It is finally fall and the paranormal season is upon us. I must say that I have waited so long for the first day of fall. The month of October we have named Loretober and are very excited  we get to celebrate with 5 Tuesdays during this month including on Halloween itself. 

Our first episode of the month we chose ghosts! We thought it would be the best way to celebrate the start of such a dark and spooky season. Ghosts of course are not limited to just the month of October though, if your new here please know that you can always comment on this entry or send us an email at [email protected] to tell us your story. We would love to have you on air, or read your story to our listeners and you can always remain anonymous. 

We promise that this month will be full of spooktacular surprises!  We have a lot of  interactive discussions in our facebook group, you can find us under our name The Caravan, Library of Lore and if you want to go deeper you can check out our patreon. This has been a labor of love, finding ways to show you things that others may not get to see, a way for you to become immersed in this 'other world' and as you can see, we now as well have a members section. Sign up on our patreon to get the password https://www.patreon.com/thecaravanoflore  As the rewards gets higher your immersion gets deeper, we look forward to taking you along this adventure.

A special note as well;  I wanted to take the time to let all of our readers and listeners know why it is we are doing what we are doing, what is the passion and the drive behind all of this. As most of you know, I have experienced many things personally since I was a young child and Vance has experienced quite a bit himself and very terrifying things at that.  These things can be hard to talk about and open up about. A lot of us may question ourselves for years before ever speaking of something we saw or experienced. We want this to be a safe place and an online community of like minded individuals who can come together to know that they are not alone and eventually somehow find peace within the knowledge that we really are not alone and our world is vastly different then what we had originally thought. 

So from us at The Caravan, we hope that you have a spooktacular Loretober! 

As odd as it may sound, I honestly have a familiar, my cat none the less; not to be too cliche, it is just the best way I can describe the situation. I met our cat Zeus in a shelter, he had been released as a kitten and had traveled from shelter to shelter until he was about a year old. When we saw him, we were all drawn to him, there was something about him that almost seemed magical. Here again though, we could have all just come under the new pet spell.  

A day after we brought him home, I was in my room doing some spiritual work and I had my spiritual objects out. He immediately came over, sniffed all my stuff and sat with me until I was done. At first I didn't think much of it,  its been over the course of  his time here that I have noticed that each time before beginning my work he bolts over to me, stays still by my side until I am done and then leaves and goes on his way as if nothing had ever happened. 

I love having an animal in my home, they are so aware more than I am, and due to my sensitivities it is nice to look over on a creepy dark night and see my cat at ease. It is a different life once you realize what is truly real. 

I will never forget coming across a book when I was about 15 years old, it talked about your spirit guides, or spirit teachers as they referred to them as. There was one section that taught you how to contact them, to which I was eager to try. Now, this would be my first experience ever, in seeking out a guide or teacher. This experience is really what set the pace  for me in regards to channeling and working with sentient beings. 

I remember laying on my floor and clearing my mind, I ended up in deep meditation and found myself in a room. This room was almost like a small apartment living room. there was a grey couch and a coffee table with a bunch of paper on it. Behind the couch was a sliding glass door with sheer white curtains gently blowing in a breeze. A man stood before me, he said nothing and walked over to the coffee table and proceeded to reach down for one of the pieces of paper that lay on top. It was at this point I "woke up" with a start, I say woke up because it is the best way to describe it, although I was not sleeping. It was more of a feeling like I fell back into my body. Oddly enough, I have never been back, nor met him again but have always wondered what it was that he had to show me. I am sure one day, I may find out. 

Fast forward a couple years and I am with my mentor learning to call upon the celestial angels,  and learning how to listen. This was another very powerful experience. I will never forget the first time a true and clear channel came through.  I was attending our weekly healing group when I saw an image in my mind, it was of a crystal pyramid but one I had never seen before. I had an urge to ask around because I knew that I needed to hold it. 

It was then a man walked in with a crystal healing kit, I had never seen it before. It came in a black brief case and held many crystals, there was circular crystals in all colors,  a wand or two, and low and behold several different crystal pyramids including the one I saw in my mind.  The shape and the colors of this one particular pyramid was unique and seemed to hold millions of rainbows, it was truly mesmerizing and the energy it gave off was powerful. I asked if I could borrow it, as soon as it was placed in my hands a clear voice came through, it was someone from the pleiadians. They had a message for a woman who was there at the healing group. 

The woman who was there, had been waiting for a sign to visit the ECETI ranch.  I remember holding this pyramid, hearing the voice and then again "waking up" when the message was done. I do not know what the message was, it was as if I was completely asleep with no dreams, the woman thanked me,  as the message that came through was apparently a powerful one for her and she was then able to know when to go to the ranch and she did, in fact her and my father went together. 

Hopefully in the future we can have them on the show, as they not only had experiences at ECETI but Mt. Shasta as well. 

I was only 18 when I began to learn how to cleanse a home. The first experience I had, was with my mentor. We went to a woman's house in the city who was having experiences within her home that she found upsetting.  I will never forget the feeling that I had when I walked into her house,  I was overwhelmed with a heavy energy, one that makes you feel weighed down and a little dizzy.  It was determined through energetic feeling and the visions we would see within out minds eye were that of  illness. 

We walked through the house with sage and a singing bowl, calling to the celestial angels whom my mentor works with, to cleanse the home and allow for the spirits to move on and to let them know they no longer need suffer that they were free to move on. 

The most interesting part as well was the energetic vortex that was outside the home, vortex's are interesting things and one such topic I hope to explore further. 

Since my first home cleansing there was only one other home I cleansed that was not my own. This home was effected by an entity commonly known as The Hat Man.  For myself, when I see beings or entities they are always out of the corner of my eye or in my minds eye,  if that makes sense. 

This cleansing was more difficult, as I was alone for the first time and it was not something I have two solid feet in. The entry level of the house went fine, the energy there was more peaceful and it felt like you could breath but as soon as you climbed the stairs it all changed. You felt like you were being watched, like an elephant was sitting on your chest, I felt like I was about to be challenged and when I came to the top step I became very dizzy and almost fell backwards.

Luckily I was able to keep my bearing and press on, in my minds eye I could see what I can only describe as the hatman, just standing there staring at me, motionless. I said my prayers, I sang my songs, I lit my sage and played my singing bowl and then it just seemed to disappear, but it did not feel permanent, it was almost like someone walking out the door to go somewhere but there is that feeling or knowing, they will return , I just didn't know when or even what to do about that, at that point.

Being a novice my cleansing was not complete, their home was good for a time but the negativity and strange happenings did return. They moved shortly after however and luckily they were not followed and have not had any issues since. 

That was the last cleansing I have ever done,  I am really not sure if I will ever do another. I realize the risks that I took now, now that I am older and now that I have studied more on these things.  In the possibility you are someone who regularly cleanses homes I would love to hear form you in the comments below with any experiences you have had, especially when you were first starting out. All comments and questions are welcome, experience or not.
