Terry McKenzie - Living with Weston Ghosts, haunted happily everafter... Super and natural

It began when as a young parish priest I tried to assuage my curiosity about ghosts, and in no time at all found myself enjoying the company of these people from the world of yesteryear. I even found myself acting as counselor/social worker to many of them. I just can't understand anyone being afraid of ghosts. - Holy Ghostbuster: A Parson's Encounters with the Paranormal, Reverend Joe Aelwyn Roberts

Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview with (1/28/18) Terry McKenzie. Living with Ghosts.

It started when he and his wife won the opportunity to restore a historic home in Weston, Missouri.  Bid and renovation plans had to meet requirements and be approved. Even the backstory on how theirs won is curious.

Because of the unique history behind the house (descendants of Daniel Boone), that story was newsworthy. Lawrence Journal World

Considering a similar project? Six owners share their story. CBS News  None mention Ghosts.

Restoration plans for the 1850's home were set and work was underway when the other shoe/s dropped. A tornado (or a really big wind) blew the roof off the house. Footsteps were heard in rooms where no one had entered. Ghosts were eventually seen, heard and photographed. Maybe not in that order.

One photograph - and I really should get a copy of this from Terry - is spectacular. Taken in an empty bedroom, the camera catches images in the mirror. Clearly featured in the reflected image, a couple.  Dressed in period clothes, the man and woman resemble former residents. Authentic and priceless.

Turns out the ghosts were pretty active, especially after lively gatherings and at night. Funny thing that. The owners didn't believe in ghosts. They showed up anyway. Terry has a few words to say about this, what it was like to discover ghosts are real.

This home will be on the Weston 2018 Christmas Homes Tour.

Thank you for listening and thank you for sharing!

-- My MIB encounter was in a dream. Nighttime. Me, standing out in the middle of a field watching a group of male friends a short distance away. I looked at the stars. A black car drove up through the field. Three men stepped out and walked up to me, all three wearing the classic black suit. Don't remember much about their faces and the conversation may have been telepathic. It seemed serious. I was told I needed to start doing what I agreed to do when I came here and somehow I knew exactly what they meant. Life changes ensued in short order. True story. - wendy

AI game changer. Wendy's Coffeehouse interview w/ Todd Mickelsen of Converus - 1/14/18.

Sci-Fi truth detection tech is coming on line. Stargate SG-1, Season 4, Episode 5 - Carter and O'Neill caught lying? The eyes have it. Imagine the uses: Law Enforcement, Human Resources, Retail, Lending and Dating, as a start.

As lie detection tech evolves, expect Polygraph tests to be replaced by a process that is less cumbersome, more efficient and remarkably accurate. And more widely adopted.

In the truth detection industry, EyeDetect is an up-and-comer. The program tracks dishonesty via eye movement. Accuracy? 86 percent. In 30 minutes. Watch how the program works. CNN/EyeDetect.

Another product offered by Converus, IdentityDetect, is 90 percent accurate in 3 minutes. Game changers to keep watching, no doubt.

One of the current users of the EyeDetect program, a testimonial. How does it work and is it cost effective?



Trying to foil EyeDetect? - Greg Avery with the Denver Business Journal - on video - takes the challenge. Twenty dollars if he wins. Some have won. Did he?

Paul Davids - CIA Mind Control, LSD, Zen and MK-ULTRA ... fractured programing

"One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them." - Aldous Huxley, Brave New World


A quick recap -


What if you were part of a study you were never supposed to remember? Fine print: no one told you that part. Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview - Paul Davids talks about his experience in the 60's. Blowing American's Minds - A true story of Princeton, CIA Mind Control, LSD and Zen.

When Paul Davids and John Selby were college students at Princeton in the 60's, they volunteered for a research study that turned out to be part of a secret CIA Mind Control program. MK-ULTRA details at The Black Vault. The study combined the use of psychedelics, popular at the time, and deep-level hypnosis.

Led to believe the sessions would aid consciousness expansion, spiritual awareness and, the kicker: better sex, they signed on. At the time, Psychedelic research was in vogue and funded by seemingly reputable sources. One of the high profile names touting the benefits of LSD Therapy at the time was Cary Grant. WFMU.org  Omitted fine print for the study would have noted the CIA involvement.

Paul Davids - Bio and Credits Link  - Includes 'Roswell: The UFO Coverup' and 'An Atheist in Heaven: The Ultimate Evidence for Life After Death.' (The Sequel)

Ram Dass talks about Timothy Leary - from Paul Davids' film, 'Timothy Leary's Dead', IMDB  -



Paul and John provide an intimate footnote to this part of CIA MK ULTRA history and unlike some of the other research subjects, some who were uninformed about their part in the study, they survived relatively unscathed.

Some of those negative stories are tragic. One incredibly chilling application tested was referred to as 'De-patterning', using a combination of sleep and electro-shock. 

Paul and John suggest they wanted to tell their story earlier but various factors, some personal and others, including difficulty in accessing background information due to the secrecy of the program and the institutions involved, made the information difficult to recover.

Each became caught up in the program and each responded differently. Mind control prompts included attempts to wipe memories and keep the information suppressed and it seems that was overcome.

Makes for an interesting read and raises questions about current methods of mind control (world wide) in use as a result of information gleaned from those studies and others like them. Worth knowing to better understand one's vulnerability to mind programming of all sorts, period.

Who do you listen to? What stories are you running? Who is informing your choices? Is there anything important you might have forgotten? Might you have a sensitivity to trigger words? If such programs are effective - how would the public ever know? Every decision you make is a programming choice. Stay curious. 

Curiously, it was only through an odd case of misfiling that the MK ULTRA program was ultimately discovered and revealed. And that's another story.

John Selby has been exploring Meditation and Consciousness for years. I found his work in a piece he contributed to the book Kundalini Rising. Through continued research John has discovered excellent insight on enhancing meditation and developed an app to assist. Extra credit for meditators - John's Books on Amazon
