Dear Stars:

Hopefully you and your guides can point me in the  right direction.

I met a man over the internet. I felt an instant resonance with him and over the next two months and talked almost every night on the phone for hours.  We are so compatible it seems beyond belief. We met in person for three days. We are totally in love in a way I have never felt before. I have two children. My ex husband is not paying child support. Is it in everyone’s highest good for my new love to move in with me and pay rent?

Thank you so much for your help.

Debby

Dear Debby:

Thank you again for contacting me.  This is what the guides state:

We state no, it is not for your highest good to have this individual rent a room at this time.  We suggest you follow through with the court.  The court will enforce child support is correct.  We also suggest that you let the new individual in your life know that you want to continue to know him; but to have him live in the house is not possible at this time due to court proceedings.  After court is completed in your favor, we suggest you consult with the lawyer about the new individual moving in and paying rent (to see how it affects child support). Then clarity will be presented for all concerned and you will feel that choice about living with your new individual is not needed from necessity but from love (higher place).  That is the correct way.

Blessings, Stars

Dear Stars:

I have been searching for an answer in regards to my husband, Stan.  Should I stay with him?  It is not an easy relationship.  Thank you, Flora

Dear Flora:

Thank you again for your connection.  Let’s see how we can be of help.  The guide’s state:

There is a karmic relationship between you and Stan that is now being resolved.  We suggest marital counseling in strong fashion.  You are at a crossroads of many insights but have difficulty in using your insights to change patterns of behavior into resolving.  A therapeutic relationship between a therapist, Stan and yourself would help you travel into past relationships (of abuse) and help you understand that you cannot change Stan but change your responses towards Stan’s demands that appear challenging. What is occurring is that his demands appear unreasonable and your response is to close off what he wants (his type of communication is difficult) so that you become angry.  These situations need clarification with therapeutic help.  You cannot heal this by yourself.  That is the correct way.

Many blessings, Stars

Dear Stars:

My question concerns the value of staying a shorter or longer time overseas. I already have enough money to survive at least 2 yeas.

I’m not concerned about the risk of running out of money. My big concern is that I’ll spend more time here than is necessary and delay doing what I feel I was born to do for the planet which is to write. I know that having much more money in the bank can be useful in helping me on my career path. So the opposite concern is that I will return too soon before the cupboard is as full as I’ll need. If I come home too soon with too few resources, will that serve as a stumbling block to my writing
career?

Kindest Regards, Reginald

Dear Reginald:

It is wonderful for you that you know what your purpose is.  Thank you so much for connecting with me.  This is what the guide’s state:

Reginald is correct to continue staying for at least one year.  He will not come across financial headaches upon returning because of his very pragmatic stance he will assume regarding his living situation.  In other words he is very capable of making wise living and financial choices.  (getting family energy, feels like male feels like brother energy) In that he will have opportunity for business deal upon returning (getting publishing energy) and he will have an opportunity (to meet agent at some time oat writer’s meeting) the way he wants.  So that his endeavors are correct for humanity as he knows and understands internally, more is to become available from Sprit because of his choices.  He is clearly adept at knowing and understanding his vision and pragmatically going about the financing of his vision.  So what we suggest is the optimal energy to (experience is the energy) is to know that his choice of vision is correct, viable and will occur.  That is the correct way.

Blessings, Stars

Hi Rochelle-

I was wondering if you might answer a question or two for me.

My parents are both deceased. Recently, I have been having many vivid dreams about my father. However, in my dreams it seems I seek him out but can never quite make contact with him. It is just a dream, but still frustrating as there was so much unresolved between us. I wonder if there is some message he is trying to convey, and I’m just not able to understand. I never got to know him too well in this life, and just want to feel that connection with him if possible. What can I do to become more receptive? Many changes are evolving in my life right now and I would like to know if there are any spirit energies around me that can give me that support I need right now and that I can connect with.

Thanks for your time, and for any thoughts.

Best regards,

Ron

Dear Ron:

Thank you for sharing and yes, I do think you can make a connection. The guides state:

You are correct to pay attention to your dreams. Your father is coming through and your mother will someday soon as well. You are aware that he has certain regrets (abandonment is the energy) in how he related to you. He now wishes to have reconciliation with you but you must understand and know (we suggest) that you come to terms with a greater understanding: his regrets stem from his being on our side. He was not able to see and understand his withdrawn, detached behavior on your side as problematic. He did not care for you in a proper manner because of his unresolved issue with (alcohol is the energy than father energy coming in which could indicate he had alcoholic father). His own father was quite abusive and obstructed a hones relationship with him (got lying as an energy). Your father therefore, was not able to form a honest relationship with you and continually told you parts of truths rather than the totality of the truth itself. Your father now sees that he obstructed himself from great love. He regrets his decision. He comes through to let you he is healing. He wants to heal his relationship with you.

Blessings, Stars

Dear Stars:

After more than 20 years as a single mom, I now find myself an empty-nester. I am enjoying the “me time” and now that I have more freedom, I am ready for more from life. I feel like there’s so much more that I can offer, but I can’t seem to get myself out of the rut. I want to find both love and job fulfillment, but with each attempt, I hit a brick wall. Do your Guides have any advice on how I can reach my potential in both arenas?

Thank you,

JMH

Dear JMH:

Thank you for coming to us. This is an important question, a situation many woman experience. Here is what the guides say:

You are correct to know and understand that meditation is key here. Your being has disregarded your interests for many years. You are correct to delve into your interests. (Writing is the energy.) You are correct to regain interest in and within novel. Your being does have aptitude for explaining mysteries and solving mysteries. Why not make your interest a vocation rather than hobby? You have ability to be able to become successful in this arena. We suggest you join writing group (a nurturing group) and think of a plan to regain (restart is the energy) your novel. Think also what you want to do can be completed. Your stories can help people understand their relationship with themselves and their families in connection to love and to spirit. You can finish what you set out to accomplish and you can reach success. That is the correct way.

Blessings, Stars

Hello,

I’d like to please ask when will I be in a romantic relationship or renew a love affair with the biracial man I love. I think he is my twin flame (he is a Scorpio) and it is hard to get things off the ground.

Thank you so much, and have a wonderful week! Julie

Dear Julie:

Remember, all relationships start from the inside out. Thank you for trusting us.

Here is what they say:

You are correct to move ahead in discovering what leads you into a pattern of situations that keep you involved with individuals who are not of trust. Now this not of your fault or of your doing, but of the unconscious unresolved issues from child hood which kept mother at a distance due to feeling she was not of trust. (very loud) you had to do so because mother was alcoholic (is the energy) and not able to move into healing for herself because she was not willing to move out of denial regarding her disease. You, however, can now see the issues of trust due to the pattern of relationships in your life, which are not of trust. We suggest to move into a psycho social support group, such as Al Anon. In doing to, you receive healing. It is the focus upon yourself which now must happen (we suggest) for your healing to happen.

Interview with Animal Communicator and Author Karen Anderson

by Annette Munnich

Annette: I know this is a general question Karen, but what kinds of things do you think our pets wish we understood about them?

Karen Anderson: First and foremost that they have needs that may be different than our needs.  We sometimes forget they are animals and have a need for being the dog or cat or horse that they are.  We tend to ‘humanize’ them and don’t give their biological, physical or emotional needs priority. I run into a few clients who make sure they are meeting their animal’s requirements but most of us have a long way to go in this area. As much as we like to think of them as our babies we need to remember that they have animal needs too.  Boredom is the number one source of behavior problems.  Make sure you provide good physical and mental stimulation and you will have a harmonious animal family. Brain challenges such as putting part of your dog’s daily ration of kibble in a treat ball. They have to roll it around to get their food.  If you have indoor cats then you are their entertainment center. Make sure you are providing them with something fun, interesting and different.  Don’t leave the same old stuff out.  Cats get bored in about 5 minutes. Rotate empty boxes, bags with no handles or empty cartons for them and take some away to be reintroduced later.  Be creative, most cats are happy with the lid from the hairspray bottle or a ball made out of foil.

Annette: Besides feeding, petting and playing with our animals what other ways can we use to reassure and express our love?

Karen Anderson: Stop stressing out about your animals!  Stress and worry are negative emotions and send out negative waves to our animals.  Turn that negative wave into a positive by shifting your perspective.  I challenge you to stop right now and think of what you are stressing about over an animal. Perhaps an illness, a behavior problem or even if you are leaving town.  Stress and worry can make matters worse.  Think of that song, “Don’t worry, be happy!”.  It’s corny but it’s so true when it comes to our animals.

Annette: I never thought of it that way. I think that is very important to realize how stress and worry in and of itself can be a problem in the relationship with our animals… Is it true that our pets will over time reflect the same types of personality traits as their owners?

Karen Anderson: In some cases yes I think so.  Here is a good rule of thumb.  If you are happy, healthy, balanced and feeling good about yourself, your animals will too.  If you are sad, depressed, angry, unhealthy and feeling bad about yourself…your animals will too.  They are our barometers reflecting back what we put out into the world.

Annette: What is the best way for people to introduce a new animal into the home… especially if there are other pets already?

Karen Anderson: Go slowly.  Most introductions are done way too fast.  Animals are scent oriented and allowing them to smell each other before they actually see each other is the best way to start.  Kittens meeting other kittens or puppies meeting other puppies are usually the exception to this rule.  Remember animals think with animal minds.  Territory, space, food, water, toys, are all claimed by the resident animals.  I use baby gates to separate them too.  Let them smell first then let them see each other with a barrier up so no one can touch the other.  Try to think positive about how you would like them to respect each others space.  When the time is right, after observing their behavior, then they can have monitored ‘visits’.  Take your time and go slowly. The slower the better in most cases.

Annette: Really good to know! Do our animals stay connected to us after they pass on? What generally happens and how do they feel about us if we had to put them to sleep?

Karen Anderson: Absolutely yes our animals stay connected to us.  Even though their physical body may die their soul or energy lives on.  I call it transitioning because it really isn’t dying.  Some animals tell me they feel more alive now than when they were in their bodies.  As for their feelings of being euthanized, this is case by case.  But most of the time the animals are ready to leave their body especially if it is failing them.   They see death and dying as a natural stage in their journey and usually don’t make a big deal about it.  They usually only get upset when their human gets upset.  It does not change their love for us nor do they hold a grudge. Animals are quite forgiving even in the worst cases of abuse or neglect.  We have a lot to learn from them.

Annette: I had to put two of my dogs to sleep and am still traumatized by it. Your answer gave me some comfort. Can anyone develop the ability to communicate with animals?

Karen Anderson: I do believe we all have the ability to learn to to communicate with animals.  However I do believe that some people are just not open to the process so they would not have much success. But if you believe it can happen, are open to the process and love animals then it’s a snap.  Once you learn the steps it’s like any other new skill.  The more you practice the better you get.

Annette: Are you able to receive messages from wild animals and also smaller creatures such as fish or even insects?

Karen Anderson: All animals communicate with me through the same transmission of messages.  Wild animals are no exception.  I think of ‘Christian the lion’ and his love for his two humans.  Even years after returning Christian to the wild he still remembered them and showered them with affection.  All animals are capable of sending messages.  Fish and other aquatic creatures are very interesting to communicate with.  Understanding their world from their perspective has been so rewarding.  I generally don’t communicate with insects much but it is possible.  All living creatures have a soul and it’s the soul I connect with.

Annette: Please tell us a little bit about your book Hear All Creatures and what gave you the idea to write it?

Karen Anderson: My book is an inside look into the hearts and minds of the animals.  I share my first moments communicating with animals and how I learned to understand their messages.  Sometimes they will send me an image or picture of something and it’s up to me to figure it out.  I also included some of my favorite sessions with the animals.  Their incredible and sometimes heart wrenching messages still humble and amaze me. The idea to write a book came to me as I was touring the United States attending psychic fairs and expos. At each show I would speak before and audience and share some of my most recent sessions.  The audiences could not get enough of my stories and would beg for more.  Once I sat down to write it practically wrote itself.  The stories of the animals in the Afterlife seem to be the most popular.  So my next book will highlight some of my favorite sessions from the Other Side.

Annette: What was it like growing up being able to talk to animals and know what they thought and felt?

Karen Anderson: I thought everyone could understand the animals. It wasn’t until I was about 7 or 8 years old that my parents started to discourage me from ‘talking to the dog’. They didn’t quite know what to do with me and figured I had an overactive imagination.  Since I loved animals so much it was very easy to tap into their energy.  I think children are very open to these types of abilities as they don’t know they can’t.  I loved every minute of it and still remember some of the silly conversations I had with them.

Annette: Nice. Have you ever come across an evil animal? Do you believe in people or animals being evil?

Karen Anderson: I have met some very fearful and some extremely aggressive animals but not an evil one.  That is more for the humans in this world.  Animals will generally act out for some kind of instinctual purpose.  They live in the moment and are usually very happy as long as all their needs are met.  If an animal is fearful it is usually because it’s humans are living in the past and keep replaying past events in their minds.  Be in the moment with your animals. They are in a good home with lots of love, food, water and exercise.  Don’t live in the past.  It will help your animals move through their fears.

Annette: Thanks Karen for your very helpful insights.  I am eager to incorporate what I learned today in to our daily life with our ‘fur people’ 

Karen has teleclasses and CD’s to help you learn to communicate with animals.  Signed copies of her book are also available. Karen Anderson does private sessions by phone as well.  Find out more about Karen Anderson by visiting her website.

The Cranberry and Garlic Cure

The Cranberry and Garlic Cure

The Cranberry and Garlic Cure is a small “miracle” I discovered in 2008. I was very sick with a particularly nasty virus that caused flu symptoms plus a total loss of my voice for two solid weeks. I could make no sound whatsoever… After one month had passed my voice was still not back to normal and I could feel the pressure of congestion in my head and chest. I went to the doctor twice over the course of this illness and was prescribed antibiotics. This was the sickest I could remember being for many years. I was better but not well…

Anti-Sticking Agent

I began to poke around on the internet and found some information on cranberries. The reason they are well known for curing bladder, kidney, and urinary problems is threefold. The first is that they are a natural antibiotic. Secondly, they deliver a great dose of vitamin C. Last, but definitely not least, Cranberries are a natural astringent and have anti-sticking properties…   The cranberry will make it possible for a person to kill the bacteria in these areas and pass it out.

Would This Work Throughout The Body…

So the question was… would this work throughout the body? Could the anti-sticking agent in the cranberry get rid of the congestion in my head and chest plus get the coating off my vocal chords? Off to Walgreens for a 5 dollar experiment that certainly could not hurt me. The first night I literally did not sleep due to the excessive drainage that was coming from my sinuses. It had been there so long it made my stomach sick. I also coughed up bad colored mucus from my lungs. The second day was better but more of the same. It took 3 days to clear it all.  Then I was well again.

Garlic?

Garlic is a powerful antibiotic and beneficial to the blood.  In fact, garlic is so powerful that it was used on spoiled meat in medieval times to prevent illness. This is called being anti-putrificant… and I knew that what was in my sinuses was putrid. I could smell it. Enough said. Garlic had also been used to treat plague. I was sold!

This is exactly what I did…

I used odorless garlic in a pill form and cranberry capsules sold as extra strength. My advice is to take one of each after dinner and hopefully the drainage will be slowing down in time for bed. Do not take in the morning unless you have no work or school that day. These are food supplements without dangerous side effects but still I take them by themselves and not with a handful of medications. I’d wait an hour before taking anything else but that’s just me… I am not a doctor and am not responsible if someone takes some cranberries and grows warts on their feet or turns purple or something. The capsules will deliver much more garlic and cranberry than you would want to eat or drink.

Prevention

I take cranberry caps 3 times a week to keep my immune system strong. If someone in my family feels like they are getting sick I give them a cranberry and a garlic right away. I have nipped many things in the bud by doing this. A few months back I had flu symptoms and a light fever but the next day I was fine. This cure costs under 20 Dollars and will save a small fortune in medicines and lost wages. If you have trouble with kidney, urinary tract or bladder infections take 3 caps a week and never get one again. Interesting note:  Cranberries are sometimes given to nursing home patients to take the odor out of their urine.

Applications

I have found relief with this cure from the following ailments:

• colds
• flu
• other viruses
• sinus
• chest congestion
• kidney, urinary tract and bladder infections
• sore throat

Dear Stars:

I am a registered nurse.  I work on a Native American reservation.  I have worked on several reservations employed by the federal government.  There is a lot of prejudice and racism toward me.

I am thinking of a move to the east coast to be closer to my family.  My family wants me closer.  I live alone with no support system.  I work, sleep, rescue animals, eat and then repeat the same schedule again.  With the economy the way it is, I am not sure about moving across the United States.  Namaste,  Susan

Dear Susan:

Thank you for your connection.  Remember, it is the energy inside of us which creates the outside of us.  Here is what the guides state:

You are correct to move.  In your profession, there is scarcity.  We see a position for you in the new area of North Carolina filled quickly.  We also suggest another item.  You may want to consider teaching nursing.  There too we see three opportunities.  Your being is smart and understands the necessity of reaching out to people who feel down trodden.  Do not be concerned here regarding racism.  It will soon change.  Be matter of fact.  Yes, you understand the truth of victimization.  Then move forward.  Acknowledge and move past the distrust.  In that way, you learn that you are not to blame.  That is the correct way.

Blessings, Stars

Dear Stars:

For the past year, I have been experiencing paranormal events.  Perhaps these events are psychic or spiritual events.  These experiences have not been positive ones,. They have been abusive physically.    I have sought out help from a diverse range of professional to no avail.

I want to figure out what I should be doing with my life.  I really don’t need or want these “other” experiences.  It has definitely been difficult for me.  Perhaps you can explain it to me.  Thank you in advance.  Patricia

Dear Patricia:

Thank you sharing your experiences.  Let’s see what they mean:

You are correct in your concern.  Why not make boundaries with entities which are not in your best behalf?  Ask the guides you trust.  When you do, make certain you follow their advice (you will get vision).  The advice is what you tend to dismiss.  No therapist can help you trust your guidance.   You must do the work to gain trust in your guidance.  Do not dismiss the goodness of your guides.  Your tendency is to dismiss your guidance.  That is why the writing has stopped and been delayed.  Yes, of course, you are a writer.  Begin to follow your guidance and write again is the correct way.

Blessings, Stars

Dear Stars:

At 6:00 a.m. on Sunday morning I opened my eyes and to the right of my bed I saw a most beautiful vision in almost golden light.Ü It was a woman in a bright orange dress and she was bending toward me.Ü We seemed almost frozen in time and talking telepathy like yet, I did not receive a message.Ü She was smiling and I knew her identity.Ü Then she disappeared.Ü

I never actually met her but knew who she was—a friend of my daughter in law’s family. Even remembered her name.Ü Several years ago she stopped in with my son and daughter to pick up my grandchild and ride back to Ohio.Ü I saw and talked with her no longer than 15 minutes.
Ü
If this is similar to biblical visions, praise God.Ü She has made her transformation.Ü Is this a message for me, please can you give me any guidance.Ü I am forever thankful for this experience.Ü Thanks, Carol

Dear Carol:

Thank you so much for sharing your vision.  It can be multiple meanings, let’s find out:

You are correct to know it was both a message and a confirmation of her passing.  Your being was being told through the vision you an ability to see the people who have passed (such as a physical medium).  Because of your ability, you will have more visions.  We suggest you will receive much confirmation of you ability shortly.  We also suggest, if you desire, you can communicate directly with those who have passed.  The messages you receive will be helpful and the messages you give to those who have passed on will help them as well on this side.  Your being is very direct in transmission.  We honor your ability.

Dr. William Lester

The Vampire: Tool of the Demonic Underworld

by Dr. William Lester

In the world of paranormal research, there are several recognized types of spirit beings. By spirit I mean of course a non-physical entity that can be perceived or detected in our realm. The human spirit is just that– the consciousness of a person no longer occupying the physical body. They are people. Because consciousness exists outside of time, a human spirit can linger in a location for 10, 20, 50, 100, or even 1,000 years– for them time has no meaning.

There a nature spirits– sometimes referred to as elementals. We often see these discussed in the lore of many cultures– spirits of fire, water, air, stone, wood and so on. These are entities of the Earth and rarely concern themselves with the affairs of men. Question: Could this change with our many growing environmental concerns?

Occassionally one encounters the darker, negative spirits. These are sinister, malicious beings that lurk in the blackness, seeking the ruin of all creation. Even among these bestial entities, there are classifications. Some types are drawn to locations or situations of atrocities, desecreation, violence, depravity– any circumstance in which humans are vulnerable and open to attack. When possible, such evil spirits will seek to sieze or possess a person, thereby manifesting its true evil nature for all to see.

The vampire is a comparatively rare manifestation of this demonic reality. This particular kind of entity, twisted and foul, seeks possession of the dead, not the living. In this, we see a deeper, more powerful demonstration of diabolical power. The spirit animates the corpse– sickingly approximating the characteristics of life. Thus the term nosferatu, or undead. The body, no longer operating under natural biological processes, is now fueled by preternatural energies and manifests great strength, agility and psychic powers. Thus, the vampire is immune to normal modes of injury. These same hellish engergies, operating beyond the confines of time, allow the body to transcend the passage of time. Thus the vampire will not age (as in life) or decompose (as in death).

The consumption of blood, the essence of life, allows the malevolent spirit mastery over the lifeless body. The demon views this as mastery over man, its sworn adversary.

Through all this though, the creature is not invulnerable. It shuns the natural light of the sun, which radiates at a frequency that disrupts the demon’s ability to maintain possession of the body. Similarly, the vampire is repelled by relics of faith. The power rests not in the objects themselves, mind you, but in the person wielding it. Such items work as amplifiers through which positive spiritual energy is conducted. Like the ultraviolet rays of the sun, this energy nullifies the negative energy field of the negative entity.

Because the vampire has been so richly glamorized in literature and film, the reality of such a being is difficult to contemplate. This in itself is a powerful weapon in the arsenal of the preternatural realm. It exists unchallenged, in part through society’s disbelief. Moreover, the movement of paranormal research into mainstream pop culture has done little to mitigate this. There are more self-styled experts today than at any point in history. Few of these curiosity seekers are interested in long-term, in-depth research into the subject of vampirism. I can’t tell you how many times I have listened to a “researcher” explain their “take” on various paranormal manifestations. By “take” I mean how they have attempted to slot these things into whatever belief system they have. Remember this: Reality is not contingent on belief, but on awareness. Always, always be aware.

***ADDENDUM***
I have been asked to offer some commentary of the vampire societies that exist today.  These groups have little to do with the paranormal and do little more than offer refuge to attention-seeker, chronic introverts and social outcasts.

It is predictable that such individuals would gravitate toward a lifestyle offering the facade of power, immortality and the opportunity for sexual exploits.

Some of the participants have gone so far as to sleep in coffins and have porcelain fangs implanted.  Vampire “pop” culture was invigorated by fims like The Lost Boys and Interview With A Vampire, the latter being a rather lackluster film adaptation of the Anne Rice novel.

On the whole, these activites might be viewed as “alternative” but harmless.  There is however, the potential for this lifestyle to cross over into dangerous territory.  The practicing of rituals and conjuring spirits can open the door to demonic attack. Oppression and infestation of these dark entities is a very real risk run by those who tamper with preternatural forces.

Dr. Lester’s My Space

Pat Fitzhugh

An Interview Bell Witch Author Pat Fitzhugh

by Annette Munnich

It’s my pleasure to come to know author and historian, Pat Fitzhugh, whose mother is related to the John Bell family by marriage.  Pat has researched the Bell Witch story extensively over the last three decades. He is an expert on the famous Bell Witch haunting that began in 1817 in Tennessee and is now one of the most well known paranormal stories in the US.

The haunting centered around the John Bell family and it’s story was the basis for the movie “An American Haunting” starring Donald Sutherland and Sissy Spacek made in 2005. To this date it is the the account of the only death ever to be caused by a ghost.

Annette: Thanks for making some time for me Pat. I have been looking forward to this interview. First question… how did you first get involved with the Bell Witch Story?

Pat: My mother read me the story when I was very young.  What intrigued me the most was the fact that it involves real people and real places,
and that there is a family relation, through marriage, several
generations back.  My mother also was from the area where the legend
took place.

Annette: Can you give us a little background on the Bell Witch? When did
it begin and why do you think the story persists to this day?

Pat: The Bell Witch was an entity that terrorized the Red River community
of Robertson County, Tennessee, especially the home and family of
John Bell, from 1817-1821 and for a brief time in 1828.  The entity
acted like a poltergeist in the beginning, but over time it developed
intelligence and the ability to speak clearly.  It also possessed the
ability to read minds, as well as predict the future.  The entity
said that it’s main intention was to kill John Bell.  It was also
averse to Betsy Bell’s (John Bell’s youngest daughter) engagement to
a boy who lived nearby.  After killing John Bell, the entity broke up
the engagement.

Annette: You researched Bell Witch for over 20 years. How did you become so fascinated with this paranormal tale?

Pat: This is my 31st year researching the legend, and my level of
fascination with it, as well as my determination to find and share
even more information, grows stronger each day.  Every answer that I
find yields more questions.

Annette: How close are the movies Bell Witch Haunting and An American
Haunting to telling the whole truth about what actually transpired?
Are they just sensationalized stories or based closely to the truth?

Pat: Both movies have good “scare value.”  However, as an author and
historian, my primary interest is historical accuracy.  I feel that
“The Bell Witch Haunting” follows the story more closely than “An
American Haunting” does.

Annette: Do you have a theory as to why the Bell Witch haunting began and what it’s purpose was if any?

Pat: Balance and flexibility are the most important traits that a
researcher can possess.  An absence of the former leads to bias; an
absence of the latter leads to nearsightedness and carelessness;
either will compromise the integrity of the research being performed
– and of the person performing the research.

That having been said, I have many different ‘possible’ theories
about the Bell Witch.  Some of them are paranormal, and some are not.
My “current theory,” as well as my opinion of the legend, changes
from time to time, depending on where my research takes me.  The only
constant to the legend is that the entity was very real, and very
frightening, to those who experienced it first hand.

Annette: Your book is more than 400 pages.  How long did it take to write it and what can people expect to discover through reading it?

Pat: The actual writing of the book took about two years, although it represents 22 years of research (at that time).  The book contains historical footnotes, endnotes, appendices with explanations of key
terms and concepts, and even an index.  It contains all three versions of the legend (North Carolina, Tennessee, and Mississippi), and covers from 1817 until 1999.

It was the first book to tell the world about John Bell’s
excommunication from the church, and the first book to fully debunk,
through historical data, the myth that states Kate Batts was behind
the disturbances.  It was the first book to cover all three states’
versions of the legend.  It also shares many other key pieces of
information, including my theory at that time, for the very first
time.

Annette: Are there places to visit for people curious about the Bell Witch?

Pat: Most of the area where the legend happened is now on private
property, and the local residents are extremely vigilant with
trespassers.  The best place to get “near” the Bell Witch is the
Adams Museum and Archives Building in Adams, TN.  They have the last
surviving structure from the John Bell plantation, which is an
1810-era log cabin that was used as slave’s quarters.  Bellwood
Cemetery, nearby, is open to the public during the day and contains
the graves of many Bell family descendants.  There also is a cave
nearby.

Annette: Thanks so much for letting me interview you about the fascinating Bell Witch story. It’s been a real pleasure.

Dear Stars:

My name is Shawn.  I am an Indian of the Navajo People. I am in and out of prison.  I am going to be released.  I had a relationship with a beautiful woman and have a son.  Since I have been in prison, she met someone else.  I have worked with medicine men in my culture and I am trying to realize my spiritual connections through my people.  I want to repair the damage I have done. Will she reconnect with me because I am trying to heal my life?

Dear Shawn:

Thank you so much for your courage to turn your life around.  I appreciate your connection to your heritage and the guidance your ancestors will present you.  Here is what the guides state:

You are correct to move forward in claiming your shamanic gifts.  You understand correct?  You are an alcohol counselor. We share this with you, because it is already apparent to you.  Now, because you have been guided into a healing practice, your being can be rest assured, more healing will come within all of your relationships.  We see a relationship with son developing over time.  Continue to locate and have respectful, formal contact with your former (significant other is the energy).  In doing so there is healing for all.  That is the correct way.

Blessings, Stars

Dear Stars:

I have one question for you guides.† My†astrologer in Sedona informed me that I am about to go through a† nodal return which usually means big changes.† Some of these changes†may be hard.† Can your guides give me any warnings or advice on dealing with the upcoming big changes that I also sense are about to† occur in my life.† Many thanks, Sandra

Dear Sandra:

Thank you for connecting with us.  Here is your guidance.

You are correct in moving (physical move) and determining the correct way for you to go.† You are going west, that is the correct way.† There will be career change (3 years in coming) in which you begin to utilize psychic abilities and develop business (got astrologer energy, intuition and tarot cards).  Through your spiritual guidance, you have been informed that you are4 going to face (feels like a disaster) in recognizing you cannot move forward without career meaning.† In other words you will have to explore other options (feels like writing) that give you and manifest the opportunities you want for “meaning” in work.† You will settle into a situation whereby you will not want to settle for meaningless relationship but meaning in relationship, so there may be problems (crisis) that begins to develop in your relationship whereby a new structure of relating is formulated.† Again all of these changes are for the positive, so that the change you are expecting, although unsettling will be for your greater good.

Blessings, Stars

Dear Stars:†

At 6:00 a.m. on Sunday morning I opened my eyes and to the right of my bed I saw a most beautiful vision in almost golden light.† It was a woman in a bright orange dress and she was bending toward me.† We seemed almost frozen in time and talking telepathy like yet, I did not receive a message.† She was smiling and I knew her identity.† Then she disappeared.
†
I never actually met her but knew who she was a friend of my daughter in law’s family. I even remembered her name.† Several years ago she stopped in with my son and daughter to pick up my grandchild and ride back to Ohio.† I saw and talked with her no longer than 15 minutes.
†
If this is similar to biblical visions, praise God, she has made her transformation.† Is this a message for me, please can you give me any guidance.† I am forever thankful for this experience.† God Bless.† Thank you, Kathy

Dear Kathy:

It sounds like you have been given a gift.  Thank you for sharing it with us.  My guide’s state:

You are correct to know and understand she has made her transition to us.  She flew to you to help you move into greater gift of your understanding that you too can fly across the veil to connect with and receive messages from those who have passed.  You are correct to know that you have psychic abilities and now is the time to listen to what is being said to you through your guidance.  Pay attention to brief sentences that are now being given to you by your guidance.  Yes, this means in your healing capacity to help others as well.  Move forward in utilizing what you know. You will succeed in radio and television if you so choose to pursue your ability and its development.

Blessings, Stars
