When Hollywood movie star Elke Sommer and her reporter husband Joe Hyams moved into their new home in Beverly Hills in 1964, they almost immediately began to experience strange and eerie events. Inexplicable noises came from empty rooms at the now notorious house at 2320 Bowman Drive, Benedict Canyon, and visitors claimed to see apparitions, which couldn’t be explained away as prowlers.

One of the keys for feeling alive and uplifted most of the time is to live in the moment, not in the future or the past. By living in the present, you are in full contact with yourself and the world around you. Your energy won’t be dissipated and so will always be available, keeping you full of life and verve.

Traiteurs are an interesting group of people. They’re basically Cajun faith healers based in Southern Louisiana. They typically use the laying on of hands for healing and say they receive their healing powers from God. Traiteurs say they can pass on their power at the hour of their death – but only to a member of the opposite sex. They’re very secretive and tend to become hostile when pressed for information, or if they’re asked too many questions. You can’t blame them. It’s good to keep some things to yourself. Too many people these days are blabbermouths. Sadly, the tradition of the traiteur is dying out.
The illustrious bluesman BB King – born in Mississippi in 1925 – always loved to gamble. But maybe he loved it a little too much: It’s said that when touring (which was all the time) he and his fellow band members were so crazed for a wager they’d bet on raindrops running down a window. If you’re as much of a gambler as BB King used to be, you’ll know that when you hit the tables – be it poker, blackjack, roulette, or whatever – there’s a very definite frame of mind you go into when you’re on a winning streak. Many gamblers say it’s a feeling of looking down on yourself from above as you play – as if your higher-self is at the helm, directing things.

It is said that you need to believe in the power of a voodoo doll curse for it to work. Therefore, if you truly think it is all nonsense, you’d have nothing to worry about. Even if someone’s laid one hell of a hex on you with a voodoo doll, you’d be able to brush it off without a problem. There’s a lot to be said for that argument – and evidence to back it up. But then you come across a case that makes you wonder whether the effect of voodoo dolls isn’t all in the mind – that there might be some unseen and terrifying force at work, which can be harnessed.

Graveyard work is a very secretive, but extremely powerful form of magic in hoodoo. It involves going to a cemetery to call on the spirits to help you in matters of the heart, money or luck and personal power. Although it might sound dark and scary, it’s actually an old tradition that can be traced back through the hoodoo of the American South to ancestral worship in Africa.

Back in the 1980s when I lived for a while in Bristol, in the West of England, my friend Hal and I, had a disturbing experience as we walked back from a pub late one evening. We decided to take a short cut across Purdown, a large area of green space overlooking the city. March 10th, 2010 | Tags: ghosts | Category: paranormal | Leave a comment |
