20
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: on iHeart radio. Now you are a fifth generation psychic

21
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: trans medium. That means we're talking about way back your

22
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: family has had this ability. What year or who did

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: it start with? You know? Um. It's interesting because growing up,

24
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: my mother just never really wanted to I don't know

25
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: if she didn't want to scare me. She just you know,

26
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: my poor father though, he thought, just these girls insane. Um.

27
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: But I would come to her and talk to her

28
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: about spirits that I was seeing, and to me it

29
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: was normal. It didn't seem unusual. I didn't have anything

30
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: to judge it by, um. And my mother would just

31
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, God bless her. She'd say, oh, here's some

32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: holy water, you know, just to you know, she'd tell

33
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: my father she's normal. UM. But she didn't really discuss

34
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: it with me a lot until I was older and

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: I was still you know, involved, let's say, in the

36
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: metaphysical and that spiritual realm. And one day, I mean

37
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: she was were talking, you know, in her sixties, she

38
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: finally told me that, jeez, you know what, Maureen, this

39
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: has been from my family for many many years. Like

40
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: her great grandmother and you know, her grandmother us to

41
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: heal people in town and heal them of their illnesses

42
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: and keep them, stop them from bleeding, and do readings

43
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: for them. And she said, you know, I hear the spirits,

44
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: but I just turned up the radio. Would you say

45
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: that there was a member of your family that was

46
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 1: better than another member? I never, you know, never really

47
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: quite thought of that. UM. I would say that I had.

48
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: You know, my grandmother died when she was twenty eight,

49
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: so I never really knew her. UM. But my great

50
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: grandma grandmother, rather I did know, and she was the

51
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: one who really got involved with doing readings for people.

52
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: So I heard that, you know, she was very trusted

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: in her city or in her town. UM. So it's

54
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: hard to know. I mean, I don't know have a

55
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: lot to really judge by in my family history is

56
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: who might have been stronger than another? Did they ever

57
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: pass down stories from one to the other that you

58
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: could carry through? You know? The only thing that I

59
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: do have was given to me. And I have this

60
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: little picture of you know, and it was my grandmother

61
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: actually before she had passed, and she was maybe maybe

62
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: five years before she passed. And it's interesting because she

63
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: you have a picture of her, and she looks like

64
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: a gypsy. UM. And my mother used to joke about

65
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: it and say that that, you know, that was her

66
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: true self. She was very unique, that's what she said.

67
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: So the stories I got were always bits and pieces,

68
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: never never anything that was really concrete that I could say,

69
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: Um about spirits anyway, Now you've been with the New

70
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: England and Ghost Project, Maureen since two thousand one. What

71
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: is that? Uh? Well, Ron would do much better than

72
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: me to tell the story. But he started this story

73
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: after a mere death experience. Um. And he had to

74
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: you know, work and do a you know, a special

75
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: course or class that he took to try to keep

76
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: him busy when he was healing from his illness. Um.

77
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: And basically he started doing a cable Um. You know,

78
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: he started a cable program and during that cable program

79
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: he had to do it on something. So he chose

80
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, doing it a ghost at his workshop. And

81
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: again he'll do much better at explaining than I would. Um.

82
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: But it's a team of individuals that you know, over

83
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: the years I learned, you know, to me, everybody is

84
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: really you know, it's a great team of people. You

85
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: work really hard together. You go out and you look

86
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: for the things that go bump in the night. You know,

87
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: someone else doesn't really want to to want look into

88
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: that they're quite satisfied not knowing about the unknown, or

89
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: you have someone that really needs help. There's been many

90
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: calls over the years to run in the team. Um

91
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: that were you know businesses, um, you know families, you know,

92
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: you'd have restaurants, and they don't really want to to

93
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: uh out and tell the public all the time. This

94
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: is years ago. Theyn't want to tell the public that

95
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: something is going on that they can't explain, and people

96
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: were getting a little freaked out and they need help.

97
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: So it's really been a journey of love, I think

98
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: to go out and actually work because we're not paid.

99
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: You know, it's not something that we get to paid

100
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: to go out and do investigations for people. It's really

101
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: going there to just help them. How many people are

102
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: just off the wall when you go to their house,

103
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: they're they're just losing it, well off the wall meaning

104
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: terrified of spirits, off the wall, just crazy now terrified

105
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: his spirits. I guess, um, you know, as as it

106
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: says we've done more than a hundred investigations, um, I

107
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: would say that you know, not would we find something

108
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: active going on at the time. But we're big believers

109
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: to know that. You know, it doesn't always happen on command. Um. So,

110
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: I really believe that there are a lot of supernatural

111
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: things that are going on. Um If you're aware and

112
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: you're open to it, you might experience it. You know.

113
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: Some people say, well, I've never seen it and I

114
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: don't believe in that. Well, there's a good reason why

115
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: you don't see it. Um. So if you say how

116
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: many people, I say a good percentage of paranormal activity

117
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: does take place out there. And I would bet that

118
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: if you get a pole and you ask people on

119
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: the street, you get a good amount of you know,

120
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: maybe seventy percent of people have had some odd experience

121
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: that they can't really explain in their lives. What have

122
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: you concluded about what this may be? I mean a

123
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: lot of people have their thoughts about what ghosts are.

124
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: What do you think they are? Well, I think there

125
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: are varying degrees of what they could be. Right. So,

126
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: our experience, in my experience over the years has been

127
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: you know, if I do a reading for someone, for instance, UM,

128
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: I get more of a loving spirit someone that's passed

129
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: over that wants to communicate and come back and you know,

130
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: let their love one though they're okay, or maybe has

131
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: a message for them that they weren't able to give

132
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: before they passed. Um. But then you know, you're called

133
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: out to some locations where you know things aren't really

134
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: going well. Someone's gotten thrown down the stairs, items are

135
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: being tossed around the house. Um, there's different you know

136
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: events like say, you know, people walking by and then

137
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: they might see a spirit walk by and all these

138
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: plants just die as they're looking at them. Um. We

139
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: had one case of a woman who was living by

140
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: herself with the door you know door closed in her apartment,

141
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: and yet she was hit on the back of the

142
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: head with a baluster from the stairs. You know. All

143
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: these now, she'd have something go on to the oven,

144
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: Like she'd go to put potatoes and roll them in foil,

145
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: and she'd lay down and take an apple. They're cooking,

146
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: and yet they would a fire would start in her oven. Um,

147
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: it would wake her up with the alarms going off,

148
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: and she'd get up and look, and the potatoes underneath

149
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: on you know, on flames itself. So what do I think?

150
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: I think again, there's many different varying degrees of pterinormal

151
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: activity and not all of it. Just like you don't

152
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: have a person that's a nice doesn't mean that you're

153
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: going to have a spirit that's a you know, wonderful

154
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: and nice. That's not all fun and games then, is it? Oh? No,

155
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: I mean you think about it. You have someone who is,

156
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: let's say, not a very evil person. What if you

157
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: have a person like a murderer that's in prison and

158
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: they pass, do they immediately growing? I mean, it's you know,

159
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: there's just a lot of things to be aware of

160
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: when people go out and investigate in realizing that it's

161
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: it's not all just fluffy bunnies. Have you concluded, Maureen,

162
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: that there is a hell, that hell does exist? You know,

163
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: I personally don't believe. I mean, I was brought up Catholic. Um.

164
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes I believe if there is a hell in the

165
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: after life, it's because we created ourselves. Um, I don't

166
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: believe that. You know, there is necessarily a hell? Now? Interesting, Now,

167
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: what drives you? Why do you keep investigating? I don't.

168
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:21,119
Speaker 1: I investigate because I don't feel I can stop sometimes,

169
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: you know, I over the years, m I've mean, are

170
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: you like addicted to it? No? Not addicted to it.

171
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: But to me, when I'm you know, investigating, a lot

172
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: of times I'll use energy and expend energy when I'm

173
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: doing that. Um. And if I don't, I feel like,

174
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: sometimes if I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing,

175
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: my life kind of it's like wreaking havocs, right. Um,

176
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: It's like a build up of energy. And if I'm working,

177
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: I do a lot of technical work. I do a

178
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: lot of work on computers. Um. And occasionally when I

179
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: would go through those spans of time and not actually

180
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: use that energy, I would tend to fry a lot

181
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: of my electronics. Our friend Jeff Balango wrote the forward

182
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: to your book More Ghost Chronicles, and he of course

183
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: is the author of the World's Most Haunted Places. What

184
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: a great investigator he is, Maureen, Oh, he's fantastic. I

185
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: love Jeff and just a good guy, you know. I

188
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: a nice guy. He is. He's a nice guy. And

189
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: you know, I've met Jeff my boy, probably about fifteen

190
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: years ago. Um, and he always has a nice word.

191
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: He always works really hot at what he does, and

192
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: you know he believes in helping people, so that to
