About Me

Behind Every Cloud is a Kindred Spirit (BECKS)I lost my grandfather when I was 17. I had a VERY difficult time getting over it. How could I still communicate with him? I loved him so much I didn't think I could live without him. I read everything I could get my hands on to do with the "afterlife" and that started it all...the love of Ghost Hunting and the Paranormal. I have been researching the paranormal for over 37 years!! It is my way of staying in touch with my grandfather. Being a Ghost Hunter is not always as exciting as it seems on TV. Many nights I have sat in the dark and not a thing happened. BUT it is those times you DO get that one voice, that one explainable picture or have an experience that sends chills down your back that makes it sooo worth it all!!! My purpose of this blog is not to make people believe in ghosts but maybe to open their minds just a little bit... I LOVE this crazy thing called Ghost Hunting. It is as much a part of me as breathing. I am just a girl that refuses to accept we can't still contact our loved ones after they die. My grandfather won't let me.

Truth or Legend? A Mother’s Ghost Saves Her Son

haunted highway
In the wee hours of June 10, 1994, Deborah Hoyt awoke with a start. She was staying with her husband at a relative’s home in Sacramento, CA, but felt she must leave immediately. The winding mountain road between Sacramento and the Hoyts’ own home in Lake Tahoe made Deborah uneasy, especially at night, but the urge to leave was overwhelming.
“I just felt like there was something pulling me up the mountain,” Hoyt said in an appearance on Paranormal Witness.
At a section of Highway 50 known as Bullion Bend, near Placerville, Deborah spotted a nude woman lying near the shoulder of the road. The woman was positioned on her side, bent legs together with an arm over her head. She was ghastly pale and looked dead.
Horrified, Deborah and her husband drove to the nearest phone and called the police. Sheriff’s deputy Rich Strasser arrived at the scene, but found no trace of a woman, nude or otherwise.

A Disappearance

Four days earlier Christene Skubish, 24, and her son Nick, 3, left her parents’ home near Sacramento to embark on a new life. Bound for Southern California, Christene was excited to begin a new job and provide a better life for her son. However, the pair never made it to a friend’s house as planned. The concerned friend eventually phoned Christene’s father who alerted authorities. The police brushed off the report at first, saying Christene and Nick would eventually show up.

Odd Dreams

Meanwhile, Christene’s aunt began having strange dreams. In one, she was riding in the backseat of a car and saw the silhouette of a woman and a young boy riding up front. It was night, and the car was traveling in a heavily wooded area. In another dream, Christene and Nick stood in a yard as hurricane-force winds whipped leaves from the trees. Christene tried and tried to reach her son, but the howling wind repeatedly pushed her back. The aunt asked Christene if she was okay, but a haunted-looking Christene said no.
The aunt’s dreams had come true in the past, and she was sure something terrible had befallen Christene and Nick. Frightened, she called Christene’s father and then left to look for the missing pair.

A Terrible Discovery

Back in Placerville, Deputy Rich Strasser couldn’t forget the report of a nude woman near the road. Deborah Hoyt seemed like a credible witness, and Strasser was certain she’d seen something. After learning about Christene and Nick’s disappearance, Strasser wondered if the two incidents were related. On a hunch, he returned to Bullion Bend to scour the area.
The deputy found nothing out of the ordinary at first, but he soon came across a child’s shoe. After peering into the brush, Strasser spotted a demolished car at the bottom of a 40-foot embankment. He raced to the vehicle and found Christene and Nick inside. Christene was dead, her body fully clothed in the driver’s seat. Nick was curled up nude in the passenger seat, alive, but in critical condition.
Nick ultimately survived his injuries, though he’d gone five days without food or water. Authorities believe Christene fell asleep at the wheel, leading her car to plunge off the highway and roll down the steep embankment. The coroner determined that she’d died upon impact or shortly thereafter.

Help from Beyond

Though he was only three at the time, Nick says he remembers the accident and the long nights after. He remembers climbing up and down the embankment. He remembers a glowing white light hovering near the mangled vehicle and a shadowy figure standing nearby. He remembers telling his family about the angel that had watched over him.
Christene was fully clothed when Strasser found her, and authorities believe she died soon after the crash. So who was the dead woman on the roadside? Hoyt believes it was a spirit sent by God to save Nick before it was too late. Christene’s friends and family believe she watched over her son, even after death, appearing as a nude apparition to get the attention of passing motorists.
“I absolutely think something special happened here,” Deputy Strasser said on Paranormal Witness. “I think it is a miracle. It’s a whole series of events that I can’t explain. I’ve often thought about it. I just don’t have the answers.”

Truth or Legend?

Unlike many paranormal tales, the facts of this case have been well documented. Christene Skubish indeed ran off the road near Bullion Bend, and Deborah Hoyt indeed reported a naked woman near the accident site BEFORE anyone knew about the accident. So who, or what, did she see?
The most intriguing theory is that Christene’s ghost remained near the wreckage and appeared nude to draw attention to Nick. Some versions of the tale claim “numerous motorists” called authorities about seeing a naked woman near Bullion Bend. However, mainstream coverage of the event only mentions Deborah Hoyt’s report.
Another theory is that Deborah saw Nick on the road, not Christene. After all, police did find Nick naked in the vehicle and he does remember climbing up and down the embankment. It was also dark and Deborah may not have seen the figure clearly. Could she have confused the three-year-old boy with a grown woman?
The other paranormal elements of this story – Deborah Hoyt’s sudden urge to leave, the aunt’s dreams, the white light, and the figure watching over Nick in the car – are interesting, but of course impossible to prove.
What do you think of this story? Do you believe something supernatural occurred or is there a more logical explanation?

PERSONAL CONNECTIONS. DO WE HAVE ONE???

At a time when ghostly encounters are sadly and most often depicted as, and defined by people covered in electronic gadgets and shouting out the names of the deceased into moldy basements and dark attics, is that our "connection" to the other side?  Does that mean we have a "personal connection"?

Communicating with the spirits of the dead is a timeless fascination, and today is no exception.  Our society is inundated with paranormal media, leaving many to wonder how much of what we see and hear is real. If someone claims to have "all the answers"...beware...none of us...and I do mean NONE OF US have ALL the answers.  Now with that said, I DO believe that some...not all of us...have had TRULY personal connections with someone that has passed away....be it a loved one, friend, teacher, spouse or someone that has just touched our life in a very special way.


So lets talk about that.  Do I feel I have a "personal connection" with MY Nan?(Grandfather) You BETTER believe that I DO!!!!!  And so do MANY of you!!!  A "personal connection" with someone that has passed away can be something like.......lets say  a "feeling" a moment that "beyond a shadow doubt" that you feel or sense that person is with you in that exact moment.  You suddenly smile for know reason, you shed a tear just because you looked out your window and saw a blue bird on your mothers bird feeder......and you remember very vividly her joy as she would watch the birds out her window.

I am going to share a VERY PERSONAL experience of someone very dear to me and that I love so much and are so honored that he would allow me to write about HIS "personal connection".  This story is about my boyfriend Deak and his "personal connection" to his wife who he lost in 2008 to cancer.  She left behind two small boys, one 9-Grant and one was 12-Chase and one devastated husband who she had been with for 26 wonderful years.  Let me also state that writing this is no easy task but I want you, my readers, to understand that you CAN and DO have "personal connections" to your loved ones.....there is no need for you to feel like you have to have other people believe you in a world where "doubt" seems to come all to easy when you are talking about the paranormal.


As stated, Deak and Susan had been married for many years.  They enjoyed an exceptionally good relationship, they respected each other, loved each other and were the best of friends. They both loved to travel and many times took the boys on memorable vacations. Their life consisted of TWO VERY IMPORTANT things......their boys, Grant(9) and Chase(12) and HOCKEY..........but not just any hockey team......they lived and breathed CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS Hockey!!!!  Deak is originally from Chicago and Susan from Minnesota where they both developed a very passionate love for the sport.

Deak and Susan had a small but comfortable home when Deak began to climb the "corporate ladder".  One day Susan noticed that she had a lump on her inner thigh that became painful and sore.  Deciding to go to the doctor and have it checked out a biopsy was performed and the news unfortunately wasn't good.......completely blindsided.........she had cancer. After many doctors visits and several years of surgery's  Susan was diagnosed CANCER FREE!!!! They couldn't have been happier!!!!  They decided to pursue a bigger house and better school system for their sons.  So they bought a beautiful new home and moved in on Deak's birthday in July, 2007.  Things seem to be going just the way they planned.  Susan was a stay at home mom and devoted her time to taking the boys to and from Hockey practice and making a loving home for Deak.  Deak continued to work hard and became a successful VP of a Fortune 500 company.

Enjoying her new life in their dream home, Susan was soon told that the cancer had returned. Being of strong will.....Susan never lost faith that she would "beat the cancer" and a couple of times they thought she had. But, the cancer kept coming back..... and each time with more of a vengeance than the time before.  The cancer would soon take it's toll on Susan's body turning this beautiful, young woman into a weak and frail soul that soon became bed ridden.  But this NEVER affected Susan's need to still try and be a loving Mom and Wife to Deak and the boys....and Deak would not falter.....not allowing anyone BUT him to care for his love....he worked during the day....and the minute he arrived home after a long days work....he would stay up all night giving Susan her medication, her shots and care for her in everyway possible.  After several months of Chemo and sleepless nights of administering pain medication....... Deak and Susan lost their battle......leaving Deak alone with two small boys who would be growing up without a Mother to raise on his own.

Deak and the boys turned to traveling  and music as a way of coping with the loss of Susan following the group U2 around the country and traveling to the Blackhawks games.  Now, here is where the "personal connection" comes in IN A BIG WAY!!!  It was 2010 and the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup after forty-nine years!!!  Deak and the boys were on CLOUD NINE!!!! Tradition is that the first game AFTER the season ends, they (the Blackhawks) celebrate by hanging the Championship banner in the stadium.  Deak and the boys were sitting in their living room of the house they had bought with the thought that this would be a place Susan and them would be for a long, long time enjoying many fond memories.  The Blackhawks celebration ceremony came on and the song WITH OR WITHOUT YOU by U2 began to play.  This was a SPECIAL day for more than one reason.........for more than the Blackhawks winning the Stanley Cup............. it was Deak and Susan's wedding anniversary!!!!  The song is very moving if you listen to the words.......it's about going on WITH OR WITHOUT someone.   Deak and the boys were shocked and became very emotional as the song began to play..........for them, hearing WITH OR WITHOUT YOU during the Blackhawks celebration, they felt her presence.  They KNEW this was no coincidence, as this was her way of letting them know she is still a part of their lives.

So you tell me...............was this a "personal connection" from the other side???? Blackhawks win the Cup???? The U2 Song??? And on their wedding anniversary???


Now, I know "personal connections" are different for everyone.  But make no mistake about it......Do we have personal connections to our loved ones that have passed????  The simple answer is "YES"........ just ask Deak and the boys.

PHANTOM PHONE CALLS



Western Electric Model 202



What would you do...... One day your phone rings and when you answer it.....there.....on the other end.....you HEAR the voice...... of your loved one that had just pasted away???

Often, the stories of receiving "ghost call" from a loved, is of a last minute message, such as "I love you" or "Goodbye."  The loved one receiving the true long-distance call is often shocked, recognizing the voice on the other end of the phone as being a deceased family member.
 
I can tell you from a PERSONAL experience I have seen this happen.  Not to me, but to a friend of mine.  I have a friend that lost a daughter is a violent car accident.  A couple days after the accident, we were standing in my front yard with his wife and myself.  All of the sudden, HER(Wife) cell phone rang.  She didn't recognize the number that appeared on her phones caller ID but went ahead and answered it.  She said "hello" and almost instantly her face went blank......... and her hand started to shake!!!!  We asked "What?  What's wrong?" and she suddenly burst out in tears!!!!  My friend grabbed his wife's phone and said "HELLO!" and there was no one there!!!!  He looked at his wife and asked..... "WHO WAS IT???"  As she began to slump to the ground she said "Terrie" (their daughter that was killed in the accident)  He looked at her with confusion and so did I !!!!!! Did she mean Terrie THEIR DAUGHTER????  She said that the voice on the other end said "Mom, I Love you".  Without a doubt, she pleaded, "it WAS Terrie!!!!!!!! I heard her as plain as day!!!!!!!!!!!!"  Terrie was an only child so it couldn't have been any of her other children calling to say "I love you".  She grabbed the phone from her husband and held it tightly to her chest......sobbing saying "my baby....my baby wanted me to know she loves me".   I was there!  I saw the phone ring with the strange number......I believe that she heard her daughter........Maybe SHE knew her Mom needed one LAST CALL.   
 
Strange enough, when such ghost calls from the dead occur, caller ID screens have been said to display weird phone numbers, such as 000-000-0000. There have even been reports of people receiving the ghost calls as messages on their answering machine or voice mail!  
 
I wanted to share another story about Phantom Calls.   Below is a letter a lady wrote to another ghost group.  And then there is a recording that she received on her answering machine from....who she believes to be her departed Mother.....what do you think?
 
"We came home one weekend and this was on our answering machine....not sure what it is. If it's not an EVP I'm not going to worry about it. My mom passed away five years ago, and of course, I'd like to think it's her. I can almost make out it saying my name.....probably wishful thinking. I almost deleted it, but thought I'd check caller ID first. There were no calls from anyone we didn't know, and the one or two that did call left messages. It was unusual to me, because of the way the voice sounded. I've never received anything like that before. Plus, I got chill bumps when I first heard it, because it sounded so much like my name. That's got to mean something." - Lanna
 
Recorded ghost message saying "hey Lanna"
 
 
If YOU have ever experienced such calls, PLEASE write me and tell me your story.  I would love to hear them.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TALK TO GHOSTS. WILL YOU DO IT FOR ME???

One of the things I hear people say when they are out on an investigation or tour with me is "I don't know how to talk to ghosts.  I don't know what to say."  Then the next thing I hear is "you do it"!  Ok.  First let me say, I totally understand that it is weird or makes you feel a "little crazy" talking out loud to someone you can not see or hear.  But I assure, you are NOT ALONE. (and I mean that in more than ONE way. LOL) 


I don't mind AT ALL when people ask me to do the talking.  See, when you have been talking to the dead for 30 plus years.....it's no big deal.  LOL  But for someone just starting out.....it is!!! So here are some easy questions just to get you going and we've all heard them on TV but some of the questions have to be asked over and over to get the answers we are looking for.  I know they sound repetitive, because they are......but each location is different so at each location it's kinda like starting over again.
1.  Does anyone want to talk with me?
2.  How old are you?
3.  What happened to you?
4.  Are there more than one spirits here?
5.  Can you show yourself?
6.  Are you a male or female?
7.  Are you a child?
8.  If you were killed by someone else, do you know who that person is?
9.  What year did you die?
10.  Do you know the current year now?

That is just a few simple questions you can ask to try and put together a profile of the spirit or spirits you are communicating with.  And listen....don't be afraid to ask any questions.  Anything you want to know....just ask. :)

On my last tour, one of the guest on the tour was my niece, CaLisa and she ask me a really good question....."Aunt Becky(because I'm Aunt Becky to her...not crazy ghost lady.LOL) What if you are wanting  to talk to a particular spirit?  How can you know if that particular spirit can hear you and someone else doesn't come through?  Good question CaLisa!!!  One thing I will CAUTION you about.....if you go into a location and say " Is ANYONE here who wants to talk to me(question #1 above)..... be sure that you are willing to talk to ANYONE that will come through.  Here's the problem with that.  ANYONE could mean, lets say the victim or the KILLER!!!  I try to do my research on a location first, because I want to KNOW the spirits I am talking to.  But back to CaLisa's question.  Here's how I tired to explain it to her...  Let's say Calisa.......you and I went to a concert and the band was playing really loud.....I am on one side of the stage and you are on another.  (just like spirits are on ONE SIDE and WE ARE on another).  I see YOU on the other side and I want to get just YOUR attention....so I start yelling(now I don't mean start YELLING for spirits...literally. LOL) I start yelling CALISA.....CALISA....trying to get JUST your attention....but in the process other people turn around when they hear me.  But I keep yelling CALISA in hopes I will get your attention.   Finally...you hear me and come over.   Same thing with spirits.  If you want to talk to a particular spirit, call for them and THEM only.  Now, that's not to say you may not get a couple of spirits that want to "but in" but after a bit the spirit you are trying to communicate with should come through for you.

So don't be afraid to give it a try.  They(spirit's) don't care what your asking them, their just glad your talking to them. :)  One more thing.......DON'T forget your protection prayers before and after trying to communicate with a spirit.  This is a VERY important detail!!!  Now, get out there......and ask your questions!!!!
