War of the Worlds Halloween Homage: Embers & Dust plus Haunted Weston Ghost High Jinx

What's happening now is what happened before, and often what's going to happen again sometime or other. - Orson Welles, Mr. Arkadin.

Weird but true. People (Naturally, I can't write about this without the DVD player wigging out. Stuck when it doesn't usually have issues. Note: the issue, apparently, is the word 'temperamental'. )

Ghost Tales of Weston - Friday night 10/26 is filling and Saturday 10/27 is sold out. At least one group of attendees on the ghost tour had an interesting encounter last weekend at the Benner House.

Formerly a B & B, now an overflow site for the Saint George Hotel. As the tour party gathered, the presenter at the site said an odd cloud of fog emerged from the house and wafted above them. The fog was followed by an excited teen who ran out of the house and told everyone he had heard voices and footsteps. Staying behind while others in his group had gone out, he was alone.

Lively paranormal activity continues at the Weston Bend Candle Company. (A Paranormal Research group was visiting Saturday night. I'll update with results of their investigation when available.)

Last February, on a very slow day, the owner thought he heard someone at the door. While no living being was seen entering, a calling card appeared on the floor inside a space occupied by a display rack that would have been impossible to walk through. Water droplets formed the shape of a boot print, as if snow had been tracked in and traces were left melting on the floor. He showed me the photo he took. Definitely a footprint.
Nicolette is featured on the Weston Ghost Tour. 

No doubt you've heard of haunted objects. Weston is home to one fair lady doll who can no longer occupy the front window because she tends to ice up the glass.

Verna Kowertz writes about Nicolette in her book Ghost Tales of Weston. Page 36, Adams Mayfair.

A timely highlight, reported last weekend and posted October 20th, by a Main Street Galleria customer to Haunted Places. She took a picture of The Saint George Hotel having no idea it was haunted. Check out the very curious image in that window on the second floor.

And the post just previous is by Chris Williams who told me about his unnerving experience at The Saint George when he attended the Ghost Tales event last year (2017). I am glad he posted it.

Numerous homes and businesses are known to be haunted in Weston. Very few are open to the public in general and some that are don't mention their ghosts..

Ghost Tales of Weston, Page 83. The Price-Loyles House, built in 1857, is absent from the Ghost Tour but will be featured on the December Candlelight Homes Tour.

Actively haunted, the owners who bought and restored this historic home confess they altered their plans to live in the home full time due to the fact they are uncomfortable being in the house alone at night.

Photo evidence hints at the paranormal presence in their residence. The focus is a mirror in the bedroom. Other than furniture, the room was empty. However, a couple - smartly dressed in period clothes - appears clearly visible in the reflection.

The Premonition Code with Julia Mossbridge: Remote viewing and Precognition, plus a few notes on UFOs, Experiencer Research and Consciousness

If prevision be a fact, it is a fact which destroys absolutely the entire basis of all our past opinions of the universe. -  J.W. Dunne, Experiment with Time. Relevant video - then jump to T.C. Lethbridge, who believed ETs had a role in shaping human evolution.

Gregg Braden's newest book presents the case that the current view of evolution is not supported by science. He suggests we are Human by Design.


Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview with Dr. Julia Mossbridge. Are you a Precog?


OddsnEnds -
  • Common theme among UFO contactees is increased interest in environmental issues (Ariel Phenomenon). Ex-wife of Rolling Stones drummer echoes that. Quoted in Mirror about her sighting in Brazil (1990s), Jo Wood says, "I was looking down and these green orbs came right up and went right by our windows. I’ve been obsessed with aliens ever since. She's also on a mission to clean up the planet. Her new podcast: Jo's Alien Nation.
  • Highlights in this interview with Little Punk People, Elliot Fullam and Ace Frehley/KISS, talk about Space, Guitars, UFOs and Aliens.
  • Halloween film binge? PizzaFlix. Vincent Price, Agnes Moorehead, 1959, The Bat.
  • This is the book Rey Hernandez and I talked about (Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview): FREE Experiencer Research Study -"5 years of detailed responses to 3 extensive surveys taken by more than 4,200 individuals in over 100 countries." Pdf preview link.
  • Precognition episode from the series One Step Beyond: EMERGENCY ONLY. Purported to be based upon a true story. You decide. Link YouTube
  • What a gift - to dream your exam questions ahead of time. The Robert Moss Dream Blog includes that story on E.A.Wallis Budge "who recounted the episode to his friend H. Rider Haggard, the famous author of King Solomon's Mines and She, and Haggard retold it in his autobiography." Link.
What can *Science tell us about precognition? Neuroscientist Dr. Julia Mossbridge is providing data to validate the ability. Ever had a sense of deja vu or a dream that revealed an event that later came to pass? You might find support in this information, along with exercises and tests designed to help enhance or improve those skills.

Julia Mossbridge, walks me through a Positive Precog Training session in our interview. This is the video demo she refers to. Link. Watch and then sign up to test your ability.

I was very surprised at my result. At the outset, I talked about how it looked like leaves. Then I tried to describe it and make sense of it. That was taking it too linear. However, what I saw gave me a very good idea of how to improve by not over-thinking it.

Results are tracked for research if you give your consent. Play without being tracked or practice a few times before sharing your stats, that's okay too.

More thoughts from Julia on Precognition and her hope to connect and develop a Precog network: Facebook Live. Upcoming Events include Controlled Precognition 101 with Remote Viewer John Vivanco. For details and to Enroll.


- A personal precog experience involves my work as a traffic reporter. Last 'dream' before waking up. I am at the scene of an accident. Standing on the road. It is dark and I can see only one car involved in an accident and a white box truck at the scene. Ambulance workers are loading two people on stretchers and I am aware of a woman who is now standing beside me. She tells me it will be okay because she has worked with teenagers. I was there to help but can leave now. I woke up. 

I got to work about 45 minutes later and the accident recovery was still in progress. A car with 4 teenagers. Their designated driver lost control of the vehicle when he unexpectedly ran into a patch of low-lying fog. All of the teens were injured. -
