My wife, Lillian Gonzalez, dives deep into her struggle with mental illness and where the lines of mental illness and the paranormal intersect. As a first year college student Lillian developed bipolar disorder, and began to experience symptoms that were characteristic of both mental illness and the supernatural. As her mental health deteriorated, things such as hearing voices, seeing demonic visions, and even an encounter with the devil became the new normal. After looking at her situation from a purely medical perspective, she started to examine the spiritual side of things as well. Through community, prayer, and spiritual revelation Lillian felt herself freed from the darkness that had taken over her mind. While she still lives with bipolar disorder today, she believes her spiritual healing has infinitely changed her life for the better.
Rachel Anne Rainwater, a former Rockford native turned California transplant, takes us on her life long journey with the unexplained and paranormal. As a teen she would hear mysterious foot steps and rope swinging in the barn she painted in. Later on she would see dark shadow figures running through her house. As a musician on the road, Rachel and her family unknowingly stayed in the famous haunted Berkley Oceanfront Hotel in Ashbury Park, NJ, where she would encounter rattling door knobs, drawers that opened on their own, and a ghostly party on the floor above them. In Rachel's adult life she underwent spinal fusion surgery, after which she developed sleep paralysis where she would wake up trapped in her own body. Finally Rachel was in a life altering car crash in which she believes she died and woke up on the other side in a place between here and heaven and was given a second chance. As an NDE survivor, her view on life is to be alive every moment you're given, be grateful for your life, and love the people around you.
