The Judgemental Ghost, Journal Entry From 5/25/22

I was laying on my couch and my dog, Jasper, was barking for no reason at something I couldn’t see. He often barks at Precious, my gollum roommate, so I figure the two of them are messing with each other. All of a sudden, I felt water drips hit my arm. When I ran my hands over my arm, it was dry though. I checked that there was no water coming from my ceiling for some reason, but my ceiling was dry. Water hit my arm five times and I thought the gollum must be up to something. He is really hyper and playful, like a young child, always messing with things.

Later, I asked my daughter, Morgen about what that was and she said I had a cultish Christian woman come through my house. She said, “Wow, she threw a lot of holy water on you! She doesn’t like your tattoos or the artwork on your walls.” To be fair, I have a painting of myself as a witch flying on a broom through space that a friend Bill Snedden painted. It’s a mystery to me why someone who is so religious would still be roaming around on the earth plane, judging people, when she could be in the light with Jesus himself. She was gone already by the time Morgen woke up, just a passerby as we call them.

Screaming Skull Monkey, Journal Entry From 1/28/22

Yesterday, I visited my friend’s new crystal store. There was a lady in the store that kept talking to my friend as I looked around. I couldn’t be near her! It was so strange but I felt drained, like my knees were going to buckle. I also felt extreme irritation towards the woman, who was going on and on about her daughter being a shaman. The feelings I had toward her were not congruent with anything she was doing. Her daughter called while she was in the store, and was asking her mom how she felt. It was clear from the conversation that this woman has not been feeling well, and told her daughter that she just had a massage and felt a little better. I stepped outside the store to catch my breath and get away from this woman and felt immediately better. I didn’t understand how she might be draining me since I had just seen Michael and my chakras were all fixed up. I couldn’t be leaking energy!

I immediately called my daughter as I was driving away and told her what just happened in the crystal store. She said, “I’m sensing an attachment, but the lady likes having it.” From what I’ve learned about attachments, they can affect you negatively but some people like having the problems that they cause. They also are unaware that there is an attachment to start with. Drug addiction is a good example of someone who might have a negative attachment. The drug use may have attracted the attachment to start with, but the attachment makes it near impossible to stop using drugs because it can influence your emotions, and psychological wellness. My feeling was that this lady likes the attention she gets from not feeling well, and is unaware that she doesn’t feel well because she has an attachment. It sort of reminds me of Munchausen syndrome by proxy, where the parent of a child gets sympathy for having a sick child. But they are the cause of the illness. Obviously, the lady doesn’t even know she has a negative attachment so the similarity to Munchhausen stops there. She just enjoys the attention of people being concerned for her. I find it bizarre that the lady’s daughter hasn’t picked up on the attachment, being a shaman and all. Goes to show you that not all shamans are the same. I fear throwing around a phrase like shaman, without having real shamanic abilities, will turn off more people to the real light workers out there. I’ve met people with very real mind-blowing abilities. At least, now I know what it feels like to be near someone with a negative attachment!

That night, the wind howled and I couldn’t sleep. I laid there with my eyes closed and practiced remote viewing. I went into a meditative state and thought about that woman in the crystal store. I saw her with this thing perched on one shoulder. It looked like a black monkey but it’s face looked like a screaming skull that had an oil slick shine to it. No sound came from its mouth, but it was wrenched wide open as its head looked back and forth. It sits hunched there, attached to her back. I did a quick sketch of what I saw but in no way is my drawing as detailed as I saw it. Maybe one day I can get back into this artwork and do it some real justice.

Another Great Shaman Appointment, From Journal Entry 1/26/22

I had an appointment with Michael Shaman today and it was awesome as usual. I have continued to see Michael since he helped me with my haunted house in January 2021. My root chakra is usually all wonky when I arrive and this time was no different, except somehow it was split into 3 different parts, which he’s never seen before. I had a masculine, feminine and androgynous part of my root chakra, but they all spun the pendulum the same. I think I need to ground more often. For those that don’t know, grounding is more about imagining roots growing from your feet into the Earth, then it is about touching the Earth. However, there are great benefits to getting a good amount of contact with the Earth, and it is explained really well in a documentary called The Earthing Movie. I do both, and have grounding sheets to ground for an extended time because I’m a fire sign and need more grounding than someone who is an Earth sign.

Michael looks at one of my chakras and sees that I’ve been astral traveling to another planet often enough to have a new spirit guide assigned to me who is Arcturian. I haven’t remembered my dreams very well since spending 15 years on sleeping pills, but have meditated and seen a blue alien’s face. I also saw a bearded long haired man, who was attractive, that I believed was my gladiator spirit guide. I asked his name once and heard Arthur. I asked Michael what the alien’s name is, and he said, “Arthur, you can call him Art.” It turns out that Arcturian aliens are shape shifters, so the bearded man was still the alien shifted into an angel and not my gladiator. I have seen alien technology as well and thought that while I was meditating, I was remote viewing space. But, Michael tells me that when I’m doing that, I am actually sending out one af my astral bodies that is traveling there.He says we have 7 astral bodies, one for each of our chakras. I send out an astral body from my 3rd eye chakra, where others will send out one of their astral bodies from a different chakra based on which is strongest usually. My vision isn’t completely clear when I see these faces but Michael says the more I meditate and travel, the clearer my vision will get. He also says that I’ve gone to this planet enough times, that I’ve been able to adjust my frequency for their planet. Then, Michael looked at my past life as an Arcturian. He was able to call that life forward. I have red hair and my name is Reeshna. I talk about this aspect of myself in the present tense because time is only linear in our dimension. So, “past” lives can be out of order or even simultaneous. It’s messes with your mind to think about it too much. Reeshna was willing to be braided with me in a process Michael calls ‘soul braiding’. I’ve had a few past lives braided in now, and you can feel a difference afterwards. It’s hard to explain but you can access knowledge about something that you had skills with in that particular life. It’s really cool and I highly recommend it! Art was excited that we did this because he will be able to communicate with me easier now. Before we just looked at each other and he pantomimes things mostly, for lack of a better description. Or sometimes I get one word placed in my mind. I am excited to see what the difference might be with Reeshna on board.

I told Michael at the end of our session that we had a famous house guest for a month, the ghost of Charles Manson. Before I could ask him not to push him in the light, Michael saw him hanging around my appointment and pushed him already. I said, “Michael! Why did you do that? He didn’t seem ready to go.”

Michael offered to pull him back out, or put some of his family members at my house, which I said wasn’t necessary. But I did want to know if Charlie was happy. Michael said, “Yes, he was easy to push in, so part of him wanted to go. He didn’t know he could go in the light because of his bad karma. He is happy now.” If Michael hadn’t of pushed Charlie, then he may have been another soul stuck on the Earthly plane afraid of the light. I’m afraid we have too many of those lost souls as it is, so this was a good thing.

Art, my Arcturian spirit guide. I only really see his face and so the back head shape may be off. Maybe one day I will see him better to get this more accurate.

Good Time Charlie, Journal Entry 1/23/22

Charlie has been gone for awhile. Morgen finally admitted that he didn’t like me. I remember when I was a teenager, my dad told me the strangest thing. He said, that if I was a teen in the 60s, I would’ve been one of Charlie’s followers. I really have no idea what he meant by that, or why he even thought it. Maybe because the Manson Family lived in the hills outside Simi Valley? The only thing I can think is that I really loved the music from the 60s, and even did paintings of John Lennon and Abbie Hoffman. I often had the feeling that I was born in the wrong decade, or at least wished very hard that I could’ve been around during the whole flower power movement. Psychedelics and garage rock would’ve been a great time for a teenager! But does that make me a Manson follower?

No, I don’t think I would’ve been one of Charlie’s followers. I’m too stubborn. He liked girls that did what he wanted. There must have been something very special about him to get the obedience, love and fear that he got from his followers. I used to think Charlie must’ve been a genius, even though he was illiterate. He had been tested and got 105 on an IQ test, which is considered in the normal/high IQ range, so not a genius. Early on, he was heavily influenced by Scientology and the book “How to Win Friends and Influence People.” He used this throughout his life. I read a book about him, and he was able to talk people in prison through high experiences and they say it was just like taking drugs. Charlie did a guided meditation for Danny Trejo when they were locked up together in 1961 that made him believe he was on heroine. Charlie must have been able to hypnotize people. Maybe he wasn’t a genius in math and reading, but I think he might have been above average when it came to understanding people.

I think Charlie would’ve liked being at my house before we got rid of all the negative activity, when the biker and demons were still here. Now though, we just have learned too much. We won’t be controlled or pushed around by the spirit world again, and that might not be too fun for Charlie.

Was I Dreaming? Journal Entry from 1/16/22

Two nights ago, I was sleeping and next thing you know I was having a nightmare. Clear as day, I could see Charles Manson. He was so angry. His face was right in my face, and his eyes squinted with all his rage while he tried squeezing my neck in his hands. It felt more real than a dream to me, like I was really being strangled. The next morning, I asked Morgen if it was just a coincidence that I dreamt Manson strangled me, or if he really was there in my dream. She said, “Yeah, he’s mad that you talk bout him?’

I said, “He can’t fuck with me. He knows we can push him in the light, right?”

Morgen got mad at me. “Well, you need to respect that he doesn’t want anyone to know he’s here.”

I told her, “No. This is my house. I’m being very cool that I don’t care that he’s here. Everyone else tells me to get rid of him, and honestly I don’t care if he’s here as long as he isn’t messing with us. I wasn’t even the one who said it was him! He was moving the door again, and Jason guessed it was him. I’m not being bullied by another ghost. If he touches me again he’s going in the light.” This made Morgen storm off. I’ll be damned if another spirit thinks they’re going to come around and torment us. 13 years was enough for me!

I had woken up a few weeks ago and saw a bearded man floating above the other side of my bed. He was sitting there and looked down at me peacefully. He appeared glowing green and see through, about in his early thirties. I didn’t realize it at the time, but that was Manson as well. He manifests younger, before the very recognizable forehead tattoo. I don’t understand why he moves things and messes with electronics if he doesn’t want attention. Seems contradictory to me.

I drew what Manson looks like these days. Prints are available for $10 on our website shop page.

The Demon That Put Up a Fight from Journal Entry 1/11/22

Vinh was tattooing a client named Erin who started randomly talking about things in her house being thrown at her. Naturally, my ears perk up! A surfboard was taken off of wall mounts and thrown at her! That’s a bit strong to be just a ghost, but not impossible. My suspicion when I hear about something that strong is that it’s a demon. Morgen happened to be there cleaning the shop, and I said, “My daughter can remote view your house and tell you what’s there and remove it for $50.”

Erin says, “I’ll pay her $100 if she does it right now!” Erine writes down what she has seen and shows Vinh as a test for Morgen.

Morgen sits by her side and says, “You have this tall dark figure in a black trench coat, with black hair at your house. It’s not human. It’s a demon and it’s negative.”

Erin says that’s what she has seen too, and wrote it on the paper that she showed Vinh. But then she says, “ I think I have two spirits because I have also seen a little girl. Maybe that guy killed her?”

“No, the little girl is also the tall black figure pretending to be a little girl.” Morgen answered. Afterwards, Morgen left the shop and went home to meditate. She needed a quiet space to remote view and push this demon.

Erin remained at the tattoo shop getting tattooed when all of a sudden blood starts gushing out of her nose. “Oh my God! Does this have to do with what Morgen is doing with the demon?”

“I don’t know. Ask her.”

So Erin texts her and Morgen replied, “Yes, it’s putting up a fight.” Afterwards, Morgen drove back to the shop and gave Erin a bundle of sage and told her to go home and sage her house. Saging doesn’t get rid of ghosts or demons like people often think, but it does help get rid of residual energy and raise the vibration of the space which helps keep low vibration beings from entering.

The next day, Erin texts Morgen saying there is a bad smell and wind coming from her closet even though there’s no source for the air in there. Morgen pulled a blanket over her head and I watched as she sat there remote viewing that the demon was still there. She pushed it again and it gave her a headache. Immediately, Erin texted that the smell and wind was gone and that Morgen is amazing. Apparently, Erin’s boyfriend didn’t let her sage because he doesn’t like the smell and didn’t believe her about the activity in the house either. Not saging didn’t cause the demon to still be there, sometimes it just takes more than one attempt to keep demons and ghosts away. Erin saged after this second time and the house was clear. Erin is a sensitive person, so she will attract things down the road because ghosts and demons know who can see them. They like the attention. Sensitive people need to learn how to ground and protect themselves.

"Babadook" Journal entry from 8/15/21

Our house has been so nice and quiet since Morgen pushed all the demons (which is a term I use for negative low vibration beings and not used in a biblical sense) out of our home and closed the portal. Morgen has a special ability to push beings into the light, which is where spirits go to be ‘processed’. It is a blissful place, heaven like I hear. She is learning skills from Michael Shaman because she has so much natural ability in this arena, in fact people hire her to clear spaces now. She also is the one that closed the portal, and this she did without being taught by anyone. Thank goodness she has been able to do these things! But yesterday, something rattled Morgen. She was getting ready to go into the bathroom and the knob on her bathroom cabinet broke off and hit the floor. The metal is sheered. Then, it sounded like hands hit the bathroom door. She could see a tall shadow walk around from the corner of her eyes and feel the hot stale air move when it passed by her. But, otherwise the could not see it with her third eye. She said it was hiding from her. I texted Michael who also couldn’t see it. She said the energy in her house was very negative. My friends were over yesterday evening and we were having our first CE5 (Close Encounters of the 5th Kind based on Dr Steven Greer) meeting, trying to make positive contact with aliens. From the deck, Sam saw a shadow walk by a window in Morgen’s house.

The conclusion of our CE5 didn’t seem successful. My friend Greg kept uttering, “Two beings in a plasma sack are right above us.” We didn’t know what he was talking about and probably told him to stop talking gibberish because we like to give him a hard time. Right after everyone left, a bright light shone into my kitchen door window from the left side. It didn’t light up the whole window, like the light from my motion sensor on the right of my door does. We didn’t know what that was. Sam went home and had a feeling that something was in her room, and she didn’t want to see an alien face to face, so it told her not to open her eyes. When Greg went and saw Michael Shaman again, he confirmed there were two beings in a plasma sack that have been waiting for Greg to make contact with them. They are light purple skinned , the female has a blond mohawk, they are smaller than us and do travel in a plasma sack. So we were more successful than we believed.

After the CE5 meet up dispersed, Morgen remote viewed inside her house from my house. Remote viewing is an ability to view something from a distance with your mind. Morgen can see better remotely than she can with her eyes in the actual room we discovered earlier this year. I wrote about this previously in my book The Haunted Guesthouse. She said it was making her heart race to look around her house. She finally found the demon hiding against her ceiling in a closet. That was weird because just that morning I had noticed my own ceiling above my bed was crazy dark on only half of it. I kept staring into that blackness. I even tried casting shadows with my hands on the ceiling from my nightlight. I never could figure out why my ceiling was so dark, or what the cause of the shadow was. Morgen pushed the demon thing into the light and then showed me that it looked like the monster in the Babadook movie.

Morgen says that her and I are like magnets to all this weird stuff. We believe she brought this thing home with her when she went to the mall earlier. We agreed she needs to learn everything from Michael Shaman that she can. Meanwhile, her house was too negative to be in last night so she slept on my couch. We will burn salt and sage in there to clear out negative energy today. We definitely need to keep the energy high and positive because the satanic ritual that happened in that house in the 60s attracts the paranormal activity as well. It’s constant work keeping the energy positive in that guesthouse.

I did get Morgen in for a session with Michael Shaman. He said she was interdimensional, that her energy is a bright gold light that shines like a beacon into other dimensions. That light draws things home with us. We were figuring that out already. He also said that we are constant companions in our lives. We’ve had three lives together as warriors alone, one was the life I knew about as a Mongolian warrior for Kublai Khan, when Marco Polo was in Mongolia.
