Big Seance: My Paranormal World

Have you or a loved one experienced a Near Death Experience (NDE)? We'd love to hear about it! Listen to learn how! Plus highlights from two past episodes where listeners and previous guests from the Big Seance Community shared tips and techniques.

Author J. Allen Cross is a practicing witch of Mexican, Native American, and European descent, who has written a new book, "American Brujeria: Modern Mexican-American Folk Magic." Besides this exciting upcoming book, other topics include negative entities and agreements, creatures on the Other Side, and using his abilities as a psychic medium to help others.

Jeff C. Carter, author of We Bleed Red & Green: 12 Chilling Tales for Christmas, returns to parlor! Is winter even scarier than Halloween? Jeff thinks so! Plus childhood memories of wintertime, Rudolph poop, lots of Santa talk, and the spooky Christmas traditions that you probably haven’t heard of!

Lisa M. Gunshore is the Buddhist Biohacker. She's also a psychic medium, channel, functional Ayurveda coach, and author. She shares the two amazing near death experiences that led her to the work she does now. Plus learn about clean food and leading a healthy lifestyle.

Lisa Morton, Halloween expert and author of Trick or Treat: A History of Halloween, joins Patrick in the parlor to discuss our favorite holiday! Topics include Dennison’s Bogie Books, yard haunts, common misconceptions, bobbing for apples, candy, movies, music, and the question of whether we can save Halloween in 2020!

Patrick chose his favorite moments from episodes of Halloween past, going back to 2014. Segments include LIVE moments from Trick or Treating, Sam Haynes, Annie Wilder, Karen A. Dahlman, Lesley Bannatyne, Jim Harold and the Ghost of Karen Carpenter, the 2016 LIVE Halloween Ouija Seance, and the hosts of the Cemetery Confessions podcast.

In a love letter to Halloween, Jeff C. Carter wrote 31 fun-sized Halloween tales and compiled them all into one great book, We Bleed Orange and Black. In this seriously funky year, Jeff hopes that it helps to fill a void while also putting you in the Halloween spirit! Discussions also include childhood nostalgia, masks and candy, and the Japanese tradition of Bon Odori.

A month after the senseless killing of George Floyd, and after a medium claimed to channel him with a questionable and insensitive message, Patrick sat down in the parlor to discuss the topic of Spiritual Bypassing with special guests Amber Choisella, Ash Riley, and Brian Smith. What is Spiritual Bypassing? Other topics include speaking out against racism, shadow work, the mother wound, toxic masculinity, and mental health.

We are officially kicking off the Halloween season early this year with Miranda Enzor of the simply amazing Spooky Little Halloween blog! We discuss Halloween parties, playlists, candy, traditions, movies, and how Miranda can help us save Halloween in 2020!

Lisa Morton tells the fascinating history of seances in her new book, "Calling the Spirits: A History of Seances." We discuss necromancy, spook shows, Spiritualism, fraudulent mediums, D.D. Home, Helen Duncan, Florence Cook, William Crookes, the American Civil War, spirit rapping, EVP, and of course, plenty of ectoplasm! PLUS, Patrick didn’t miss the opportunity to ask a Halloween expert about how the pandemic could change our favorite holiday!

A conversation with Brian Smith, who is a life coach, grief guide, podcast host, and author of Grief 2 Growth: Planted, Not Buried. How to Survive and Thrive After Life’s Greatest Challenges. Brian had long been on a spiritual quest, but after suffering from the loss of his daughter Shayna, who transitioned into spirit five years ago at the age of fifteen, that quest intensified. His mission in life is to help others along their journey by sharing the knowledge and wisdom he has acquired over the years.

An upbeat conversation with Kris Meredith, television and radio presenter, host of Sky Channel 680's Psychic Today, and host/producer of the podcast and YouTube show, Keep It Spiritual. Topics include developing mediumship, censorship in broadcasting, pet loss, and reincarnation.

Spiritual Mediums Barbara Allin and Karen Jay-Moore have a goal of demystifying mediumship through showing the healing aspects of evidential mediumship and empowering others to get in touch with their intuitive selves. Barbara and Karen have recently been organizing public demonstrations of mediumship online.

What in the world is going on, right? Astrologer Dena DeCastro returns to give us a heads up for the Astrology of Summer 2020! Along with answering the WTF question that seems to be on everyone's mind, Dena gives readings to two listeners in this episode!
