  • Perfect for this show's theme of hospital hauntings. Nursing student in AZ says she snapped a pic to show her supervisor her finished work and discovered the outline of a boy appeared in the image. Fox10  Real and/or unreal, the sighting is coincidentally timely.

Wendy's Coffeehouse Podcast/Asylum 49 - podcast link here is poor quality - a very good example of ghosts in the machine. 

Takes a unique personality to balance the quirky lifestyle of living with spirits and unexplained with a day job. Cami Anderson and her husband Kimm signed on for that challenge when they bought an old hospital in Utah with the intention of transforming it into a haunted house attraction.

The real deal.
Joined by Paranormal Investigator Richard Estep, who also manages that lifestyle balancing act, the stories about the haunts behind the manufactured spooky of Asylum 49 are the real deal and some are the stuff of real nightmares.

In promoting the show, I made sure to reference room 666 (facebook pic on Cami's page) and I tossed that out as "coming up" while interviewing Richard and Cami. However, the mechanical hi-jinx indicated a redirect.
Sassy enough already. 

An interesting side note: Kansas City is home to the oldest Haunted House Attraction in the US. In operation for over 4 decades and considered the Granddaddy of haunts, also noted for some questionable paranormal elements but not to the extent of Asylum 49. Check last week's Podcast with Margie Kay and Amber

Edge of Hell: "sits at 666 feet above sea level,  oldest running commercial haunted house in the U.S. est. 1975, focused on phobias, home to the record-breaking reticulated python." FullMoonProd 


Note all the interesting connecting dots throughout this segment and post and then follow up with the rest of the story. Read The Haunting of Asylum 49

From the sound of it, book two should be out about this time next year. Richard is going back with the team for Round Two this Halloween night. Suspect the ghosts are ramping up.

Backstory for today's show -

First things first, Ghosts and non-corporeals really don't bother with whether you believe. When they show up, count on a short list of electrical issues and computer/tech quirks, malfunctions. Know there will be inadvertent emotional discombobulation and then allow for an added dose of inexplicable. Game ON!

(Full Moon) Today - the ghosts in the machine took center stage. Scenes of the flotsam from behind the mic:
  1. Producer Mark indicated a problem with the audio and was trying to sort that out to activate and engage the channels for sound elements. Audio fired and it was garbled. (First time I have heard that in digital mode.) Old school, when we worked with carts, that garbled, sped up sound would have indicated tape burn or meltdown in the cart machine.
  2. Notably, much of the KCMO daily programming show promos were flushed as was the log.
  3. Commercial break entertainment began with Coffeehouse Promos for the next paranormal show (Campfire with Jim Harold) repeating back-to-back, four times.
  4. Sidelined Bernard Beitman/Coincidence promo returned to the lineup. (He's the one who says there is no such thing as coincidence.) Nice touch. Here's that show: Connecting with Coincidence. 
  5. In perfect timing, at the end of the news segment, the audio element that garbled and choked at the intro voluntarily performed with no problem.
  6. Producer Mark was not amused.
  7. And then, the dead air alarm kicked in for another station at about 6:50 and could not be addressed until 7:00. 
Chalk it up to operator error and/or some fantastically intricate, mechanically relevant/irrelevant engineering anomaly or b: Go with the flow and note the details in how it plays out.

End of Act One. Entirely amused and entertained with that portion of the show, no doubt the unseen cameo cast took a bow somewhere in the wings.

Even if I am the only one who is aware of the full extent of the circus behind the scenes, I do find it incredibly fascinating - that connecting of the paranormal dots. Bravo!! Now, on to the next show!

10/8/16 - Margie Kay, ETs, Ghosts and a world famous snake, Oh MY!


"And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door.
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor:
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted—nevermore!"  - Edgar Allan Poe

Dining with Weston Ghosts -- a Fall favorite (SOLD OUT)

You may have heard the ads for Weston Missouri Tourism during the commercial breaks for Wendy's Coffeehouse. Quick update on the popular Dining with Ghosts event at Main Street Galleria. (UPDATE) All three nights are now sold out. Apologies if you missed the dates! This is an annual event and 2017 will be fun too!   

I'd like to see a ghost. It would confirm there's an afterlife. - Marlon Wayans

Downtown ambiance - Weston, Missouri

Living in a town full of ghosts may not suit everyone but a quick rundown of the local shops shows there are some who thrive in this atmosphere.

Whether the locals have seen one or not, those who escort the tourists on the ghost tours say they have found it easier to linger in areas that are well lit. Enough said.


Ghosts have been encountered in numerous locations throughout the town and in the surrounding vicinity of Weston, Missouri.

One location (not on the tour) reputed to have an extremely active ghost had been converted from storage (2014/15) to a residence. No other details have been made public. The startled resident shared his experience, investigating unexplained noises with his dog in tow.

The encounter vid is still available: "Weston Swinging Light Ghost - *language*

 

Main Street Galleria sweet shop is a popular draw with excellent pie and fudge as sample temptations. You can also order on their site.

Dining with Ghosts offers dinner and a walking tour of local haunts dishing up history and background regarding featured residences and sites. (Living and/or deceased.)

One couple got the fright of their life during a stay at a local Bed and Breakfast. As the story goes, they had just settled in for the night with a tray full of snacks when the full blown embodiment of the deceased walked through the room.

They promptly called the host and departed. Vacating haste was evidenced in the up-heaved food trays and the entire room left in disarray. Note: a spirit rarely shows up on demand but that room remains available upon request.


2016 dates are selling out fast. Two shows are now Sold Out and the final night, October 29th, is filling up.

No costume required but a healthy appetite is welcome. Rain or shine. Walking shoes help.


Call for reservations. Tickets are $45 per person. 816-640-2825. 

Details also available at Weston Community Theatre.

During the day I don't believe in ghosts. At night, I'm a little more open minded. - Ghost Quotes - Source for this Ghost Quote - UnknownMami.com

If you pay attention and start to notice those tiny instances when things didn't quite follow the linear flow, you might be able to connect more awareness to that moment and begin to initiate or engage more of that same experience. Meditation helps.

Cynthia has solid background in Physics that helps her give better descriptions and applications for the math that makes this all possible. One of the things we didn't have time to fully explore is the Mandela Effect. Knowyourmeme

We talk about the examples of reality shifts and how important it is to detach from negative news. Remain neutral. "Don't Panic."  Listen for the towel and hugs moment. :)
