Psychometry: When Hauntings Follow You Home

SPEAKER_01 0:00

On this week's episode of Three Cups and a Dash of Spirituality, my two friends are gonna help me work through some spiritual experiences I've had lately. And then we're gonna talk about haunted locations and psychometry. It's a really fun episode. And if you like what you're hearing in this episode, we have a whole library. So download it wherever you listen to your podcast. Now, let's get this episode started. Hey everyone, welcome to this week's episode of Three Cuts in a Dash of Spirituality. I am Michelle and I'm here with Stacey. Hello, everybody. And Carissa.

SPEAKER_02 0:39

Hello, hello.

SPEAKER_01 0:40

Hello, hello, ladies. Now, today I'm gonna need a little bit of your help because I've had a couple experiences lately that are kind of freaking me out. Absolutely. What's happening? Okay, so you know, back in June, I went to the Velisca Axe house, had some experiences there. It kind of attached to me. Stacy disconnected it during a Reiki session, but the house is reaching out still. The other day I left my house and I left the TV on because of the dogs. And when I came back, at the exact time I came back, an episode of Kindred Spirits was starting about the Veliska Axe House. How random is that? They have like 71 episodes. They don't run them all in one day, but on this particular day. And when I listened to it, the experience was very similar to what we described when we talked about. So that was really weird. And then the other really weird thing that happened, Rob and I were in the car in Arizona, and all of a sudden the street map came on to go to the restaurant in Velisca. Like it just popped up. It did it twice, and I got a picture the second time. But I'm like, what's going on? Is it just like playing with me? Is it just like I'm letting you go?

SPEAKER_00 2:00

Like, what's going on? So my gut is telling me that it's trying to get you to reconnect to it. Because when we went through and cleared that and disconnected you from it, it was a really kind of playful, tricky energy that that almost like very subtly connected. If I don't sure if that makes a whole lot of sense, but whenever I was doing Reiki and kind of clearing, clearing that out, I do recall you you sharing a little bit of of the story, you know, at the time. And it felt to me like ever the experience in itself was was kind of innate. It wasn't bad. You you had good juju from it essentially, but it was this subtle entrapment. It felt very much so like you know those those plants that eat the fly-eating plants, the fly traps, yeah, Venus fly traps. That's what it felt like, you know, kind of luring you in to connect. So my immediate gut pull is to say it's just trying to get you to reconnect to it because it liked your your energy and where you are a psychic medium and you do have those these kinds of experiences, it wants it's you're you're a beacon to it.

SPEAKER_02 3:20

So when my intuition it was you you got to cut your ties with it, which is really interesting because it's essentially the same thing, but not, and this is really fascinating how different intuition comes out, but they're all connected. So I'm wondering if there is a piece of you, Michelle, that you have to cut ties when it is trying to pull you in. And what would that look like?

SPEAKER_00 3:44

And how and are you drawing back to it too? Are you kind of reaching out to it yourself because unconsciously? Yeah, because you're thinking about it.

SPEAKER_01 3:55

Yeah, and it could be unconscious, it would have to definitely be unconscious. And again, the thing that was so weird about that episode is the guy that was on it, he's like afterwards, this, this, and this happened. It's exactly what happened. They talk about the quiet, the trickster energy of it. So it's everything that we experience, but no, I'm definitely not trying to connect to it after our conversation, Stacey. I'm like, I'm just staring clear here, I'm letting it go. But you know, I do still have souvenirs in my home.

SPEAKER_00 4:23

I am being drawn to tell you to put the souvenirs in a windowsill for a full moon cycle, if not longer, to cleanse it.

SPEAKER_01 4:31

I can do that. And again, I'm not sharing this to scare anyone. I'm not scared by it. I'm just like, oh, that's interesting, that's interesting. But like two of my very best friends are a psychic medium, so I'm gonna ask for their help. Heck yeah. And it just so happens we have a podcast.

SPEAKER_02 4:46

So and it's cool how the listeners can see how different intuitive information comes through, right? But they're all kind they're all connected, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:55

And and it's like, and I think the cool thing is is is whenever we have the opportunity to do things like this, we see things and and feel them so differently too. And and the way we even kind of language it is different. Yeah. I have had a haunted stuffed animal sidebar note. I've had a haunted stuffed animal come that was that I bought and it was shipped from somewhere. And I don't know if the manufacturer was just not good, but I remember this stuffed animal scared the bejesus out of me. And this was probably about 10 years ago. And I stopped in a closet and I was like, This is never coming.

SPEAKER_02 5:32

I was terrified of this stuff animal.

SPEAKER_00 5:35

And I remember asking someone that was that was more spiritually awake than I was at the time, and they advised me to do the same thing. Set it in a windowsill that gets that full moon cycle. The full moon cycle will cleanse it. And I think I left it there for like three months because I was so freaking terrified of this thing. It it just did not feel good to me at all. And I just didn't want it out, didn't want it out, and so it was not on purpose, it was not haunted, it was not anything like that. I don't know, like I didn't really explore because again, I at the time I was not as spiritually aware as I am now, but I could feel it immediately.

SPEAKER_01 6:15

Yeah, psychometry. Did I say that right? Yeah, and that is the ability of an object to retain energy and somebody to be able to read that energy, and that's kind of what you're talking about, even though you weren't aware you were doing that, you were picking up on something, right?

SPEAKER_00 6:33

Yeah, it was and and it's interesting because it's like for me, I I went the second you said souvenirs, I was like, they need to be cleansed, like immediately.

SPEAKER_01 6:42

Yeah, lens those now. So let's explore this a little bit because it's fascinating because it draws you into like antique shops, like heirloom jewelry, all of this stuff. Do you find that you can read the energy of objects? And if so, do you step into it with ease or does it freak you out a little bit?

SPEAKER_00 7:05

I personally love antiquing. What about you, Carissa?

SPEAKER_02 7:09

I love it. Like I love different, I just like unique and things that are filled with experience. Me personally, in regards to objects, I don't feel like I've never had a knock on wood. I don't want that experience. Then it's like the universe goes, okay, here you go. You haven't? But with homes, yeah, like big places, yes. But small, I haven't. Not that I can think of. Maybe I have. Well, this may be one, it may not. Okay, so I have this really big what selenite. That's the white crystal, right? Those white ones, right? And that's like a wand. One morning I woke up and it was laying split completely, like it was smooth in the inside split. My husband or daughter did not come in my bathroom and break the crystal and lay it perfectly down. Right. And I'm I haven't had my caffeine, so I'm getting up and I grab it. Again, I'm meaning I'm getting up because I'm not my brain is not fully online, and it was very windy outside that day. And I went to open up the front door and then opened up my back door. And the this sounds so it's so dramatic. The wind was just blowing in the front door out, you know, it was all a big my hair was blowing in my house, and so I got my tea, and then I could smell the tea, and then I'm kind of waking up and I go, Oh, Carissa, okay, what the hell's going on? This is very dramatic. But what happened with that object? Something energetically happened, right?

SPEAKER_00 8:46

Well, crystals are are an interesting thing in them in themselves because oftentimes, like if you go and you buy a crystal ring, for example, you go to a store, if the crystal breaks, it's thought that you no longer need it. So you can take the pieces of of said crystal and do other things with them, but it has served its purpose for you, right?

SPEAKER_02 9:07

And I have they're on my mantle now. Yeah, like they're beautifully laid flat on my mantle. And every time I see it, what comes through is you know, my purpose of being here is change.

SPEAKER_00 9:23

Interesting. What thoughts are you having, Michelle?

SPEAKER_01 9:26

I cannot go into an antique store, and I am just immediately uncomfortable. I immediately want to run the opposite direction. I don't want to look at anything, although there are so many cool things out there that are part of our history. I've got to exit the space. And last year I was visiting one of our sons and they wanted to go into an antique store. And I'm like, I will wait outside. Of course, the place I chose to wait was in front of like a Ouija window because it was like almost speaky, spooky season. It was really cool. But yeah, I got out of there as fast as I could, still saw the the dolls. I will also say that I did like where I don't pick up a lot of energy from items like if you were to give me your grandma's wedding ring to hold.

SPEAKER_02 10:12

Right.

SPEAKER_01 10:13

I think I just would be telling myself, oh no, you're not, but it's intuitively coming in anyway. Like it would be something I'm not conscious of. Like, is anything like an event? But I will tell you that somebody gave me a gift many, many years ago. It was like these old handwritten letters. Really cool gift. I was really excited about them. But as soon as I got them in my hand, I needed them out of my space. And I didn't know what to do. So I reached out to someone and she's like, you can send them to me. We got to return them to the earth, or you can do it yourself. And I'm like, I'm gonna do it myself. It just makes me really uncomfortable. And I'm not joking about this, so don't laugh. I'm kind of an idiot sometimes. So gonna return to earth. I'm gonna burn these letters. So I go outside. I mean, they're not mine to read anyway. I go outside to burn them. I almost caught my face on fire. Like it, like the energy of it came out. And so I don't know. I I I felt at that time I was picking up something like it wanted to be returned.

SPEAKER_02 11:13

You never read the words?

SPEAKER_01 11:15

No.

SPEAKER_00 11:16

Interesting. Yeah. I mean, for for me, I do pick up, I I tend to pick up a lot of energy energy from items, and it's it I have read uh jewelry and stuff like that for for people. I it's more of like what does this feel like to me? I know I had an antique piece of jewelry passed down to me from my my great-great-grandmother. And I remember I actually had the opportunity to have someone read it for me. And what they experienced was like a constriction in breathing, and asked if the person that, you know, owned it was a smoker and come to find out that she had a really hard time breathing towards the end of her life. And, you know, so it it the stories are in those objects. Um, and that's why, like for me, I I enjoy going into antique stores because I can pick something up and feel, you know, the energy that it experienced before. You were you brought up houses, and I don't know if you remember when I first moved into to my house, but my my house's name is Maurice, and Maurice was severely abused by multiple previous owners before I moved in. And I remember I had to sit down with my house and say, I am here and I choose to do my best to love you and to change, you know, the energy that that was created in this space because every time we went to fix something, it was like Maurice went middle finger. I'm going to make this. Yeah. Yeah. And it was just, I had to have like this heart to heart with my house in order to be able to continue to live and create a better space.

SPEAKER_02 13:03

Yep. My last house, I was, you know, low-level depressed until a neighbor told me that house is just wild. It had a huge backyard, it had a huge pool. And the person before me flipped it. But the person before her, which I wasn't aware of this, he was a depressed veteran. He never came out of the house, he never mowed his lawn. There was no HOA. And you can see the backyard because there's a hill on this on the street. And they said you could not see the pool or anything. And for me, knowing how huge that pool is, oh, this guy was terribly depressed. Because if that whole backyard was covered, that just does a lot. And so I always felt that. Every morning I had to, it was like renewing the energy. And when I came into this house, I'm I'm in, I love this house. However, it's just not big and open. You know, it's like, and there's a lot of things I wish I had differently, but I love her so much that when I first moved in, I didn't want to go away on vacation and stuff. I get teary-eyed. I'm like, what is going on?

SPEAKER_01 14:15

Yeah.

unknown 14:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:17

And being in the process of just moving here too, like I it's really resonating with me what you're saying about your current house, Carissa, because I'm moving out of a house that I saw in a picture and I immediately knew that was my space. So much that like I was in Alaska and I flew to Arizona that night because I felt the connection and she just needed to be loved. She was built for a family. And then sadly the mom passed away. So she never got to live that dream. But here a family was coming in. I always felt mutually supported. So leaving it to move to a new space is very, very difficult. And I guess I have that question too. Like, how do I clear out that space? I mean, there was so much love in that space. I don't want to clear that out, but make it new for somebody else. So I don't, I don't think you necessarily need to.

SPEAKER_00 15:08

That's what I was thinking. That's what came through for me. When you leave a space, particularly, you know, as you just said, that was full of love, you are actually creating more space for more energy to be added to it.

SPEAKER_01 15:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 15:24

And she's giving you a lot of love. Right.

SPEAKER_01 15:27

Yeah. I always again felt mutually supported, and to leave was like one of the hardest decisions I had to make, but it felt mutual too. Like it's time for me to do it. Yeah. But it'll carry it in my heart forever.

SPEAKER_00 15:41

I'll have pictures of it and like the memories. I also love that your houses are females and mine's definitely a male.

SPEAKER_01 15:49

I didn't even think of that till we're talking. And then I actually said it, I'm like, okay, it's a girl. Like her. It's that Capricorn moon.

SPEAKER_00 15:56

Maurice is a grumpy old man, essentially.

SPEAKER_02 15:59

Maurice is a grumpy old man. Oh, I like Maurice though. Poor thing. He's like, I'm used to being broken.

SPEAKER_00 16:06

I'm used to being treated like nerd. No, Maurice is getting and and even more so now, Maurice is getting a lot of love that he has deserved for a very long time.

SPEAKER_02 16:19

You bring in that love to help people who feel broken.

SPEAKER_00 16:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:23

Well, let me ask this question because recently on social media, I saw that the house where they film poltergeist is now for sale. Nope. So my question is would you buy that house or not? Because would that house have absorbed that story and carried some of that energy, especially when if not all three, two of the child stars have passed, would you buy that house?

SPEAKER_02 16:47

Absolutely not. Nope.

SPEAKER_00 16:50

So it's it's really interesting that you ask this question. And I'm sorry to go off like immediately again because I was actually having a conversation with my fiance yesterday about this. I was explaining that you know, cemeteries for the most part are not typically haunted. They're not typically haunted because a lot of people don't have connections with cemeteries during their lifetime, right? And I said, but you can create a haunted space by setting that expectation energetically.

SPEAKER_02 17:22

And that's why these haunted homes, like we went to the Sally house, right? You can't say don't clear it, because even if someone clears it, they're still bringing in that same energy, different other stuck spirits.

SPEAKER_00 17:34

And that is also why some cemeteries are haunted, because there's that expectation, you know, being set about a certain area or certain space. And so would I buy that house? Absolutely not, because the expectation of that house has not just been set, but it has been recorded. That's like giving me weird chills.

SPEAKER_01 17:58

Like I didn't want to visit those because I don't think I could buy it either. I I think that connection just right off the bat, I couldn't get past what I saw in the movie, but then energetically it would have felt kind of heavy. Like, what's going on here?

SPEAKER_00 18:13

Yeah, it's no good. No good. And and you know, I I guess what I'm also gonna throw out there is is it possible to clear it and balance out the energy? I'm gonna say most likely the answer to that is yes. The amount of work that it would take to do that though, I I will I there's a while. Yeah, it I I remember I there's a place local to me that I drove by and my guide was like, you can't go back there, you can't clear it. There is like it is essentially the energy is like leaching into the ground, creating this space of just gross, not just haunted, but really negativity.

SPEAKER_02 18:59

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:00

When I was in New Orleans a couple years ago, it's the first time I ever did see that they were advertising homes as haunted. And I guess my question for you would be would you ever buy a haunted home? Not knowing the history of it, just that they said it was haunted, would that intrigue you or would it push you away?

SPEAKER_00 19:20

Not gonna say yes or no, either way. I would have to walk into the home and see what it feels like, haunted or not.

SPEAKER_02 19:26

I have to be pulled for to it. Like, does it feel good? Is this where I'm supposed to, you know, how you saw that house and you knew it's like is it so yeah, and and who is saying it's haunted and what is making them believe that?

SPEAKER_00 19:39

Like, you know, I I any space that you step into can be haunted. We can create that energy. So I would I would need to feel the space. So I can't say yes or no.

SPEAKER_01 19:50

Yeah. So all this talk about like antiquing and stuff, I have taken a step forward in being around older antique stuff because after our experience at the Sally House and stepping into the energy of Perry, I became a little bit fascinated with Truman Capote. And I recently researched and found an original copy of his book in Cold Blood, and it is now in my home. It's like the only antique I've ever purchased. So maybe these are like baby steps. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:23

Wait, in cold blood.

SPEAKER_02 20:24

Was in cold blood connected to Perry?

SPEAKER_01 20:28

It's yeah, it's the book Truman Capote wrote about the murders.

SPEAKER_02 20:33

Oh, about Perry. The murders in Perry.

SPEAKER_01 20:35

Okay, so yeah, he had a very interesting connection with Perry too. And I'm fascinated with Truman Capote now. And yeah, I had to have it. It was like an obsession almost. Like, I have to find a version of this. I wanted a signed copy, but they were really expensive. So I'm like, I'll just get like a first copy.

SPEAKER_02 20:53

And it feels good. It does it feels good because we had a good experience, you know.

SPEAKER_01 20:58

So it all worked out. I mean, and I learned something new, and we've been talking a lot about that, learning new things and helping us grow. Yeah, yeah. So, you know what I am excited about next month. Is spooky season, or maybe even this episode will come out the first week of spooky season. I'm so excited. I love October. It's my favorite month of the year on all levels, spiritually, mentally, physically. I just love it.

SPEAKER_00 21:24

I stepping into it. I actually have a new addition to my household. His name is Felix, and he is a skeleton that is going to live in my living room forever, and we're gonna decorate him for all of the seasons because yeah, why not?

SPEAKER_01 21:40

No, um okay.

SPEAKER_02 21:43

I didn't think so. Are you even are people even allowed to have a real skeleton? I don't legal, no, okay. It's probably not legal.

SPEAKER_01 21:51

I don't remember being in grade school, like first grade, and they must have been teaching like an anatomy class to the older grades, and they brought in like the skeleton. I thought it was real. I was horrified. I am freaked out by skeletons, but I know yours will be full of love, Stacy.

SPEAKER_00 22:06

Oh, it's his name is Felix, and he's hilarious. Yeah, you'll need to make a little video for our social media then.

SPEAKER_01 22:13

Oh, yeah. Every time you change an outfit, yeah, that would be great.

SPEAKER_02 22:19

Yes, share it with the listeners, that'd be cute.

SPEAKER_00 22:22

We'll do that. We'll do that.

SPEAKER_01 22:23

Yeah, and our next episode will be recorded maybe while we're in New Orleans or maybe after we get back.

SPEAKER_02 22:30

Maybe we'll do it with when as I'm having uh one of Stacy's blood teenies.

SPEAKER_00 22:41

So good. Blue fun.

SPEAKER_02 22:45

Oh my gosh, they're delicious.

SPEAKER_01 22:47

Yeah, well, this has been a really fun afternoon. Thank you both for like talking with me. I love our conversation.

SPEAKER_00 22:56

So good. Yeah. So I guess we're wrapping up now, huh?

SPEAKER_01 23:01

I'll say stay classy, stay sassy, and stay badassy, especially in spooky season.
