But I 27 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: recently was doing some research on you, and I discovered 28 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: that your favorite scary movie is Halloween, and so is mine. 29 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 2: I've seen all the Halloween movies. I'm a big fan 30 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 2: of the eighties movies. 31 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: Like slasher movies. 32 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like, I like the eighties. I like Freddy 33 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,919 Speaker 2: Couger and Halloween and. 34 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: Yes, but I feel like I'm gonna make a quick 35 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: sou werenna seg go and see your story. But I 36 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: just feel like horror does not get is get is 37 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: what's the word accolades that it deserves because I feel 38 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: like horror has the best character development because each villain 39 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 1: has a really good backstory. 40 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 2: Yep, I strongly agree. And a good example of that 41 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 2: is that new movie Smile Too, which I didn't see 42 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: part one, but I don't really care for too well, No, 43 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: my friend, I didn't. 44 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: Really care for Smile Too. 45 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 2: Well. Here's the thing. I thought that actress was phenomenal. Yeah, 46 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: I think her name is Naomi. It's amazing actress, and 47 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 2: I was thinking, I was like, they don't give horror 48 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,839 Speaker 2: movies enough attention because this girl acted her ass off, 49 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 2: and they just it just kind of glossed over like 50 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 2: another horror movie. And so, yeah, I think it should 51 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 2: get more attention. 52 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: I think so too. But why do you think horror 53 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: is overlooked though? 54 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: I think people just don't take it seriously. There's a 55 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 2: lot of people that they don't want to see that gory, bloody, 56 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 2: dark storyline. They're oh, no, no, no, that's not my thing. No, no, no, 57 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 2: I think it's a lot of reasons, and so there's 58 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: just these you see, I think there's just a core 59 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 2: group that's yeah, horror movies, and so to me, that's 60 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 2: why it gets glossed over a lot. 61 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: Do you feel like your love for horror influence the 62 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: way you do your paranormal investigation and also being intitive medium. 63 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 2: No, it's it's interesting because I feel like I keep 64 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: it separate because a lot of people are like, oh, 65 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: you like horror movies, yes, do you like the Conjuring? 66 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: I'm like, I've never seen the Conjuring? Like no, They're like, 67 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: do you like paranormal activity. I'm like, I've never seen 68 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 2: paranormal activity. They actually really connect to the supernatural. Paranormal 69 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 2: I haven't really seen. I've just seen the little scary 70 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 2: horror slasher films. So it's very interesting. 71 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: See, I'm not gonna lie. I don't really care for 72 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: scary movies that incorporate religion, like lead God out of 73 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: this understand. Yeah, that'd be too much for me. Like, 74 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: I don't like stuff like that. And you got the Nuns. 75 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: See that movie with Glenn Close? 76 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: Which one is that one? 77 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 2: It just came out, the recent one? It's recent. It 78 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: came out I want to say, earlier this year and 79 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: it had Glenn Close in it and it's a true story. 80 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: Oh the Deliverance, that one that was on Netflix. Yes, 81 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: that was a little too much for me. 82 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 2: It was a lot to see. I normally nothing bothers me, 83 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: and I was just like la, la la. And I 84 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: was like, I don't know, uncomfortable. 85 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was too I'm like, come on now, like 86 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: we lead the guy, lead the Bible, leave all the 87 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: good stuff, the Holy Father Trinity like. 88 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 2: Im Yeah, And I rarely feel uncomfortable for movies like that. 89 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: I was like, I don't want to see this ever. Again, 90 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 2: it's weird story. The true story too. 91 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. You know what's so funny. I was 92 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: actually looking for the lady because it's actually a black family, 93 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: and I feel like they just like disappeared. 94 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 2: I don't blame them, just from the backstory that this 95 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 2: is not something that's typical in the black community. It 96 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 2: is something that I do believe and that you know 97 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 2: that happened to them, and they don't want anything to 98 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: do with it. And I mean, I know Zach Began's 99 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 2: from Ghost Adventures interviewed them. I don't know how he 100 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 2: pulled that interview off. I did read his book, and 101 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,679 Speaker 2: I think he had mentioned it was it was hard 102 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: trying to get them to like come and talk with 103 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 2: him and be interviewed. 104 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: Image. 105 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so I could see why they they would 106 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 2: have disappeared and you. 107 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: Can't find me, Yeah, because they have no digital footprint 108 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: at all. 109 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 2: I don't want anything to do with it. 110 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: And then some man he was he bought the house 111 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: and he was living in there and then he went 112 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: blind and he got on fire. I'm like, why would 113 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: you want to live in there? 114 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 2: Oh? That part I didn't know about. Yeah, it's yeah, 115 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 2: that place. And then just a side note. A few 116 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 2: weeks ago, I went to Las Vegas and zach begans 117 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: Haunted Museum. He has the stairs from the basement and nothing. 118 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: It just at the very end of the tour, and 119 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 2: he did they give you the option if you want 120 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 2: to stay in the room and look at it or leave. 121 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 2: And I stayed in the room. But I was just like, 122 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 2: this is creepy. I was. I was okay, but yeah, 123 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 2: an he when everyone wants to come close to that 124 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 2: story and see he has those stairs. 125 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: So yo, you a different type niggaive by the stairs. 126 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: You by the stairs, like, I'm not doing that. 127 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 2: Well, yep, he bought the stairs. Did you feel anything 128 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: not in that room? But oh, man, I gotta tell you, 129 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 2: if you ever do go to Vegas, I would suggest 130 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: you go to that museum because you can choose what 131 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: rooms you want to go in. So you're just like, yeah, no, 132 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 2: that's not happening. My sister she didn't want to go 133 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 2: in the room with this doll. They have a doll 134 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 2: that they said don't look her in the eyes. Who 135 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 2: wants to go in? She was like, I'm not dealing 136 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 2: with that. She's stayed in the hallway. I was like, 137 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 2: I'll go. But again it was because I'm I think 138 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 2: as a spiritualist, and as we go through the interview, 139 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 2: I'm very grounded and I'm very in control to where 140 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 2: I'm not someone that's like I see spirit everywhere. It's 141 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 2: not like that I live, you know, I'm very controlled. 142 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: And so I was like, cool, I want air, but 143 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 2: you know, and to kind of feel that energy in 144 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 2: that room with that doll a lot of energy. He 145 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 2: also has Jack Kavorkian's van. What's that? Who's that? Ooh? 146 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 2: Please google that when you when you're done. It's a 147 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 2: it's a man from I want to say thirty years ago. 148 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 2: He used to do assistant suicides. But these are people 149 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 2: that wanted to they wanted to die, and so but 150 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 2: he was kind of condemned in the media. And it's 151 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 2: funny because I remember being little around the time and 152 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,679 Speaker 2: hearing about it. But he was condemned in the media, 153 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 2: and they have the van that he used to do 154 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 2: the suicides. In that room, I was like, no, Like 155 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: I felt really lightheaded, and I was like and we 156 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 2: were in there for like five minutes. I was like, 157 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 2: I gotta get out of here. But yeah, there's a 158 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: few things in that museum which made me uncomfortable. But 159 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 2: it's an interesting museum. That's why I tell people. I'm like, 160 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 2: it's it's spooky, but he does have a lot of 161 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 2: cool things in there, especially if you like the paranormal. 162 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: See that's the thing. I love watching scary shit. But 163 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: I can't experience Like I couldn't do that museum even 164 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: if I wanted to. I'm like, nah, this is too much. 165 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 2: My sister, yeah, she did it, and then towards the 166 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: end she was trying to leave. She was like, I 167 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 2: gotta get out of here. I was like, wait, just way, 168 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 2: it's almost over. She's like it's too much, and she 169 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 2: was like, I'm glad that gives me the option if 170 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 2: I can go in certain Yeah. 171 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: Could you imagine if you have to go in to exit? 172 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Like nope, nope, no, but no, I hear you. 173 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 2: Some people are just like no, way, too much. And 174 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 2: it is a lot of energy in that space because 175 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: of all the stuff he has. 176 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: And I feel energy. So if I feel something crazy, 177 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: I would run at that damn house. Like that's like, 178 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: we're not saying this. 179 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: Yep, You're like I'm out by. 180 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: I'm out, So do you believe that everyone has intuitive 181 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: or psychic gifts to some degree? 182 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 2: I think that everyone is. I believe that everyone's sensitive. However, 183 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 2: some are more open than others. So for example, like 184 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 2: I have a friend who is She's like, I'm not 185 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 2: a psychic, I'm not a medium. However, she can pick 186 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 2: up things, and I'm like, okay, you're a good example 187 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 2: to where she's sensitive. She identifies that. She's like, yeah, 188 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 2: I can kind of sense if I'm uncomfortable, you know, 189 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 2: And she's like, I could pick up on things, but 190 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 2: it's not something that she wants to do professionally. So yeah, 191 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 2: I believe that people are sensitive. But then there are 192 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 2: some people that just completely closed off to it and 193 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 2: they just aren't aware at all. But again, it's just 194 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 2: my opinion. 195 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: I feel like everybody is so spiritually woke. So do 196 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: you feel like everybody's making up to their spiritual gifts 197 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: or I do. 198 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 2: I think, especially within the last i'm gonna say ten 199 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 2: or so years, I've seen it happen a lot more 200 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 2: where and I'm actually in that boat because I wasn't 201 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 2: doing this like six or seven years ago at all. 202 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 2: I've always been a paranormal investigator. I've been very interested 203 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 2: in the paranormal. I've been doing that for fifteen years. 204 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 2: But the intuitive aspect came out of nowhere where I 205 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 2: was just minding my business, enjoying life in New Orleans, 206 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 2: and I was getting information in one room and I 207 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 2: was like, why it was little things. I was like, 208 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 2: it was doing an investigation and they were saying that 209 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 2: the room we were in. They were like, it's hunted 210 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 2: by a nun and she died and just a big 211 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 2: elaborate story, right, And I'm sitting there and I was like, 212 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 2: I feel like there's a lady. I feel like she 213 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 2: has brown hair. Like it was just coming to me, 214 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 2: and I was like a download, yeah, And I was like, 215 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 2: she's twenty five and she was a nurse. She killed herself, 216 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 2: Like it was just and I was like, where's this 217 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 2: coming around? I never forgot that because that was the 218 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: first moment where I was getting that downloaded information. And 219 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 2: then later another investigator told the group like, oh my god, 220 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 2: we found out about a nurse who died here and 221 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 2: she was twenty six, and I remember it was one 222 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 2: year off from what I picked. I was like, hmm, 223 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 2: he's like and then she committed to it and it 224 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 2: was connecting. And that was the moment where I said, Okay, 225 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 2: is there so many deeper here? Like you know and 226 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 2: so yeah to me where she just said, like it's 227 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 2: this spiritual awakening where it's not just myself, it's a 228 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 2: lot of people. But it does feel like it's more 229 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 2: in recent years that this is all happening. 230 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: What does it feel like when you receive a download? 231 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 2: So there's different ways that people get information, so we 232 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 2: call it the Claires. So the Claire so Claire sentient 233 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 2: is when they can someone can feel a certain way 234 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 2: where they're like they go into a place they're like, 235 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 2: oh I feel sick, I don't know about this space, 236 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 2: feel like really relaxed. So that's Claire sentient. Then there's 237 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 2: Claire audience. If I was Claire Audien, I would check 238 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 2: into a mental hospital, but right it, I was like 239 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 2: I wouldn't hear anything. So that's when you hear stuff. 240 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 2: Then there's Claire cognizant, where it just comes to you 241 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 2: you just so like one time I was talking to 242 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 2: one girl and I said, are you from New York? 243 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 2: And she's like, but you how do you know that? 244 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 2: I was like I don't know it just it just 245 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 2: came to me. So some people are that. And then 246 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 2: there's clairevoyant, which is what I am. So clairevoyant is 247 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 2: like I see it. It plays out for me like 248 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 2: a movie in my head. So if I told you 249 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 2: imagine a waterfall, that's how it looks to me. Where 250 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 2: some people are like, wait, do you actually see somebody? 251 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 2: I'm like no, I if I actually physically saw somebody, 252 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 2: I again checked myself into a mental hospital. I don't 253 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 2: see things. I don't hear things. It's just all intuitive. 254 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 2: And so it plays out for a movie like me 255 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 2: and for me, so like when I was in New Orleans, 256 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 2: the movie in my head was of female or brown hair. Yeah, 257 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 2: and it tells a story. And that's kind of how 258 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 2: I teach. When I teach intuition classes, it's like, okay, 259 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 2: which one is your gift? Which one? Like how are 260 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 2: you getting this information? Because everyone's different. So I just 261 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 2: heard the word this and that or I felt this, 262 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 2: and I'm like that's that's that's good. Let's develop on that. 263 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, while you was talking, I was thinking, like, yo, 264 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: it's kind of cool because it in a sense, it 265 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,479 Speaker 1: sounds like a memory. 266 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how it feels. That's literally kind of how 267 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 2: I see it. And so someone's like, do you think 268 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 2: I'm gonna get fired? And then I'll kind of just 269 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 2: take a second and then play to play out for me, 270 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 2: and I'm like, and I'll see people and I'm like, 271 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 2: who's so and so. So that's and it's I like 272 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 2: that it plays out that way because again, there's some 273 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 2: people that get they hear and then they feel feel 274 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 2: I can do the clar sentient to Usually when I 275 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 2: do investigations, I don't like it too much because I'm 276 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 2: not one to be manipulated to where I'm walking into 277 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 2: a haunted place. I'm like, oh, I feel sick, Like 278 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 2: I hate that. Like no, so I'm like, yeah, yeah, 279 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 2: I turned myself off too. I'm like nope, but yeah, 280 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 2: it's it's kind of cool. And that's actually why I 281 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 2: like teaching, because I like people to identify how are 282 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 2: they receiving that information? 283 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,719 Speaker 1: Because yeah, so what inspired this shift? Because if I'm 284 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: not mistaken twenty years ago, you usuppress your gifts and 285 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: like you said, two or three years ago, you just 286 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: put yourself back out there. 287 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it started when I was little. So I grew 288 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 2: up in a Crenshaw district in Los Angeles from the 289 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 2: hood too, Oh I'm from yeah, yeah, I grew up 290 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 2: on Western Vernon Crenshaw, like that is where I lived. 291 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: And boos and cribs and spirits shop. 292 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 2: Oh yes, oh yes. I just a side note, like 293 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 2: I remember the riots, Like I remember my sister walk 294 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 2: with me and my brother was really little, and one 295 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 2: of the stores was on fire, like around the corner 296 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 2: from our I lived in the yeah and so yeah, 297 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 2: and just being there. I remember one night I woke 298 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 2: up and I saw a blonde hair, blue eye girl 299 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 2: standing over my sister and dressed in period clothing like not. 300 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 2: And I was like, that's there would not be a 301 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 2: blonde hair girl in the Limbert Park area. What's happening? 302 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 2: And I remember being like, let me just make sure 303 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 2: I'm not losing. And I covered my eyes and I 304 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 2: looked at it and she was still there. What do 305 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 2: you think I look? She was, I was long, she 306 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 2: was just like from memory, she was just standing over her. 307 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 2: I don't know, like I'm gonna be honest, because I 308 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 2: was like eleven or twelve, and she I looked the 309 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 2: third time and she was still there, and that's why 310 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 2: I said this day, I believe what I saw because 311 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 2: she was still there. But then I think I was 312 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 2: like moving and she started to fade away. And so 313 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 2: that's actually the only time that I could physically see 314 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 2: in my life. I've never seen anything else. It's always 315 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 2: been intuitive. But that was when I was like, yeah, 316 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 2: not cool, don't like it. This is uncomfortable. Didn't tell 317 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 2: my mom. I told my sister years ago, years later, 318 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 2: and she was like, why didn't you tell me? I 319 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 2: was like, you think you would, you wouldn't. 320 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: Have a crazy girl. 321 00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a white girl in the house. Like what 322 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 2: do you have believed? 323 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: Right? 324 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 2: Right? Yeah? And then I saw something else a few 325 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 2: years later, like in the bathroom. I saw like it 326 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 2: was like something floating and white. And that's when I 327 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 2: was like, you know what, No, no, man, I'm uncomfortable. 328 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 2: I don't like this, and yeah, went away. I was 329 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 2: praying about it. Went away for twenty plus years, and 330 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 2: then I was I found myself very interested in the paranormal, 331 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,479 Speaker 2: and this could be anything. I was interested in. Aliens, UFOs, 332 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 2: cryptis are like bigfoots, we call chipocabras, things like that. 333 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 2: I was interested, but I was terrified of it. And 334 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 2: so whenever people ask about like my backstory, I always say, 335 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 2: my friends will laugh at me because I'm actually terrified 336 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 2: of the paranormal. I'm scared of it's a it's a fear. 337 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: Of mine, which was so crazy to me. 338 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 2: But that's why I decided to learn everything I could, 339 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 2: because I was like, you know what, people are scared 340 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 2: of what they don't know? Ye hear what they have? Yeah, 341 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 2: And I was like, let me just learn what I can. 342 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 2: And I studied on it, red on it. I joined 343 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 2: the paranorm Normal Team. I learned every even how to 344 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 2: do the ghost hunting tools. I did it for a 345 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 2: different reason, like a lot of people are just like 346 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 2: I like scary stuff. I like history, and I like 347 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 2: learning about people from the past and also just telling 348 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 2: their stories and bringing it to life. That's why I 349 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 2: do the paranormal. As an investigator. I don't do dark 350 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 2: I don't do demons. I don't do none of that. 351 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 2: Absolutely not. If someone's like, there's a demon in my house, 352 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, good luck. So that's kind of like 353 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 2: my backstory. So it's the paranormal research. Investigating started about 354 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 2: fifteen years ago, whereas the intuitive aspect the year was 355 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 2: that six seven years ago. And then I just said, 356 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 2: you know what, if you're gonna do this, you better 357 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 2: be damn good because there's nobody else that really looks 358 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 2: like you in the spiritual field. Every class, Yeah, take 359 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 2: every class you can, and I did. I worked with 360 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 2: some of the best people in the world. And my 361 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 2: mentor is Lisa Williams, who has she had her own 362 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 2: TV show years ago and she's incredible, and I worked 363 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 2: with her personally and I became one of her master teachers. 364 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 2: I'm one of her No, I am her only African 365 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 2: American master teacher in the world. She only has like 366 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 2: fifty of them that sertifight with her directly, and yeah, 367 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 2: that's kind of like my claim to fame is just 368 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 2: being able to work with her and learning everything I 369 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 2: can from her. And to be honest, she's one of 370 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 2: the reasons why Lily Dale even saw me, because she 371 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 2: was like, here's Tonny, she's amazing as she's black. Here 372 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 2: you go and it's like, oh and so they and 373 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 2: they see that and they always ask me back every year, 374 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 2: which is a big deal. You know. 375 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: It's so crazy because it's just dawn on me because 376 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 1: during Spooky Series I talked to like either psychics or 377 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: paranormal investigators or you know, people that work in the industry, 378 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,239 Speaker 1: especially black people. But one of the things that they 379 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: always say, or the common thread between all of our 380 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: stories is one minute, you just you just see something. 381 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: It just appears. So do you think that spirits are 382 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: on the people who aren't actively looking for them, but 383 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: the spirit knows that person has a gift. 384 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 2: That's a good question, actually right, Yes, yes and no. 385 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say mostly yes because there are people trying 386 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 2: to think of I want to give you an example. 387 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 2: There aren't. Okay, it's an example. I'd bring up my 388 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 2: sister again. She's a psychic, but she's a denying psychic. 389 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 2: She's like, I don't see, I don't hear, leave me alone. 390 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 2: I don't believe in any of this. However, she's very gifted, 391 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 2: and whenever we go somewhere it could be anything the hotel, 392 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 2: a nursing home, she's like, there's somebody behind me, and 393 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 2: she's like yes, She's like I know, and I'm like, 394 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 2: of course there's someone behind you because they know that 395 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 2: you're gifted. She's like, no, no, and so I so yes, 396 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,959 Speaker 2: say answer your question is like she is somebody that 397 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 2: she just has that energy or that light to where 398 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 2: there may be spirits that are like I think she 399 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,719 Speaker 2: can see me or feel me, feel me, and then 400 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 2: they kind of like are in her space where luckily 401 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 2: she's able to completely she's she doesn't want to be 402 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 2: aware to eventually just go away. But if she was aware, 403 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 2: oh my god, she'd probably be surrounded. And so I 404 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 2: say yes, so yes, I believe that there are some 405 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 2: people where that does happen, but then there are some 406 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 2: people where it doesn't. Like me, I'm very closed off 407 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 2: when I'm not doing this work because of training, I've 408 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 2: learned to literally it sounds stupid, but turn to switch on. Okay, 409 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do my readings or intuitive turn it off? 410 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: How do you do that? Like you just like, what's 411 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: the process, Like. 412 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 2: It's you know what. I've had different teachers that teach 413 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 2: different ways, where there was one teacher that literally said, 414 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 2: imagine a light switch, turn it on, turn it off. 415 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 2: It sounds simple, but I was like, hm, I'm gonna 416 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 2: try that. There's another teacher that said, think of it 417 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 2: like closing a window, opening a window. And so with 418 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 2: my years of development, I would say, just have your 419 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: own method for me. I literally just it's it's hard 420 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 2: to explained. My energy is just turned off. I'm not 421 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 2: thinking of a light switch, I'm not thinking of a window. 422 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 2: I'm just me. I'm just doing my life. I'm working, 423 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 2: I'm doing my job. If I'm doing an investigation, I'm 424 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 2: just like, Okay, Intuitively, I'm hoping, I'm ready. Okay, let's 425 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 2: see what's here, Let's see what's going on. And it 426 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 2: sounds a little complicated to explain, but it's worked for me. 427 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 2: Whereas you know, you see people that are like something's 428 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 2: following me, or I'm uncomfortable. That's never never happened to me. 429 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 2: I'm fine. I don't have anything weird happen to me. 430 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 2: I don't have things talking to me. It doesn't work 431 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 2: like that. And so, but yeah, hard to explain, but 432 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 2: it is with development. If someone's listening, that's you know, 433 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 2: learning more about their own development. It takes time to 434 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 2: get to that point to where you're like controlled. 435 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, so are there any other gifts or abilities that 436 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,239 Speaker 1: you have that you don't use? Because I know one 437 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 1: of the things that you said in one of your 438 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: other interviews that you don't like doing past readings or 439 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: past life readings. 440 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, A few people told me that I'm pretty good 441 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 2: at it. And it sounds crazy because you could be like, 442 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,239 Speaker 2: are you just making stuff up? You know? Whereas what 443 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 2: I did was when I would practice it, I would 444 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 2: connect it. I would somehow connect it to something in 445 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 2: their current life, to where the sitter was like impressive, Okay, 446 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 2: you wouldn't know that. How would you know that? You know? 447 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 2: We're like a good example is I read someone years 448 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,719 Speaker 2: ago and I was connected to her legs or something. 449 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 2: I was like, I feel like you were I forgot 450 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 2: what I told her A man in a village and 451 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 2: you had to use canes and you couldn't walk it all. 452 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 2: I think your legs are And she's like, you can 453 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 2: see her eyes now, And I said, what's going on? 454 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 2: She says, when I was a child, I couldn't walk, 455 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 2: and I was like interesting. So it's little things like that, 456 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 2: and so technically I can. I believe I can do 457 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 2: past life readings. However, it's not like a specialty where 458 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 2: I talk about it. To be honest with you, I 459 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 2: find joy after developing and learning everything I could about paranormal. 460 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 2: I find joy in doing investigations and then doing research, 461 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,239 Speaker 2: So you go on my pages. I don't have ti 462 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 2: cycond readings into readings. Yeah, I don't do it. And 463 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 2: I knew that when I was developing. My friends are like, 464 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 2: wait a minute, you're doing all this development. You're not 465 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 2: going to be a full time psyche. I was like, 466 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 2: it's not. It's cool, but it doesn't give me joy. 467 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 2: And if a friend emails me or text me and 468 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 2: the life I need a reading. I just met a guy, 469 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 2: I will gladly do it. I will never say no, 470 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 2: it's just I don't know if I want to be 471 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 2: that full time person. That's like that is my job 472 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 2: and so. But no, it gives me. I really enjoy 473 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 2: the paranormal aspect of this. 474 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and do you still see orrs around people? 475 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 2: I can, but it's against like not a specialty. When 476 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 2: I was a child, Oh my gosh, I sometimes want 477 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 2: to press for wine and go back to that because 478 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 2: I didn't know what was going on. A vivid like 479 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 2: vividly and we my brother just thought it was a game. 480 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 2: I'd been like, oh, stand against the wall, you're green, 481 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 2: and it would just be colors emitting around him or 482 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 2: to the you're purple, and I was like, oh, I 483 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 2: was like, I was seeing ours a little kid, and 484 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 2: he said, he said, you're younger than me. He was too, 485 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 2: and he was like, I wonder if that means I'm psychic. 486 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 2: I said, you might be, but see he's in another 487 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 2: path in life. But it was just like a common 488 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 2: He's like, I wonder if I'm psyche because I could 489 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,959 Speaker 2: see him too, but I think he couldn't see them 490 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 2: as strong as I could. And so I tell people 491 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,479 Speaker 2: that auras are just energy. It's all about energy and 492 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 2: reading people. And everyone has their own interpretation of what 493 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 2: the aura color is. And so let's say you saw 494 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 2: blue around me. For me, blue means communication, it means somehow, 495 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 2: cause mean like father connection, whereas for you, blue can 496 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 2: mean something else like school or someone with an attitude 497 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 2: or whatever. You know. So when I teach about auras, 498 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 2: it's like, what did these colors mean to you? And so, yeah, 499 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 2: I that was cool thinking about the ras when I 500 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 2: was younger. 501 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: And not me asking you it's my color. Oh oh 502 00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: you can see him. 503 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 2: It's intuitive. It's the claiicolance. You have a few. Actually, 504 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 2: the first the first one that popped up for you 505 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 2: was purple. So for purple, that means for me, it's 506 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 2: like queen energy, It's all okay, it's okay, queen energy, 507 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 2: intuition royalty meaning not like you are like the Queen 508 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 2: of England, but you could be to be treated. You 509 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,959 Speaker 2: want to be treated like the queen that you are. Also, 510 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 2: you not high maintenance, but you expect I am. 511 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: I am. 512 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 2: Oh, you know what, I probably worried it wrong. I 513 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 2: wanted to say, not a nasty type of high maintenance, 514 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,239 Speaker 2: like you know what you deserve, you know, like I 515 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 2: know what I need. And let's say you're dating someone 516 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 2: you're very much like he's like, I'm trying to think 517 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 2: of an example, like you're he's like, I'm gonna get 518 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 2: you McDonald's. You're like that, We're not No, Yeah, I 519 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 2: feel like you're you're you hold yourself in high regard. 520 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 2: There we go. But then I also saw red and 521 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 2: read for me is someone who doesn't play around, and 522 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 2: so someone's poking you or bothering you. Come on people professional, 523 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 2: You're very professional. But if someone pokes, pokes, pokes, I 524 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 2: feel like there's a side of you that doesn't come 525 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 2: out very often where they're like, yeah, you're just like okay, 526 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 2: and then you revert back to the professional side. So yeah, 527 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 2: that's what I and yellow, which is for me, yellow 528 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 2: is education. Someone is very very smart. That could have 529 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 2: been a teacher. I don't know if you are a teacher, 530 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 2: but you could. You could be. You're very good at 531 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,360 Speaker 2: explaining things and people will listen to you. But yeah, 532 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 2: those are the three colors I see. That's so cool, 533 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 2: damn much. 534 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: I can see what you see. 535 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 2: It's all it's for like, in my head, I can 536 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 2: It's like I'm looking at you now and then on 537 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 2: top of your head, I just see like and it's 538 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 2: literally energy, just energy kind of floating. And then I 539 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 2: saw the purple and then I saw the red like that, 540 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 2: it just floats. It's pretty cool. Okay, cool. 541 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: Now do you think that children are more spiritually open? 542 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: And if so, why do you think most people lose 543 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: that connection as they get older, because I always feel 544 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: like it starts off when a person as a child. 545 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 2: Yep, children are absolutely more spiritually connected. They can see spirit, 546 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 2: they can hear spirit. There's some videos on TikTok that 547 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 2: have to send you from people where you see a 548 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 2: kid clearly talking to somebody that's not there, and the 549 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 2: parents like what is going on? And so, yes, they 550 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 2: can see, they can hear, they can feel. It's interesting 551 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 2: because I think back to when I was a toddler. 552 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 2: Maybe I did not that I don't know, and my 553 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 2: mom will never tell me. She doesn't believe in any 554 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 2: of this. But yes, I believe kids are susceptible, and 555 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 2: then as they get older they tend to lose it. 556 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 2: It's just because they are now exposed to the world 557 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 2: and people worping them with crab and bullshit and tea. Yeah, 558 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 2: you really start to forget about that innocent, precious time 559 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 2: where they were younger and more connected to God and 560 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 2: so that. Yeah, I definitely think kids are very As 561 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 2: a matter of fact, I shouldn't say this, but it's okay. 562 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 2: For my day job. They know that I do paranormal 563 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 2: and they tell one of the employees had said, hey, Tani, 564 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 2: there's there's kids that have said because it's camps, the 565 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 2: kids that have said that they think they see a 566 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 2: ghost in the bathroom. And I was like, really, like, yeah, 567 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 2: they said that, And I remember thinking to myself and 568 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 2: it didn't go further than that, but I was thinking, like, yeah, 569 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 2: I'm sure they did. So these are like kids. I'm 570 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 2: sure they're like, oh, there's someone in here, and they're 571 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 2: probably talking to him. So yes, definitely kids are susceptible. 572 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: I just think it's so interesting how like, like we 573 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: think we're the only beings in the world, and we 574 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: are surrounded by so many other things that we just 575 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 1: possibly just can't. 576 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 2: See at all. Surrounded the galaxies are just so deep, 577 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 2: and I see videos about the one hundred light years 578 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 2: away we found a planet with all water? Could there 579 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 2: be life? Like, of course there's life, but yes, I agree. 580 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: So how did your mom, with her being a non believer, 581 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: how did that impact you on your journey? 582 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 2: It was fine. She she goes back and forth where 583 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 2: like I see her watching shows with psycho growing up 584 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 2: shows the psychic medium things, or I'll see her like 585 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 2: there's an interest, but then she's like, oh, you know. 586 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 2: Her attitude was I need to see it to believe it. 587 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 2: That was always her attitude. And then when I first 588 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 2: started doing learning more about paranor paranormal and developing my 589 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 2: spiritual gifts, I remember sitting down and being like, so, yeah, 590 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 2: apparently a teacher said that I'm a medium, and she 591 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 2: just kind of looked at me, and I was like, 592 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 2: I was like, so, I just wanted you to be 593 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 2: aware because I think I'm gonna like dive and learn, 594 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 2: dive in and learn more about it.

I would shake their hands during 658 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 2: the interviews, and when I would shake their hand, I 659 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 2: would get a download of information about them, and I 660 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 2: was always right. So like there was one girl years ago, 661 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 2: fifteen years ago, I shook her hand and something said 662 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 2: always late, doesn't hold herself accountable, don't trust her. Yeah, 663 00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 2: And I was just like, interview was awesome, she was dumb. 664 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: The ones Okay, she was great. 665 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 2: She As a matter of fact, I think she was 666 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 2: black ways of years ago, and I remember being like, 667 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 2: she's I want to hire you know everything I came 668 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 2: it was horrible, and I anyway, that kept happening. That 669 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 2: kept happening, and it happened countless times. I'm gonna say 670 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 2: more than fifteen twenty times just over the years I 671 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 2: worked there, hiring people, and I was like, is it 672 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 2: just me? Or am I giving in to the So 673 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 2: then at the time I would say, as a joke, 674 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 2: cause I was young, I'd be like, I have a 675 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 2: hidden trick. I could shake your hand and know things 676 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 2: about you. But at the time, being young, I didn't realize, 677 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 2: oh girl, you're intuitive, like hello, right, so like really yeah, 678 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 2: shake your hand or no. So I was just picking 679 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 2: up on their energy and so that so yes, going 680 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 2: being younger and not being at the time, I wasn't 681 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 2: tapped in the paranormal, I wasn't tapped in the spirituality. 682 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 2: I was just being me. I was getting information about people. 683 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: But is it hard for you to differentiate between your 684 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: thoughts and what you receive intuitively? 685 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say I'm gonna say no. But it's only 686 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 2: because of that development. And the question you're asking is 687 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 2: so perfect because there's so many people that are new 688 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 2: to the spiritual side of themselves, right and they're like 689 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 2: they don't know, and it's like it took years. I 690 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 2: think I started developing this in like late twenty eighteen, 691 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 2: and that I took it seriously. I was like, am 692 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna really do it, and 693 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 2: I'm gonna take it seriously, and I'm gonna make sure 694 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 2: that I understand every aspect of this. And so yeah, 695 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 2: I feel that I'm able to differentiate, like, Okay, this 696 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 2: is me, Okay, wait, what you know? This is something different. 697 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 2: I can tell if when I'm an investigation, if I'm 698 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 2: actually feeling or seeing someone intuitively, or if I'm making 699 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 2: the double I can usually tell the difference. Another one 700 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 2: that's really hard for people. I get asked a lot 701 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 2: is can you tell between a loved one and a ghost? 702 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 2: That's hard to explain, but yes, you know, it's a 703 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 2: good question. It's hard. Yeah. Years ago, my friend he 704 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 2: said that he felt like his house was haunted. And 705 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 2: I went and I was like, wait a minute, whose 706 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 2: house is this? And he said, oh, it's my aunts. 707 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 2: I said, she passed. Yes, so it wasn't a ghost, 708 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,800 Speaker 2: it was her. She was just visiting. She was visiting. 709 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 2: I was like, she will see make sure her house 710 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 2: is clean up. But you know, so that was a 711 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 2: good I was telling that example when teaching because they're like, 712 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 2: I can't tell. It's just I felt love with him 713 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 2: because he was there. I felt love, I felt normalcy. 714 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 2: I could see how she was dressed, and I was 715 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 2: just like, oh, this is a present day woman that 716 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 2: just wanted to come, Whereas if you were in a location, 717 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,280 Speaker 2: I'm like, that person's dressed from like the nineteen sixties. 718 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 2: You know, like what is going on? Or it's a 719 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 2: different type of feel or different type of energy. Is 720 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 2: it something dark? Is it something happy? Is it something 721 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 2: you know? It's different ways. And so there's a lot 722 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 2: that goes into this development, and that's also just a 723 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 2: side conversation where there's so many psychic mediums that have 724 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 2: no idea what they're doing and they just did a 725 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 2: drop in and they're like, I'm a psychic, I'm charging 726 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 2: two hundred dollars an hour and they don't know what 727 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:02,839 Speaker 2: the hell they are doing. 728 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: I don't see how people are still getting scammed. 729 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 2: In five Yeah, so many, And that's why I'm like, 730 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 2: please learn. That's why I say develop a lot of them, like, 731 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,760 Speaker 2: please develop, Please learn about this before you just jump 732 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 2: into this work, because it's it's not something to be 733 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 2: taken lightly, especially if you're doing it professionally full time, 734 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 2: because people will listen to every single word that you say, 735 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 2: anything you say about their career, their job or SORR, 736 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 2: their love life or family life. So just want to 737 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 2: make sure people are ethical when doing this work. 738 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:40,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, now, because you got my wheels turning. So when 739 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: we have all these spirits that surrounded us, why do 740 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: you think that they're not either in heaven or hell. 741 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 2: There's different reasons, And when I do investigations, it's like 742 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 2: the most typical reason is their attached to property. That 743 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 2: is their property, that is their item. It could be 744 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 2: a bed, it could be a necklace. It's just there. 745 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,320 Speaker 2: They want to stay with the item are which is 746 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 2: kind of sad. Some of them are just waiting for 747 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,760 Speaker 2: someone and they don't realize that that person they're waiting 748 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 2: for has crossed over. So it's a lot of different reasons. 749 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 2: A good one, which is oh really interesting, actually is 750 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 2: in Las Vegas there's a insurance company that used to 751 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 2: belong to Red Fox. It was his house. He got 752 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 2: his like a because we all know how popular he was. 753 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 2: His biggest check he bought that property and that was 754 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 2: his damn property. And he made that very very clear. 755 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 2: He was very proud of it because I'm thinking he 756 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 2: came from nothing, from memory and the irs. I think 757 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 2: they took everything in like nineteen ninety or some we 758 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 2: give researched this, but they took everything, and at the 759 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 2: time he was just like, this is my stup, blah 760 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah. Anyway, he died and he was 761 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 2: haunting the hell out of that house. I think he 762 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 2: still does. I would love to know. They're very an 763 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 2: insurance compan owns it, so they're very much like yes, 764 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 2: staying why, Like they don't make people who interviews are investigations. 765 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,720 Speaker 2: I'm like, and I investigated, please, but it is known 766 00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 2: in the in the nineties, in the early two thousand 767 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 2: that the location was very, very haunted. But they say 768 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 2: it's him and he's not happy yet because they've had 769 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 2: psychics going there and they're like, he's upset because of 770 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,399 Speaker 2: the renovations and that things were moved. And so that's 771 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 2: a good example where it just depends on the situation 772 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 2: with him. That is his house and he is not 773 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,879 Speaker 2: one of money in there messing anything up. That's how 774 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 2: he sees it. 775 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,840 Speaker 1: But I want to do the spirit like makes the 776 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,800 Speaker 1: agreement that they're not ready to move on, because I'm like, 777 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 1: how does that work? I mean, I don't want to 778 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 1: find out. God, no time soon. 779 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 2: But it's different reasons, and you know, like another another 780 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 2: example is in Gettysburg exactly a year ago. I was 781 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 2: with my sister and we were doing an investigation and 782 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,279 Speaker 2: we came across a soldier and she was she was 783 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,359 Speaker 2: freaked out because I remember she kind of a skeptic, and 784 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,760 Speaker 2: she asked on that spear box, she says, who's the president? Clear? 785 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 2: Is that you hear him say? President Lincoln? She was like, 786 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:54,359 Speaker 2: I'm done I've got I've got where see with him, 787 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 2: I don't think he knew he was dead. 788 00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: And that's another thing. Yeah, I had this this other 789 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,879 Speaker 1: pair investigating and she's just like you, you actually follow 790 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 1: each other. Shout out to Melissa. But she Yeah, she 791 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,279 Speaker 1: was saying, how a lot of times, a lot of 792 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:09,839 Speaker 1: these people don't even know that they did. 793 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they a lot. So it just depends like 794 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 2: you have some that don't know, some that do know, 795 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 2: some that they just they don't want to leave a 796 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 2: lot of different things, and so like some psychics, they 797 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 2: are able to try to cross them over. I actually 798 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,800 Speaker 2: don't do that. My mentor gets mad at me about that. 799 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 2: She wanted me to be able to if I go 800 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,240 Speaker 2: into a location, there is somebody that's like, I'm waiting 801 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 2: for my father who passed fifty sixty years ago, to 802 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,279 Speaker 2: get them to move over, move across on And I 803 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 2: don't really Yes, so I have a thought about it. 804 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 2: I just feel like I don't know if it's my place, 805 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 2: I don't know. If I don't know, that's just my feeling. 806 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 2: I'm just like, no, don't really do that. I feel 807 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,399 Speaker 2: like if you questioned it for you, yeah, see, yeah, 808 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 2: I was just like, I'd rather just investigate and tell 809 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 2: the story. I don't feel like making them leave if 810 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 2: they don't want to leave. It is what it is. 811 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: So yeah, so how did you get into this field? 812 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,800 Speaker 1: Because I know he said, you've been doing paranormal investigation 813 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,279 Speaker 1: fifteen years ago, So like, what was that experience of 814 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 1: experience like, because I do feel like one of the 815 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,960 Speaker 1: biggest misconceptions is there's not a lot of black people 816 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,839 Speaker 1: in this I mean they it's still white dominated. Yeah, 817 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: but I feel like the brownies are here in there though. 818 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I just like I said earlier, it's just 819 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 2: it was intriguing to me, and you know, I was 820 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 2: like scared of UFOs, but I was like, I'm gonna 821 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 2: learn everything about it. And then I would do a 822 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,319 Speaker 2: lot of ghost tours and the first team I got 823 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 2: I became a part of. I did so many of 824 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 2: his ghost tours and the owner he's like, why don't 825 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 2: you join my team? And I was like, oh really 826 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 2: He's like he's like yeah, he's like I have he 827 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 2: has a team of like eight people. He's like, I'll 828 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 2: teach you how to do everything. And I really appreciate 829 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 2: that because he said it to me like join the team, 830 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 2: and so I joined and I was able to do 831 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 2: investigations and use the learn how to use the equipment, 832 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 2: and so when I I kind of promote myself more 833 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 2: as an investigator than an intuitive medium. That's why you 834 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 2: don't really see that on the page, because I'm like, oh, 835 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,719 Speaker 2: I've been doing investigations for years and so yeah, that's 836 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 2: really it. I You're right, there's there's not really many 837 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 2: African Americans in this field. What I've seen, unfortunately, is 838 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 2: there are content creators, influencers that are interested in you know, 839 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 2: they're like, this is so cool, this is interesting, but 840 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 2: I don't there's very few that have actually put in 841 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:22,880 Speaker 2: the work. 842 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 1: And know the history. 843 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 2: Yet they know the history. They not even just the history. 844 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 2: They know how to investigate, they know how like the tools, 845 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 2: they know the safety aspect, they understand the ethics. They 846 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 2: are able to teach other people and hold actual investigations. 847 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,480 Speaker 2: That's a rarity in this point. There is a rarity. 848 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 2: And someone can talk to you blue in the face 849 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,400 Speaker 2: and claim that they know that they're that they're not. 850 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 2: Melissa is one. I remember I was like, oh, yeah, Melissa, 851 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,359 Speaker 2: she definitely is. You know, I've been following her for years. 852 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 2: She knows exactly what she's talking about. She's highly well spoken. 853 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 2: She's experienced another one, Marie Jackson. 854 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 1: Ghostbuster, and love her. She's been on the show too. 855 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 1: They've both been on the show about two or three times. 856 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, she knows her shit, Marie and she I always 857 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 2: always highlight her, Like if someone does a post and 858 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 2: they forget to mention her, I'm like, don't forget Marie. 859 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,240 Speaker 1: And that's what I love about y'all, Like y'all always 860 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: make sure that y'all look out for each other. 861 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,960 Speaker 2: Yes, I'm a huge advocate because there really isn't a 862 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 2: lot that really know what they're doing, and so I 863 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 2: always want to make that very clear because again, like 864 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,239 Speaker 2: I'm on TikTok and this, and I'm just like, oh, 865 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,879 Speaker 2: here's another one that doesn't know what's happening.

And 868 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 2: I've been blessed and humbled to have gotten a lot 869 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 2: of media opportunities within the last two to three years on. 870 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,360 Speaker 1: TV, and shit, it was and it was not easy. 871 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:49,920 Speaker 2: And I always tell people that I'm like, They're like, 872 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,839 Speaker 2: I want to be a famous paranom person.

They really want to 875 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,799 Speaker 2: make sure this black knew what she was doing. There 876 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 2: was one, but I don't think I've ever said this before, 877 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 2: but there was one production company that was interested in me, 878 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,600 Speaker 2: and they interviewed me for like two hours, and they 879 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 2: were so intrigued because I think they wanted to create something. 880 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 2: And then they emailed my agent and they were like, 881 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:21,440 Speaker 2: we love her, she's too green.

They said, we want someone more 886 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 2: like Tyler Henry. You know that the blonde boy from 887 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 2: the Head to. 888 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 1: Teeth, Oh, the one who'd be doing all the celebrity 889 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:36,880 Speaker 1: readers and stuff. 890 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 2: We want someone more like him, someone that see with Tyler, 891 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 2: you know, we had such high ratings with him.

And so that 896 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,120 Speaker 2: I just brought that up because it's just an example 897 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,600 Speaker 2: of what you know, as an African American investigator of paranormal, 898 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,120 Speaker 2: you know, like what I have to deal with it 899 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:04,360 Speaker 2: and trying to break out more on a bigger platform. 900 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,839 Speaker 1: So you know what's so crazy because I just had 901 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 1: another thought about how, you know a lot of people 902 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 1: don't like horror, let alone black horror, but black horror 903 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:14,520 Speaker 1: is black history. Because pretty much there was being racist 904 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:14,880 Speaker 1: towards you. 905 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, wow, absolutely yeah.

And I 910 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 2: appreciate that because they're like, oh, this is different. This 911 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,720 Speaker 2: is not a Caucasian male going on and known about demons. 912 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 2: This exactly black woman. You know, we want diversity. Holy crap, 913 00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,799 Speaker 2: she knows what she's talking about.

The Ghost Adventures was 915 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 2: more of that was a big deal because that's like 916 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:47,880 Speaker 2: the number. 917 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:49,760 Speaker 1: One Yeah, that's number one show in paranormia. 918 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, number one show.

I wouldn't say it's like paranormal will 987 00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,239 Speaker 2: kind of supernat for you. I love get Out us 988 00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:05,360 Speaker 2: was okay, like us, it was it was, it was okay. 989 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 2: I liked the writing because it was different. The writing 990 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 2: was different. I was like, this is interesting. But it 991 00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,200 Speaker 2: was also really really creepy, which I'm sure that's what 992 00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 2: he was going for. So I'm an idiot, but it 993 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:17,479 Speaker 2: was really really great. 994 00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,560 Speaker 1: It's low key true too, because there are people who 995 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:20,320 Speaker 1: live on the ground. 996 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:25,200 Speaker 2: I've heard that, Yeah, that's what I've never liked research, 997 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,800 Speaker 2: but I've heard that that. Yeah, but no that. And 998 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,880 Speaker 2: then there was a comedy one that just came out, 999 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:32,920 Speaker 2: The Blackened. Oh that was the Ear of the Blackening. 1000 00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:36,040 Speaker 2: I didn't like the it was it was funny, but 1001 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 2: I understand, like I remember leaving and I was like, 1002 00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,640 Speaker 2: that was funny, but something was missing or I don't 1003 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:42,160 Speaker 2: know what it was. 1004 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:43,960 Speaker 1: Something it didn't tie all together for me. 1005 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so I totally get that. But no, I'm 1006 00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,799 Speaker 2: and then I know they just created the movie Deliverance, 1007 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 2: and so I think they're trying. They're they're trying. I 1008 00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,160 Speaker 2: just feel like there needs to be more people that 1009 00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 2: actually want to see it happen. Was good, I've heard. 1010 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:01,799 Speaker 2: I didn't see that one. 1011 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,880 Speaker 1: I heard it was Goodchise too. 1012 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:09,320 Speaker 2: I should probably watch that. But I feel like media 1013 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,239 Speaker 2: is trying to incorporate more African Americans. I see it 1014 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,440 Speaker 2: in horror. I'd like to see it in paranormal. This 1015 00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,239 Speaker 2: is another thing I don't really talk about. There was 1016 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,520 Speaker 2: one major I can tell you off one one major 1017 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,359 Speaker 2: production company that was really interested in me. They were 1018 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:27,759 Speaker 2: really they wanted to do African American you know, paranormal, 1019 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,280 Speaker 2: probably unscripted. It was very early, but they were so interested. 1020 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:33,400 Speaker 2: And then see it just kind of was like do 1021 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,160 Speaker 2: do do fell off? Oh we're focusing on something white? 1022 00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:38,320 Speaker 2: You know. They never And I'm just like, you just 1023 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,680 Speaker 2: need people that really want to make this come to 1024 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,400 Speaker 2: fruition because they see the talent, they see the potential, 1025 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 2: they see that thing. Times are changing. They're trying to 1026 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,239 Speaker 2: be bring more diversity, whether it be horror or paranormal. 1027 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:50,960 Speaker 2: And I always tell my friend, I'm just like, I 1028 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,279 Speaker 2: just wish that there were people that were taking it 1029 00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,719 Speaker 2: more seriously. That's all I want. Producers and these like 1030 00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 2: Discovery Channel or like, they need to take it more 1031 00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:03,080 Speaker 2: seriously where people want to see something different. They no, 1032 00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:03,719 Speaker 2: that's a fact. 1033 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:05,640 Speaker 1: And I think that when it comes to you Melissa 1034 00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,880 Speaker 1: Maria I feel like y'all all look different, y'all have 1035 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,200 Speaker 1: different backgrounds, and I think that's the beauty of what 1036 00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,799 Speaker 1: y'all do, because I feel like people need to see 1037 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,320 Speaker 1: themselves and certain things. Because I love scary movies so 1038 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,400 Speaker 1: much that I didn't even know that I could have 1039 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,800 Speaker 1: been a black film horror historian. Like my guest that 1040 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:21,920 Speaker 1: I interview, I can't think of her name, but I 1041 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,799 Speaker 1: definitely had. That was a really good conversation and very informative. 1042 00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,160 Speaker 1: So I'm just like, I wish that I would have 1043 00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,000 Speaker 1: seen y'all when I was growing up, because who knows. 1044 00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,600 Speaker 1: I'm looking for some ghosts too. 1045 00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:34,680 Speaker 2: That's another thing, you know, When I tell people, I'm like, listen, 1046 00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:36,640 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to be famous. So what I what 1047 00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:40,840 Speaker 2: I like is being able to inspire others that I 1048 00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,160 Speaker 2: like the little things I've been able to do. Whether 1049 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,520 Speaker 2: I'm traveling, people are like, oh my god, like I've 1050 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,160 Speaker 2: never seen a black medium or a black whatever, and 1051 00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 2: I'm just like, on that that means a lot to me. 1052 00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:55,719 Speaker 2: I'm actually very private. I'm usually very introverted, you know, 1053 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 2: but when it comes to speaking or doing anything paranormal 1054 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,960 Speaker 2: or talking about this, I'm very passionate about it, and 1055 00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,279 Speaker 2: so I'm like, not on any fame, I just would 1056 00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,720 Speaker 2: like to inspire others and teach others about this field 1057 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,160 Speaker 2: to where there's certain aspects about it where they're not 1058 00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 2: absolutely terrified and they realize like, Okay, it's about learning 1059 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:17,320 Speaker 2: more about history or learning more about the UFOs or 1060 00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,600 Speaker 2: whatever cryptis, you know, learning more about that to understanding it. 1061 00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:25,239 Speaker 2: Because as of right now, the black community softening to it, 1062 00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,000 Speaker 2: but they're not one hundred percent opening to it. Yeah, 1063 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,319 Speaker 2: and I feel like I hope that there's somebody that's 1064 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,560 Speaker 2: able to kind of like open that door whatever. 1065 00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,719 Speaker 1: That may be. Well, I think that black community is 1066 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,520 Speaker 1: also starting to be more receptive towards it is because 1067 00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:43,200 Speaker 1: it's started to become more relatable. Yes, yeah, yeah, because 1068 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:44,920 Speaker 1: I think like niggas, they don't like all that that 1069 00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,480 Speaker 1: slash and shit like or monsters and stuff, but I 1070 00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,560 Speaker 1: think when it's something psychological, I think that's what grabs 1071 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:54,719 Speaker 1: their attention, like oh shit, like this really does this 1072 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:56,600 Speaker 1: really can't happen because it happened to me in this 1073 00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:01,439 Speaker 1: way metaphorically and stuff like that. So this concludes part 1074 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:05,000 Speaker 1: one of this week's episode, Part two, where we dropping 1075 00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,680 Speaker 1: next week, same time, same place, But in the meantime, 1076 00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,040 Speaker 1: email me a hello at thepsgpodcast dot com and tell 1077 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:12,879 Speaker 1: me what you think about this week's episode.
