JimHeater@hotmail.com (Wendy Jaglarski, Jim Heater, Vincent Genna) — Tue, 27 Oct 2020 02:01:36 +0000

As a young adult, Vincent Genna suddenly found himself blessed with keen psychic and mediumship abilities—a gift that came with tremendous responsibility. Each time he works with clients, he never forgets that he holds their soul in his hands. The journey to a deeper understanding of self can be uplifting, but it can also be gut-wrenching. It requires a gifted psychic and medium guide who is not only sensitive and compassionate but also highly skilled in how the mind works and how to lead those in pain through—and out—of the darkness. For Vincent, helping his clients process and use otherworldly messages is as important as divining those messages for them. To this end, Vincent pursued and added a set of key educational credentials to his skillset as a Psychic by earning a BA in Psychology and a Masters in Social Work. Vincent is also a practiced Hospice Clinical Social Worker, an experience that allowed him the privilege of helping more than 500 patients peacefully transition through their dying process while comforting and supporting their families and friends. Vincent Genna, MSW is known as the “tell-it-like-it-is” and “truly authentic” Spiritual Teacher and Psychic Therapist. He combines his extraordinary psychic abilities, academic credentials, and genuine all-loving approach to provide healing for body, mind, and spirit. As a Psychic Therapist, Vincent uses his more than 36 years of training, research, and experience in the Metaphysical, Psychology, and Spiritual fields to dive deep into the psyche where true transformation takes place, helping clients to examine their beliefs and leave behind whatever is blocking them from the empowerment to heal their own weaknesses, imbalance, or lack. Vincent also has an amazing capacity to explain the messages he receives in a way that not only resonates with the individual but also with an entire audience.

Jay Bachochin: Bigfoot Hunter, Investigator & Researcher

JimHeater@hotmail.com (Jay Bachochin, Jim Heater) — Sun, 18 Oct 2020 20:38:20 +0000

Jay Bachochin is a family man in the state of Wisconsin. He is a graphic designer, cinematographer and film editor. Jay founded The Wisconsin Paranormal Investigators in 2007 to investigate and research UFOs and Ghosts. Since 2014 he has been on a solo quest searching for The Wisconsin Sasquatch in southeast Wisconsin. In 2019, Jay produced, filmed, edited and directed his documentary 'Finding Jay' streaming on Amazon Prime and available on Blu ray. Jay has been interested in the paranormal since he was old enough to hold an interest. Jay was raised on Creature Features back in the early 70's. He just loved "anything" that was supernatural. It wasn't until 1979 when he witnessed something paranormal first hand and saw the most amazing display of a well lit flying object above their house in Lindenhurst, IL. What did his brother, sister and my mom see that night? They could all say it was a UFO, but until this day they still can't explain what we saw. However, it was fascinating to watch these lights move in the night sky over a total of :20 minutes. Throughout Jay’s life he has experienced many encounters that didn’t make sense. Jay experienced a 5 second black-out when he was 10 years old. The black-out didn't only happen to Jay at that time, but also his younger friend he was with at the time. This 5 second black-out was the most bizarre thing he can recall from childhood. How can 2 people share the same black-out? He has witnessed many different unidentified flying objects near his hometown and his current residence over the years. Since 2013, Jay has been investigating The Wisconsin Sasquatch and Dogman. He has had several sightings and has collected over 5 years worth of data. Jay believes that we are not alone in our universe nor alone in the woods. Another race of alien beings? A greater force beyond comprehension? Worm-holes? Timescapes? Parallel universes?

Dan Norvell: Paranormal Investigator & Author of 'Ghosts of the Black Hawk War' October 10, 2020

JimHeater@hotmail.com (Jim Heater, Dan Norvell) — Wed, 14 Oct 2020 13:35:55 +0000

I was born and raised in a small farming community in Northern Illinois. I have always had an interest in the Paranormal. I have dedicated most of my life to serving as a Firefighter for 16 years, a Paramedic for 6 of those years, and now as a Correctional Officer. I have witnessed enough tragedy and miracles in that time to bring ideas and possibilities together in my fictional writing. I am also Lead Investigator for The Ghosthunter Dan Norvell Project which helps when I lend my writing to factual publications as well. I am the father of 2 children that also share my passion and drive for whatever I set out to do. My hope with my fictional and factual writing is to bring insight of what may be waiting for us through the next door.

Terry Lovelace is a 64-year-old Air Force Veteran, lawyer and former assistant attorney general. In 2012 a routine X-ray of his leg found an anomalous bit of metal the size of a fingernail with two tiny wires attached. What followed were horrific nightmares, spontaneous recall and intrusive thoughts surrounding a 1977 camping trip he took with a friend and fellow Airman to Devils Den State Park in Northern Arkansas. For fear of losing his job and his well-respected standing in the legal community, he kept this secret for 40 years. But the 2012 discovery of this object, one and one-half inches deep in his thigh, initiated a flood of nightmares he could not control. What unfolds changed his life forever.

Andrea Perron: Author, House of Darkness House of Light The Conjuring 9-12-20

JimHeater@hotmail.com (Jim Heater) — Mon, 14 Sep 2020 05:05:19 +0000

My name is Andrea Perron. I am the eldest daughter of Roger & Carolyn Perron. I have four sisters: Nancy, Christine, Cynthia and April. My birthdate: October 10, 1958...the only one of five siblings to be born in Rhode Island. I was just two months old when my parents bought our first home in Willimantic, Connecticut, where all my sisters came into the world. A burgeoning family required more space so we bought a larger home in Cumberland, R.I. when I was six. Living in a suburb of Providence proved disquieting. After six years my mother decided her girls required a place in the country in which to grow and thrive. In June of 1970 she found a glorious farm, then she and my father moved mountains to buy what was known as the old Arnold Estate; two-hundred acres of land with a big barn and a farmhouse; plenty of space to spread out and explore Nature. It was the perfect place to raise a family, according to the owner, though he failed to disclose a crucial element of the experience he endured as an occupant.
