The Haunted Rider INN and Rock n Roll BABEEE

This past weekend Ian and I took a ROAD TRIP to Ohio (the Cleveland/Painesville) area. I was a guest speaker at "Meet The Spirits Conference". I also was peddling my pendulums and what not. So here is the lowdown on the weekend.

Saturday: We set off for travel about noonish. The further into Ohio we got the more rain came down on us. At one point we could barely see the road. Some people had pulled over on the side of the road to let the rain pass. But I mean it rained for 30 or more minutes and we were moving forward. I bet those cars that stopped sat there fore an hour or more! Pfft! We had places to be and people to see!

At last we arrived at the Haunted Rider INN.

The Haunted Rider Inn (thats the deck we sat on Saturday Night)

We were shown to our room, however we were offered the room that was supposed to be the most haunted, Suzanna's Room (insert ominous music here). After much thought and consideration (a certain snorer was factored into the mix) we took Suzanna's Room.

Outside of Suzanna's Room

Mind matrix makes me see a skull with glowy red eyes

We went downstairs and chatted a bit with Jennifer and her aunt Sherry (her other aunt Lynda was napping). When poof, pop, zoweeey, we lost power. I groaned because it was quite hot upstairs in the room. Everyone else was cheery about the whole thing, but heat and I don't mix well. Madelyn was on her way to the INN she was texting a spooky novel while driving. Later I learned she can text without looking at her phone, I was impressed.

Hunger set in and Ian and I decided to venture out into the town of Painesville. We heard from the INN keeper that the whole town had been featured in an Alieve Add. They had crossed out the Pain in Painesville. I missed that add. Ian and I found a little family restaurant and ate. I felt mucho better but needed a nap. Some people can travel and show up looking all glowey and happy. Not I. Traveling (and mind you it was only a 3.5 hour trip) makes me tired and gritty. So I napped. When we got up we went downstairs and there was some guy (and a woman) singing Irish songs. At one point he asked me to sing with him. I declined for the well being of everyone listening (there's many things i'll do just because someone says I can't, singing isnt one of those things). We went outside and found the rest of the gang outside on the deck. We joined them. We chatted for about 2 hours. I haven't laughed that much in awhile. At one point we all pulled out our cell phones and showed each other our cats. I WAS AMONG CRAZY CAT PEOPLE!


Later in the night we held a seance. Some people had some interesting experiences, I just felt the table buzz. Jennifer tells me that she has caught something on her voice recorder. I had mine going as well, and I have to see what I caught! Madelyn Alt said this about the seance: "during the seance . . . when the medium asked a question, I heard a soft whisper, almost a hiss: "Yes" off from one side of the room, but it almost seemed directionless. And when the dark entity was there, what I felt was a tense, viselike pulling from my root chakra area all the way up to my chest, tightening, tightening, tightening." SpoooKy huh.


Sunday: This was the day of the event. There was hustle and bustle by all the vendors and readers getting their table all set up. I brought Lucky the Gnome with me and he stood guard over my table. At one point I came up to my table and Jennifer's Aunt Lynda was standing by my table. She said something about the pendulums and I replied and we spoke for about a minute and then she all the sudden said "Oh Amy, it's you, I didn't even recognize you". Proof that I don't travel well lol. I said "Really, I look that different from yesterday". She said maybe it was my hair being down. I thought no, I don't travel well haha.

It was really cool meeting everyone at the conference. I gave my class at 2pm. During the class someone asked me about Orbs. I said that I thought a great deal of pictures with orbs in them was indeed just dust, however I've seen an orb with my naked eye. I mentioned that most of the blue orbs you see in pictures were lens flare... And then, just to prove me wrong, I saw a blue orb out of the corner of my eye. Those ghosts LOoooOOve to prove a person wrong, aye?

One thing that impressed me, Madelyn was giving a book signing that day and she had some fans drive 7 hours to see her! 7 hours, for a road trip, on a Sunday might I add. They sat with her a long time and she chatted with them. I'm sure it gave those people (many of them teenagers) a thrill!

Everyone left after the conference, but Ian and I had decided to stay another night and head into Cleveland to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.

Monday: SoooOOo much rain. I was sick of the rain. We went into Cleveland and had to park about a mile away from the museum. It was raining, a constant misty type of rain. We walked quickly to the museum and the whole right side of my body, face, hair was drenched. When we got into the museum we were told no photo's allowed. Grrrrrr. We did take some photo's outside the museum and inside the lobby. I will allow no photo's of me to be posted however, rain and travel do not make for a good photo opp for me.

Rock n Roll Babeee

Ian by the big funky guitars

As we walked through the museum I felt a sense of sadness. So much excess that led to destruction. So many stars that had their flames snuffed out so early. I was drawn to Janice Joplin's Porsche. She had it painted in a psychedelic theme (with peace symbols and magic mushrooms). Next to the actual prosche was a picture of her driving it through the streets of San Fran. She seemed so happy and carefree. Yet we know she had so many demons. On the top floor of the museum was the Doors exhibit. I read a letter that Jim wrote his manager from Paris. He was saying he thought he wanted to stay there, and would he send them credit cards with both their names on them (Pam being the other part of "them"). He also was asking for 3 grand in rent money etc... Soon after that letter he died. Many of these things they had in the museum were worn or written or touched by someone who has crossed over. Can you imagine the hauntings that go on at that museum!?

Janis and her Porsche (photo NOT taken by me, haha)

And then it was time to come home. I'm really starting to enjoy these mini road trips. I had mucho fun in spite of the rain and some other small annoyances. So cheers to all my fellow travelers that weekend, i'm looking forward to Bermuda BABY!

Rob Zombie is Haunting my Myspace Page!

Dear Blog Readers,

Something most peculiar is happening to my Myspace Page. I believe it to be haunted by the totally kick ass Rob Zombie. What is the scientific paranormal evidence I set forth to make such a statement!? Weeeeellllll, about 2 weeks ago, maybe a week, I dunno the days do fly by, anywhoo awhile ago while updating my page I put the Rob Zombie song Dragula as music, for your enjoyment purposes of course when you visit my home away from home, on my page (from his OFFICIAL Rob Zombie page of course, no phonies)!

So a few days later I put this new musician that I was diggin on my page. She was singing about the moon and I thought it went oh so well with my moon backdrop. I'm a matchey matchey person, I like things to have a theme and/or match. Soooo the song played a few days and then WHAMO Rob was back singing his Dragula song. Very tricky Mr. Zombie, but I'm being mz matchey matchey this week, so NO. However it did cross my mind that maybe, somehow, someway the person who was singing the song about the moon no longer wanted me to play her song on my page and somehow removed me. Hows that for a Scorpio mind!

So back to my theme, I put on a new song called Moonshadow by the Great Cat Stevens. I was being chased by a moon shadow for a few days and then BAMO ala KAZAM, the Zombie was back.

So my lovely blog readers, If that isn't SOLID scientific paranormal evidence that it's destined for me to one day meet Rob Zombie (and Sheri Moon) AND be in one of his movies, why dear sweet bloggers I don't know what to tell you. Haunt Away Mr. Zombie Mi casa away from home your su casa from home!

PS, I did change my password incase it was a hacker.

Myspace page located here:

View my page at your own risk. I cannot guarantee that Rob won't follow you back to your page and start haunting you with Living Dead Girl or something of that nature!

Chakras, Color Healing and all that jazz

So I dig the whole chakra thing. I think it has something to do with color, i'm really a color freak. Some people have music speak to them, others it's words, me it's color.

Colors have associations with them and I often tend to wear the color that is associated with the intent I'm putting out into the world. Lately it's been red. I'm dreaming of walking the red carpet me thinks haha. I'm screaming to the world LOOOOK at me.

My most favorite color is Orange. Orange is the color of Joy. I saw a soft orange bag/purse and I so want it. I have an orange bag already, but a girl can never have toooo many bags imho (or shoes, or sunglasses).

Lately we had a beautiful woman on ParaWomenRadio, Dyan Garris, that spoke about Money and Manifestation. She said money is associated with the root chakra. I always thought it was the solar plexus for some reason. Needless to say i've been doing weekly chakra cleansing and alignments. I wanted to share what I do.

First, I ground myself. I do this by running a cord from the base of my spine, down through the cement, the dirt, the earth, and let it rest in the middle of mama earth. Then I release all the negative things i'm feeling through this cord. It flows into mama earth and is transformed into some thing great (she has a great knack for that). Then I pull her energy up the sides of the cord and let it fill in the spots that had the negative energy I just released.

Next I open up my crown chakra (this is right above your head) to the infinite power of the universe. I bring down this golden light and let it spill into my body and all through my aura.

Now I start the Chakra spinning/alignment:
1-start with the root chakra (this is at the base of the spine and it's color is red). Start spinning it in a clockwise direction then visualize the color red shooting out of it and going straight up your spine (through the other chakras) and out the top of your head. Then bring the red back down and see your root spinning in a clockwise direction. If the red isn't clear, spin it till it becomes clear. If you can't get it to be a pure red, visualize the darkness going down that cord into mother earth.

2-Next is the spleen chakra and it is orange. Spin it in a clockwise direction and then bring it up your spine and through the other chakra's, and out the top of the head. Then bring it back down so that it touches your root chakra and goes back up and returns to your spleen chakra.

3-Now you do the same with all the other chakras, solar plexus(yellow), heart (green), throat(blue), third eye (indigo), crown(violet). Shot them up, then back down through the bottom chakras then return it to it's chakra. By this time they should all be spinning and clean. Remember if they aren't a pure hue (if you see smudges or they seemed to be dull, pull it out and send it down the cord to mama earth). So now you are grounded, connected to the universe, and walking around with pure, clean, fine spinning chakras!

Love and Horror
Amy
