The Medium is also a Doctor, Dr. Ian Rubenstein. Odd news links include Ghosts, UFOs and an Emotional Support Alligator.

"One day in 1924 when I was in trance an invisible personality announced himself as Fletcher and said that henceforth he would be my permanent assistant on the unseen plane. Just that simply our partnership began. Of course it was not I to whom Fletcher spoke directly; he announced himself to a friend of mine who was having the sitting - "Tell Ford that I am to be his control and that I go by the name of Fletcher." - Arthur Ford, An Arthur Ford Anthology.

Dr. Ian Rubenstein the Medium. Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview

Even with the amazing odd knowings, including an incredible medical diagnosis and revelation prior, the fact he chose to fully examine and immerse himself to become a Medium required no small bit of bravery, given his profession as a Medical Doctor.

The plus for those of us who are curious, Doctor Rubenstein makes the story very practical and real, no matter how unreal the circumstances. Given strong impressions and nudgings from Spirit and synchronistic support from the physical realm, he checks in to see what the heck its all about.

His supportive life partner is a big asset because stepping into the PSI realm does involve personal vulnerability and professional risk. Throughout the journey, his wife urges him to explore and learn what he can about his experiences. A true explorer, he dives in.

The "Snow Queen" encounter was a bold PSI knock on the door. He talks more about that in our interview and in this video feature story. Sorry I don't have part two. (If you do - please share a link!)



If you have even the slightest ability - intuitive, medium, energy healer, psychic - this story is a tremendous benefit because he walks you through the list of support techniques of grounding and protection and a few groups and organizations that are specific to helping train and advance psychic talent.

'Consulting Spirit: A Doctor's Experience with Practical Mediumship', available on Amazon or through the publisher: Anomalist Books.

Amazon Review: Amy in LA., 5.0 out of 5 stars, loved this book.
As a budding medium myself and a health care practitioner as well, I completely appreciated this book. A delight. Well written and highly readable.

Sample the book and you'll get a feel for how it goes, a day in the life of a Doctor Medium.
Chapter 30, page 217, starts with a request to help out with a poltergeist. Naturally, it progresses to a few somethings more. One Winter's Night.

Bio: "Dr. Ian D. Rubenstein is a U.K. doctor who works in Enfield, North London. Since training as a medium, he has attempted to use the mediumistic skills he has learned in his medical work as a primary care physician."

I am really hoping we will be able to catch up with Ian on how his medical practice has evolved as a result of having access to alternative sources of information.

Alert FYI - Excellent Recommendation on Ian's book from Stanley Krippner, Ph.D (I interviewed Stanley about Medicine Man Rolling Thunder.) He is known for his volumes of groundbreaking PSI research, Example:Environmental Influence on Clairvoyance. 

I do believe further study should include additional factors as I notice situations and places where my own results improve or wane. Those additional elements include weather, time of day, physical health and the presence of others - animals and humans, amplifying or draining the flow.

There is also a GoFundMe program now set up for Stanley, 6/19, job recently terminated - due to relocation of Saybrook University.  

Brilliant [and Rare video] with Micky Hart - talking about PSI experiment with the Grateful Dead audience and transcending time.

Board Camp Crystal Mine Sasquatch Encounters - Picnic Table Hijinx

“You could start at a path leading nowhere more fantastic than from your own front steps to the sidewalk, and from there you could go… well, anywhere at all.” - Stephen King, It


 Interview with Cheryl and Orville Murphy - Wendy's Coffeehouse Archives


The best and most amazing thing about the paranormal activity at Board Camp Crystal Mine is that it is ongoing. To make that point, shortly after our most recent interview there was another event.
I have no doubt the timing was intended to help draw attention to the nature of the interaction. (Playful and completely unseen.)

This is the image we talked about in the interview. 

From Cheryl -

Surprise on morning of July 12.
In back of the Murphy home at Board Camp Crystal Mine!
The table was flipped and quartz rocks
left on the feet of the table were freshly dug!
They had fresh dirt on them!
They did not come from the clean crystals from outside the crystal shop which is right next door!

Then came part two. After our interview, I got a new picture.

From Cheryl -

Another surprise this morning! (July 25, 2019)
They flipped the table back over

Board Camp Crystal Mine  July 25, 2019

and stacked the 4 rocks between 8:00 and 9:15 this morning!

With people and visitors walking about!
Unbelievable!!!! Lol 😆

Cat sitting on the table doesn't seem to be bothered by the activity.

Cheryl's remarks: "What does this Squatch Cat know??? He wandered onto the stage last October and never left! Of course we fed him! He seems to be around when things happen! We think he's a Squatch!!!"

No doubt the watchers are being watched. This is the money shot.

Cheryl explains:

Orville Murphy was shooting random photos in the woods at BCCM on February 15, 2019.
He didn't see the Squatch until he looked at the photos later!

Sure enough it was standing behind some trees

Board Camp Crystal Mine - Feb 15, 2019

and in the 2nd photo its gone!

Later, Orville went out and measured the tree
where its head was
and it measured at 11 feet tall!

Orville has had some real close encounters with the Squatch!

He told about the time the wooden pallet was thrown in his direction like a giant frizbee flying out of the woods!

That story is explained in the newest book "Beams - Book 2", expected to be released in time for the KC Paracon Aug 9-10!


Meet Orville and Cheryl Murphy at their vending table for Book 1 and 2 of the BCCM story documented with photographic evidence of the happenings at Board Camp Crystal Mine!

And all natural hand harvested crystals will be for sale from the mine. The Murphys will be speaking Friday, August 9, at 8 pm.

It is clear there is more to the story when one starts exploring and researching sightings and encounters. An excellent resource with numbers and data is the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO).

The summary of accounts from the US and Canada, 1921-2013 courtesy of Cartographer Joshua Stevens, put the sighting tally at more than 3300. Be sure to read the comments for stories of personal encounters with Sasquatch/Bigfoot and the resulting mind shift. *I updated this post to include the most recent Sasquatch story in the news. Gotta love the timing- same day our interview aired.

• Kentucky Sasquatch sighting (7/28/19) in the news. CNN. 

The same kind of mind shift that happens with encounters at Board Camp Crystal Mine also happens at Skinwalker Ranch in Utah and Bradshaw Ranch in Sedona, Arizona. (Tom Dongo interview and Jocelyn Buckner interview both mention Bradshaw Ranch. Big Girl is the resident Sasquatch.)

There are other places known for anomalous activity but to the best of my knowledge at this time there are none that are accessible and open to the public for tours and crystal digging with the perk of a potential Sasquatch sighting.

Board Camp Crystal Mine is a unique opportunity to visit an active area to learn more about Sasquatch behavior. And dig for Crystals. Read up about how the adventure started.
Book number one is available on Amazon: BEAMS.

Already experiencing paranormal wonders with my nightlight companion, I thought I had reached my limit when I started having ET encounters (I had no idea an indoor UFO sighting was possible. They come in all sizes. I also learned Aliens/Interdimensionals/ETs can connect telepathically or verbally (electronic sounding voice) as if they are standing beside you in the room.) but the Sasquatch experience at Board Camp Crystal Mine helped to remind me, whatever the limit is - I am not there yet.


Join me for Interview - 8/4/19 - Dr. Ian Rubenstein. The Doctor who studied to become a Medium. Consulting Spirit, an excellent story about how a Doctor decided to explore rather than block and deny his PSI experiences and dedicate himself to developing his talent.

With help, he learned and sought help from others who were also actively engaged in expanding and enhancing their own mediumistic abilities. Any suggestion the ability ended ... well, that was premature. No surprise if his patients - in addition to whatever medical info is needed - might ask him for additional insight.
