I have worked as a professional psychic medium for several years, during which I have traveled to numerous sites to conduct cleansings or to verify the existence of spirits or entities. This experience has resulted in a variety of personal paranormal encounters.

Here are accounts of supernatural experiences that individuals have recounted.

Locked Eyes with Ghost

-by Diane (Wellington, Fl. USA)

I was on a trip in another city and stopped at a little store to get a soda. While in the car, I noticed a man coming out of the store. He looked exactly like my ex-father-in-law Joe. I haven’t seen this man for over twenty years. We both stared and each other, like, “what are you doing here”? We didn’t speak, and we just went on our way. I kept thinking about him all the way home. It was just so strange, especially that stare, when we just locked eyes. It really shook me. Later that night I received a call from my ex-husband telling me that Joe, his father had passed away that afternoon. I was just dumbfounded. Was it really him?

My First Paranormal Experience

– by Shreena Perez-Doi (Waianae HI, US)

I was going through a lot of stuff at the time I had my first paranormal experience. I had recently left my boyfriend of eleven years for the first time ever. I felt lost but I found it in me to keep my head high and get through it. I went out with my friends a lot and was having the time of my life because I never had any fun in my relationship. So, one day I was at my mother’s house, and I was taking pictures of myself. Later when I scanned through my images, I found this. I don’t feel any harm from the photo I just want to know who that is and what is it that they want because there are so many of them.

Apparition From Past

– by Penelope Ghias (Plaistow London)

I looked towards the stairs and to my surprise I saw an old man, he watched me and I him. As he walked up the stairs his hands were on the banister for balance. He was wearing maroon woolen top and light brownish trousers; he smiled at me then he vanished. Later I saw my next-door neighbor and asked her who had lived there before. She said a lot of different people. I then described a person, and she said you couldn’t have seen him he’s been dead for years. She said he always wore those clothes as they were his favorite.

Homeless Ghost

– by James Howlett (London, UK)

During the 2nd World War, the flats we lived in got bombed and were boarded up. After the war the flats were un-boarded so they could be rebuilt for people to live in again. When they started removing the boards from the windows of the flats, they found the bodies of two homeless men. I lived there in the 1980’s. On one occasion when I was about to leave a room the door swung open and standing in front of me was the shadowy figure of the ghost of one of the homeless men. Although it was a shock at the time, there was never any negativity.

Ghostly Baby Monitor

– by Megan (Saginaw MI)

This is one of the most scary ghost stories I have to share. We have a baby monitor for our daughter. When it’s on we hear a ghost talking to my daughter. We have both been hearing a female voice coming through the baby monitor. We hear a woman talking to my daughter in a low voice. Sometimes, my boyfriend also sees the shadow of someone walking around.

• RE: Ghostly Baby Monitor by: Amanda.  I have a similar story. When my son was 10 months old My husband awoke one night to a woman singing him a muted lullaby over the airwaves. We could tell from her voice that she was elderly and that she had a distinct German accent. I sensed her presence and I saw from her eyes as she reached down and touched him on his back – even though I was in the master bedroom on the first floor. Without understanding or thinking that her touch would disturb him-as it now was ice cold to his senses, he cried. Alarmed she stopped singing, looked around the room sadly, and disappeared. She interacted with the children often over the years. I later learned she was the owner of the home just before us. I saw her shadow as she walked off to afternoon mass as she did every day in life.

Ghost Of Love Passed 

– by Jo (Scotland)

I had lost my first love and father to my twin boys. One day where I was really angry and upset with myself and him after reading a letter of his to my boys. I remember sitting heartbroken, shouting at him, and hating myself and him. I could feel him touching my leg, arm and face and I remember telling him “Don’t you dare touch me. Just go away leave me alone”. That night I found it hard to sleep although I did end up falling asleep. It was like sleeping but I knew I was awake too. I heard a voice say, “Joanne can you hear me?” I remember nodding yes. I knew this voice it was my love. Then he says, “Joanne can you see me?” Before I could say anything, it was like he just sat right in front of my face, so close I could see is eyes, nose and lips. He was appearing in a pure glow of mist. Then I woke up feeling weird all day.

Who Let The Ghost In?

– by Charitie (NY)

As I went out to my garage to take the dog out for a walk my husband opened the overhead door to check out the snow blower. As he opened the door, a man walked in quickly, he was transparent. He was wearing a Carhartt jacket, blue jeans and he stopped and spooked the heck out of us. He said as he pointed to me, “I know you can see ghosts because you looked right at me when I came in”. He said, “I need you to help me out”, and then his voice started fading as he started fading on me, and he spoke once again saying “they keep moving my body on me, help me find it, so I can go home”. I then saw a blur moving out of the garage from where he came from, like he was walking out. Then everything went back to normal.

Afghan Hound and Ghost 

– by: Anonymous

I moved from the city to a rural mountain area with my Afghan Hound, Asar, and my 6 year old daughter. Not long at all after settling in, Asar would jump upon my bed (which he was not allowed to do) and start barking wildly out the window to the front porch as if someone had arrived. You could hear footsteps or the sound of someone coming up the steps onto the porch. But… no one was there! This happened every day at 5pm. It was becoming so un-nerving that I went to a friend for advice regarding what to do about it. Hence, I was told to speak with the spirit regarding their previous passing, to help them understand that they no longer possessed a body and that it was OK for them to turn towards the light and leave. It worked! First time out! About a year later, I was moving out. Paying my final rent to my neighbor who lived nearby, we started chatting and I mentioned my experience upon moving into the haunted house. He told me that the “Old Lady” who was known to have been living there for many years, had brought her firewood in for the night every evening about 5pm and that she had fallen one evening, perhaps a heart attack, and she froze to death right there at those steps.

The winter solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year, when one half of the Earth is tilted the farthest away from the sun and typically occurs on December 21 or 22. The winter solstice is not only in the Northern Hemisphere; it occurs in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, but at opposite times of the year, meaning when one hemisphere experiences winter solstice, the other experiences summer solstice. In the Southern Hemisphere, Dec. 21 marks the summer solstice. Its winter solstice will arrive June 20, the same day the Northern Hemisphere celebrates its summer solstice. The Earth experiences two winter solstices each year, one in each hemisphere. This astronomical event signifies the point at which the Earth’s axial tilt is farthest from the sun, resulting in minimal daylight.

Culturally, the winter solstice has been celebrated by various civilizations throughout history, often symbolizing rebirth and the return of light. Many traditions and festivals are associated with this time, reflecting themes of renewal and hope as days gradually begin to lengthen.

In contemporary society, the winter solstice continues to hold significance, inspiring various celebrations and rituals. It serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of the seasons and the enduring connection between humanity and the natural world.

Seasons vs. solstices:

For many people, the winter solstice marks the changing of fall to winter. But there’s a difference between the winter solstice—called the astronomical first day of winter—and the first day of the winter season, which is called the meteorological first day of winter. Each year, meteorologists—people who study weather and climate—determine the first day of the winter season based on temperature records. In the United States, winter lasts about 90 days. Scientists often tie it to the calendar, so that winter falls during the latter part of December, January, February, and the early part of March.

A common misconception is that the winter solstice is the coldest day of the year. But the coldest temperatures are often still at least a month away, depending on where you live. That’s because the Earth’s land and water takes time to cool down.

Why is the Winter Solstice Significant for Mediums:

For mediums, the Winter Solstice is considered a significant time because it represents the darkest point of the year, symbolizing a heightened ability to connect with the spirit world due to the thin veil between dimensions, allowing for deeper intuition and potentially stronger psychic experiences as the light returns after the longest night. The shift from darkness to light is thought to amplify a person’s natural intuition, allowing psychics to tap into deeper insights and receive clearer messages.

The solstice marks the turning point where daylight begins to increase again, signifying a cycle of death and rebirth which is often associated with spiritual renewal and connection with the spirit realm. It can be a time to reflect on personal transformation, allowing readings to focus on areas of growth and new beginnings.

The darkness of the longest night amplifies psychic energy, making it easier for mediums to access information from the spirit world. The winter solstice is traditionally a time for introspection and reflection, allowing mediums to focus on their spiritual practices and connect with their inner guidance.

Many cultures throughout history have celebrated the winter solstice with rituals and ceremonies focused on spiritual connection, which can be particularly meaningful for mediums seeking to tap into these ancestral practices.

History of the Winter Solstice:

Many Americans picturing winter solstice celebrations may immediately think of Stonehenge, but cultures have honored the solstice much closer to home. Many Native American communities have long held solstice ceremonies.

For decades, scholars have studied the astronomical observations that ancient indigenous people made and sought to understand their meaning. Some societies in North America expressed this knowledge through constructions at special sites, such as Cahokia in Illinois – temple pyramids and mounds, similar to those the Aztecs built, which align with the sun on solstice days.

Although some winter solstice traditions have changed over time, they are still a reminder of indigenous peoples’ understanding of the intricate workings of the solar system and their ancient understanding of the interconnectedness of the world.

The Winter Solstice is a solar holiday that is celebrated by many pagan traditions, including Yule, and is a time to honor the sun and the rebirth of new life.

Yule is a festival that originated with the Norse and Scandinavian peoples, Yule is celebrated on the Winter Solstice by many Pagans and Wiccans. Yule is a time for gift-giving, merriment, and spiritual reflection. Themes of light, fire, and feasting are common, and some historians believe that sacrifices were made to the gods, the dead, or both.

Alban Arthan is a celebration by the Druids that means “Light of Winter”. The tradition of hanging mistletoe at Alban Arthan comes from the idea that the plant’s green foliage symbolizes life continuing through the winter. For early farming communities, Alban Arthan was a time to celebrate and encourage a good growing season and new harvest. They would slaughter cattle that had been fattened up over the summer to provide food for the winter. They would also drink beer and wine that had been prepared earlier in the year.

Saturnalia is a week-long festival in ancient Rome that honored the god Saturn. Saturnalia was celebrated on December 17th, but was extended to a seven-day festival by the 1st century B.C.E. Saturnalia was a time of feasting, drinking, singing, dancing, and playing games. People would also decorate with wreaths and greenery, light candles, and give gifts. Saturnalia was a time to loosen moral rules and have fun. It was also known as a “feast of liberation” because enslaved people were temporarily freed. Masters would invite their slaves to eat with them and even serve them. A sacrifice of young pigs was made at the Temple of Saturn, which were then eaten at a public feast. Romans would also cut the woolen ties that symbolically bound the statue of Saturn

Indigenous cultures, such as the Inuit and various Native American tribes, had ceremonies and rituals to honor the change of seasons and the renewal of life. Indigenous traditions for the winter solstice often involve community gatherings, ceremonies honoring the sun as a life-giver, prayers for the coming year, dances, feasting, and storytelling, with a focus on the symbolic rebirth of the sun after the longest night, signifying renewal and the return of longer days; some specific practices include astronomical observations, sweat lodge ceremonies, and constructing special structures aligned with the winter solstice sun, like the Cahokia mounds in Illinois.

Spiritual Practices for the Winter Solstice:

To spiritually celebrate the Winter Solstice, you can engage in practices like: lighting candles, meditating, reflecting on the year, journaling about intentions for the new year, burning a Yule log, creating a wreath, taking a ritual bath, connecting with nature, and spending time with loved ones; essentially honoring the cycle of darkness giving way to light, signifying renewal and rebirth as the days begin to lengthen again.

• Focus on inner light: Use candles or other light sources to symbolize the returning light and your own inner strength
• Rituals of renewal: Practices like writing down intentions, releasing negativity into a fire, or taking a cleansing bath can represent a fresh start.
• Connect with nature: Spend time outdoors, observing the winter landscape, or bringing natural elements like evergreen boughs into your home.
• Gratitude and reflection: Take time to appreciate the year that has passed and reflect on what you’ve learned.
• Candle meditation: Sit in a quiet space with a single candle and focus on the flame, allowing yourself to enter a meditative state.
• Yule log burning: Traditionally, a large log is burned in a fireplace to symbolize the returning sun.
• Wreath making: Create a wreath using natural materials like evergreen branches to represent the cycle of life.
• Journaling: Write down thoughts, reflections on the year, and intentions for the coming year.

Spiritually, it’s a time to honor both the light and the darkness that resides within each of us. Take small scraps of paper and write down the things that you would like to let go of. When everyone has finished, throw them in the yule log fire, transforming darkness into light.

To harness the Winter Solstice energy for healing, focus on practices that promote introspection, renewal, and connection to the natural cycle of darkness and light, such as spending time in nature, meditation, journaling, releasing negativity, setting intentions for the new year, and creating a sacred space with candles and symbolic items, all while embracing the stillness and quietude of the longest night

Aries, you possess an abundance of energy and a strong competitive spirit. Your robust appetite guarantees that you will not experience hunger this Thanksgiving. You are likely to fill your plate with a generous portion of ham, and you will take the initiative to ensure that there is an ample supply of ham available for your guests to savor.

Taurus is characterized by a strong affinity for comfort and sensual pleasures, which naturally extends to a deep appreciation for fine cuisine. During Thanksgiving, the culinary options are vast, yet one essential element remains: the generous application of gravy, as it enhances the flavors of the meal. Gravy pairs exceptionally well with mashed potatoes and turkey, complementing a variety of other dishes as well. If you are the host of the Thanksgiving gathering, it is imperative to provide an ample supply of gravy, ensuring that your guests can lavishly adorn their plates. This addition significantly elevates the overall dining experience.

Gemini, your adaptable nature and appreciation for diversity are evident. Therefore, during Thanksgiving dinner, you will not only select an assortment of dishes such as turkey, ham, and mashed potatoes, but you will also ensure that corn is prominently featured. Whether you choose corn on the cob or a serving of kernels, it will be a staple on your table. Moreover, there are additional motivations for including a substantial amount of corn in your Thanksgiving preparations. You will utilize corn to create pudding and to bake bread, showcasing its remarkable versatility.

Cancer, you possess a strong desire to provide comfort to those around you, and family holds significant importance in your life. Consequently, you are likely to take the initiative in inviting guests to your Thanksgiving celebration. Among the most comforting dishes associated with Thanksgiving is stuffing, which is why you will prepare an ample amount for your loved ones to savor. You will undoubtedly indulge in generous servings, ensuring your plate is filled with this delightful dish. Stuffing is a timeless favorite, especially when paired with gravy and turkey, making it a perfect choice for the occasion.

Leo, you thrive in the limelight, and your fondness for turkey on Thanksgiving reflects this trait. When people think of Thanksgiving, the turkey is often the first image that comes to mind. You not only resonate with this idea but are also likely to host an exceptional turkey dinner during the holiday, showcasing a variety of turkey dishes that you can prepare. It would be quite expected for you to take the lead in hosting a Thanksgiving gathering or to make a significant contribution to one you are invited to by selecting the largest turkey available at the supermarket. This will certainly draw attention to you!

Virgo, your strong awareness of health is commendable. As Thanksgiving approaches, your attention will likely turn to the high fat and calorie content of traditional meals. Consequently, you will take the initiative to incorporate more greens into the menu. You will not only load your plate with a variety of mixed greens while moderating your intake of other dishes, but you will also encourage those around you to prioritize their vegetable consumption. Your intentions are rooted in a genuine concern for their health.

Libra, you possess a natural affinity for socializing and a desire to bring joy to those around you, which is why macaroni and cheese stands out as your preferred dish during the Thanksgiving celebration. It is universally adored, and you recognize its popularity among guests. Consequently, if you are the host of the Thanksgiving dinner, you will promptly serve generous portions of macaroni and cheese alongside the turkey. You are confident that your guests will appreciate this choice. If you find yourself attending someone else’s Thanksgiving gathering, you will ensure to bring this beloved dish.

Scorpio, you possess a profound intensity and an air of mystery. The flavor of cranberry sauce is characterized by its sharp and robust taste, which may lead some individuals to forgo it. However, you are not among them. You will generously adorn your Thanksgiving feast with an abundance of cranberry sauce, leaving those around you curious about your fondness for it. You may find yourself pondering why others are perplexed by your enthusiasm for cranberry sauce, yet you remain unconcerned with their opinions. Your focus lies solely on your own preferences, and you refuse to let anyone pass judgment on your choices.

Sagittarius, you embody an optimistic spirit, consistently anticipating enjoyable experiences. While you certainly appreciate a generous Thanksgiving spread featuring ham, turkey, and an array of sides generously topped with gravy, it is the pecan pie that truly captures your attention when dessert time arrives. You take pleasure in serving slices of this delightful pie to your guests, often accompanied by one or two scoops of vanilla ice cream. The dessert portion of the meal brings you immense joy, as it represents the pinnacle of the celebration.

Capricorn, you are recognized as the diligent worker of the zodiac, and you strive to leave a lasting impression through your efforts. Consequently, your contribution to the Thanksgiving celebration will be a flavorful batch of mashed potatoes, enhanced with ingredients such as garlic, butter, and various spices. Initially, you will dedicate significant effort in the kitchen to boil the raw potatoes until they are tender enough to be mashed. Following this, you will incorporate the seasonings to create the ideal mashed potatoes, ensuring that they are a delightful addition for all to savor, whether you are hosting the Thanksgiving gathering or attending as a guest.

Aquarius, you embrace your individuality and seek recognition for your unique approach, clearly indicating your reluctance to conform. Consequently, traditional Thanksgiving fare such as turkey and stuffing may not appeal to you. Instead, you are likely to prepare a distinctive green bean casserole that will draw attention on the dining table. You might choose to crush some crackers and sauté onions to create a delightful topping for the casserole, which you will enhance with cheese. If you are the host for Thanksgiving dinner, you may opt not to serve turkey unless a guest brings it, as your signature casserole will take center stage. Alternatively, you would be pleased to receive this dish if invited to someone else’s gathering.

As a Pisces, you possess a creative spirit and a deep appreciation for the beauty that arises from imagination. You are likely to hasten through your Thanksgiving meal in eager anticipation of indulging in your cherished apple pie, which is the highlight of the celebration for you. Moreover, you would be inclined to enhance your apple pie with a drizzle of caramel sauce, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and a generous topping of chocolate sauce. It is difficult to see how one could go wrong with such a delightful combination. Thus, the dessert portion of the feast resonates with you more than any other aspect.

The full moon will arrive Nov. 15, 2024, at 4:28 p.m. ET. As the chill of November sets in, embrace the energy of the final supermoon in a rare series of three, known as the full beaver moon — a time to build inner strength for the colder months ahead.

November’s Beaver Moon will appear in the sky next to the gorgeous Pleiades star cluster, also known as the “Seven Sisters.”

November’s Full Beaver Moon will rise on Friday (Nov. 15), just in time for those willing to stay up late for some weekend sky watching. The moment of full moon occurs at 4:28 p.m. EST (2128 GMT) on Friday, but the moon will appear full for most observers for a day or two prior to the moment of exact fullness.

November’s full moon joins another celestial treat: the lovely Pleiades star cluster, located just beside the moon in the Taurus constellation. This dense cluster of stars, also known as the “Seven Sisters,” is one of the most popular sights of the night sky. Just note that the brightness of the full moon will make viewing most of the stars of this cluster difficult.

The full moon will be in the Taurus constellation, shining just beneath the curved horns of Aries, the Ram. Some four hours after sunset, the Hunter of the Orion constellation will follow the moon up the eastern sky.

Four visible planets will join the Full Beaver Moon in the night sky on Nov. 15. First up is Mercury, which will appear low in the sky to the southwest. Mercury sets early, though, dipping below the horizon just over an hour after the sun sets.

If you’ve never observed a distant object in the direction of the setting sun, it might be best leaving this one to more experienced sky watchers, as pointing any optics in the direction of the sun (or just looking at it with the naked eye) can be dangerous.

Far easier to see will be Venus and Saturn. Venus will likewise be in the southwest, but much higher than Mercury. It will be the brightest object in that direction and will be among the first “stars” out on Friday. It will set some 90 minutes after sunset.

Saturn will be high in the southern sky when the moon rises and will remain there, shining with a pale yellow glow, until it sets in the west well after midnight local time.

Next up is Jupiter, which will rise in the east some two hours after the moon. It will remain in the sky throughout the night, setting just after the moon in the west well after sunrise on Saturday (Nov. 16).

Mars is a latecomer to the full moon party, rising just before midnight in the east.
