Suffering from the winter blahs? Cabin fever starting to kick in? The winter tends to be a time when many paranerds out there, struggle to find enough paranormal activity or content to keep them happy. If you’re truly one of these nerds, the autumn/Halloween season just isn’t enough to keep you going for the rest of the year. For some, the days seem longer, even though they’re shorter, and maybe you’re longing for fall once again… or at least spring. Well I’m here to get you out of that funk with 9 tips to keep the paranormal alive in your life throughout the winter.
Tip #1: Find a good book on a paranormal, spiritual, or metaphysical topic… or even just a good ghost story!
Here are 4 recent books that I’ve read and can recommend to you:
“Reunions: Visionary Encounters with Departed Loved Ones” – Raymond Moody
“Paranormal: My Life in Pursuit of the Afterlife” – Raymond Moody
“The Spirit of Creativity: Embodying Your Soul’s Passion” – Karen A. Dahlman
“Soul Sensing: How to Communicate With Your Dead Loved Ones” – Janice Carlson
I’m currently Reading “Soul-to-Soul Connections: Comforting Messages from the Spirit World”, by future guest, Carole J. Obley.
If you’re looking for a more detailed list of book recommendations and reviews, you can check out myRecommended Readingpage. I’m very often adding to and updating that list.
Tip #2: Plan and hold a séance with a small group of friends!
Tip #3: Consider reading a how-to book on something like channeling, meditating, Ouija, Tarot, Astral Travel, EVP, or another equally interesting topic.
By the way, I plan on producing a kind of “how-to EVP” episode sometime soon. I know quite a few people who have talked about giving it a try, or have expressed interest in learning how to go about it. And I know these folks would be great at it and get a lot out of it. So stay tuned. And maybe you could let me know if you’re one of those people. Get in touch with me.
Tip #4: Find a cozy place to stay for the weekend. It doesn’t even have to be haunted. It certainly helps if the place has some interesting history to it, or maybe it just looks haunted!
Probably just about every region has a few cute bed and breakfasts.
How about the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado?
You can find more stories, audio, and photos from our stay at the Stanley Hotel if you find my post titledMemories of the Stanley Hotel.
Or how about theCrescent Hotelin Eureka Springs, Arkansas?
If you listened toEpisode #11from September 4, 2014, I suggested that listeners consider starting a new fall tradition of adopting graves.
Tip #9: Invite a paranormal investigation team into your home or a friend’s home and convince them to let you help investigate!

Janice Carlson and her dog Buzzbee, a German Shepherd and Golden Retriever mix.
Inepisode 10 of The Big Séance Podcast, Janice Carlson agreed to have a little fun with listeners, and announced a contest for a chance to win a copy of her book,Soul Sensing: How to Communicate With Your Dead Loved Ones. Listeners were to psychically tune into the pet that was sitting with her during the interview, and be the first to most accurately describe him. Buzzbee, the beautiful subject of this exercise, is pictured above with Ms. Carlson.
Though none of the responders were very close in describing Buzzbee, Belle, who recorded her submission by clicking on the Record Voice Feedback link in the menu at the top of the page, actually described another pet in the household pretty spot-on, according to Janice. How cool is that?! So Janice determined that Belle, who listens from Canada, should be the winner!
CONGRATULATIONS TO BELLE FROM CANADA!
If you listened toepisode 11of the podcast, you heard her audio submission.
I wanted to thank those who played along and responded, giving us a chance to have some fun with our very first contest/giveaway! And also, thank you to Janice Carlson for donating a copy of the book.
Have you ever wanted to learn how to communicate with your dead loved ones? Medium and Psychic, Janice Carlson tells us how, and talks to us about her book, Soul Sensing: How to Communicate With Your Dead Loved Ones. PLUS A BOOK GIVEAWAY!

Pendulums. I have honestly never put too much thought into them. I do not own one and have never used one either. This doesn’t mean I have anything against them, it’s just that I’ve never really been introduced to them or read much about them. So since I’ve never given pendulums their moment in the spotlight here at the blog, perhaps it is time for that to change.
I’ve decided to leave you with three pendulum videos that I thought differed a bit in style or technique. I’m particularly interested and curious about the “conscious movement” described in the third video, in which he suggests teaching your body to move the pendulum. In the second video, she says she’s using telepathy and can “project” onto the pendulum. Is the idea supposed to be that the answers are coming from the practitioner in an unconscious way… or from your higher self? Are there people out there who believe spirits are controlling their pendulums? Feel free to fill me in.
I was sent down this road tonight because recently I read in Janice Carlson’s book, Soul Sensing: How to Communicate With Your Dead Loved Ones, that she prefers the pendulum over the Ouija board, because she considers it a “board game” and not an “efficient means of communication with those in the afterlife.”
What do you think? Do I have any pendulum practitioners among my readers? And would you consider the pendulum to be any different from the Ouija or other divination tools?
