~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To be offered to touch another person's hand, is an honor. To be able to touch their heart, is a gift given. To be able to touch their soul, is a blessing of trust. ~ Edward Shanahan
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you think the pit may be endless, slowly back away instead of peaking over the edge to find out. ~ Edward Shanahan.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 FRIEND - so easy of a word to throw out when in reality it should not be.

F inds a place in your heart, be it small or large.
R espects what hurts you and tries to avoid it.
I s one you know will listen and try to understand.
E xcepts limitations you may have.
N ever have to wonder if one is actually your friend.
D efends you instead of selling you out for another.

So if you have one or more, count it as a blessing. If one has let you down by their actions to the point they know it really hurt you, accept it as knowledge. Even though the lesson may be costly for the heart and mind, look in the mirror and know you still have you and when you see yourself in that mirror, know that someone else will see what you know is within you.

Never beg for the friendship of another as they will always hold that over you. Also know that a friend can become an acquaintance from once being a friend if you need to, easier then they became a friend for you, and harder to once again become a friend as lesson has been learned from them. ~ Edward Shanahan

Haunted Archer Avenue and The Stretch of Death

Haunted Archer Avenue and The Stretch of Death
by Edward Shanahan

The Stretch of Death, is the name I have given to the stretch of Archer Avenue that runs from Fairmont Hills Cemetery, west to St. James Cemetery. I will tell about the burning paranormal tour bus that came close to taking my life and others on The Stretch of Death and other reasons why I have named it such. That will follow after a brief history of paranormal locations and experiences.

Extreme Seance Video with Chicago Psychic Medium at 2011 Chicago PKC

Extreme Seance Video with Chicago Psychic Medium at 2011 Chicago PKC.
by Edward Shanahan.


This event was not my regular Chicago Paranormal Night. I offered to hold my ‘Circle of Energy Seance’ at the location as part of the 2011 Chicago Paranormal Kicks Cancer Fundraiser and to end the day. The thing about it, the location was a Holiday Inn and a location not known at all for any hauntings, even though some of the staff said there has been some activity there.

 Those participating were not the general public, but actually the top Paranormal Investigators and Spiritual People who participated in the Fundraiser and even a Paranormal Investigator from the paranormal TV show 'Paranormal Cops'.

I knew then, the individuals never participated in one of my Circle of Energy Seances, they all knew about it, but yet my audience for this demonstration were individuals who anything less then a paranormal experience, would not do or satisfy them. My Circle of Energy Seance, would really need to be something beyond what they were accustomed to as Paranormal Investigators.

It was beyond even what I had hoped for and the Spirit World did not let me down and the reason why I call what you see in the video below, an Extreme Seance.

An individual's account of the experience between dying and coming back

An individual's account of the experience between dying and coming back.
by Edward Shanahan

On Facebook I posted a response to someone's question about the subject of Spirits being stuck or not knowing their dead and the postings went back and forth a bit and finally ending with me suggesting the individual to go look up on the Internet, the documents written by those who have died and come back, all knew they were dead and were crossing over or did cross over.
 
Later that night I received a private message from an individual who is a reader of what I have written the last few years and is a friend on Facebook. She read what I wrote in the posting I mentioned above. You can read the letter and her experience at:

Spirits - are they testing us?

Below you will find what I posted for the 1st time
in 2004, and I still fell as strong about it today
as I did then.

By Edward Shanahan
*********

Hello Friends,

I want to share a thought, maybe even consider
it a message I received. You have free will to
decide what it is.

The spirits or the spirit world. Many are claiming
to see them. There are those who believe some
spirits do not know to cross over, as in either
not knowing their dead, or they are lost. Some
claim that there are evil spirits.

You also have those who use tools to 'prove',
it's a spirit, a ghost or the paranormal, all
words meaning the same.

Now that is all fine and dandy, but here is
something to think about.

What if it is a test? I know your thinking
'A Test?'

Yep - a test.. You see as far as my ' feelings'
and thoughts that have always gone along with
our Amy's internal ' feeling' and knowledge.

I have named Amy our Psychic Feeler do to her
gifted abilities and spiritual background that
have come about do to her knowledge that she
experienced as a child.

The feeling and thoughts are that Ghosts, Spirits,
the Paranormal is a spiritual gift your being
allowed to view and that they are making contact
with you, and you decide and show them by your
actions, what you truly believe by how you handle
it.

But maybe it is a test by the spiritual world of
spirits. Some may call it the Summer land, others
may call it Heaven or other names depending on
their faith and beliefs.

What if it was a test? A test to see how spiritual
we really are here on earth, are we ready to share
a spiritual life after death?

Maybe the spirit world today is testing to see
how far away people have fallen from the actual
spiritual beliefs of such, when the individuals
claim to have a belief.

Let's say:

They show themselves as a test, and you have
people seeking to prove that it was a spirit
with tools other then their internal feelings
and knowledge. So there is a showing of doubt
unless one can prove it with a tool.

They show themselves as a test, and you have
individuals trying to chase them away, thus
showing that the spirit is not welcomed and
also more or less telling the Spirit World
that as a human being, the human is more
powerful then the Spirit World.

They show them selves as a test, and some
people believe they are lost or don't know
their dead (that thought has always baffled
me when I hear it), thus showing the spirit
that one doubts the the spirit of the soul's
knowledge, and so how could one believe
in their own internal soul of knowledge?

They show them selves as a test, one individual
sees the spirit and others will not believe until
they can get tools in there to prove the existence
of such a thing.

Strange as it may be, some have been gifted
the gift of seeing, feeling and actually being
touched by the spirits of the spirit world.

These people do not need any proof as they
feel it in their own soul, a soul like the
soul of the spirit there with them.

The test's will go on, as it is strange some
need the proof and these test are to see who
they are, as many claim to believe in the spiritual,
but yet need the proof of it when it does show
it's self.

And other's have the internal knowledge of
the proof and for them no doubt is given by
the spirit world of their spiritual gifted
internal knowledge. An internal knowledge
gifted to them by the spiritual as we all
have been part of the spirit world as we
have souls.

Strange that the answers have been there for
years, yet more doubt is shown today in the
need to prove then to believe in.

Just something to think about from me.

You all are special to someone.

I wanted to bring this to you all (read all the way through it), and I try to do so around the Holidays, as there are some people who need to know this around the holidays.

We all have lost someone who has passed away, someone we have loved and have loved us, but for some people that is all they had or all that remained in their long life and sadly many feel they now have no one who loves them.

PLEASE remember you will always be loved by the ones who have passed away and loved you, they still do and will always do so. Also remember they are the ones you can still go to with your thoughts and problems, and in reality they may be able to help you even more being in the Spiritual World, then they could of here in the living world.

They all cross over, there is more information documented on that, then there are about 'not knowing their dead - being lost - not crossing over - etc..' No one will ever get me to believe they do not cross over or are lost or some spirits do not know their dead. It is beyond what any higher power would allow.

So never think they have not. Many I have done my readings for, with an item of their love one who has passed away... Usually always see a smile come up on my face during the reading with the item. It's because I pick up on the happiness and knowledge that the living loved one is being well watched over by the one who loved them and has passed.

For your own fact finding about 'That They Cross Over ', just do an Internet search on - Near Death Experiences, you might as well get it from the source, being those who experienced it.

I had the wonderful gift allowed for me, to actually have a chance to talk to a young man of 38 who died, and was brought back. It is a beautiful thing to see what came across his face as he discussed it, and what I felt by way of the energy coming off of him. No experience before, nor after (as of now), has come close to it.

But for many, remember your loved and will always be loved. This is a time of year that is hard for some of you and I totally understand. But your blessed, blessed with the fact that you will always be special to someone and also loved for ever.

* For those who it is not as hard for, because your surrounded by those who love you, don't forget those WHO HAVE passed away and you loved, it is somewhat easy to do so during the hustle of the Holiday.

Bring the loved one(s) up during the Holiday conversations when your other family members are together. So the one(s), who passed away will know during this time of the year, that they are still part of the Holiday gathering, as in the past.

Blessings to you all,

Edward Shanahan
