Radio Host: Selena Roane Tonight I’m going to be a guest on a really interesting paranormal radio show! The program is called Close to Death and it’s hosted by the fabulous Selena Roane. I met Selena at the 2014 Granbury Paranormal Expo, where she gave an excellent presentation on her journey as an empath and all the ups, downs, and confusion it has caused in her life. She also played one of the best EVP’s I have heard for the audience. (None of that indecipherable staticky stuff that people pass off as electronic voice phenomenon so often. This EVP was…

In fact, every time I remember my first Texan-style Halloween, I laugh. The year was 2009 and I had just moved in with my then-boyfriend-now-husband, Larry. We were out shopping when Larry mentioned needing candy for trick-or-treaters. I promptly spotted a bag of mini candy bars and tossed it in our cart. It was a big bag, too, 5 pounds, which…
