Life, Death, and all points in between

“Old age ain’t no place for sissies” – Bette Davis

It may take a decade – or several – but when you eventually realize the ladder of success has a flip top – you can hop off and have a whole lot more fun exploring the spooky fringe.

The ghost who keeps bugging the dog can get in line behind the corporeal issues today.

Things no one tells you about getting older: They’re still not telling.

According to my mom: NO ONE ANSWERS the OVER 60 Free Legal Help for Seniors Hotline. It is a perpetual time suck that sends you from one recorded line to the next. She called (severely overheated) to inform me of that travesty shortly before I was due at my health appointment [perfectly timed for my blood pressure update].

After a few quick questions and a google search, I redirected her to the main/online page/website for that department and left for my appointment.

She cooled down, found the site, filled out a form and has been advised that she is on a list and someone will call in 3 to 5 days. [The clock is ticking… along with the fuse.]

This is why I prefer dealing with the endless parade of non-physical, unexplained enigmas [ETs, Ghosts, Fairies, Sasquatch, etc.], and all things liberated from the inane, bureaucratic fixated wormhole commonly referred to as ‘reality’…

For Mom – and all elders trying to adjust to an increasingly fickle social landscape – ‘Thelma’ is based on the real-life experience of writer-director Josh Margolin’s grandmother: YouTube / Vulture Interview.

In the film, the 93-year-old Thelma (June Squibb) gets duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson, then sets out on a treacherous quest across the city to reclaim what was taken from her.

The film world premiered to critical acclaim at Sundance, where Magnolia landed rights in a competitive situation. Details. Source. June 2024 release date.

Mystery unsolved: The Hum

Can you hear the Hum? This video explores the mystery. YouTube.

In the comments: “I lived in Taos for many years, and I have personally heard the hum. For me, the sound is louder on the other side of town toward the mountains, and not out by Two Peaks and the Gorge Bridge. I talked to an old-time local about it, and he told me there is a “hollow” mountain in Taos Canyon, containing a secret military installation. This is consistent with another incident that happened to me in the canyon, so this is plausible. Also.. For a brief time during a return to Taos, I lived in the same hotel you stayed at for about 6 months. It looks like the place has experienced a major renovation since then, haha. Great video!”

Wendy’s Podcast – Meg Hansen

A great resource for guided Meditation Audios is Meg Hansen of Metaphysical Ireland: “From Automatic Writing, Spirit Guide contact, Mediumship, Telepathy and Remote Viewing to Psychic Archaeology, it’s an experiential adventure of a lifetime.”

Our interview is available on YouTube and on the various podcast sites. We covered a variety of topics and the interview is longer than I usually post but I didn’t want to cut it short. She talks about losing everything in the Woolsey Fire and her process of recovering from PTSD.

Women’s History Month

A new blog discovery. Paranormal Women.

Facebook: Allison Jornlin – Fortean, Speaker, Writer – “Happy Women’s History Month! I’ve launched this blog devoted to Paranormal Women everywhere who have contributed mightily to the field. Paranormal Women is a brand-new domain, but will get better every day this month. Enjoy! I’m challenging myself to see how many women I can add to the blog before next Friday, which is #internationalwomensday! #WomensHistoryMonth2024“

Here are the first two women.

Catherine Crowe: “Catherine has sadly fallen into obscurity because she was sidelined by a trumped up scandal. It’s been well over 150 years and unfortunately we still don’t read beyond the headlines.” Read on.

Thelma Moss: “University-level parapsychology. It’s mostly the stuff of legend in the United States. But for ten years one woman led an incredibly high-profile lab at UCLA.” Read on.
