With piercing crystal blue eyes that penetrated the soul, he wove his web of seductive lies to bewitch the Russian queen, Tsaritsa Alexandra. His lustful and hypnotic nature entranced the royal Romanov’s leading them to a dark and traumatic end. Tsar Nicholas and his family were tragically and brutally murdered by fellow countrymen who believed the Emperor and his family unfit to rule due, in part, to the family’s belief and trust in psychic, healer and mystic Grigori Rasputin.
His ability to woo, possess and charm some of the greatest and most powerful people in history was extraordinary. His courtship of the queen and many other women was exemplary especially considering he was not a man of virtue nor abundant attractiveness. His riches were few as were his manners and practice of hygiene.
The energy that surrounded this man was described as enchanting and alluring. His eyes were the main focal point of his captivating spell, ice blue eyes that mesmerized and entranced his prey.
What mystical and captivating allure did this vulgar man possess in order to control so many regal and intelligent people?
An Indigo is an individual who possesses unique qualities and abilities that is normally used for positive and illuminating change in the world. They utilize their innate higher awareness for good and helping those in need. Their energy is captivating, warm and invigorating for others. Psychic, empathic and enlightened healers, these wonderful and popular individuals have chosen to be the bearers of the light and positive spiritual messages.
Physical attributes recognized of many Indigos are the eyes, often icy and penetrating blue, their soul seems to emulate through them with breathtaking illumination. They are known to have spellbinding energy surrounding them making them irresistible to those around them. People are just compelled to be near an Indigo, to speak to them, to know them.
With all positive, there must be an alternate balance creating the mystery of the great dichotomy. Rasputin was one of those who embraced his mystical gifts for evil purposes. Serving only himself, he manipulated and lured the naïve and innocent to weave his own twisted labyrinth. Craving the attention, energy and desire from others, this anti-Indigo used his supernatural endowment for personal gain.
In his presence, women swooned and men admired welcoming him into their elite and prestigious societies. Stealing, lying and deceiving any lady of her virtue, he connived his way to the top of Russian nobility.
Once those in power finally realized his treacherous game, Rasputin was named the antichrist and was punished for his crimes. He was poisoned, shot, stabbed, beaten and thrown into the icy river.
With all power and wisdom comes choice, choice to promote illumination, hope and peace, or to embrace the power as your own and evoke the destruction of others in your wake. His vengeful earthly soul is long gone into the abyss of the afterlife, but the memories of his power and supernatural evil tendencies will live on for centuries.

My father had been transferred with his work from Rocky Mountain House to a town way up north called Fort St. John. My father, my mother and four young girls prepared ourselves for a whole new way of life. I myself had never been there before and I was quite nervous about moving so far away from my familiar childhood home.
My parents had gone up to the far northern town for a whirlwind three days to try to find a house to buy for our large family. After viewing many houses that were less than suitable, they started feeling less than optimistic. Finally, on the final day, they found it, not perfect but certainly good enough. The house was a big beautiful four bedroom bungalow with two bathrooms, big kitchen, fireplace and a ghost.
Being a sensitive all my life, I did notice the odd feelings right away. We were there for all of about an hour when I started feeling that familiar sensation. It’s starts out where you occasionally feel watched by unseen eyes, but it’s so brief that you shake it off and continue on your way. Then the sensations strengthen into glaring and sometimes the cool breezes that brush past you in the hallway.
So many instances happened in this house, it’s utterly impossible to put them all down, but I will definitely try to cover as many as I can.
My experiences were pretty much always the feeling of being watched or the occasional nudge from an invisible elbow, but the rest of my family have far more eerie memories.
My mother states that quite often while she was all alone in the house, that you could audibly hear whispering swirling about.
Twice I was woken up by my water bed sloshing so violently that my head was hitting the headboard. Being the teenager, I got the creepy room downstairs, yah, fun. I didn’t live in that house more than six months before moving out, mostly because I was an obstinent, head-strong hormone raging jerk. But, also the house wasn’t too inviting for me, the spirit didn’t particularly like kids or teenagers. Two of my sisters in particular received the most interest from the spirit.
My sister, Crystal, a sensitive in her own rights was plagued by the spirit often at nights. He would wake her up from her sleep by screaming in her ear, most times she couldn’t understand what he was saying, but once it was very clear, “Listen to me!!!!” He yelled it with such force it sent the poor young girl into hysterics, running off to sleep with her other sisters.
Jill, another sister, was approximately six years old when she woke up in the middle of the night, noticed her toy kitten had fallen off the side of the bed. She leaned over to retrieve it from the floor and the toy kitten took on a life of it’s own and was promptly placed out of her reach and it seemed to zip quickly under her bed. Another very scared little girl that night.
Jaclynn, the youngest never seemed to experience any visual paranormal activity, but some mornings she would wake up with several deep scratches on her body, some in places, like her back, that she couldn’t even reach.
The most poignant stories though are those of the sightings of the ghost. Two completely different sightings, different people, different times.
Crystal was downstairs watching television and all of the sudden, she noticed someone standing in the doorway leading to the hall to the right of the television. He was a tall man, she said, slightly transparent and had a bluish glow. He had dark hair, a beard and seemed to be wearing a checkered flannel shirt and jeans. She stared at him stunned and unable to comprehend what to do next. He appeared next to be trying to speak to her, she could see his mouth moving, but no noise. This proved to be more than enough for the frightened youth and she bolted for the upstairs.
Many months later, Jill was in the same situation, watching television alone downstairs and she noticed peripherally the man standing in the same location as before. She describes him the same exact way as Crystal, only he didn’t try to say anything. She says she wasn’t scared, they just stared at each other for a while, she approximates about thirty seconds, then she calmly got up from the couch and went upstairs.
The interesting thing about this story is that neither girl spoke of the incident until many years later when they were teenagers sitting in a hot tub and decided to talk ghosts. They were both flabbergasted when they discovered they had both seen the same man, very tall, bearded, dark hair and that checkered flannel shirt.
Years later, I happen to be a hairdresser, I worked at a little salon in Fort St. John that many older residents tended to frequent. One day, the little old lady from next door to my former residence happens to sit down in my chair. We small talked a little, then it crossed my mind to ask her about the house.
What I found out astounded me. A man, her neighbor, whom she knew for many years, had died in that house from cancer. He ailed and passed away in the house, in Crystal’s future room. I asked her, with a dry mouth, what he looked like and she said very firmly, “He was so tall! I would be weeding my garden in my back yard and he would literally look right over the six foot fence and say hi, always scared the life outta me!” She also described clearly his features, he had dark hair, a beard and what sent shiver down my spine was her next comment, “That man never left the house, rain or shine, without those checkered flannel shirts.”
I have plans to call the new owners of that house and ask them if they’ve had any experiences. I’ll keep you posted.

Yesterday I had a very interesting and potentially paranormal experience as I was assisting my sister in law, Amber, with a modelling shoot. My sister in law is a very gifted and exceptionally talented photographer. She accompanies me on ghost hunting adventures and manages to capture the most unique and captivating photographs. When shooting a model, she manages to obtain the very essence of the individual she is photographing.
We were taking pictures in Amber’s workplace’s parking lot. The model, dressed in fifties vintage clothing, was sitting atop the old red 1950s Chevy truck. The drivers side door was ajar because the model had started with sitting in the drivers seat and left it open. As she was perched on top of the hood posing and Amber snapping pictures, the drivers side door suddenly closed, slowly and smoothly, in plain sight of all three of us.
All of us, looked at one another in mild confusion. There was no wind whatsoever, the model had been sitting very still at that moment therefore not creating any vibration or movement for the door to move. There was no natural slope to the lot, it was completely flat. Amber stated immediately that while she was focusing her lense to take the shot, she swore she saw a quick glimpse of what appeared to be an arm pushing the door of the truck closed. At that moment she says she simply assumed it was one of the shop guys that she worked with coming out into the lot to bug us and closed the door. Of course, there was no one but us three anywhere near the truck for half a block.
I’m very interested to see what Amber may find on the photographs after she done processing them.

Little Amber was only was only in her early teens when she was formally introduced to the paranormal.
Amber had been best friends with Tina for several years and was welcome with open arms into Tina’s eccentric family. Anytime that Amber was there, Tina’s family would tease Amber by making comments pertaining to the home’s invisible family member. Amber took the notion with a grain of salt and chalked the teasing up to fiction.
One afternoon, Amber accompanied Tina home from school and the girls planned a sleepover. Looking forward to an evening of giggles and popcorn, Amber never considered that her evening might be disrupted by the unknown.
At one point in the late afternoon, Tina and her family informed Amber that they had to run uptown briefly. Amber decided to stay behind, alone.
After everyone left, Amber was surfing the channels on the television when she suddenly heard an odd noise coming from a nearby bedroom. The noise was indisputably the clanging of wire hangers being shoved around as though someone were frantically searching for something to wear.
Confused, Amber immediately assumed that the family’s small dog may have gotten into something in the closet and she started to get off the couch to go and check it out. Before she even stood up, the noise had ceased and that’s when she noticed the little dog sleeping on the floor beside the sofa. More than little alarmed by this time, she noticed that noise not only had started again, but was getting increasingly louder. It was as though the noise had entered into the hallway and was making it’s way towards her.
As the noise got louder and closer, the dog became increasingly agitated and frightened as well. He began to whimper and whine, shivering with fear. The noise was so intense now and so close that Amber panicked and bolted for the front door. The dog was close behind her, but the noise seemed to also follow in hot pursuit.
The screen door was one which when opened had a very tight and fast closing mechanism so that after Amber was out the door, it closed very quickly, trapping the little dog inside. Amber ran out into the middle of the lawn, petrified. The dog was inside literally screeching and madly clawing at the door to get out. Suddenly, the dog yelped and all was quiet.
Amber was beside herself with fear and worry for the little dog but was much too afraid to go and check. She decided to sit on the front lawn and wait for Tina and her family to come home.
Within the hour, the family returned to find Amber sitting nervously in the yard. Amber frantically explained what had happened and to her shock and amazement, all Tina said in reply was, “I told ya there was a ghost in that house.”

Upon first impression of any new individual you may meet, you immediately form an opinion. You may not even converse with them, but you can tell within a few moments as to whether or not you feel good around this person. An individual’s personality is literally written into the energy surrounding themselves. Similar to pheromones, an aura emits a vast amount of personal information. Without even being psychic or having the ability to see auras, your natural instinct can guide you when sensing another’s energy signature.
For instance, when you are simply walking down the street, you pass by many other pedestrians. In an instant, you can distinguish between those strangers whom you feel you could possibly trust and those whom you’d like to cross the street to avoid. You might argue that it might be their appearance, attire or our preconceived notions of what an individual should and shouldn’t look like that causes your discomfort. Those are perfectly acceptable options for explaining one’s level of comfort or lack thereof with a stranger. But our ability to sense an individual’s intention or level of kindness may also reside with our sixth sense, an empathic intuition.
Reiki masters and those who provide the gift of healing touch utilize and manipulate these powerful energies around individuals. They open, cleanse and restore balance to the energy fields of those in need. A clean, healthy and balanced aura can literally and profoundly alter one’s frame of mind and even cure many types of ailments.
An aura left open to the toxicity of a highly unfavorable environment, bombarded by stress, invalidation, bitterness and resentment, can literally cause a person to become ill. Depression, chronic fatigue and hormonal imbalance can occur simply from an unstable aura. These ailments, in turn, can lead one onto the dangerous path of even more dire illnesses, such as cancer. Or worse yet, can directly hinder any efforts made to heal a major illness.
Unfavorably charged residual energies that may be deposited into the very fibers of dwellings and workplaces, can literally sap one’s energy and force the depletion of a healthy aura and body. Antagonistic attitudes or trauma imposed by toxic people can leave you or your home with a very dark cloud hanging over it.
Two perfect examples of both positively and negatively charged residual energies impressed into locations are that of churches and graveyards. When anyone, even someone of little faith, walks into a church, a sense of peace, contentment and respect immediately wash over them. A church is a place of great positive and loving energy. Hundreds pray, meditate and forgive any ill will towards others, therefore cleansing themselves of adverse thoughts or attitudes. Have you ever seen a churchyard left in disarray or treated disrespectfully? Or do people gravitate towards kindness, compassion and respect upon entering the territory of the source of so many well intended thoughts?
A graveyard, on the other hand, usually contains the contrary charged energies left behind from those in the grieving process. The air in a cemetery feels dense, thick and depressing. Knowing that some day this is your fate combined with the notion of walking around a bunch of decomposing corpses doesn’t help, but the abundance of leftover energy are from the emotional remnants of the living. That energy can overwhelm a cemetery with very unwelcome and uncomfortable sensations. Time and time again, loved ones come to the graves with the sole intent of expressing their sadness, pain and sorrow.
Paranormal enthusiasts may put forth the notion that these sensations may be the work of the disquieted dead refuting the very idea of their death. In actuality though, ghosts rarely frequent graveyards. Mostly because if they are earthbound souls, they don’t actually realize or accept the reality that they are indeed dead. They then would normally prefer to hang out in familiar territory usually at their former residence and not at the location with the reminder of where their decaying body lies.
So how does an individual distinguish between a true haunting or a residual energy deposit in their home? It can be a little tricky.
To obtain the answer, begin by asking yourself a few questions. How does your home feel to you? Does your home make you unwelcome or do you dread coming home? Do you constantly feel exhausted and drained when home, but feel fine if you leave the premises? If you continuously feel like ‘getting out of the house’ or have a sensation of discomfort, it’s probably adversely charged residual energy that has been deposited into the home.
If you move into a new home and are suddenly depressed, anxious or if you notice pessimistic behavioral changes in yourself or others residing there, it’s a good indication of residual energy. Feelings of dread, fear, sadness or obsessions that are abnormal for an individual are common signs. A sudden and bizarre increase in illnesses, mood swings or addictive behavior can also indicate a level of imbalance in the home.
Actual hauntings are very rare. Believe it or not, ghosts do have better things to do than to simply antagonize you. Hauntings are generally categorized by objects missing and found later where you know you already looked. Cold spots and a sense of being watched are common. Sightings and the occasional orb of course would definitely indicate a spirit. But the most significant proof that there is a ghost is their attempt to communicate. Whether it is through dreams, physical contact or the general disruption of your home, an entity will somehow express their opinion.
Once you’ve established if the home is indeed infected with a negative residue, you can move on to the next stages. The basic steps in dealing with this phenomenon is to first diagnose it, acknowledge it and then proceed with the cleansing process.
Burning sage or sweetgrass, pouring salt around the perimeter of the house, having the home blessed and of course imagining a purifying white light emanating throughout the house, are all perfectly acceptable forms of cleansing a property. All of which are based on the idea of positive reinforcement. None of these procedures actually have a basis of magic, witchcraft or paranormal ability, it’s simply the act of your choice that creates a positively charged vibe. You are the conductor of the positive energy, your mind just subconsciously needs the catalyst.
By utilizing these purifying tools, you have made the conscious choice to think of the property as cleansed, balanced and positively charged. By changing your frame of mind and in essence, your aura’s condition, you can reverse the ambience of the home. It’s similar to the effect that prayer or good will has when sent from one person to another. The goal being that you consistently and frequently maintain the ‘good’ atmosphere. You can literally invent a way to positively charge the area of your choice, as long as it feels good to you, it will make a difference. It can take a bit of time and effort to permanently alter the negative effects of the previous owners, but it’s worth it.

Have you ever walked into a home and it just simply felt warm, cozy and the ambiance seemed to hug you like a old, friendly family member? Or have you experienced the feelings of dread, discomfort and impending doom from a house for no apparent reason?
You could rationalize, certainly, that it just was or wasn’t inviting. You could argue that the decor was all wrong or you might not have liked the individuals currently living there and subconsciously superimposed your suspicions onto the home.
There also is the potential that the home is in fact occupied by an entity, spirit or specter. The ghost of some wayward soul, trapped for an eternity to forever wander the abyss of your basement, watching your every move and causing the hairs on your body to constantly stand at attention.
But, there is another option that may be considered. Residual energy. Energy, negatively or positively charged left behind from former tenants of the home. Human auras are a powerful and potentially tangible substance. The human aura can literally extend up to three feet outside of a living body. It contains a multitude of colors, varying from red, blue, black, gray, pink and purple. The fluctuations of colors, of course, depend on many variables. If someone is angry, the aura will emit red. When someone is sad or in a very unstable mood, it tends to be gray. It glows pinks, lavenders and blues when balanced and happy.
Barbara Ann Brennon, author of Hands of Light, describes the complexity of auras as a biological energy field in great detail. She writes about her life’s work and experiences with the human aura. Describing in the mechanics of the human spirit and how it affects our health and environment.
“If we define the Human Energy Field as all fields or emanations from the human body, we can see that many well-known components of the human energy field have been measured in the laboratory. These are electrostatic, magnetic, electromagnetic, sonic, thermal and visual components of the human energy field.”
She goes on to explain the fields of plants, animals and inanimate objects as well containing their own energy signatures. Further more, she states that we can manipulate these fields with healing touch, essentially cleansing and positively recharging the aura. Also, she describes how different personalities and dispositions of people can affect their surroundings. Particularly, how one aura can affect the energy field of other people and objects.
So, after explaining the dynamics of the human energy field in detail, we can establish that it may very well be possible for human beings to leave an energy impression on inanimate objects. Therefore, why would it not be plausible that some alleged hauntings of a home or area be the result of human energy leaving an imprint of their aura.
I believe that some traumatic events in particular, like violence or fear, can leave lasting in impressions in not only people, but their surroundings. Depression, anxiety, hate and sorrow are such powerful emotions that they would surely affect even the least empathic of individuals.
Being an empath myself, I’m extremely sensitive to these impressions left behind in homes. I have difficulty living in homes where anyone has lived previously. I feel most comfortable in homes built from the ground up and I am the first owner, leaving all my own energy imprints. I have lived in homes where I’ve sensed certain impressions from the previous owners and then afterwards have my suspicions confirmed by a neighbor who happen to know the previous tenants very well.
I’m not suggesting that real ghosts do not impose themselves as unwelcome guests in homes and locations, part in fact because I have investigated true spirit hauntings and they leave me with an entirely different experience.
I believe a large portion of the ‘ill at ease’ sensations felt in homes may indeed be explained by lasting energy impressions of previous trauma fused into the very molecular makeup of the walls and local atmosphere. Equally, I think good emotions of love and happiness can also substantially positively charge the energy of a home.
Barbara also suggests in her book that the condition your aura maintains can dramatically alter your health.
So, in retrospect, it may very well be a good idea to seriously pay attention to your natural instincts pertaining to sensing these powerful energies when purchasing your next home. You never know if your home is going to be negatively charged by some depressed and cranky former homeowner.
Part two of this topic will include tips as to how to rid your home of this negative energy and ways to tell if your home has residual energy or is occupied by a true spirit.

It was a cold and calm winter evening in Alberta as I was drove my children home from my daughter’s dance class. The ambient sound of the children’s movie played on the van’s DVD, hypnotizing my children into transfixed good behavior.
I could see the crescent where my home resided from a couple of blocks away. As I hummed along to the music playing on the children’s video, I noticed an odd light emanating to the west of our house. There were numerous street lights in the vicinity so I assumed it was merely part of the normal backdrop of the city’s horizon. I continued en route not giving the light another thought.
We turned into the crescent, parked the van and I began unloading my two children. As I rounded the north side of my van, I heard a distinct burning or sizzling sound from behind me. I turned around confused by the odd disruptive noise and was shocked to see the ball of light hovering directly above me. It was the size of a basket ball and approximately two street lights high as it was well above several of the street lights in my neighborhood. It was so bright that my eyes struggled to stay focused on it for too long. The sound was so distinct, like a hissing, it reminded me of a very powerful propane torch.
The luminescent and illuminated white orb emanated it’s splendor mere meters from me, dancing eloquently within the clear black evening sky. Nothing impeded the view in front or behind this amazing entity.
In this moment, I had the distinct impression that it was saying hello. Sort of an excited message just for me stating ‘Hello there, we are here! Nice to meet you.’
Right after this interesting telepathic message was conveyed, I noticed several airplanes entering the air space above my home.
I looked up at the glowing ball again and as my eyes focused on it, it zipped to the west so fast that my eyes couldn’t even adjust to track it into the mountains.
My heart pounding, I raced into my house and excitedly called my husband on his cell phone. I frantically explained to my calm and collect husband what had just transpired. He of course, being my cool and relaxed best friend said, ‘Cool….I wish I was there, I always miss the good stuff.’
I called the radio station to see if anyone else had reported seeing anything odd in the sky that night, but they said no. The polite station manager stated though that he had experienced many calls reporting strange occurrences in the sky when he was a DJ in Saskatchewan years before.
Oddly enough, I had many strange issues with all of my phones over the next couple of days. My house phone would ring and have odd noises coming from it. My cell phone’s alarm, which I’ve never used, would suddenly go off without being set.
I truly feel that this wonderful ball of light was a benevolent and curious being merely saying hello. Someday, it my wish that whomever these glorious, highly evolved beings are, trust all of us enough to land our front lawns and shake our hands in friendship.

Long gnarled horns protruding from his sinister head, hooves dripping with blood and evil. Hot red skin that enjoys and absorbs the heat that oozes from the torrid depths of hell. Whips slash and echo in the caverns of hate and the embers of fire burn unceasingly never allowing the ash to form. Cries of pain and unending torture reverberate off the walls of eternal agony.
The devil has long since been the nemesis of the light and goodness in the world. Born from the pages of the most ancient best seller, his plague of existence has been the bane of our mortal fears for thousands of years. His minions create terror in our conscious and subconscious for fear they will erode and devour our soul, consuming our very material reality and forever owning our soul.
He has been bestowed with many an alias over the centuries, from Lucifer to Satan to Beelzebub and Belial, all spark fear and terror in the hearts and souls of those who give him credence.
Religion and the bible maintain that specific rules, regulations and general moral attitudes must be strictly followed or the consequences will be a dire and horrible eternal existence with this monstrosity. A tyrannical and morbidly petty god from above will banish his beloved children’s souls forever to suffer their disobedience against him.
Why do humans inflict this sort of thinking and belief system upon themselves simply because a book told them so?
Imagine yourself back in the time of Greek mythology when there was a specific god for nearly every element and force in nature. The gods of fire, war, water, earth and sun. The Greeks had well over thirty major gods not to mention the vast array of minor gods and goddesses. By today’s standards, these whimsical storybook gods of old are considered obsolete and even silly, but the people of that timeframe believed with all of their hearts and souls in these fairytale archetypes. Imagine yourself trying to explain to them about your own vastly different belief system and how they may react.
Now picture yourself a thousand or more years in the future, do you think the beliefs and ideals of this new era will vastly disagree with your own era’s? Do you think a highly evolved society will have a more advanced and logical state of awareness.
It’s a very distinct probability that they will have conquered the ideas and concepts of the twenty first centuries fears and mass illusions of an evil underlord.
In regards to exorcisms and demonic minions who possess the unwilling human soul, consider this, babies and animals never seem to ever be afflicted with this atrocity. The apparent possessions and horrific experiences of demonic infliction seem to only resonate with those at a certain level of consciousness.
A baby for example has no verbal capabilities nor understanding of judgement, bibles or demons until a much later age. Animals have no comprehension whatsoever of any moral or restrictive bylaws, therefore do not qualify as possession potentials for the wayward demon. A victim must have verbal understanding and self awareness for the darkness to be able to manipulate them. They prey on the weak who have been taught to only think or act with permission.
The devil is merely a late night fable told by those who wish to control the masses by fear and restriction. Enlightenment and positive self awareness is the only cure for the malady of dis-ease of society.
