask why channeled materials sometimes conflict and that's why. Remember when we communicate with spirit it isn't like talking on the telephone to a friend, it's very different."</i></blockquote>

<b><u>Quote:</u></b></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Mediumship is a little different than channeling, yes it can be colored by the interpretation of the medium, but there is also someone sitting there who will validate for you "yes" or "no". Mediumship can be tricky for several reasons. First of all, those that are receiving readings typically come into the reading with ideas of who and what they want to hear. Sometimes these expectations get in the way of an otherwise good reading. Spirit has to communicate the way they know how, and again it isn't like we have a direct phone line. Spirit has to communicate to the medium in symbols, sounds, feelings etc.. and each medium interprets these differently. Some who are new to dealing with mediumship don't understand the differences, and that's ok. What is really essential is for the Medium to be patient and confident, and for the querrant to be openminded and to write things down, not discounting anything outright. If these two things are established readings will be much more productive. This doesn't mean we should encourage a sitter to just believe everything they hear. There is a healthy level of skepticism where we are able to protect ourselves, but there is a fine line between that skepticism and the next degree which is "closed" or "cynical"."</i></blockquote>

<i>"List your top 3 fears. Explore these in depth one at a time. In college when we were doing papers we had a brainstorming exercise where we took our topic, in this case one of your top fears, and put it in the center of our page with a circle around it. Coming out from that circle were all the thoughts and ideas we had on our subject, questions that came forward etc. This process helps to bring out all of these things to be organized and sorted through. This is a great way to start to deal with misgivings/fear etc. "brainstorm" it. Spend 20-30 minutes on this exercise. Don't try to organize your thoughts during the 'brainstorming" segment... that will come later as you review the branches.

Channeling is involved in healings, where we draw the healing energy into our crown, and move it through our bodies and into the person being healed. By being a channel it simply means you are receiving energy. Everything that is is composed of energy. Thoughts are energy."</i></blockquote>

<i>"As we did in the first segment when we did the guided meditation to meet our guide, we want to do a similar exercise. Bring a notepad and pen, or a small tape recorder, and place it near your chair. Do your exercise of protection, and state your intention to the Holy Spirit / Divine/ Your Guide, whoever you wish to receive communication from. Relax, releasing any expectations.. and just relax as deeply as possible. You may find you see symbols, or hear something, or have a thought... just relax for 5-10 minutes or so and when you come out of your altered state, immediately record everything you perceived: feelings, signs, thoughts, words ... Continue to do these exercises as you are able, and record all that you perceive. The more you do this the more you are apt to pick up on... and since you have a written record things that you don't understand now may be validated later on. Be sure to write things down!"</i></blockquote>

<i>"Spiritualism is a belief that was given a name in 1848. Its ideal roots may date to very ancient times. In our belief, we give credit to the truths of many religions, we know to say that one person has the truth and no one else is to say that God plays favorites. We believe there is a piece of the truth in everything, that we need to go beyond the segregations of man called religion, and seek true understanding. Through the ages, many enlightened people have made travels in the known world, seeking understanding of what God truly is. We cannot put a date on our beliefs, because to do so, it would also segregate us from the individuals that may have opened the pathway to the beginnings of what we now call Spiritualism, the belief of life after the change called death."</i></blockquote>
<b><u>Quote: </u></b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"The Fox family was having problems sleeping for several nights due to rapping noises in the household. John Fox, Father of Kate, Margaret and Leah Fox, went around the house looking for the source of the rattling, rattled a window in the cottage expecting to find a loose sash. As to reply, an echoing rattle sounded in the room."</i></blockquote>
<b><u>Quote: </u></b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Through a series of codes, the family over time continued to communicate with these strange rappings. They learned through these codes that the rappings were made from a spirit of a peddler who called himself Charles Rosna that was buried under the house. John Fox was eager at this point to find out the truth about the “rappings” claims that he made many attempts to dig under the house to see if the remains exist. After much hard work and many unsuccessful times of digging, to the families’ surprise, they found skeletal remains along with a peddlers box. News spread throughout New York and Great Britain, and many other people since have explored the spirit world and different ways to communicate with it."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"This was only the beginning of Modern Spiritualism, there are many other stories and references that are worth exploring to understand where we came from. For more information on Spiritualism, you may browse other sites, go to any store carrying New Age books, or come and visit us. We look forward to helping you become more aware of the doorways spirit has opened on your pathway."</i></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"The birth of the Modern Spiritualist Movement is most widely accepted as having taken place on March 31, 1848, with the events surrounding the Fox family, in Hydesville, New York. In reality, though, Spiritualism is as old as humanity. Spiritualism, in its pure essence, has its roots in ancient religion and spirituality. In effect, Spiritualism represents the alternative to Materialism. Furthermore, it is the basic essence from which all religious thought appeared and continues to appear on this great Earth plane. As such, Spiritualism really belongs to no group, nor to any religious movement or denomination. It is a gift from God, given to all people, of all faiths and denominations."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Therefore, what is a Spiritualist church? Well, I guess all churches, temples, synagogues, and mosques are spiritualist in nature, because all houses of worship are supposed to be places from which the message and inspiration of a higher Spirit can come forth."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Spiritualism, itself, as a concept of communication between those in the body and those in Spirit, has been a part of the human story for centuries. The Old and New Testaments are, in effect, a grand recording of ancient Spiritualism; they talk about spirit intervention and communication from approximately 1800 B.C. to around 200 A.D. Throughout their pages, we are warned to discriminate carefully between true and false prophets. Many were the people of Biblical times who were admonished to "test the spirits"."</i></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"One of the greatest religious movements of the 19th century began in the bedroom of two young girls living in a farmhouse in Hydesville, New York. On a late March day in 1848, Margaretta “Maggie” Fox, 14, and Kate, her 11-year-old sister, waylaid a neighbor, eager to share an odd and frightening phenomenon. Every night around bedtime, they said, they heard a series of raps on the walls and furniture—raps that seemed to manifest with a peculiar, otherworldly intelligence. The neighbor, skeptical, came to see for herself, joining the girls in the small chamber they shared with their parents. While Maggie and Kate huddled together on their bed, their mother, Margaret, began the demonstration."</i></blockquote>
<b><u>Quote: </u></b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"The Posts invited the girls to a gathering at their home, anxious to see if they could communicate with spirits in another locale. “I suppose I went with as much unbelief as Thomas felt when he was introduced to Jesus after he had ascended,” Isaac Post wrote, but he was swayed by “very distinct thumps under the floor… and several apparent answers.” He was further convinced when Leah Fox also proved to be a medium, communicating with the Posts’ recently deceased daughter. The Posts rented the largest hall in Rochester, and four hundred people came to hear the mysterious noises. Afterward Amy Post accompanied the sisters to a private chamber, where they disrobed and were examined by a committee of skeptics, who found no evidence of a hoax"</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>".The idea that one could communicate with spirits was hardly new—the Bible contains hundreds of references to angels administering to man—but the movement known as Modern Spiritualism sprang from several distinct revolutionary philosophies and characters. The ideas and practices of Franz Anton Mesmer, an 18th-century Australian healer, had spread to the United States and by the 1840s held the country in thrall. Mesmer proposed that everything in the universe, including the human body, was governed by a “magnetic fluid” that could become imbalanced, causing illness. By waving his hands over a patient’s body, he induced a “mesmerized” hypnotic state that allowed him to manipulate the magnetic force and restore health. Amateur mesmerists became a popular attraction at parties and in parlors, a few proving skillful enough to attract paying customers. Some who awakened from a mesmeric trance claimed to have experienced visions of spirits from another dimension."</i></blockquote>

<i>"The Fox sisters were three sisters from New York who played an important role in the creation of Spiritualism. The three sisters were Leah Fox (1814–1890), Margaret Fox (also called Maggie) (1833–1893) and Kate Fox (1837–1892). The two younger sisters used “rappings” to convince their much older sister and others that they were communicating with spirits. Their older sister then took charge of them and managed their careers for some time. They all enjoyed success as mediums for many years.In 1888 Margaret confessed that their rappings had been a hoax and publicly demonstrated their method. She attempted to recant her confession the next year, but their reputation was ruined and in less than five years they were all dead, with Margaret and Kate dying in abject poverty. Spiritualism continued as if the confessions of the Fox sisters had never happened."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>" In 1848, the two younger sisters – Kate (age 12) and Margaret (age 15) – were living in a house in Hydesville, New York with their parents. Hydesville no longer exists but was a hamlet that was part of the township of Arcadia in Wayne County. The house had some prior reputation for being haunted, but it wasn’t until late March that the family began to be frightened by unexplained sounds that at times sounded like knocking, and at other times like the moving of furniture."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"In 1888, Margaret told her story of the origins of the mysterious “rappings”"</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>“When we went to bed at night we used to tie an apple to a string and move the string up and down, causing the apple to bump on the floor, or we would drop the apple on the floor, making a strange noise every time it would rebound. Mother listened to this for a time. She would not understand it and did not suspect us as being capable of a trick because we were so young.”"</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>" During the night of March 31, Kate challenged the invisible noise-maker, presumed to be a “spirit”, to repeat the snaps of her fingers. “It” did. “It” was asked to rap out the ages of the girls. “It” did.The neighbours were called in, and over the course of the next few days a type of code was developed where raps could signify yes or no in response to a question, or be used to indicate a letter of the alphabet."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"The girls addressed the spirit as “Mr. Splitfoot” which is a nickname for the Devil. Later, the alleged “entity” creating the sounds claimed to be the spirit of a peddler named Charles B. Rosma,who had been murdered five years earlier and buried in the cellar. Doyle claims the neighbors dug up the cellar and found a few pieces of bone, but it wasn’t until 1904 that a skeleton was found, buried in the cellar wall. No missing person named Charles B. Rosma was ever identified."</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Over the years, sisters Kate and Margaret had developed serious drinking problems. Around 1888 they became embroiled in a quarrel with their sister Leah and other leading Spiritualists, who were concerned that Kate was drinking too much to care properly for her children. At the same time, Margaret, contemplating a return to the Roman Catholic faith, became convinced that her powers were diabolical."</i></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"The Fox sisters are believed to be the first practitioners of a seance, when two of the sisters -Kate and Margaret Fox – became frightened by mysterious knocking sounds in their home. Kate asked the mysterious source of the knocking sound to knock the same amount of times she clicked her fingers, as it obeyed this soon formed into a yes/no system, and later into an alphabet knocking system, which led the women to discover they were communicating with a man who had been murdered inside their house."</i> </blockquote>

This is a <b>great </b>book for <i>studying </i>and <i>learning </i>more about <b><i>Spiritualism</i></b>. I <u style="font-style: italic;"><b>HIGHLY </b></u><b><u><i>recommend </i></u></b>it. You can get it at <i>Amazon.com</i>. This book goes into <i>great <b>detail </b></i>and it even has <i>work book </i>pages in it so you can test yourself and see how much you have learned after each chapter. It's a <b>great </b>book to <i>learn </i>from. There are also other great books on <b><i>Spiritualism </i></b>out there. I own quite a few books about it, and they are all pretty good. But <u><i><b>Raymond </b></i></u><b><i><u>Buckland's </u></i></b>book about <b><i>Spiritualism </i></b>is the <b><i><u>best </u></i></b>I have read by far!!! You should <i>definitely </i>check it out. It is worth the read. You can learn so much from this book.</div>
