09/03/16 - Elite Paranormal Ain't Afraid of no ghosts...

“Ghosts don't haunt us. That's not how it works. They're present among us because we won't let go of them."

"I don't believe in ghosts," I said, faintly.

"Some people can't see the color red. That doesn't mean it isn't there," she replied.”

Headlines 

• Could have been written by Homer Simpson/Doh! - "Vast Doughnut-shaped reef found in Australia" ABC.net - right behind the big one. Great Barrier Reef has a companion. 

• Gene Wilder died (June 11, 1933 – August 29, 2016) (Obit/The Guardian) and the song tributes rolled. Best of (my vote) was a truly inspired drum and bugle performance. AMC paid tribute by showing Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and other Wilder classics in theaters across the country. - Magical.

This colorful burger tribute advertises a special prize for the one who finds a golden ticket inside. HuffPo

• Scientists picked up a sound from deep space and UFO enthusiasts cheered ... especially when it was suggested that type of signal had to be from a 'Kardashev' type civilization (thought to be way more intelligent than humans) and then the bubble burst. CNN reported that the source was likely a "terrestrial disturbance" - a similar ray of hope had been dashed decades ago with the discovery a Soviet military satellite had caused a signal anomaly... 

Whatever... WE know they're out there and already here and playing a good game of: "Now (some of ) you see me..." 

•  Lightening x3 - Norway CNN - a strike reportedly killed more than 300 reindeer. Soon after that report, a bolt in 2/Texas Independent/UK - killed 19 cows as they sheltered under a tree. 

• Prior to that was 3/a story of a guy who was standing in his kitchen when he was hit (and not the first time, seems he attracted another strike when he was on a roof.) by lightning. He said he was cutting a slice of turkey for his cat Emma. Credits the fact he didn't get hurt to a pair of slippers he had intended to toss out. Plans to save them now. If you want a pair: Marks and Spencer. Independent/UK
• Science validating what all dog people know: Dogs understand us. They know when we are not serious and when we are. Never tease about treats... Daily Mail

Interview - Tis the season for Ghost Tours and since local sites fill up fast, I booked Rob Garcia of Elite Paranormal to get a head start for the Kansas City curious. I have been on a few sites with Rob and the group to explore and investigate suspected paranormal activity. More about Rob in the LA Times

Rob remembers a site in a KC suburb - now in private ownership - that once was the home of an Antique shop and remains quite active. Visitors and shop workers reported seeing a little boy in the store. Children were more likely to see him.

We also talked about the Sigma Nu Fraternity house at KU in Lawrence, KS. and some of what happened during investigations there. A recap from Lawrence Journal World. Listen to samples of the EVP content on YouTube.

And a word of caution to all antique collectors. Sometimes, you can bring unwanted guest/s along with your new treasure. If and when that happens, here's Rob's info. 

Book for a ghost tour at WornallMajorsorg.

Adding more grist to the mill. Substantiated, quantifiable, authenticated data: The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man. Be warned, the truth is painful. Forget Conspiracy theories. What unfolds in John Perkins' account is an up close and personal experience of corporate mis-dealings, deceptive practices, corruption and unbridled greed. A perspective from one who has "been there, done that".

This isn't a doom and gloom prophecy - The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man "reveals how the system works today and what you and I -- all of us -- can do to change it."

New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man offers credible information to help us understand the basis for actions that triggered subsequent economic and societal unrest on the current world scene. And - if one so desires - one can challenge the current leaders to change course, mitigate the losses and chart a course in dreaming a planet-friendly upgrade.

I also blog at Animalnsight. Sharing this post because, no matter how many times I have seen it in the years since I first posted, I am captivated by the storytelling and the connection Irina has with her dogs. Mesmerizing. Bonus: She attributes her special relationship to an Angelic assist.

Prepare to be amazed by some magical performers.

If you have never seen this award winning film short, it's a gem. Irina Markova is an extraordinary animal communicator. Emotionally charged, the film draws you into her world for a very brief moment and leaves a lasting impression. Unforgettable, her character.

Description:  Multi festival favorite, The Poodle Trainer received a special Jury award from AFI/Silverdocs, "for a film that packs humor and tragedy into a subtle and perfectly paced 7 minutes." --

Known as the Russian Dog Whisperer, Irina credits angels for helping her do her work. And there is no doubt, she is incredibly gifted. The dogs mirror her and follow her every move, alert for a cue to the next pose.

Watching the interactions of her canine crew and hearing her describe the feelings she has for them and for her work, indeed, the element of a higher source is present.

Animal Communicators are challenged to find words for the deeds they do. It may well be that there simply are no words. The explanation is in the result. Irina speaks the language of the heart. Sincere, authentic, genuine, humble and very much worth knowing.
