Odd lots, Old Bones, Mystery Hum and Callahan's Crosstime Saloon

“Some guys step on a rake in the dark, and get mad and go punch somebody. Others step on a rake in the dark and fall down laughing at themselves. I know which kind of guy I'd rather be. So do my friends.” - Callahan's Crosstime Saloon, Spider Robinson, Amazon

About that weird hum thing ... like the Taos Hum. Albuquerque Journal. Is it connected to the high frequency ringing sound? The Thunderbolts Project explores potential causes. What is electromagnetism?

Bookmarked (because I have NO time to read at the moment and want to remember) simply on the basis of the reviews. I imagine reviewers to be those who would enjoy throwing darts and swapping stories with Time Travelers, Aliens and Telekinetic Brothers.

Given the folks I interview that is not as unlikely as it sounds. Ardy Sixkiller Clarke talks about Tom and his ability to travel through portals. Wendy's Coffeehouse 9/24/16

Callahan's Crosstime Saloon by Spider Robinson, a Forry Award winner.

I interviewed Paul Davids about The Life After Death Project (Wendy's Coffeehouse 7/16/16) and An Atheist in Heaven, his story about afterlife communications with
Interview #2 with Paul Davids
 on Conscious Living
Forrest J. Ackerman.

Rani offers this review of Callahan's Crosstime Saloon, Jan 2017:

In a forward, the author recounts a man who spent six months searching Long Island for the saloon and who was so angry when he found out that the saloon did not actually exist.

In fact, the author states he has been asked whether the bar really exists 5.372 10^10 times. If I had to hazard a guess, I doubt that the 5.372 10^10 people actually expect there to be a place where there are time travelers, aliens and telekinetic brothers.

But a place where there are a dart boards and pun days. Where it's only as bright as your living room. Where you can hear the stories of strangers and for 50 cents they will hear yours. I can see why 5.372 10^10 people want it to be real.

Kinda thirsty now. Placing it alongside my bookmarked Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

Author, Medium, Intuitive, Artist, Reiki Master and Blogger, Shirl Knobloch's book
caught my eye. Or maybe I should say it was the face on the front of her book that got my attention, Yes, I knit blankets for Squirrels/Amazon.

Shirl lives in a haunted house in Gettysburg and shares some of that local flavor, along with photos and art on her blog.




Who is the squirrel on the front of the book? Shirl mentions several names but I still have no idea whom to give top billing on this. Definitely, a cool character.

When it comes to living in a haunted space, Shirl and I have a similar view that ghosts are not always a negative influence nor as easily evicted as some might imply.

The presence (overlapping dimensions) can be so subtle that some people are unaware until an animal or guest who is sensitive detects it.

If the disruption is minor, it can be easier to accept the presence, allow a truce and enjoy the occasional interaction. It might even help one expand his own awareness - as has happened for me in several instances.

The most unnerving was in a house where the previous occupant had committed suicide. Didn't find out about that until after the poltergeist activity began.

Do make an exception if and when the interaction is negative and or menacing. Something else going on and relocating is a better option. Oh, remember, not everyone will believe your story. Never mind and consider your safety/sanity as the priority.

Ghosts are notoriously rotten at performing for cameras and crowds. Nothing in it for them after all. Encounters are most likely when the lights are low and the crowds have infused their energy and then departed. (Weston ghosts are good at that. Terry McKenzie has a VERY haunted house.)

Review my interview with Keith Linder (Demons in Seattle/Recap: The Travel Channel) about his ongoing poltergeist experience. And an update/YouTube.

Shirl does intuitive readings by email. Find her at Briar Rose Reiki
