The Ouija – Is it an evil instrument?
If you are using it for evil purposes, then it will bring negative energy through. If you are using it for good, loving purposes, then it will bring positive energy through. But I do want to stress, because of it being such a powerful doorway to spirit, if the board is not CONTROLLED properly, you can inadvertently invite negative energy in!
October, the Month of all Things Paranormal
As a paranormal enthusiast, I LOVE the month of October. A month in which many believe the veil between our world and the hereafter is at its thinnest, especially during Halloween (October 31st). When this month finally arrives, the world moves into the rapid change...

Dying to be Me, A Review of One Woman’s Afterlife journey!
Anita was suffering with cancer, stage 4, and her body was shutting down. She entered a deep coma and as doctors waited for her life to end, she was experiencing “the other side”. When she regained consciousness (totally not expected), her cancer spontaneously healed and all her physical ailments improved. She is now a healthy and happy woman! She chose to come back, she says, and not stay “there” because she wanted to share her experience and their (Spirit’s) message with the world.
