Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview

With UFOs grabbing headline attention, I pulled a favorite guest from my interview archives.

I like speaking with Ardy Sixkiller Clarke. She's a great storyteller and her catalogue of UFO stories, gleaned over the past few decades, includes a wide variety of experiences running the entire spectrum of positive and encouraging to negative and frightening.

Common thread: Native Americans. She says most have never spoken to anyone about their experience. Ardy has unique access to her subjects that few could manage and their stories offer a much broader insight into the UFO phenomenon. Wendy's Coffeehouse Link.

At last count, Ardy had logged over 4 thousand UFO related paranormal stories from Native Americans. In this interview, the topic was her book, More Encounters with Star People: Urban American Indians Tells Their Stories. Amazon.

At the end of our final segment, Ardy mentions the story of "The Watcher". We were out of time. It's a good one. Quick overview from Chapter 14. Page 111.

Jim Gray Dog says the Greys he encountered are not to be trusted. He tells Ardy, "Never go into the desert alone." He adds to that, telling her to also avoid leaving or wandering away from the campsite.

Jim says the Greys take people. His information comes from ongoing observation at a location he monitors. The disturbing piece he includes is that some who are taken don't return. (Note: info might be of interest to David Paulides Missing 411.) He says during a personal encounter as a teenager he witnessed that the Greys have the ability to shapeshift and take any form. He is not a fan.

What makes it hard to dismiss all Greys as dangerous or negative is the fact they have also been credited with healings and, by our standards, miracles. Ardy covers that in Space Age Indians: Their Encounters with the Blue Men, Reptilians, and Other Star People. Amazon. Healings are in Section 3. Other Star People. Page 199. 

Space Age Indians - Amazon Reviews - 229 ratings, mostly 5 stars. 

Sample: "Another great read by Dr. Ardy Sixkiller Clarke. The moment I started reading I knew I wouldn’t be able to put this book down. I love her style of writing its as though I’m there talking with these people. The stories these people tell are amazing and most of the stories are positive, which is unique compared to most Ufo books that focus on fear. I also feel that these books are extremely important as they are telling the story of our history and of visitors that are still here today. I can’t wait for her next book. I really didn’t want this book to end."

Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview with Psychic Medium Mary Ann Podrasky

Mary Ann and Civil War soldier

Thank you to Psychic Medium Mary Ann Podrasky for giving me permission to share some of her images.

She has a definite knack for getting the ghosts to show up in her photos.

We didn't get into some of the tech she uses, so we'll include that in another interview for Empower Radio. And we saved the ET talk for later too. (March 4.)

In this photo, Mary Ann stands in front of a mirror and captures a full body image behind her in the empty hallway. Mirrors offer the opportunity to see a larger viewing area in addition to your own refection and possibly capture an image you could easily miss when focused on a specific location.

Ghosts are often seen in peripheral view. Photographs help pick up images that appear beyond your line of sight.

In regard to the location for this photo and who it might be, she says the image is a Civil War soldier.

Mary Ann has seen ghosts (and other stuff) since childhood but kept her abilities low key until recent years, doing more public events and client sessions. Not frightening or scary, ghosts are everywhere. She is curious and respectful when she enters a haunted space.

A favorite haunted place to visit is The Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Requirements for a hotel stay? Must have a reputation for ghosts.

I asked her how she could get any sleep in a haunted hotel. Referring to an experience at a hotel in Taos, New Mexico, only - during the morning after - did I realize the arm draped over me during the night did not belong to my husband. Too hairy and he was sleeping in a different position.

The ghost is walking at the center of the stair rail and
not easy to spot in this smaller image.
 But the shadow is there. And the other ghost
is on the right, walking across the front of the scene.
Note the attire. Red belt. 

That ghost also scared the dog when she was alone in the room while we ate breakfast.

When Mary Ann admitted she is sleep deprived during her visits, I got it.

Makes perfect sense. After all, she's there for the adventure.

This link is to the News Press article related to the information Mary Ann got about her health. She followed up and discovered there were some issues that needed immediate attention.

Spirit communication is a natural part of intuition and when one is open and receptive there are other bits of useful information available. When you are ready to learn more, find someone who has been working with this for a few decades. They have done a lot of learning along the way and might be able to help reduce some of the obstacles that happen when becoming familiar with how your own abilities operate.
