Sally Richards

About Sally Richards:
Author Sally Richards had a near-death experience (NDE) when she drowned at the age of eight in Hawaii. Growing up in the 50th state, she, just like the other kids, learned a healthy respect for the dead ancestors who fiercely protected the sacred sites on the islands. Although able to see the dead before this time, her mediumship abilities seemed to become clearer after her drowning incident. Richards continued finding herself first on the scene of several murders, as the victims drew her to the locations and begged her to find justice.

Years later she experienced her second NDE when she was hit by lightning during a severe pre-Hurricane Katrina storm. Her abilities seemed to reach a higher level after this, and she then set out to learn about what was beyond the veil between life and death. After spending years at the century-old Spiritualist camps across the country, taking classes and training from the senior members in the hierarchies, she trained as a medium and shifted those skills toward her work as a paranormal investigator, searching the globe for haunted locations, amazing stories, and unquestionable evidence.

Sandra Carrington-Smith

About Sandra Carrington-Smith:
Sandra Carrington-Smith is an Italian-born author who relocated to the United States in the late 80’s after marrying a US soldier who was serving overseas. Although writing was Sandra’s deepest passion since childhood, her dream of becoming a published author had to be placed on hold for several years. Moving to a new country provided several challenges, the biggest one being the language barrier she encountered when she first arrived. In order to become fully integrated, Sandra tapped into her love for reading, and over time her vocabulary grew extensively. She gave birth to three children and devoted most of her time to raising a family. By the time she was in her late 30’s, Sandra decided to revisit her old passion for writing, and penned a novel of paranormal suspense, The Book of Obeah, followed by a self-improvement book, Housekeeping for the Soul: A Practical Guide to Restoring Your Inner Sanctuary. Both titles were sold to the same publisher and released in 2010, and The Book of Obeah went on to win an international book award. The Book of Obeah has been optioned for film, and production is expected to start early summer 2013. It will also be released as an audio book in the second quarter of 2013 by Cherry Hill Publishing, and narrated by Dave Fennoy, better known as the Hulu Guy. Currently, Sandra is working on two new novels: The Rosaries (the sequel of The Book of Obeah) which is scheduled to release at the end of fall 2012, and Shadows of a Tuscan Moon. Killer in Sight (A Tom Lackey Mystery) was released in May 2012. Sandra Carrington-Smith lives in Raleigh, NC, with her husband, children and three cats.

The Apollo 14 mission was NASA’s third manned lunar landing. This historic journey ended safely nine days later on February 9, 1971. It was an audacious time in the history of mankind. For Mitchell, however, the most extraordinary journey was yet to come. As he hurtled earthward through the abyss between the two worlds, Mitchell became engulfed by a profound sensation “a sense of universal connectedness.” He intuitively sensed that his presence, that of his fellow astronauts, and that of the planet in the window were all part of a deliberate, universal process and that the glittering cosmos itself was in some way conscious. The experience was so overwhelming Mitchell knew his life would never be the same. Scientist, test pilot, naval officer, astronaut, entrepreneur, author and lecturer, Dr. Mitchell’s extraordinary career personifies humankind’s eternal thrust to widen its horizons as well as its inner soul.

After retiring from the Navy in 1972, Dr. Mitchell founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences to sponsor research into the nature of consciousness as it relates to cosmology and causality. In 1984, he was a co-founder of the Association of Space Explorers, an international organization of those who have experienced space travel. He is the author of “Psychic Exploration,” 1974, “The Way of the Explorer,” 1996, (Third edition, 2006) as well as dozens of articles in both professional and popular periodicals.

Dark Side of Fairies with Dr. Bob Curran

We all know about fairies—they’re usually helpful, ethereal creatures in children’s stories and Walt Disney films, flitting about doing good, right? Dr. Bob Curran says – Wrong! In ancient times, the concept of fairies was rather different. They were the often-dangerous embodiment of the land, dark and unpredictable spirits that watched Humanity with a jaundiced and hostile eye. And, according to conventional folk wisdom, they were to be feared rather than trusted. Indeed, in their original form, many of our “fairy tales” read more like late-night horror stories. Dr. Bob Curran investigates the folkloric roots of the fairy kind, tracing their origins from the sprites and maenads of Classical times to the sanitized versions of the English Victorians. Among other aspects, he examines the connections in the Christian mind between the fairy kind and demons; the links between fairies and ancient, pagan gods; and the often-strained relations between fairies and humans across the ages.

The Possibility of Everything with Hope Edelman

Kala speaks with Hope Edelman about her book – The Possibility of Everything. In the autumn of 2000, Hope Edelman was a woman adrift, questioning her marriage, her profession, and her place in the larger world. Feeling vulnerable and isolated, she was primed for change. Into her stagnant routine dropped Dodo, her three-year-old daughter Maya’s curiously disruptive imaginary friend. Confused and worried about how to handle Dodo’s apparent hold on their daughter, Edelman and her husband made the unlikely choice to take her to Maya healers in Belize, hoping that a shaman might help them banish Dodo—and, as they came to understand, all he represented—from their lives. An account of how an otherwise mainstream mother and wife finds herself making an extremely unorthodox choice, The Possibility of Everything chronicles the magical week in Central America that transformed Edelman from a person whose past had led her to believe only in the visible and the “proven” to someone open to the idea of larger, unseen forces.

Real Vampires and Creatures from the Dark Side with Brad Steiger

Kala speaks with Brad Steiger about his book Real Vampires, Night Stalkers and Creatures from the Darkside. A chilling chronicle by Steiger who shares that vampires are not immortal, do not have fangs or sleep in coffins, and have no fear of sunlight or crucifixes, the examination dispels many myths but also confirms the truth behind several traits of real vampires, such as the insatiable thirst for blood and the dream of an eternal soul. Complete with 30 spine-tingling tales of the hideous wraiths and creatures that lurk in shadow, this fascinating collection includes the stories of the Mexican prostitute who mesmerized an entire village, convincing them she was an Incan goddess who required human sacrifice for her magic.

Werewolves: A Field Guide to Shapeshifters with Dr. Bob Curran

Kala speaks with Bob Curran about his book, Werewolves; A Field Guide to Shapeshiters, Lycanthropes, and Man-Beasts. Most of us are familiar with the idea of a werewolf-that someone can change, either deliberately or unwillingly, into a ravenous creature-but is there some justification for such a belief? And if so, how is it achieved-through magical potions or ointments or simply by the light of the full moon? Or is the whole thing simply a form of delusion, the product of a disturbed mind? In Werewolves, author Dr. Bob Curran examines the deep psychological roots that underlie this profane linking of human and beast. Do the roots of such a belief lie in the supernatural world, or are there other explanations? How has the discovery of feral children shaped our ideas of human-beasts? And what is the future of such beliefs? The author also considers the use of genetic engineering-in this case, the fusing of human and animal genes-in order to cure some human diseases and alleviate suffering. Is the idea of man turning into beast really so far fetched? Werewolves is an essential reference book that takes an in-depth look at a fascinating subject. One word of warning, though: It must never be read under the baleful rays of a full moon. You have been warned!
More About Dr. Bob Curran:
Dr. Bob Curran was born in County Down, Northern Ireland. After leaving school, he held down a number of jobs and travelled extensively in several countries. Returning to Northern Ireland, he went to University before becoming a teacher and lecturer.

When Ghosts Speak with Ghost Whisperer Mary Ann Winkowski

Kala speaks with Mary Ann Winkowski, the real GhostWhisperer, on whom the TV show Ghost Whisperer is based. Mary Ann Winkowski talks to dead people—she sees them all the time, everywhere. Her earliest memories include speaking with spirits of the deceased as if they were living people and helping these entities come to terms with their unfinished business on earth and cross over to the other side. In WHEN GHOSTS SPEAK: UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD OF EARTHBOUND SPIRITS (Grand Central Publishing mass market; October 2009) Mary Ann shares a lifetime’s worth of information about the spirit world and reveals her often surprising interactions with some memorable ghosts. Mary Ann shows the human side of the paranormal—stories about ghosts from the ghosts’ perspectives—and teaches us how we can coexist peaceably with the spirits that surround us.

Join Kala and Mary Ann as they discuss topics from Mary Ann’s book including:

The Truth About Ghosts—they do not “draw” energy from your TV or other electrical devices, they do not have ‘super powers’, they cannot walk through you and you cannot walk through them, and earthbound ghosts know that they are dead.

Where Ghosts Congregate—contrary to popular belief, cemeteries are not the most haunted spots on earth. They will gather anywhere they are likely to find sources of emotional energy (think shopping malls, theaters, amusement parks, hospital emergency rooms)

The White Light—this manifestation of positive energy provides an opportunity for ghosts ‘stuck’ on earth to cross over. Mary Ann is able to create it on the spot, and tells her readers how they can begin to access the special powers of this potent force.

Why Some Souls Stay Behind—while spirits are meant to go into the Light once they leave their bodies, they often stay here for many reasons including attachments to places or things, fear of final judgment or punishment, seeking revenge or pursuing justice, or staying to protect the living

More About Mary Ann Winkowski:
Mary Ann Winkowski was born in Cleveland Ohio and has been communicating with Earthbound spirits for most of her life. Her earliest memories include talking to spirits of the deceased as if they were living people and helping these entities cross over into The White Light. Over the course of work as a paranormal investigator, Mary Ann’s reputation has spread.

She is a consultant to the CBS hit television show Ghost Whisperer, has appeared on numerous TV and radio news programs, and spoken at countless lectures. What once she did between raising two daughters, foster parenting, and pet grooming has now become a fulltime vocation. Still living and working primarily in the Cleveland area, Mary Ann has offered her abilities to those in need as far away as New Mexico, St. Lucia, and Scotland. In WHEN GHOSTS SPEAK: UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD OF EARTHBOUND SPIRITS (Grand Central Publishing, October 22, 2007)

Mary Ann shares a lifetime’s worth of information about the spirit world and reveals her often surprising interactions with some memorable ghosts. Mary Ann shows the human side of the paranormal—stories about ghosts told from the perspectives of the ghosts themselves-and teaches us how we can coexist peaceably with the spirits that surround us. Unlike the sensationalized tales of most ghost lore, WHEN GHOST SPEAK presents real stories of troubled people—both the living and the dead—not simply the terror of sinister paranormal manifestations served up by the horror novels and Hollywood.

Mary Ann offers lessons on death and the immortality of the spirit that only someone who can actually speak with the deceased could teach. Her abilities have offered solace to countless people, either by reuniting them with loved ones who have died or by removing unwanted spirits and negative energy from homes, businesses or possessions.

Paranormal State with Ryan Buell

Kala speaks with Ryan Buell about PRS and his show, Paranormal State. PARANORMAL STATE is a half-hour series chronicling the extraordinary life of Ryan Buell and other members of the Penn State University Club The Paranormal Research Society (PRS) as they seek to find the truth behind terrifying real life mysteries, hauntings and ghosts. In some ways, the members of PRS are your basic college kids – dealing with the problems of school, dating, and finding their way in the world. The difference is that these students are drawn to examining “other” worlds as well — working on cases that include ghosts, hauntings and other paranormal phenomena. Each week, they are contacted for help by outside parties ranging from the Catholic Church to ordinary families who are terrified by unusual events in their homes.

More About Ryan Buell:
Ryan Buell founded the Paranormal Research Society the first month he arrived on campus in September 2001. Buell always knew he was interested in the paranormal ever since he could read. He regularly checked out books from the library ranging from poltergeists to the Bermuda Triangle. A native of Sumter, South Carolina, Buell began investigating at the age of 15. His first investigation was on the Salem-Black River Church just outside of his hometown. Buell got his first degree in May 2006. He is now finishing another degree while working on the first season of “Paranormal State.” Buell’s ultimate goals are to produce documentaries and encourage discussion on the paranormal. He hopes to continue growing as a paranormal investigator and to eventually push PRS in to a more academic setting. More info at: www.pennstateprs.com

The Way of the Explorer with Dr. Edgar Mitchell

Kala speaks with astronaut Edgar Mitchell. In his book, The Way of the Explorer, Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut and the founder of Noetic Sciences, traces two remarkable journeys—one through space and one through the mind. Mitchell is a brilliant and intriguing man who turned his attention to the nature of consciousness. Explore the realms of space and time…

Dr. Edgar Mitchell

More About Dr. Edgar Mitchell:
On January 31, 1971, Navy Captain Dr. Edgar Mitchell embarked on a journey into outer space that resulted in becoming the sixth man to walk on the moon. The Apollo 14 mission was NASA’s third manned lunar landing. This historic journey ended safely nine days later on February 9, 1971. It was an audacious time in the history of mankind. For Mitchell, however, the most extraordinary journey was yet to come. As he hurtled earthward through the abyss between the two worlds, Mitchell became engulfed by a profound sensation “a sense of universal connectedness.” He intuitively sensed that his presence, that of his fellow astronauts, and that of the planet in the window were all part of a deliberate, universal process and that the glittering cosmos itself was in some way conscious. The experience was so overwhelming Mitchell knew his life would never be the same. Scientist, test pilot, naval officer, astronaut, entrepreneur, author and lecturer, Dr. Mitchell’s extraordinary career personifies humankind’s eternal thrust to widen its horizons as well as its inner soul. His academic background includes a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Management from Carnegie Mellon University, a Bachelor of Science from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School and a Doctor of Science in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT. In addition he has received honorary doctorates in engineering from New Mexico State University, the University of Akron, Carnegie Mellon University and a ScD from Embry-Riddle University.

Dr. Mitchell has received many awards and honors including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the USN Distinguished Medal and three NASA Group Achievement Awards. He was inducted to the Space Hall of Fame in 1979 and the Astronaut Hall of Fame in 1998. He was a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005. After retiring from the Navy in 1972, Dr. Mitchell founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences to sponsor research into the nature of consciousness as it relates to cosmology and causality. In 1984, he was a co-founder of the Association of Space Explorers, an international organization of those who have experienced space travel. He is the author of “Psychic Exploration,” 1974, “The Way of the Explorer,” 1996, (Third edition, 2006) as well as dozens of articles in both professional and popular periodicals. He has devoted the last 35 years to studying human consciousness and psychic and paranormal phenomena in the search for a common ground between science and spirit.
