Are You Psychic? Learn How to Test Your Psychic Abilities By Talking to the Dead!

Written By Danny Fredricks

What is the best way to test your psychic abilities? Is practicing your precognitive powers the answer? Is trying to have an out of body experience, or playing with a Ouija board, or exploring the paranormal going to give you the answers you need? In this article we are going to take a quick and easy look at how you can TEST your psychic abilities by communicating with spirit, or said differently.... working with psychic mediums to talk to the dead! Curious to know more? Continue reading as we take a closer look below!

NOT Everyone Can Communicate with Spirit

It's true. It seems that people who are MOST amenable to making spirit communication a reality are those that have some openness to pre-existing belief in the authenticity of psychic abilities AND a curiosity about an afterlife. In fact, in many scientific studies, the people who do the WORST on just about all psychic tests are those that are either fundamentalist in their religious beliefs.....OR, are fundamentalist in their atheistic beliefs. Pretty interesting.....don't you agree?

What does that tell us?

That a closed mind......is a closed mind, regardless of what they believe. And in my view, the more open minded you are, the more open your consciousness is to receive REAL information that is waiting to come through and "speak" to you.

For example....

Psychic mediums, in scientific tests done by both believers and skeptics alike, report a FAR easier time getting messages for people who are at least "curious" or "open" to the idea that there could be an afterlife. MORE importantly, people who have at least one POSITIVE contact with a psychic medium where genuine information comes through tend to be FAR more likely to have subsequent contact with spirit on their own....without needing to use a medium as an intermediary.

(in other words, a medium reading can OPEN you up, or trigger something that allows future communication to come FAR more easily)

The same seems to be true of all sorts of other experiences. For example, one of the striking similarities in people who have a traditional near death experience is they come "BACK" with psychic abilities or unusual sensitivities they didn't have before. (this is SO common, it's actually listed as one of the top 10 aftereffects of an NDE)

The truth?

How ALL of this works exactly is a magical mystery and no one really has all the answers. But the fun is in the adventure, and the exploration and in opening yourself up to the joy of discovery. And for ME......it all started with a simple psychic medium reading almost 20 years ago, and life has never been the same since!

What Is a Soul Mate?

Written By Gary Wonning

There are many questions and misconceptions concerning the term "soul mate". Many think we have only one when in fact we have many. Everyone we interact with on a daily basis is a soul mate of one kind or another. What many refer to as a soul mate is actually a twin flame or twin soul, that is entirely a horse of a different color which I will explain in separate articles.

Soul mates are souls we have had life experiences, most likely many times, not only on planet earth, but many other realms of existence as well. Soul mates come together to perform some service or mission, not only to themselves, but to mankind as well. These missions are not always of grandiose design, they can be as ordinary as raising a family and providing a home for loved ones. It could be a business partnership, it could be any project where a need is met, often times soul mates come in and out of our lives and we share our life with many different soul mates during our time on earth as well as other realms of existence.

We have many soul mates and only one twin flame or twin soul. However, you need to treat all you meet with dignity and respect, everything you do affects your twin flame. You will not be re-united with your twin flame until you are ready and have evolved to a state of readiness, this will not happen until both have reached a level of acceptance for everyone and their actions. It doesn't mean you have to believe and condone all the actions of others, it just means you need to realize that everyone has karma and we need to accept they are following their own path, whether or not we choose to participate in their life is our choice.

Soul mates must meet the alpha and omega criteria or a mission will not be completed, The Alpha is the male and the omega is the female energy force. All endeavors on earth whether it be personal, political, business or anything else have an alpha and omega. In politics, the liberals are omega and the conservative are alpha. That is why the liberals are all about social issues and believe in a more socialist form of government and the conservatives are all about personal freedom, free markets, balancing budgets and believing everyone should carry their own weight,financially, if possible.

Thus we all have many soul mates with whom we inter react with many times and in many different relationships to not only resolve karma, but to grow and learn as well.

My spiritual journey began many years ago, after experiencing some life changing events, which created in me the desire to search for life's meaning. I have traversed the globe in search of truth, my truth, during which time I have had an opportunity to study with Aborigine elders, native American Indians, and some of the world's finest intuitives. All of this has lead me to better understand our world and all things therein contained.

I have created two blogs to share some of my adventures and knowledge as I see it. Please fell free to comment.

Witchcraft - Not All Black and White

Written By Kim K Brown

When you hear the word "witch" what image pops into your head? Maybe you imagine the Wicked Witch of the West, with green skin and a wart on the end of the nose? Perhaps you think of the evil stepmother in fairy tales? You might also think of the fairy godmother or the Good Witch of the North who resembles a fairy princess. If you have been indoctrinated with all these images of so-called "witches" from the media and your knowledge on the subject outside of movies and children's books is limited, then your first image would probably not be that of real, average, normal people but instead of fictitious characters like the ones mentioned above. However, things are not black and white in real life, and there are no such things as good or bad witches as portrayed in some books and movies. Rather, there are just people for whom witchcraft is a part of their lives.

Witchcraft is basically the practice or use of magical or supernatural powers. It is typically practiced in the realm of a religion, such as different Wiccan or Pagan traditions, but not necessarily so. This means that it can be performed separate from a person's spirituality or belief in the Divine. Therefore, not all witches are Wiccans. Some are Pagans and some are something else entirely. Likewise not all Pagans use magic, and Wiccans are a type of Pagan witches. In terms of religion, magic is commonly used when performing certain religious rituals.

There are good and bad kinds of witchcraft, oftentimes referred to respectively as white and black. Black magic spells are used to harm an individual or individuals, whereas white magic spells are used to protect, help, and heal an individual or individuals. Good spells would usually be performed either for yourself or for people you care about. There are other types of spells that may also be performed, such as love spells, money making spells, and power enhancing magic spells.

While black magic spells can be performed, most religions that involve the practice of magic, such as Wicca and other Pagan religions, prohibit the use of magic to harm somebody. A lot of the magic that is performed in these religions is actually used to help ward off black magic and other harmful spells and rituals that have been or could be performed on somebody. Therefore, it would behoove you to disregard what you have learned about witchcraft and its followers from the media and conduct research through reputable sources to learn how it truly works.

YouTube Psychic Predicted Japan Earthquake Tsunami

Written by Mike Dewitt

Did a YouTube astrologist predict the Japan Tsunami?

On March 8th, a YouTube user by the name of “9Nania” predicted that there would be an “event” (Japan Tsunami Earthquake) between the dates of March 11 and March 23. In her video, the woman describes how last year there was a Chilean earthquake during alignment with a certain comet, and this is what she appeared to make her prediction on. The astrologer has since gained many followers, many of whom have left comments, requesting further advice.
In the YouTube video, the psychic/astrologist says, “I would recommend that if you’re living in a fault zone area; take a vacation before March 11th. That’s what I’m recommending, that’s what I’ve been recommending for three months. Somethings gonna happen, guys.”

And something did indeed happen. In Japan, an 8.9 magnitude earthquake caused a tsunami in Japan, which devoured buildings, cars, boats, and everything in its path. Sendai was the area that was immediately affected; it lies about 250 miles northeast of Tokyo. Police have announced that 200-300 bodies have been found thus far, with many others currently missing and thought to be dead.

An official State of Emergency was declared, and a tsunami warning is currently in effect for North and South America.
Here is the YouTube video of the Japan Earthquake Tsunami prediction:

Chip Coffey Psychic Or Bully?

 

Written by Leslie Valentin

We live in a world where the general public is caught up by Paparazzi moments due to celebrities dating or breaking up, acting bizarre and fighting addictions amongst other issues. We also live in a time where the facts are not the key points but rather speculation, rumors and innuendos are. The world of reporting on people who are "in the spotlight" has purportedly assassinated the character of many, caused heartbreak for others, and yet for some, a major boost in ratings and popularity. The paranormal world of television or its “stars” are not immune from this.

This nation and probably much of the free viewing world has viewed recent behaviors by actor, Charlie Sheen.  His grandiose scheme of raging has not only lost him credibility, but also his contract with a television network as well as his job.

What is appalling is when persons such as Charlie Sheen and Mel Gibson are held accountable for their words and actions while others who throw hissy fits and tantrums are not.

For some time now on the paranormal side of media entertainment industry on Facebook as well as on Twitter, spews can be read about various people by one renowned individual, Psychic Chip Coffey.  Mind you, Mr. Coffey has no issues speaking out against Charlie Sheen and his actions and behaviors, nor does he seem to hold his tongue about much.  Granted, Mr. Coffey is an animal activist in Georgia and has done wonders to help Shelter animals find new homes, and he also wrote a piece on September 22, 2010 on Facebook about Bullying.

The first line in his Facebook blog reads:
“Throughout my life - from the time I was a child - I've been bullied. Called nasty names and been made fun of. Even physically attacked! Sometimes, it hurt and sometimes it made me mad as hell.”
The entire blog can be read on Facebook, and the web address in listed under sources.  With a statement like that, it is hard to imagine that Mr. Coffey would in any way lash out online or otherwise.  Mr. Coffey goes on to state in this blog:

“I try to ignore those who make nasty comments about me. I refuse to defend or debate because I realize that, in most instances, I am wasting my time by doing so. Those who choose to bash others generally love it when the individual they are bashing gets into a pissing contest with them. And it fuels the fire, oftentimes creating a huge S#!TSTORM!”

So, with this said, why is it when one views Mr. Coffey’s Facebook and Twitter are there statements that are just the opposite.  And, why is it that some people are outright named while others are left nameless?
Mr. Coffey stated in a March 9, 2011 on Twitter to another person:
 “I understand your point & know he loves the attention, but if one doesn’t confront bullies, they will keep bullying!”
…and on March 7, 2011, Mr. Coffey twitted to another person:
“I don’t handle rudeness / discourtesy / disrespect / bullying well. ”  There is an old saying, “If you can’t stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen.”  Mr. Coffey has no issues handing out criticism but he doesn’t take kindly to another criticizing him or pointing out his character defects.  And with some reading between the Facebook and Twitter communities, one can find some of the lashings that Mr. Coffey issues.
Being in the entertainment business, yep folks, I said it….”entertainment”, you are in the spot light. And, in Mr. Coffey’s own words from another twit he made about a comment he received on Facebook on March 10, 2011:
“Brilliant comment sent to me on Facebook: Honey, the moment you go onto the internet, you open the door to every mentally ill person with a computer and a modem!”
Mr. Coffey twitted also another time that stated:

“I embrace free speech and the 1st Amendment but will say again. Just because you can does not mean you should.”
On September 7, 2009, Mr. Coffey wrote a blog on Facebook where he talks about limiting the freedom of speech.  As a reminder, our freedom of speech is the 1st Amendment.  Mr. Coffey goes on to say:
“Anyone with access to a computer can spout vitriol against others with little (or no) fear of reprimand or recourse. Many Internet bloggers and those who post on message boards to assail others use clever pseudonyms rather than their real names. This is no different than hooded or masked assailants in the "real world" who hide their identity and "cover their faces" in order to maliciously attack others. Thugs are thugs!”
The saying about what you put on the internet is not private is true.  It is a public forum.  With that said, one must remember that minding your manners literally is of essence if you are going to post, blog or share anything else on the electronic wave of communication. And, for those who feel the need to get on the internet and direct hateful and hurtful things to others must remember that while they might be protected by freedom of speech in the United States of America; rebuttals are also a freedom of speech so long as it is not lies.  If the latter is true, then libel and slander step in.

Mr. Coffey has shown behavior not only on the internet, but on the television as well.  Some could call it a passionate outburst; others could call it by a few different names.  The reaction or terming of these must be interpreted solely by the viewer.   It seems though, that with the credentials that Mr. Coffey boasts on his website - an “advanced degree in Counseling Psychology”, that Mr. Coffey would utilize the skills he has learned while in school about reacting or how to deal with others in general.  Questions generate however as to whether the “advanced degree” is a Bachelor’s Degree, a Master’s Degree, or a Doctorate.  It would be plausible that if Mr. Coffey possessed such a degree that he would list the actual degree and not refer to it as “advanced”.

It is deplorable however, that people who publically call for the assistance, aid and other means of help to so many can turn around and dump or stomp on others all within the same relative breath. What is even more troublesome is that the media industry and networks do not seem to have any issue with behavior in general unless it is directed at them literally, such as the case with Charlie Sheen.
Acting seems to come to Mr. Coffey naturally however. On his website under the “About Chip” page, it states:
“His psychic abilities manifested themselves when he was a young child and after successful careers in traditional counseling, the entertainment industry and travel management, he began working full-time as a psychic and medium in 2001.”

The public has been the focal point of Mr. Coffey’s aim when he chose to air his disapproval of different forums who wrote about him.  Websites such as scifake.com and ghosttheory.com have written articles about Mr. Coffey and some of the shows on A&E.  Mr. Coffey has bellied down to even name calling on Twitter towards scifake.com and their continued articles about him.  Unexplained-mysteries.com is another internet forum who speaks lowly about Mr. Coffey’s treatment of individuals, including Beatrice Marot – Medium to the Stars.

So, after scoping on some of the odd or unacceptable behaviors, one cannot help but wonder why Mr. Coffey is not held accountable for what could be called childish behavior on public forums such as Twitter and Facebook.

The moral of this story is, regardless of who says what, mind your manners per say. It is a moot point as to whether the words come from a celebrity or an average person walking down the street. Don't dish out hateful things if you don't want it coming back at you from someone else. Eventually, all the money in the world and the most impressive attorneys will not stop the judge from saying your lawsuit is dismissed because you got a taste of your own medicine! A forked tongue is not one to be trusted and eventually those who are two-faced are seen for what they are; or as another saying goes - Karma will come back to bite you in the butt!
Just saying....

The Dead Ring

By Mike Dewitt

A new paranormal phenomenon has emerged! It is called the Dead Ring. Paranormal researches have been actively reviewing countless reports of a strange incoming call that appears on cell phones.

People who have answers the call were frightened by what the heard. Some reports say that the phone rings only at specific times with a "withheld number" or "000000000000" on caller ID.

The calls often feature heavy static and the voice sounds faint and distant, while others claim to hear screams and broken messages such us "Please Help us or me". Most people who have experienced this phenomenon have also became ill with headaches,vomiting and sleep disorders after accepting the call.

There have been other reports of strange images appearing on cellphone camera photos that were not taken by the owner after receiving this call. Some mobile service providers say its just someone out there pranking people at random. But if that's the case how does anyone explain the strange illness that occurred rite after receiving this call?

But is this even possible? Paranormal investigators say YES and a lot agree that not only is it plausible but in fact the claims are just another forum of white noise.

So keeping that in mind researchers have been using cell phones during live investigations to see if any spirits would try to communicate with them. The results were staggering especially when ghostly activity was high.

Researchers have been giving warnings to all cell phone users look and see who is calling before answering!!! You might NOT want to talk to whatever is on the other side.

13 Signs That Your House Is Haunted

Written by ColdSpots

Whether your a veteran ghost hunter or just learning the ropes there are many things you need to consider when determining a location to be haunted. Not all haunting's are alike. There are a wide range of indications that you must consider in your evaluation. Such as windows and doors slamming shut repeatedly, unexplainable sounds, and unknown odors. These are all legitimate signs of the phenomena. Some haunting's feature a single phenomena, such as objects moving on their own. While other haunting's offer the feeling of being touched or hearing disembodied voices. In some very rare cases you might even run into a full bodied apparition.

Here's a list that covers most indications that your location maybe haunted:

A general uneasy feeling: like you are not alone, or the feeling of being watched are common in most reports of a haunting

The feeling of being touched: some investigators report that either their hair or an article of their clothing has been tugged on or something touched them, usually on their arm, hand or leg

Unexplainable movement: such as a shadow or light, the more extreme is to witness an object move on its own. For example chairs, tables, books, etc... The most common report is of something walking by them when no one else was there.

Strange pet behavior: A dog growling or repeatedly barking at something you are unable to see, or sudden refusal to enter a particular room or area of the location when in the past there was never a problem. You may even see the dog dart or dash as if something is chasing it away. Cats are another good indicator. They will occasionally sit there and their heads will move as if they are watching something invisible walking across the room, and sometimes they may get up and follow whatever is there. Cats personality are different from dogs, they are more likely to stick with a possible entity rather than run away. Animals also have sharper senses than humans, and many paranormal researchers believe their psychic maybe more finely tuned as well.

Electrical and appliance issues: Reports of TVs, stereos, lights and other electrically powered items, turning either on or off when the witness knows it was left the opposite way.

Unexplained Noises: such as foot steps, knocks, banging, and scratching sounds. Sounds of something being dropped or shuffled. The sound of doors and windows opening or closing. Sometimes these noises can be subtle or extremely loud.

Items disappearing and reappearing: Personal or commonly used items, such as car keys, hair brushes or cell phone, that suddenly disappear. Most people search high and low for a missing item but have no success. In some cases the items will go missing for days or even weeks, only finally to be found placed back in its original location. Some paranormal investigators call this "the borrowers" phenomenon.

Unexplained shadows: The sighting of unusual shapes or shadows moving at a fast rate, usually seen out of the corner of the eye. At times these shadows resemble a human form, with a dark gray or black color. Most people who witness this say, they see a flash moving in various directions.

Disembodied voices and whispers: a phenomena where a witness says they heard a voice saying something to them when no one is around, or multiple witnesses hearing the same thing with no explanation for it. Not only does this come in the form of voices but occasionally people will hear music coming from nowhere. Also a disembodied voice is heard with the naked ear, where as something such as an E.V.P. is only heard after playing back a recording device.

Unexplained temperature changes: These are also know as "cold spots". Usually a fluctuation of 10-20 degrees in a localized area indicates some either tryed or did manifest itself. Cold Spots are a classic symptom of a haunting.

Unexplained smells: the appearance of smells in the home, usually that of unfamiliar perfumes or colognes, that the witnesses do not recognize. This usually accompanies more severe phenomena such as full bodied apparitions. Odors such as rotten eggs are also reported.

Apparitions: the appearance of a physically visible phenomena, such as a mist or shade all the way to a being that looks solid and alive until it disappearing into a room or walks through an object it shouldn't be able to. These types of phenomena are very rare and if encountered should be documented as thoroughly as possible.

Physical Assault: hard shoves, slaps, and scratches are extremely rare, but if encountered leave the premises immediately.

Above are the most commonly reported occurrences of people who believe their residence to be haunted. We are not saying that all of the above will occur, and its possible that some things we did not mention could happen as well. It can get far worse, or there maybe a simple natural reason for what you or the client maybe experiencing. Odd noises don't have to be a spirit, it may just be a house settling, bad pluming, or possibly a wild animal. Check for problems with the structure, such as holes in the foundation, you may find a family of some creatures living inside the internal structure that can wreak all sorts of havoc. The same applies for investigating a business, if the property owner is complaining about windows and doors opening and closing, it could just be rusty hinges or a strong draft if the structure isn't properly insulated. This can explain away cold spots as well. At the end of the day, the majority of occurrences have a reasonable explanation, so before you tell a client they're haunted make sure you have the evidence to back it up.
