The Axman of New Orleans

This unsolved mystery and Louisiana legend was depicted in American Horror Story, The Coven, as the warped psycho killer who was both charming and dangerous, musically talented and demented. But there is So Much More to his story and this unsolved mystery. Dive into this video with me and let’s get all the facts.

Obstacles & Deception ~ Do we sagotage ourselves?

This is a relaxed reading from my large front porch on a hot summer day. So, what about those obstacles that we come across, were they placed there from a source outside ourselves, something we have no control over? Or did we put those obstacles there ourselves? And deception — is it self-deception, or is someone lying to us? There’s lots to ponder here.

Skinwalker Ranch ~ curses, aliens, skinwalkers, cryptids & crop circles

It was fascinating researching this plot of land in Utah that has become nortorious for the paranormal/supernatural activity experienced there. What happened to the Sherman family? Are the cattle mutilations connected to UFO activity? What is perpetrating the poltergiest activity inside the house? Why is this ranch off limits to the general public?

Spiritualism, the Fox Sisters, & the Feminist

Today our internet and talk-shows are full of mediums ready and willing to connect you with a dead loved one. How did Spiritualism, this movement, get started? Who are the Fox Sisters? How did Spiritualism inspire and promote feminism?

Spirits n’ Stuff

I’m delighted to announce that I have launched a new YouTube channel:

Spirits n’ Stuff

The following videos are just the beginning.  I have several projects planned for this channel, which is going to focus on spiritualism, urban legends, the paranormal and supernatural, cryptids, myths and legends, and the unknown.

Enjoy the following five videos, and you might want to leave the lights on. 

Bloody MaryYou’ve seen it in movies a million times. There’s a group of teen-age girls at a slumber party all standing in a darkened bathroom ahead of a mirror. They egg one girl on… “Do it! Go ahead, do it!” She faces the mirror, and in a frightened trembly voice says, “Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary…” And then mayhem follows. Who is Bloody Mary? 

History and legend gives us three possiblities: Queen Mary I, Mary Worth, and Elizabeth Bathory. Who are these women, and what might give them claim to Bloody Mary fame?

Shadow PeopleYou’ve seen them, that quick flicker of movement from a dark figure lurking in your peripheral vision. When you notice them, they move faster, scurrying to remain hidden. What are they? Where do they come from? Are they real? What did I see?

Black-eyed Children (BEKS)They’re just kids asking for help, you think, until you see their eyes, and you are consumed with a sense of overwhelming dread.

The Ouija BoardSo, how do you feel about ouija boards? Are you afraid of them? Do you love them? Do you use them? Do you think they’re evil, or do you find them an interesting and useful divination tool to use for spirit contact? What’s your take on the Ouija Board?

Soul Walk-insCan “other” souls inhabit a recently deceased body? Can a soul “move into” a body that is already inhabited by the original soul? Could the phenomenon of “walk-ins” explain Multiple Personality Disorder?

Urban Legend ~ Bloody Mary

Ouija Boards ~ So, what’s your take on ouija boards?

So, how do you feel about ouija boards? Are you afraid of them? Do you love them? Do you use them? Do you think they’re evil, or do you find them an interesting and useful divination tool to use for spirit contact? What’s your take on the Ouija Board?

Bump in the Night ~ Soul Walk-ins

The idea of a disembodied soul finding refuge in a recently vacated body is a little spine tingling, because it just is, but there are millions of people, spiritualities, and cultures who have believed for centuries that this is possible and does happen. Let’s take a closer look.

The Mystic Crone ~ Episode #34, Manic Exuberance

A lot of  people mistake lust for love, and a lot of people get so sucked into over-enthusiasm for a brand spankin’ new romantic interest that this enthusiasm becomes manic, and their common sense flies right out the window.  Ya, that happens, and it’s never a good thing…

YouTube ~ The Analytics of it All

This is all about Youtube in general and my channel in particular. I’ve been asked so many times: “Is your banner a real photo, someplace you really were?”, “Is that a sunrise, or a sunset?”, “Where is this at?” Plus, there is some additional info, as well as a little tour around a channel, my channel in particular today, so that you can figure out how to get all kinds of information for yourself, if you are a new YouTube creator, and information on your favorite channels if you’re a YouTube fan.

Mystic Crone Podcast ~ more questions than answers

Audio version, finally complete, and yes, I know I tend to go off-script, but that’s an advantage, new insights usually have come to me by the time I get ready to record. Ah, the beneifts of our sacred muse.
