"My message is one of peace and love and hope and reconciliation and acknowledgment and acceptance and dispelling fear. And the only way to dispel fear is to embrace it and to thank it for every time it ever saved you from making a bad decision, ever saved you from yourself, ever intervened on your behalf. But when you turn your life path over to it, when you relinquish your own personal power to fear, and you let it live you, then you only live a half life." 54:25 Controversy and the Facts about Bathsheba Sherman Norma, the current owner of the farmhouse contacted Patrick at BigSeance.com a few years ago, with several claims and thoughts on the movie and Andrea's books. 56:45 "She walked into the house and she put her hand down on the corner of the black stove in the kitchen. And she covered her eyes and she said, 'There's a malignant force in this house. There's a malicious presence in this house. Her name is Bathsheba.'" 1:00:15 Responding to Criticism Andrea's powerful and emotional response to Norma's claims. 1:04:49 "And my mother reluctantly turned that notebook over to her, including all of her recollections, and all of her sketches and drawings of everything that she had seen in the house.

Announcement! Submit Your Questions for the Halloween Seance with Karen A. Dahlman! Visit BigSeance.com/feedback. I have a brief announcement and reminder for you. You may be wondering why I showed up on your phone or in your app, without starting out with, "Big Seance Podcast episode… fill in the blank". Well… It's because you need to make sure you're involved in our upcoming Halloween seance! I will be recording our Halloween seance with Ouija expert, Karen A. Dahlman and her board partner Rodney on Thursday, October 13th, 2016. As I'm sure you know by now, it will not be live, like we previously announced, but after we pre-record the seance, I'll then work on releasing the video as soon as possible. I'll also put out an actual podcast episode eventually with audio highlights from the seance. So here's what we need from you. We need your questions for the seance. Karen herself chimed in in the Big Seance Parlor on Saturday afternoon with some great tips and suggestions for questions. Here's what she had to say: I want everyone to know that you can ask ANY QUESTION you would like for our Seance Session. You are not limited to just the deceased! We can communicate with your animals, address past life curiosities, receive messages from Spirit, ask for guidance/inspiration in your personal life, inquire about any other information you are seeking... Be creative and ask your burning questions! In addition to these questions, I plan on having a few questions of my own ready to go, and I'll be focusing on contacting the spirits of several pioneers in the paranormal field. Submitting Your Questions for the Halloween Seance So how are you going to submit your questions? We REALLY want your question recorded in an audio format, with you introducing or not introducing yourself, however you choose. Remember that this audio will be featured in the video. The best way to learn to do that is by going to BigSeance.com/Feedback, and there you'll find two simple ways to send in recordings of your questions. Of course, you can always e-mail your printed questions to me at [email protected] as well. But again, PLEASE go to BigSeance.com/Feedback to learn how to send your question in an audio format, and that will make our Halloween Seance really great! What's my deadline? It's Monday, October 10th at the time I'm throwing this out there, so you probably have until the early morning hours of the 13th, Central US time, to get your audio in. We've already got a few that I'm really excited about. And if you'd like to get an idea of what we're planning, you can watch our LIVE Ouija Session with Karen from February 26, 2016. The fastest and easiest way to get there is to go to BigSeance.com/LIVE to see all our past live events.
