Homespun Haints: True Ghost Stories

True ghost stories are scarier (and funnier) when you hear them from the real people who experienced them. We’re Becky and Diana, and we interview people who have seen ghosts--so you can feel their fear with them. Each episode features true, personal stories of ghosts, demons, haints, hauntings, haunted houses, and paranormal experiences, sprinkled with humorous conversations about the random strange events in our own haunted lives.

Ghosts Make Great TV: Reliving the Past, Episode By Episode

The cameras are rolling, and the medium on the television screen begins to speak. The things she hears, sees, and knows, they can’t possibly be real, right? Surely, it’s all TV magic. A plant in the audience, a little tip ahead of time, right? But the man producing the show knows better. He knows that the medium is the real thing. She’s gifted in ways that defy logic; her magic is larger than what the camera can capture. Today, we speak with Ray Brune who produced the show Life Among the Dead, and learn what really happens behind the scenes with a psychic medium. Today, on Homespun Haints.Check out Ray's site at <a href='https://rayjay.tv/'>rayjay.tv </a>Photo by <a href='https://unsplash.com/@frankokay?utm_content=creditCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplash'>Frank Okay</a> on <a href='https://unsplash.com/photos/turned-off-vintage-crt-television-on-road-R1J6Z1cnJZc?utm_content=creditCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplash'>Unsplash</a> Tired of websites that have been Frankensteined together using subpar body parts?

Down To Earth Yet Lost Among The Stars

Aurorah never knew what to expect going on in her living room when she got home from school. Having a father who was a psychic medium meant she never knew when her day would be disrupted by an impromptu drum circle or a house cleansing. However, it also meant she learned from a young age how to interact with the energy around her. Now, as an adult and a professional astrologer, she taps into her intuition to help her guide her clients through the currents and obstacles that the energy from the heavens provide. And that intuition has also pushed some spooky encounters into her life. Prepare to hear about her very unique business, today, on Homespun Haints.
