| 254 - Calling Out Fraudulent Physical Mediumship with Jeni Juranics - Big Seance | 01 Jul 2024 | 01:09:40 | |
Earlier this year, psychic medium Jeni Juranics released an episode of her Spirit Call podcast where she opened up about what she described as a heartbreaking experience at a mediumship conference, where on more than one occasion she witnessed a fairly well-known physical medium faking seances. She decided to call out his fraudulent behavior. He’s been called out before, but Jeni’s story seems to have struck a chord with many in the community. In this important and sometimes emotional conversation, Patrick and Jeni discuss what this means for the mediumship community, as well as the wider spiritual community. And what does it mean for our faith, our trust, and our belief? Visit BigSeance.com/254 for more info. Other Listening Options

In this episode: Intro :00 On April 10th of this year, Jeni Juranics released an episode of her Spirit Call podcast, where she opened up about what she described as a “heartbreaking experience” at this year’s International Physical Mediumship Conference in Albany, NY. Jeni, who has quite a bit of experience sitting in development circles and seances, witnessed a fairly well-known physical medium faking seances, and she decided to call out his fraudulent behavior. If you’re wondering if this is the medium who in 2016 was caught faking evidence at the Banyan Retreat Center in the UK, that’s the one. :45 Our guest today is Jeni Juranics, who is a psychic medium who resides in Odessa near Kingston, Ontario, Canada with her husband and two children. She’s been offering readings since 2016 and maintains a vibrant and genuine link to the Spirit World. Her personality and reading style have been described as down-to-earth and comforting and she brings a sense of calm to all of her sessions. 3:17 Jeni's episodes regarding this fraudulent medium have struck a chord in the community. 4:27 “I’ve just been working hard to protect people from being a victim to what I experienced. And you know, I have to say, I was more a student, but I know a lot of the people that are going to these seances are grieving mothers and fathers and children that have lost their parents. And so it’s not just entertainment. It’s not just a cool experience. People are seriously looking for their loved ones, and they’re being deceived.” 11:03 Jeni saw the red flags with this medium for months in several seances and workshops before it finally clicked. 12:29 Normalize being okay with questioning and using your brain. 16:15 How has this experience changed the way Jeni works moving forward within her own mediumship? 19:38 When you’re already a bit skeptical. 23:30 "If you're being told what you're going to see, is that what you're going to see?" 26:16 “Is it time to say that from now on, physical mediumship needs to happen with the lights on, no exceptions?” 29:48 The 2016 video. 32:11 When it sounds like someone describing a cult. 33:04 Positive responses to the message is getting out there. 39:55 Let’s do physical mediumship differently now. 43:14 Red Flag: When a physical medium's seances are the same every time. 48:54 Clear intimidation from a medium in a mask. 54:36 Patrick’s thoughts on individuals enabling this medium, and he commends Jeni for her bravery in speaking out on her own platform, as well as this one. 59:40 Jeni’s final thoughts. 1:03:51 Outro 1:06:18 A special THANK YOU to Patreon supporters at the Super Paranerd and Parlor Guest level! 1:07:35

In this episode: Intro :00 The Mourning Society of St Louis is a civilian reenacting group with an interest in mourning, death culture, spiritualism and the funeral customs of the mid-nineteenth century through the early twentieth century. Their main focus is public educational events. The Mourning Society has participated in events with our partners at the beautiful and historic Bellefontaine Cemetery, the Campbell House Museum, the St Louis Public Library, Jefferson Barracks Historic Site, Missouri History Museum, the General Daniel Bissell House, the Field House Museum, Lafayette Park Conservancy, and the Stephen and Peter Sachs Museum at the Missouri Botanical Garden. :52 Guests for this episode are Edna Dieterle and Katherine Kozemczak, who co-founded the Mourning Society of St. Louis in 2005, along with Sherri Morrow, who joined the group in 2015. 4:15 Katherine tells the story of how the Mourning Society came about. Her and Edna were already volunteers on the board for a historic mansion in St. Louis. But the main inspiration started with Edna's trip to a home Mississippi. 4:55 Katherine and Edna’s growing collection of artifacts and accoutrement, including coffins! 6:03 In 2015 their educational mourning events expanded to include funerals at the beautiful and historic Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis, and wakes at the the Campbell House Museum. 7:18 A truly unique group, and probably the first of its kind! 9:01 More on the Victorian funeral events at Bellefontaine Cemetery, including a service in the chapel, and educating participants on the cholera epidemic in 1865. 10:00 A striking and moving sight that includes an undertaker with a historic and period hearse. 12:21 The research and education that goes into the planning of events. 13:50 Sherri on why she joined the Mourning Society. “These are my people.” 14:47 Finding (or sewing) Victorian clothing! 15:23 Carpe Diem. Facing mortality and how playing the role of “mourner” affects these reenactors in their daily modern lives? 18:22 When people just don’t appreciate or understand it. 23:48 Tear Catchers and Wearing Black. Misconceptions about Victorian mourning customs. 27:14 “A lot of times, women did not attend the funerals at all, because men were like, ‘They can’t control their emotions and they’re going to cry in front of everybody.’” — Katherine 32:03 Black drapery, superstitions around mirrors, and marking the house to know a death has occurred. 34:03 The custom of placing coins over the eyes of the deceased. 37:09 Events at the Campbell House and the Magic Chef Mansion, including a wake, mourning customs, medical aspects of Victorian mourning (including live leeches!), and post mortem photography. 38:22 The Spiritualism event at the General Daniel Bissell House, which includes spirit communication devices, and a seance play which incorporates documented accounts of seances from the period! 40:03 Volunteering or joining the group. “It’s just like a bad dance, you know? Too many ladies and not enough gentleman. We never have enough people to carry the coffin.” — Katherine 44:09 Drawing people in, sneaking in education, and making it fun. 47:45 Building the atmosphere and setting the scene. “We try to leave people with an impression of what it was really like and not like a romanticized idea of what it was like. We definitely had people cry on some of the tours before, because I think they go in thinking it’s going to be spooky, and sometimes it’s incredibly sad.” — Katherine 48:28 “We were all like, ’Whoa. We’re doing something here.’” — Katherine 50:03 Connecting emotionally with things from the past. “I think there’s a tendency to disconnect from things that haven’t happened in living memory.” — Katherine 51:03 Children died all the time, but it doesn’t mean they weren’t just as devastated by the loss as we would be today. 54:35 Patrick imagines who his Mourning Society character would be and how he would dress. 56:03 “I started doing this because I was very passionate about history, and I love finding out things that I didn’t know before. And this definitely gives you a chance, when you do the research, to just plunge into it.” — Sherri 58:31 When it’s time to take off the veils, pull your iPhones out and have fun! 59:14 “Who are we going to bury?” — Edna 59:55 Expanding to other time periods and movements, like women’s suffrage. 1:00:37 The Mourning Society of St. Lous is approaching their 20 year anniversary! 1:02:43 Outro 1:03:57 A special THANK YOU to Patreon supporters at the Super Paranerd and Parlor Guest level! 1:05:15

| 243 - Victorians and Spiritualism with Steele Alexandra Douris - Big Seance | 18 Jan 2024 | 00:52:01 | |
Step into the Victorian era with an author and Victorianist, Steele Alexandra Douris. Steele specializes in Victorian crime, gothic fiction, and Spiritualism, and is the author of Spirits, Seers & Séances: Victorian Spiritualism, Magic & the Supernatural. In this episode you’ll discover the hidden gems of 19th-century newspapers, periodicals, and the women's magazines that helped to shape the Spiritualist community. Need a response to someone worried about the dangers of practicing any form of spirit communication? Try a timeless quote from prominent Spiritualist, W.T. Stead. Are you ready to try something new at your next party? Plan a Tableaux Vivant, the fascinating and long-lost Victorian party activity! You know that old curio “curiosity” cabinet in the corner? You can thank the Victorians for that. And criminal investigation, detective fiction, and psychometry? You can thank the Victorians for that too! Visit BigSeance.com/243 for more info. Other Listening Options
In this episode: Intro :00 Steele Alexandra Douris is an author, artist, and Victorianist, specializing in Victorian crime, gothic fiction, and spiritualism. She is a PhD candidate in the English department at Stanford University, where she has taught courses on Victorian spiritualism, ghost stories, and the gothic novel. She holds an MA in English from Stanford University and a BA in Anthropology from the University of Texas at Austin. As an undergraduate, Steele observed the social behavior of lemurs, wielded a trowel as part of a central Texas archaeological dig, and learned to identify primate fossils and human bones. As a graduate student, she disappeared into the archives of Victorian Britain, and now emerges only periodically to collect new tarot decks, hunt for fossils, and hoard art supplies. Steele splits her time between foggy NorCal and sunny South Texas, towing her mountain of journals and sketchbooks with her wherever she goes. You can learn more about Steele by visiting SteeleAlexandraDouris.com :50 Steele’s book is Spirits, Seers & Séances: Victorian Spiritualism, Magic & the Supernatural. 2:36 What is a “Victorianist?” Plus Steele’s academic passions. 3:26 A passion for archaeology, art, and literature. 5:01 What did the newspapers have to say about it? “I work a lot in newspapers… 19th century newspapers, 19th century periodicals and early 20th century women’s magazines.” 6:38 In her research into Spiritualism, Steele was amazed by how many Spiritualist magazines, newspapers, and periodicals there were at the time, like The Medium and Daybreak. “The material really just gave me a glimpse into the entire engine of the Spiritualist community beyond just what I had pictured at the beginning.” 7:38 Steele includes really great “try it yourself” exercises at the end of each chapter! Examples include instructions for holding a traditional spirit circle, sitting for a solitary seance, meditating like Dr. Mesmer, automatic writing/automatic art, channeling blindfolded, sitting for a psychic portrait, practicing psychometry, channeling your inner folklorist, exploring your own shadow/reading a gothic tale, scrying, making a Halloween card, or holding a Christmas seance! 8:55 Patrick discusses some of the really cool fall issues of The Delineator, an American women's magazine of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. 10:51 Tableaux Vivant, a fascinating, long-lost Victorian party activity. 12:02 “It’s hard to move in many modern occult circles without tripping over the Victorians. And yet, somehow, in the process of becoming ubiquitous, the Victorians have also become invisible.” 16:16 Patrick on one of his “a-ha” moments from the book: “Some of us dream of putting away our modern tools and technology to pretend we’re Victorian. But in reality, Victorians were all about becoming modern, with the huge advances in technology that was happening at the time.” 16:16 What economic class of Victorians are we usually imagining? 21:12 Need a timeless response to someone worried about the dangers of using the Ouija Board or practicing any form of spirit communication? Try this great mid-1890s quote from prominent Spiritualist W.T. Stead, which he claims was channeled by his spirit guide, Julia. 22:28 Victorian personal ads! 26:06 The unique Victorian practice of Psychometry 27:59 Criminal investigation, detective fiction, ballistics, fingerprint analysis, criminal psychology, profiling, and paranormal investigation! 32:23 Curiosity “curio” cabinets, curiosity shops, and specimen cabinets. 33:30 The Worlds Fair Expositions 35:28 Christmas lore and the legends of bells underground and under water. 36:52 The Victorian activities that Steele incorporates into her daily life! 41:50 Final thoughts from Steele 47:13 Outro 48:43 A special THANK YOU to Patreon supporters at the Super Paranerd and Parlor Guest level! 50:03

In this episode: Intro :00 April Roane has been transforming lives worldwide for over two decades. In 2009, she started by transforming her life first. She was guided to join a recovery program for food addiction. Using tools of recovery, she began her very personal and challenging journey of self, transformation, service, and faith. April is a channel and vessel for messages of truth, hope, light, and love. This creates a natural healing and alignment experienced through, from, and of Spirit, Higher Power, Universe, Gaia, Source, God, Angels, Guides, Loved Ones, The Collective Consciousness, Ascended Masters, and Light Beings. April receives messages from Spirit in the form of feelings, visions, thoughts, ideas, sounds, knowing, smells, and tastes.

April is the author of several books, including the Love Your Inner Empath workbook and her children's book, Goodnight Just the Same.

I’m a person. And I have a family, and I have a life, and I have a path that I’m trying to figure out. And if I don’t balance myself--my mind, my body, my soul--sometimes I do a really good job. Sometimes I flub it up a lot. But if I don’t balance me, I’m not going to be a good intuitive.” “You know, they don’t ever want to talk about, ‘Remember that time you stole my money, you ass hole!’ You know, they never say that!” “They always talk about those moments that took our breath away, not the moments that we lost our breath.” 6:25 April has moved to Texas, she’s worked on missing person cases, but her work with balancing herself has not changed. 7:40 Those who are and are NOT pushing our species forward since 2016. 9:37 The 2020 pandemic and its effects on the world. “As a society, we still don’t know what it did to us.” 11:22 The positive effects of Covid. “It forced us as a species to look at things we refused to.” 18:21 The paranormal culture in Eastern Texas, the Azalea Inn Bed and Breakfast, and her work with paranormal investigator husband, Braxton Roane. 22:24 Patrick originally met Braxton Roane at an event at Belvoir Winery before he or Patrick even knew April! 29:58 The side effects of paranormal investigation and the traumatizing story of April and Braxton needing an exorcism! “Let’s just say Braxton’s eyes went from green to blue. They were green, then they went to this period of just slate grey, and then to blue.” “When you realize the devil’s looking right at you, it’s not a moment where you look away and you run and you lose them.” 31:20 Patrick shared a funny memory about Chip Coffey at Belvoir Winery. 39:34 April talks about her book, Goodnight Just the Same. 42:27 April describes her book, “Love Your Inner Empath: A Healing Workbook & Tool Kit.” 44:12 Food, diet, chocolate, and gravity. April and Patrick get real about it. 45:02 “You are the guru of you. And you honor you. Honor all that your ups and downs has brought you to this moment of awareness. And that is where your adventure begins. What does that awareness say? What do you feel? ‘Oh my life’s a sh*t show.’ Okay then. Let’s fix it. Let’s change it. Let’s start to seek the joy, whatever that is for you. Leave people alone. They’re responsible for their own joy. So many of us live our life based on everyone else.” 48:52 Outro 52:27 A special THANK YOU to Patreon supporters at the Super Paranerd and Parlor Guest level! 53:47

Reincarnation, witch trials, and where the term “faggot” came from. 13:25 The suppression of the feminine: Susan Grace and the 2,000-year reign of men that ends in 2020. 15:58 The feminine archetype 19:23 Those who are excluded from a social order have to become more resourceful. 21:28 Straight men who are allies of the feminine and the spiritual are the real deal! Unfortunately, they’re all married. Ha! 23:15 Patrick’s take. Being “out” is important! 25:29 Healing the Mother Wound and toxic masculinity/femininity 28:52 Unraveling and falling apart 30:26 The Spiritualist Movement, Women’s Suffrage, and the Me Too Movement 32:44 Being “psy-curious”: The similarities of coming out of the spiritual closet and coming out as gay 35:40 When the response to you coming out is not good 40:35 Fear of acceptance, conversations at the Xerox machine (or the water cooler), and making others comfortable enough to share their stories 43:23 The dangers of coming out 47:03 Bigotry sometimes goes both ways 48:34 Making straight men feel welcome 51:20 “Everybody wants to be able to see someone in a space that looks like them.” 53:39 Are you a straight, psy-curious man who is looking for love? “Get thyself to a spirit circle!” 54:28 Catching up with Ash and what’s going on in her world 57:27 A whole different take on Stranger Angels over at SladeRoberson.com. Plus, “Be relentlessly helpful.” 59:54 A special THANK YOU to Patreon supporters at the Super Paranerd and Parlor Guest level! 1:05:50 Outro 1:07:23 #Paranerd Hashtag 1:09:00

| 240 - Most Haunted's Yvette Fielding - Big Seance | 14 Dec 2023 | 00:57:32 | |
Patrick's candid interview with the "Queen of the Paranormal" herself, Most Haunted's Yvette Fielding. She's a true pioneer in paranormal television, and she shares her thoughts on everything from how she thinks spirits communicate to SNL's hilarious 2006 parody of Yvette and Most Haunted. She looks back on the traumatizing 30 East Drive episode and a Most Haunted event where guests got stuck in a prison cell. How does the UK’s Most Haunted compare to American paranormal television? Plus, did you know that there are 76 Most Haunted episodes that haven't seen the light of day? Listen to find out why! Visit BigSeance.com/240 for more info. Other Listening Options
In this episode: Intro :00 Yvette Fielding has been crowned by many as “Queen of the Paranormal”, “Queen of the Night”, or even “First Lady of the Paranormal.” Listeners from the US will no doubt know Yvette as the star of the hit paranormal TV series from the UK, Most Haunted. She and her husband, Karl Beattie, first created and produced the show in 2002, making them true pioneers in paranormal TV. They’ve been producing the show ever since. If you’re a listener outside of the US, you may actually know Yvette originally from Blue Peter, a British TV show, which is the longest-running children's TV show in the world. Yvette was the youngest presenter ever on that show, and she even interviewed Princess Diana! She’s the author of a series of new young adult fiction, and she has a memoir coming out next year! :50 Welcome to the parlor, Yvette! 2:44 Yvette and her husband live in a house that is 400 years old! 3:20 Patrick had a lot to catch up on with Yvette and Most Haunted! 3:56 Where can you find Most Haunted these days? Plus Most Haunted has gone on the road with stage shows! 6:41 Investigate with Yvette and the team with Most Haunted Experiences! 9:25 Where does the knocking at tapping come from? And if it’s paranormal, how do spirits produce it? 10:40 Yvette’s calls for science to take the paranormal more seriously. 13:07 Looking back at Saturday Night Live’s hilarious 2006 parody of Yvette and Most Haunted. 17:07 “I broke wind with fear!” 18:38 Building up energy with a trusted group of people. The current Most Haunted team has been together for several years. 20:00 Yvette’s tapping board and the story of the Fox Sisters in the early days of Spiritualism. 22:25 Patrick compares the UK’s Most Haunted to American paranormal TV. 23:55 Yvette says she doesn’t watch other paranormal TV shows. She also doesn’t watch horror films. After a terrorizing investigation, she drives home listening to Mary Poppins. 26:48 “How many weeks rehearsal do you do?” A number of years ago, Yvette and her husband talked to American producers of paranormal TV. 28:24 Patrick urges American listeners to check out Most Haunted if they haven’t yet. 31:25 Yvette and her husband have 76 episodes on a shelf that haven’t seen the light of day, because they’re “so bloody boring!” 34:20 It only takes one doubting or skeptic person to block activity from spirit. Yvette calls these people “muters.” 34:57 Most Haunted almost always has Glen Hunt or another parapsychologist or openminded skeptic on every investigation. 36:53 Looking back on the 30 East Drive episode, one of the most traumatizing investigations the team has ever been on. When the Lights Went Out is a 2012 film based on events at this location. 39:16 Burns, stitches, and scars inflicted by spirits. “It can be quite a scary occupation, and a bit dangerous, as well. So you have to be careful.” 48:14 Stuck in a prison cell. Looking back on the investigation at Accrington Police Station & Courts. 49:21 Patrick wants to see a crossover episode of Most Haunted here in the US, or a guest appearance by Yvette Fielding on an American paranormal TV show! It’s time! 51:47 “Just before I started Most Haunted, I didn’t believe in life after death. I really, really didn’t, Patrick, and it really affected my life.” Final thoughts from Yvette. 52:30 Outro 54:16 A special THANK YOU to Patreon supporters at the Super Paranerd and Parlor Guest level! 55:36
