Dear Diary,

Every since I made that statement about coming out of retirement to really start doing Spirit Rescue again ghosts in the house have been really scarce. The funny thing about ghosts is that they have free will and they can't be crossed into the light unless they choose to go. It does seem to make them nervous if you talk about crossing and they are not feeling the need to go on. That is why it can take a lot of coaxing and compassion to help them make the transition to move into the light.

What I have found is not all ghosts want to make that journey as they have become disconnected from the light. With Spirit Rescue it may take a few times to get them to move on unless they are really ready to go on. When communicating with them I do my best to let them know that just because they go into the light doesn't mean that they can't still make contact with the physical world. It really doesn't mean that they are cut off. They just won't need the energy from the physical world to sustain their existence as they reconnect into the light.

I have contacted two of my dear friends who do this work and I will see after the holidays how to reconnect back into this line of work again. For now I am getting ready for Easter and lots of time with my family as we are all preparing for the holidays.

Dear Diary,

Well, some interesting things have developed over the last few days. Last week, after editing my book and getting it ready to go to the press, I have been thinking a lot more about what I will do since a lot of my time and effort went into this project. Now I have the extra time to get back out and start working with Spirit Rescue again. The funny thing is that now that I have been really thinking about working with rescue again, the ghosts in the house have been making themselves very scarce these past few days. I know that they are around as I will catch a glimpse of them here and there but they don't make themselves as obvious as in the past.

I was talking to a friend the other day and she was asking me about ghosts and what attracts them to certain people. I explained that many can see ghosts but it is the energy or something that the ghost recognizes that makes them feel comfortable around certain individuals. Sometimes not everyone sees or communicates with the same ghosts as the ghost will attune themselves or their energy fits automatically to that person that they communicate with.

When working with Spirit Rescue you have to learn how to find the frequency that the ghost is resonating on and find that level of frequency to communicate with them. It takes a lot of practice to develop that technique and skill. This is one time that patience is definitely a virtue.

Dear Diary,

These past few days have been a mix of energy in the house. There hasn't been a lot of activity in the house until last night after talking with someone on the phone about ghosts. Afterwords the energy activity picked up quite a bit as I tried watching a movie later on but kept having ghosts playfully swooping in front of my face. They weren't trying to talk to me they just wanted to make their presence known. I couldn't help chuckling to myself and continued to watch the movie that I promised to see with my family. Eventually towards the end they stopped.

After the movie I got ready for bed and then turned in for the night. I have to say that they let me rest peacefully as they didn't try to get my attention during and before I went to sleep. I did get up in the middle of the night for a drink of water and even then they didn't try to make their presence known. This morning when I got up I noticed some activity but not a lot going on in the house. It seems they have settled down since having their fun last night.

Dear Diary,

Since I have been recovering from the flu this past weekend I have not really done a lot with my work at home. I spent most of the time taking naps and taking it easy. When I was awake I did notice that there were a few whiffs of white smoky blobs moving around the house but didn't have any interaction with them as they seemed to keep to themselves.

 I also saw the shadow man again last night in the front of the house. He is the one who likes to hang out by the front door. He seems to be fascinated with the light on the porch and likes to move in and out of the light. When he does you can still see the light shining around his dark form. He only shows himself from the waist up so I always know it isn't a person in the light as the light still shines above and below him.

The other thing that happened was this morning when I was somewhere in between waking up and still asleep I went into twilight. When I did I was able to see some visions of several archetypes and how they all mesh in the different personalities in people that I know. As I lay there I could also see how relationships fit together and what they all had in creating the dynamics of those relationship. When I came out of it I was excited and plan to take some extra time this next week to investigate further what I saw so clearly in twilight.

Dear Diary,

Yesterday afternoon the flu hit me with a vengeance. I am only just now feeling a little like writing. I did notice that a few days before the animals in the house kept looking at my aura as if they were concerned and could see something there. I did wonder at the time if they were seeing something that was out of the ordinary. Most of the time they are just happy to see me.

As far as ghosts I have seen just the usual activity in the house. I did try to make contact with the woman yesterday morning who came to comfort me the other day but didn't have any luck with making a connection. She might have moved on to somewhere else. But still I have to wonder in the back of my mind if she might have known I was coming down with the flu and had placed her hand next to me feeling some kind of compassion for me. That is not the first time I have had ghosts come and try to comfort me.

I am feeling very tired so I am heading back to bed.

Dear Diary,

It has been busy around the house lately as we have been dog sitting for our son this week. His dog is just now coming out of the puppy stage but I still have to always keep my eye on him. I was told by a friend that Labradors take at least two years to calm down. I believe her. He just has so much energy!  Lately I have found that our other pets like to spend their days upstairs away from all the excitement.

I do think it is funny that when we are babysitting the big dog the ghosts seem to always keep a low profile in the house. I have to admit I was a little surprised when I was sitting on the couch last night watching a movie with my daughter when someone laid a hand on the back of the couch next to me. My first thought was "Oh how nice someone is comforting me by letting me know that they are there." Then my next thought was, "Oh wait, there isn't anyone there! It's a ghost!" as I watched the hand fade away before my eyes I could see that it was a bony hand of a women with long painted pink finger nails. That is not the first time that I have seen that hand. I saw it only a few months ago in the doorway of the bedroom reaching out to touch my daughter's hair when she came to say goodnight.

Hmmm... Usually they don't stick around that long. I guess I need to check the house today and see what is up with the long time visitor...

Dear Diary,

We had a lot of activity in the house last night. I finally asked the ghosts to start to show themselves. I remember when I was working with one of my teachers to be careful what you ask for because ghosts are intelligent. They have a consciousnesses in which they can interact with us. That is why it is not a good idea for people who are being haunted to threaten or challenge a ghost as they may take you up on it.


After I sent out the invitation the rest the evening I started to see wisps of white smokey images darting around the house coming into my vision for a second before disappearing and reappearing in other parts of the rooms. All the lights were on so they were making their presence known in the light. When I was in the bedroom I caught sight of shadows moving past the doorway in the master bathroom. Tickled, I asked if anyone wanted to talk but got no answer. They just seemed to be satisfied showing themselves move around the room. Eventually I went to bed and didn't have any interruptions during my sleep for the rest of the night.
