Big Seance: My Paranormal World – Details, episodes & analysis

 

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.

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
