Stirring the Cauldron

For this episode, I went back into the vault and dug out a live Christmas Eve show I did way back in 2015 featuring an hour of Christmas music from Medieval Times to the present and not your usual Jingle Bells and Silent Night variety. Maybe a few of the songs might sound familiar, and some of them won't but It was a great way to get into the Christmas spirit that Christmas Eve back then, and an even better way to usher in the Yuletide in 2019.

In any one given day our brains process more than 70,000 thoughts. Thoughts that lead to actions. But what if something could interfere with this process, lets for example consider for a moment that there are things out there, beyond our capabilities of unaided sight and hearing that did and continue to have an influence on our thoughts. In those moments, thoughts that could destroy hundreds of lives or an individual in the blink of an eye. What if those were the whispers of something not belonging to us, but rather inspiring us to carry out their desires whilst camouflaging them as our own. Barry Fitzgerald and Trisha Ryan explore this very enigma and blow apart Pandora's box exposing information and facts that indicate that this may be the very case. It's a challenging read which sheds light onto a subject which has long been hidden and has continued to resist the microscope of scrutiny.

Everybody loves a good scare at Halloween, but visitors to most “haunted houses” know the most frightening things are just actors in monster makeup and spooky special effects. Deep down, we all know that the ghostly inhabitants are fake except at Asylum 49. This unassuming former medical facility outside Salt Lake City stands next to a graveyard and is home to a full-contact Halloween haunt with a difference: the ghosts are all too real, and they are very willing to interact with the living. Hundreds of staff members, customers, and ghost hunters have encountered them firsthand over the years. Listen in as paranormal investigator Richard Estep and Asylum 49 owner Cami Andersen give us a behind-the-scenes insider tour of one of the world’s most haunted hospitals. Meet the ghostly children who like to tease unsuspecting visitors and the angry ER doctor who insists on things being done his way...or else.

There are three harvest festivals on the Pagan Wheel of The Year, Lughnassadh (also called Lamas), Mabon and Samhain and then there is our American harvest festival of Thanksgiving. Because it is close to impossible to book a live guest on for show on Thanksgiving night both because of the dinner itself and also trying to compete with the football games, I thought it might make an interesting show to talk about ALL the harvest festivals one by one and there is no better time to learn about each one than Thanksgiving Day. And in addition to the talk, I've included songs by different Pagan singers/songwriters who have some really nice songs for each of the Sabbats.

Eric Charles is not only a psychic medium, but a singer/songwriter as well, and at the time of this broadcast he was also the host of a show on the Para X Radio Network called The Haunted Buffalo.

David Oman is the owner of a house way up in the Hollywood Hills that is sometimes referred to Disneyland for the Dead or The Mount Everest of Haunted Houses. It’s about 200 feet where the horrific Manson Murders took place back in 1969, and it seems that some of those victims, as well as other spirits who hang around in the Benedict Canyon neighborhood find David’s house a great place to come by for a visit. The subheading of the book is: The Afterlife of Sharon Tate and the Spirits of the Oman house. So many famous people lived in that area over the years, and it’s a beautiful area, both up in the hills and down in the canyon. Tune in and hear about the house, it's history and all the colorful spirits that pop in all the time.

If you think you're going to die, then you're in for a big surprise. This book will not only challenge your assumptions, it will give you the proof that you never thought existed. Not only are there substantial scientific studies indicating that our consciousness survives death, but those on the other side have come back time and time again with evidential messages for their loved ones. Josie Varga has assembled an incomparable collection of what she terms visits from heaven from around the globe and backed up by testimony from some of the world s leading experts on afterlife communication: This groundbreaking book will lead you to question your own mortality with the realization that we are all eternal energy beings, and energy can neither be created nor destroyed. When you reach the end of this book, you will find that the most prudent explanation is that there is nothing final about death. You always were, and you always will be.
