Ep. 78 Whispers from the Other Side: Scarlet Porretta
Send your favorite Co-Ghosts a message!
What happens when the veil between worlds becomes transparent? Psychic medium Scarlet Porretta pulls back the curtain on her extraordinary journey through the realm of spiritual communication in this captivating conversation.
From childhood encounters with mysterious entities at her bedside to her unexpected professional awakening in her forties, Scarlet shares the deeply personal evolution of her psychic abilities. Rather than the dramatic clairvoyance often depicted in media, her primary gift manifests as "clairaudience" – the ability to hear spirits' whispers with startling clarity. This unique perspective offers fascinating insights into how messages from beyond actually arrive.
The conversation takes several chilling turns as Scarlet recounts her most unsettling paranormal experiences. Her encounter with a shape-shifting entity during a ghost hunt culminated in the revelation of its demonic name, captured on EVP equipment. Even more disturbing is the tale of a haunted mirror that refused to leave her home, causing mysterious damages and following her family even after its removal. These aren't just ghost stories – they're firsthand encounters that challenge our understanding of reality.
Beyond the spooky elements, Scarlet reveals the profound emotional impact of her work. Her accounts of connecting suicide victims with their grieving families demonstrate the healing potential of mediumship when practiced with compassion and integrity. Her perspective that "we are the boss in this realm" offers an empowering framework for those interested in paranormal phenomena without surrendering their agency.
Whether you're a dedicated paranormal enthusiast or a curious skeptic, Scarlet's experiences invite you to consider the possibility that consciousness extends beyond what we commonly perceive.

Speaker 2:What wolfberry serene the sad part is he had to read that people.
Speaker 1:Well, I had to read it twice. The first time I read it I said would.
Speaker 2:No, you said what? Because you had to stop.
Speaker 1:What would?
Speaker 2:You didn't know how to read. Do you know what?
Speaker 1:Wolfberry is.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Me neither. I don't know, it was just.
Speaker 2:All right, it's weird stuff. Glad you said it, then Good for you.
Speaker 1:Absolutely. Did you pop your can open? Yeah, I did See. You never get the thing here hold on.
Speaker 2:I did no, you weren't paying attention.
Speaker 1:It's like that. That's how you do it.
Speaker 2:I was paying attention. What are you drinking, buddy? So cider boys, again pineapple hula. I think I did this one a couple weeks ago, I can't remember, but and I asked you when you purchased it if you got laid oh, that's right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you usually remember the bad jokes. So yeah, I do remember you saying that. But yeah, cider boys is. You usually remember the bad jokes. So yeah, I do remember you saying that. But yeah, cider Boys is. I feel like I have tried quite a few different hard ciders in my time. Cider Boys is probably my favorite, nice. But whenever I go, I'm not picky. Usually, if I go to a bar or whatever and I just say, do you have any hard cider? I'm okay with whatever they have.
Speaker 1:I've been to a bar with you. It's do you have ginger ale? That's what you say. You don't.
Speaker 2:Before a show. If I'm driving home before a show, I don't drink, because I get thirsty and then I would be drunk by the time I get on stage and I can barely remember my material when I'm sober. So that's why I don't drink before a show. Okay, Also, I'm usually driving home and I like to be sober for that.
Speaker 1:That's irresponsible of you.
Speaker 2:And the thing is, the last few shows I've done, that's been the case. It's either it's before a show and or I'm driving home, so I can't have anything.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, that's fair. Are you going to ask me what I'm drinking or I'm just going to sit over here and be all whatever?
Speaker 2:You're probably drinking. Well, you've got a water and then you've got. Isn't it like a Diet Coke or something?
Speaker 1:No, actually I did not. Today I'm sparkling iced Starburst, yeah, oh.
Speaker 2:It's water, it's water.
Speaker 1:It has natural flavors in it. It's not whatever, but it's like five calories for the can. I mean, I don't even think I'd bring in 1,500 calories a day right now, so I think it's okay I could have this. You know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, so yeah, anything else happening over there at Serene Manor?
Speaker 2:No, it's pretty quiet.
Speaker 2:Pretty quiet. We, uh, we, uh. We've started to uh, uh, uh, summer, uh, prepare the yard and get the lawn equipment out. And I actually mowed the lawn, um tried to get some stuff done. We, we do need to get to the the like garden center or whatever, and I need to get like some soil and wood chips and stuff to put on our garden and like that. But we cleaned up a little bit. Um, we've got uh, I've got a couple of like landscaping type projects. I have that I'd like to do this summer sometime. Um, but I've got a couple of things that are going to be beyond my abilities. We have a gigantic tree in the front yard that there's one branch that has died. Buds are coming on all the other branches except for this one and it's way the heck up there and I don't think I'd be able to get it. So we're going to have to get someone with a crane or whatever to get that down.
Speaker 1:You always put a chainsaw on the end of a broomstick.
Speaker 2:You know, I have seen the YouTube videos where people try that and that has convinced me not to do it.
Speaker 1:You know, back in the day it didn't end up on YouTube, Back in my day you did something stupid like that and it was America's Funnest Little Videos. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was's Funnest Little Videos. Yeah, that was friends before there was YouTube. That's how we saw people get injured. Yeah, either that or you heard about it every Thanksgiving when your dad would bring it up. It was like remember that time you fell out of the window.
Speaker 1:That actually happened, not the falling out of the window thing, but the bringing up something. Every single time I've seen somebody. That happened to me. Uh, because when I was like 12 I stepped on a rake and one of those, uh, like a garden, like a garden rake, the ones that are like you know yeah stiff, yeah, whatever I stepped on it and it went right through my foot like all the way.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and every time somebody like you know I had to go to the hospital get stitches, all that shit. And every time I saw my cousins they're like you remember, when you stepped on the rake I'm like dude, remember you know. So it happened a lot yeah, you do. You had brothers growing up one brother, he's older okay, yeah, he's so.
Speaker 2:And four, 63, 64, yeah okay, because in in my opinion, uh brother, male siblings are the worst, because they encourage each other. So it's not just one guy coming up with stupid ideas, it's another one saying no, that's a good idea, you should try it. Oh, it's not just one guy coming up with stupid ideas, it's another one saying no, that's a good idea, you should try it oh, it's like me and my boy, craig.
Speaker 1:Uh, he was like my brother, we grew up as brothers but yeah, we like we used to like play wrestle and stuff like that, you know, and he'd be like, you know, like we're a tag team. Yeah, we used to like beat up on other kids and then so one day he was like john, I have an idea and I was like what he goes do a splash off of the uh retaining wall and I was like, okay, that's a few feet, you know, it's like five or six feet. Yeah, okay, I could do that. And then I was up on the retaining wall and I happened, happened to look over and I seen that the access to the garage was very, very easy. So I was like, hey, why am I going on the retaining wall when I could go on top of the garage? Oh, gosh.
Speaker 2:So I did that, and then what happened I?
Speaker 1:splashed the kid and we both were hurt. Quite bad actually. I mean I didn't kill him or anything, but we got hurt. It was pretty messed up, dw.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So a quick update on the big news that I'm not telling anybody until everybody knows? Okay, there is still not really an update. A quick update on the big news that I'm not telling anybody until everybody knows Okay, there is still not really an update. Okay, yes, I know things, but not enough to say. But if I were to get this opportunity, trust me, you all know. So, yes, we're still waiting on that of now recording. Uh, hasn't happened yet, but maybe when you're hearing it I'll know.
Speaker 1:So yeah you have to wait till next week to figure out whether or not I'm doing the thing that I'm not talking about yep, okay, all right.
Speaker 2:How am I supposed to comment on that when you don't say anything thing that?
Speaker 1:I'm not talking about.
Speaker 2:Yep, okay, how am I supposed to comment on that when you don't say anything? I don't know? Hey, there's something happening in my life that I can't tell you.
Speaker 1:That may or may not be happening, or is not happening and I can't tell you anything more Really Interesting. What is?
Speaker 2:it. Oh, no See, that's the deal. You just did the same thing to us. I was just telling you what it feels like to have no information. You're right sent your way, exactly, yeah welcome to our world.
Speaker 1:I know I'm sorry. Now I'm sitting in the spot where you guys are sitting and I have to say it doesn't feel very good. So I want to apologize for saying that something great most likely is going to happen, but I can't tell you what that is and when it does happen you'll all know. So, yeah, okay, that's good. So I was sitting there thinking, dw, that maybe there's a possibility. People, the people you were just talking about, about the ones that are hurt with you, you know, maybe they would want to know where they can find me and you not together at the same time, but separately if they wanted to find you.
Speaker 1:Well, they can find you. Dw. Dw, serene Comedian on Facebook. You can find me at John Olson Comedian 2.0 on Facebook. You can find us bothian on Facebook. You can find me at JohnOlsonComedian2.0 on Facebook. You can find us both together on Facebook. Not a couple, though. No, we are not a couple. You find us at the Scolarius page. Also, we do have a TikTok. It's called Scolarius8. You've heard this many times. I don't know why. There's seven other ones, but it's okay. Also, we are on Instagram. Guess the name?
Speaker 2:Scolarius.
Speaker 1:Thank you, and if you want to, if, and only if you want to, you can reach out to us, you know, via email, electronic mail, so to speak. Reach out to us at scolariaspod, at gmailcom, and, again, if, with the ones, if you want to, you can go back and listen to every single episode that we've had at scolariaspodbuzzsproutcom, dw. Is there anything else that we need to discuss?
Speaker 2:You haven't done your uh plug for crowd made.
Speaker 1:I know that's why I was bringing it up to you.
Speaker 2:I was like maybe you're gonna say, hey, you have to do the crowd made thing, but I mean I've said crazy, I was waiting for you to do your um uh, blatantly obvious segue where you say if you find yourself naked and without a sweatshirt, you can go to Crowdmade and get a sweatshirt.
Speaker 1:I mean that's really good. I don't know why I haven't used that one before, to be fair. All right, so we'll try it like this If you are just like me and you sleep, just butt ass naked, I'm talking just, the breeze is hitting everything and you listen. If, if you're like me and you do that, maybe, maybe there's a possibility you'd want a shirt, right, maybe?
Speaker 1:hang on, I'm gonna go it's not you that wants the shirt, maybe it's whoever sees you starfishing all over the bed butt naked. Maybe they want you to have a shirt. And if that's the case, what you need to do is go to crowdmatecom forward slash collections, forward slash scolarius pod, and you can get cool scolarius merch, like, for instance, my favorite right now, the Old Cripers shirt. That's right, dw might not say Old Cripers, but I say he does and considering that, you should say he does too by wearing the shirt. You can find that at Cmatecom also also my the shirt that people seem to be buying by the handfuls. It's the I have no idea who john olsen is t-shirt. That that right there, like I don't that, that's just weird. That's the number one seller. But it's okay, it's all right. Also, you know, if you want to support the dubs a little bit more, you can get the shirt that he actually does say and what is that? Dw?
Speaker 2:Here's the thing, yeah there it is.
Speaker 1:Here's the thing. You can get the here's the thing shirt right there at Crowdmade. And we also have cups and hats and dog leashes and dog collars. It, I mean it's for a pet, but I mean, if you want to use it on your significant other, we're not going to say anything, but just get it at crowdmadecom forward slash collections, forward slash sclery spot. Or you can just do what dw does and go to crowdmade and just search for scleriates yeah, or you can do that.
Speaker 1:That's the yeah, as we all try, and get that image out of our heads.
Speaker 2:Which image image out of our heads? Which image you naked and putting your dog leash on your significant other. That, hey. If anyone else wants an endorsement by John and wants to hear the same high caliber performance, you can find him on Facebook.
Speaker 1:Yep At. I don't know what it was John Olsen up yours 3.7 or whatever oh, okay, that's, that's good, dw. You know we, we've been having a blast. Uh, really, are we on the same show? I thought we, I thought we were having a blast, we've been having a blast and, uh, the energy's up a little bit from last week, folks, anyways. But we are having a blast and I feel that this is the right time to bring our guest in, so maybe she could have fun too.
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah, all right, all the way from. Well, toronto, canada. Yeah, very cool Psychic Medium, scarlett Perretta. Scarlett, how are you?
Speaker 3:I'm well. My cheeks are like sore. I've been here in the background listening to you guys and I've been giggling. So I'm like maybe I got to massage my face a little bit here just to kind of loosen up that.
Speaker 1:You had me giggling guys. Well, you know, this is, we're the paranormal odd couple, you know.
Speaker 3:Me and him. I love it.
Speaker 1:He's my hetero life mate.
Speaker 2:And I don't know why you keep saying that I don't never agreed to that.
Speaker 1:You know, whatever. I don't know why you keep saying that I don't never agree to that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, whatever, scarlett how are things in Canada? You know what? We finally got over the snow this this year. We we got hit. It was like one long snowstorm. It wasn't even winter, it was just a long snowstorm from like December to maybe a couple of weeks ago. We finally getting some relief. So it's it's. It's going well, it's a it's a good day. It's a good day, that's good um.
Speaker 1:Are you a maple leafs fan?
Speaker 3:no, okay, don't let anybody else know that all right, all right, it's too late, though I think it is now yeah they had a win. They had a win and I'm like, okay, let's not get too excited about that, you know. But maybe I should zip it, because I should be supporting them right.
Speaker 1:Do you know who you sound like? Who? A Minnesota Vikings fan? Yeah, bwm, all right. Yeah, possibly.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, we had a win is basically know, like here's, and I find this a little funny. I was just talking with my wife about this. Uh, I have a shirt from the minneapolis miracle, which is when we caught a pass at the last seconds of a game to win the game and went on to the playoffs, and I thought how weird is it that we have a shirt memorializing one moment, like a shirt that says remember that time, something cool happened. I got a shirt that says that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's pretty much what's going to be happening here. You know it's terrible because I used to be a huge hockey fan. I used to be and and this really is going to date me and and, oh my gosh, like it was a long time ago when Pat Burns was the coach, I used to stop what I was doing. Right, that's a long time ago. I was about maybe four years old, of course but, and we used to stop what I was doing.
Speaker 3:Right, that's a long time ago. I was about maybe four years old, of course, but, and we used to back back in those days I was selling real estate and so my girlfriend and I would would be like, okay, the game's on, we'd be on signbacks, doing offers, going back and forth, and we'd meet at whatever pub, like we weren weren't, we weren't specific, it was whatever was closest, just to watch the game. But then after that, it just kind of lost fizzle. For me, you know, and I, I, I hate to say it. I hope they have a good season. I don't want to wish anybody harm, you know. It's just I, I'm not feeling it, I'm not feeling it.
Speaker 3:I mean maybe that's the psychic in me. We'll have to wait and find out. I don't know.
Speaker 1:All right. So we're just going to get all the sports stuff out of the way before we get into the paranormal stuff and in sport entertainment whatever. So if you're not a hockey fan and you're from Canada, you have to be a professional wrestling fan.
Speaker 3:Are you a?
Speaker 1:professional wrestling fan.
Speaker 3:No, you have to be a professional wrestling fan.
Speaker 1:Are you a professional wrestling fan? No, my grandmother was. Okay, all right, my grandmother was she from up there. By you too, like were you she, she's.
Speaker 3:She was this little old italian lady and she barely could speak english, and every time we'd go in her room she would be gasping because she'd be watching the wrestling. And then she'd be like look what he's doing to her, like okay, we're like no, no, this is not real, of course. This is real, like she was all over it. She was all over it, yeah, it was funny, it was cute is she canadian too?
Speaker 1:is she from up there, where she was?
Speaker 3:actually um born and raised in italy and she came back in? Uh, it would have been mid-1960s. She's passed away and god bless us all, you know. But back in the day, this would have been probably in the 80s, when it was to me it was really entertaining, you know. But she, she thought it was real. She was like dare to you if you said that it was not so I'm assuming up there.
Speaker 1:I mean, during the 80s it was obviously wwf at that point, because you're not, people aren't going to be getting uh exactly yeah, the territories and stuff okay, exactly, exactly, all right well, that's cool.
Speaker 1:We got, uh, maple leaf talk out of the way. We got Maple Leafs talk out of the way. We got the professional wrestling talk out of the way. We usually don't talk any of that when we're on this, but I mean, hey, whatever we do, what we want, that's what we want, all right. So now I suppose we better get into what makes you tick as a psychic medium, and I mean you might as well start at the beginning. You know we can go as long as we need to, but you know, um, trust me, the more entertaining it is, people aren't going to care, right?
Speaker 3:you know what I'm saying that's why I feel it's awesome, I'm glad to hear. Well, first of all, I want to say thank you for inviting me to to be here. You guys are doing a great job. Um, I love your show. Before we started, I was sharing with you, john. Before DW logged on here, we were chatting. I like that. You take scary, you know what potentially could be a scary topic and you make light of it, and I think it's so important because it's becoming more and more aware. Like you know, people are being more aware. There's there's an awakening, um, you know it's. We're coming back to what I think is our is who we are as human beings yeah so thank you.
Speaker 1:No, thank you. That's badass. I like it when people come on here and tell us we're doing a good job because it doesn't do it. Yeah, somebody's got. Like I would like to think that we are, you know, and I like to tell everybody we are, but then again, like what matters is our guests and and the audience. So, thank you, appreciate that my pleasure.
Speaker 3:So now, what makes me tick? I don't know, I'm weird, like I'm, I'm weird, okay, I don't do you were. You know, I don't do like, don't, don't get me wrong, I don't do anything strange, I'm not casting spells in the middle of the night or anything like that. You know, I just um. Ever since I was a little girl I've been seeing um and hearing things. Now, now the funny, the crazy thing is, as a little girl, I would see it first. You know, we were chatting off off offline here. We were chatting about how there's about eight types of senses, right?
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 3:Clear, audient, clairvoyant, you know, and there's there's a whole bunch of other ones as well, where you can smell, taste, touch, feel, you know emotions, and but it's. It's odd, because everybody talks about clairvoyant, it just seems to be like that's the marketing name, you know. So if you're, if you're a medium, oh, you're clairvoyant. That that's something that seems to be very common. But at the same time, though, there's not that many people that are actually clairvoyant, they're usually, you know, other things.
Speaker 3:Now, as a kid, I used to see things like at the foot of my bed. Nobody else could see it, you know, and it was. It was very, very alarming. You know how it is when you're a kid. You know, you're three, four years old and you see a man with a hat. You know, at the foot of your bed you see something else with glowing eyes in the window. Like this is just like this is not normal, and you don't even have anybody to talk to. You know, and especially when I was a kid, this is stuff that you just didn't talk to. So I kind of, you know, you suppress it, and if I did attempt to talk about it, it was. It was like shushed. You know, just go to school, do your thing, you know. Go to university, do your thing, you know, become something right. And that's, that was. That was it. That was it. But it always came out for the longest time it would come out, like I want to say, by accident of course nothing happens by accident but it came out by accident where I would see things and hear things. But I shut that seeing down really fast because I was afraid, I didn't want to see it. I didn't want to see it. You know it's, it's alarming as a kid, it's very alarming. And uh, and I remember even working with um, some psychic children for a while, and one of one of my young psychics, she would be like Scarlett, I see a man in here and he scares me. So I told him I don't want to see him anymore. And I said to her don't do that, don't do that, that's because they're not going to go away. So you have to tell them. You know, I gave her the parameters and the boundaries, but they don't go away just because you don't see them anymore. And so that's when the Claire Audient, you know, came out.
Speaker 3:And so what is Claire Audient? Because you know, some people might not be familiar with that Claire Audient, has to do with hearing whispers, hence Scarlet's whispers. Like, if you ever, you know, look me up, you'll see that right. So the Scarlet's whispers are the whispers that I hear, and most of the time I feel strange, I feel like a weirdo. You know, you hear all kinds of things and and some of them are friendly and some of them are not. You know, you need to learn how to discern between the two. So I, I kept going through my life like this by accident, and then in my forties, believe it or not, that's when it really started to come to fruition.
Speaker 3:And I don't know why that is and apparently it's not an uncommon thing where some of these abilities come to fruition, like in our forties. And I don't know what that, that reasoning is like. Maybe it's because we have that mental clarity, you know, or that cognitive space to do that. Listening, you know, usually you're chasing kids or trying to pay the bills, right, and by the time you're 40, you kind of are settled in in that, in that department, things start to calm. And if you're not settled, you're just used to okay, I don't have enough money in the bank account, okay, fine, like you just kind of leave it alone, right?
Speaker 3:right yeah, so it was in my, it was in my 40s and it really came to fruition. It was the creepiest thing where I would go to sleep and I would, you know, I couldn't sleep because I constantly would hear these whispers, whispers, whispers, and then, as I would wake up, I would, I would then see, you know, like things around me, people around me, and some of them look human, some of them did not that's maybe a conversation for another day. And I didn't understand what was happening. I really didn't. So I went to go see a friend who is a hypnotist and his wife was doing these courses on how to be a psychic, you know, and I thought, okay, let me, let me check it out, just at it, just for shits and giggles, like I didn't know what I was doing. And so I'm in this course. I dragged my, my poor girlfriend, she came and and like some of these psychics are well-known in Ontario, like they're, um, they're, they're top healers, they're, you know, well-known psychics. So I apologize, I'm like I'm sorry guys, you know, I'm just having some stuff happening and uh, you know, I'm just here to check it out and see you know where this goes, and uh, and so I sat beside the instructor because I knew her, and so she made us do this exercise right. First she gets us to meditate, and then she got us to do some exercises where we had to hold an item and and we didn't get to see what that item was like, we had to have our eyes closed and we had to hold that item and then flashes, whatever you hear, whatever sounds, everything. You had to start talking about that. So I go and do my thing and then I'm done. I open my eyes and her jaws like to the floor and I'm like what did I do wrong? She said, no, nothing wrong. Like you, you, you got it bang on. I thought that was the end of it. I thought that was the end of it.
Speaker 3:So I was shopping in this store, was in Stouffville, ontario, and and you get to know the people there, like you, you know, you frequent certain stores and the owner of the store, she, she was freaking out that day because it was Saturday and her medium, her psychic medium, had actually called in sick and she's like you know, scarlett, I need a psychic, you need to, you need to be here, you got to do this and I'm like, I'm like I'm not a psychic. And she's like, yes, you are, and I'm like I'm not a psychic. And she's like, yes, you are, and I'm like I'm not a psychic. Like we went back and forth like kids and then all of a sudden I thought, okay, you know what. Fucking fine, she's in distress, let me just help her up. Who's going to come right? Who's going to come for a reading? Well, I had quite a few readings that day and then I thought that would be the end of it. I really did. I thought that's the end. So that was a Saturday.
Speaker 3:The Thursday she calls me up, she goes, I got to put you on the schedule, you're in demand. And I'm like this was the craziest journey that I've ever been on, because none of it is tangible. You know, you go to school, you, uh, you get a job. You know, like, like I mentioned, I was in real estate. That's all tangible. But this other stuff is not like you don't go to school for this. There's no level of you know where. You say, oh, I'm uh, you know, university level psychic. Nobody tells you, you're just winging it, you're just winging it. The rest, the rest of my friends are, it is history because, um, I, I never had to advertise. It was all word of mouth and it spread like wildfire. And here we are today.
Speaker 1:Wow, and how long? I mean? I'm not trying to age you. How long have you been doing it?
Speaker 3:It has been. I just have to stop and think it's been my gosh about. Oh my gosh, I was in my 40s and I'm 50s. It's almost 20 years. Like are you kidding me? That's oh, you really depressed me now sorry, he does that sometimes yeah, I mean, it comes natural to be fair. That's a relief.
Speaker 1:I depress everyone. Dw was a jolly fellow when I met him so I mean, look at this, all right. So no, okay, you said I just want to go back on a little bit. You said somebody, like a kid, sees a guy with a hat at the end of their bed or something with glowing eyes. So is that a true thing? Guy at the hat at the end of your bed? Is that you?
Speaker 3:That was me.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, that was me.
Speaker 1:And how old were you?
Speaker 3:I must have been about. I mean, if I have to release some, it was anywhere between I know I was not five, I was younger, like it, I want to say about three or four, like I was talking, like that much I remember, but I was little, you know. He would come in the room, um, and he'd be like look, bella, like there's nothing, there's nothing there, there's nothing. I'm like what the he's like, standing right beside this man with the hat, like how is he? And this didn't happen just once or twice, like this was almost a nightly occurrence and I would see about three different ones, you know, on any given night wow.
Speaker 1:I shut that down visually pretty quickly so when you shut it down visually and you're just clear audience at that point, how exactly do you shut it down? Like because you just said earlier that if someone says I don't want to see you, then I mean they're still there, exactly. So basically, are you saying that you're like I don't want to see you?
Speaker 3:Yeah, John, that's a great question.
Speaker 1:I'm just you see what I mean.
Speaker 3:No, I totally get it, I just switched that off.
Speaker 3:No, it's so true, we're the boss in this realm. Like you know, we touch things, we're the boss in this realm, right? So when we give them instructions, they listen. It really is that simple. You know, a lot, of, a lot of people are afraid. You know, I don't, I don't want to talk, or, you know, I've got this ability but I'm afraid to open it up. Well, we shouldn't be afraid to open it up, because it's going to happen, with or without you. You know, as in as in my, my case, I never, I didn't grow up saying you know, there are some people that that grew up saying I want to be a psychic medium, but I didn't grow up like that it was. It was quite the opposite actually.
Speaker 3:You know, and so um, but there are some people that you know, they're generations of. You know mediums and so, yeah, it's a very natural thing where it they're, they're kind of groomed for it too, but in my case I was not, and I do know a lot of people who have. We all have abilities. This is the reality. Everyone's just got like maybe a little different reality, like a different ability, but we're the boss in this realm and we set the parameters, we set the boundaries, whether it's, whether it's, you know, whether it's a benevolent spirit or not. We set those parameters like we're actually the boss. And so if I've given it instructions, I don't want to see you. And it's still there and it's got a message. They understand that they can talk to me. They're going to you know, they're going to try to talk to me, or they're going to try to talk to anybody for that matter.
Speaker 3:You know there's a movie out there I wish I could remember. The actor is a British fellow, I think he's British. He it's called ghost town. Have you ever seen that? And so he, he goes into the surgery. Oh right.
Speaker 1:It's Ricky Gervais. Yeah, I love that comedian.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and so he goes, he has some surgery, something wacky happens, apparently he dies and comes to life. And have him sign all these, you know these documents and so on, and so he seems everything is fine. He thinks everything is fine and as he's walking he's seeing what he thinks are people. He just sees them, right, like a regular person. Well, lo and behold, news news gets out that this guy can see him, like they can see them, and now he's got a crowd of them around and they're all desperate to be heard and that is, know what's going on.
Speaker 3:Some of them don't know what's going on. Some of them left with their heart still here, because maybe they left suddenly, or they left, you know, children behind or family that they love. You know, some of them left their heart here and they're, you know, we call them earthbound. They're walking around searching who can see me, who cannot, who cannot, who can hear me, who cannot. And once they find out, oh my gosh, that person can see me or hear me, or whatever it is. They, they cling. They cling for dear life.
Speaker 1:So you brought up the movie I think it is ghost town and you said you know how he couldn't tell. And I I'm gonna go with this again because I, uh, we we've had several psychic mediums on and each one of them said the same thing. So I'm wondering if you are too. Uh, he couldn't tell whether they were living or dead, correct? Most psychic mediums also say they can't tell whether somebody's living or dead. Is that the same with you?
Speaker 3:it is.
Speaker 1:It is when you could see them.
Speaker 3:What I mean, I, I hear them first, but I hear them as clear as day, like it is. It is crazy, uh. I remember just to give like an example, so, um, in in my, in my real estate days, uh, there was an office that we were working out of and my office. For some reason, I couldn't work in that office I can't remember what the reason was, irrelevant anyways and I was working at another station, had my back to the door and I heard a woman say my voice clearly, but she whispered it. I thought it was my assistant.
Speaker 3:I'm like what the fuck is she whispering for? Like, I turned around. I was about to say Victoria, you don't have to whisper. And I turned around and there's nobody there. So I'm like, okay, that's weird. So I get up and I walk to her desk and I'm like Victoria, were you just there? Were you just calling me? She looks at me like dumbfounded. She said no, no. So I can hear them as clear as day. There are times so I hear them first and then sometimes not always, they will appear, but there are times where I'm walking and or I'm, I'm going somewhere and I can see them just sitting there. And, yes, it takes a moment to figure out if they're real or not wow the moment to figure out was that voice real or not all right.
Speaker 1:So think about that, dw. How many dead people you could be seeing every day.
Speaker 2:You don't even know it you don't want to well, and that's because I don't talk to people, so I just how would I know?
Speaker 1:yeah hey there, pal, it looks like you need a pulse is that supposed to be me?
Speaker 2:Because no. You see how Scarlet is even confused Like she did not. Neither of us knew what happened to that conversation.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I was just saying, dw, that you know you with how you love people so much.
Speaker 2:No, I don't.
Speaker 1:That you would just love the fact that you could. You couldn't tell whether they were living or dead I.
Speaker 2:I just wouldn't know because I wouldn't bother like talking to them and I don't like I have enough problems bringing up like starting a conversation with someone who I know is living. I don't know how. Like starting a conversation with someone who I know is living, I don't know how I start a conversation with someone I'm not sure. Do you say where are you from? Or do you say are you dead?
Speaker 3:That's a great question.
Speaker 2:Do you say where's a good sushi restaurant? Because only the living would know where that is.
Speaker 3:Or I like that. Well, there's. There's a couple of things there, dw, and and it's interesting because, if I rewind a little bit, we talked about different abilities, right? So dw's abilities would be very different than my abilities, would be very different than john's abilities, but everybody has an ability.
Speaker 3:And maybe, dw, since you're not having any interest in speaking to the other side, maybe there's other way that you get information, like sometimes it just something gets downloaded, there's a knowing, like all of a sudden, this idea pops. Or maybe you'll have a dream or a daydream and it's like the best idea that you've had. Or maybe in a dream you speak to someone that has passed away that you love. You know very much, right? So it all can, it all will manifest a very, very differently for different people.
Speaker 3:Now to go back to what you're seeing, what you were asking, I don't ask them about sushi, I don't. It's more. They quietly communicate with me, remember? They haven't spoken to anybody for goodness knows how long, and so now they find someone that they want to talk to or someone that can hear them, and they're desperate to get an information. And it's almost like a flash of light, like I don't know how else to explain it. You know how you see sometimes in movies where they do these flashbacks and so yeah, yeah you get a flashback and it's a sound, or you get a flashback and it's a vision.
Speaker 3:You get a flashback, right, so it it for me. That's how, how it happens. Sometimes that flash is quieter and sometimes it's not. Sometimes, you know, I'm a human being. Sometimes I walk by them, like I remember at church I saw a lady crying in the pew and I'm like, okay, I just walked by and then afterwards I kind of felt bad because I could have had a bit of a conversation with her in my mind's eye. I don't have to sit there and talk to this pew when nobody's sitting there, looking like, you know, crazier than I already am.
Speaker 3:You have the conversation in your mind's eye, right, I could have done that, I could have maybe helped her cross over, and I felt, oh my gosh, I felt really horrible about that because that was maybe a missed opportunity, you know, to help that, that spirit. But yeah, it's um, it's different. They're the ones giving us messages. Now, that is on your everyday, you know, encounter. If you're sitting down and you're doing a reading, where you do coax the conversation, kind of like the way that John is trying to coax a conversation with you. Dw.
Speaker 2:And. I just deflected because I don't like talking to John Right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:It's kind of like that, except now you're open channels. One thing I do I do is be very, very mindful and very, very respectful of spirit, because it is no different than us. There's times that we don't want to talk and then there's times that we do want to talk. There's times where we're comfortable having a conversation and then there's times where we're not comfortable having a conversation. You know, I do recall doing an audience reading prior to COVID and, and this lady, she, she was looking. You know, when someone is just looking at you like wanting a message, like you could just see it on her face. She was desperate. But the interesting thing is I get, I kept getting pulled in her direction and then as soon as I would talk to her, it would go blank. I said to her I know I've got a message for you, but for some reason it's just not coming out right now. And then, maybe about two weeks later from that audience reading, I see this lady and she's in front of me and she walks in with a man. Now, obviously the man is from the other side, he's not of this world, and so I see her and I said you just walked in with a man. And she looked at me and she smiled, she sat down, she goes do you remember me? I said, well, you look familiar. I see so many people. I said you know, forgive me. And she said I was in that audience reading. I said okay, she don't tell me anymore.
Speaker 3:All of a sudden, the husband starts talking and talking and talking and talking. And she says why didn't he? You know, why didn't he talk to me in the audience? And I listened to him and he said it's because he does not like talking in front of people. That is exactly correct. He hated talking in front of people. He did not like you know, he was more one-on-one and I thought well, there it is. There was a spirit that wanted to come across but didn't and waited for that moment that they felt comfortable spirit is no different than than you and I well, it's crazy that you could like read something like you know you're, you're catching something and then they're not giving it to you.
Speaker 1:Yeah and yeah. And then later on they're like oh hey, yeah, that's what I meant it's, um, you know, as a psychic medium, you have to honor that.
Speaker 3:Sometimes it can feel embarrassing, you know, because it it's, it maybe questions your credibility, right, but we're not in charge of that conversation. The only thing we do is open up the space. All we do is bring you know a safe space for them to come in and at the end of the day, it's up to them. It's up to them. It's up to them if they want to communicate or not they, uh, wow, and you guys, basically all psychic mediums.
Speaker 1:You know, you're, you're pretty amazing. You said, you, you, but you all say the same things, with how to explain it, right, yours, you know, with your clear audience. That's interesting to me, especially since you said you didn't start it until you were in your 40s yeah, it is.
Speaker 3:It is a bizarre thing, and hearing whispers when you don't see anything or anybody is a little unnerving. It's a little unnerving and I tell you, you know, if you're, if you're dealing with a benevolent spirit, you'll hear their voice, everything is fine. If you're dealing with a spirit that is of a lower vibrational energy, then what ends up happening is they will mimic people that you know, mimic that, that sound like how they sound Like. The other night, you know where I was sleeping, my hubby's like right next door, like right next door, right next to me, and I heard down the hallway my name being called. I won't repeat it because I'm not, I'm not going to be doing that.
Speaker 3:I could hear it and it was clear as day. It was his voice and I was like no, no, no, no, no, f, you, f, you. We're not doing this, not today, satan, we're not doing it. And so I immediately do my prayers you know which is sometimes tough when you're in that, in that state. But I just have a set of prayers that I do that. They're like mini exorcisms, you know that to cleanse that energy very, very quickly and off it went and everything was, was fine and calm afterwards. But's um, it can be. It can be um a bizarre world, that's for sure.
Speaker 1:It can be a bizarre, bizarre world I'm trying to figure out how it just came about and please don't you know. You said you were in your 40s when you got the gift. Yes, and other people see oh, I don't want to say anything because I can't, but there are people that may or may not be receiving gifts like that in that age range yeah um that, I know of well, you know, I don.
Speaker 3:I don't think I was receiving it at that time. It came alive at that time because, if I'm seeing things as a kid, I saw all kinds of weird things, like I knew if land was haunted or if it wasn't haunted. My dad was always buying land. I don't know why he was obsessed with real estate, but he was, and I could see if there was, you know, as a little girl, and there were times where he'd be like, oh, come on, you know we would go do a family picnic. I'm like I do not want to go to that land, I don't want to have a picnic there, and he didn't understand why we kicking and screaming, but I do.
Speaker 3:Now, when you're a child, you know, and there's no education around it, and I think this is starting to change Parents are starting to be a little more aware. They're a little more, you know, there's there's a lot more information and knowledge and you yourself, john, said that you know every psychic medium you speak to. We're all saying pretty much the same thing, which is a really interesting, you know, because we're taking the untangible and because of guys like you know, you and DW, bringing awareness, you know. You know putting the spotlight on this, these, this kind of information. We're now learning that the untangible is not so untangible, it actually is a little more tangible.
Speaker 3:Now everybody says that we're born with it. Right, we're born with it. So you were born with a set of abilities. Dw was born with a set of abilities. I was born with a set of abilities, and so on, and and some there's different, there's different stories around it. Now, if you remember and I don't remember it too well, but if you remember, I think it was Sleeping Beauty when, when this baby was born, the three fairy godmothers came and bestowed her with yeah, right.
Speaker 3:So I'm like, ok, that's not so much of, that's not so much of a fairy tale. That is exactly what. What has been happening now? Are they fairy godmothers? What do they look like? Who are? Who the heck knows? Nobody knows. But you now start hearing the catholic church.
Speaker 3:So I went down the rabbit hole. Oh, because I witnessed some, uh, very unpleasant, um, very unpleasant, very dark, you know entities, and and then it was like, rather than be afraid of it, I wanted to understand it. So I went down this rabbit hole of you know those kinds of spirits. Some would call them evil, some would call them demonic, some call them lower vibrational. At the end of the day, they're not positive. Whatever we want to label it, it's not positive.
Speaker 3:And so I went down this rabbit hole and I started listening to exorcists, and I started looking even for courses. Can anybody become an exorcist? And you can't. But apparently the Vatican gives these very intense courses on being an exorcist, but you have to be a priest of a certain level, and so on. And I thought, oh, my gosh, well, isn't that interesting. I didn't realize.
Speaker 3:So that then I delve into, you know, going to see where are these Catholic priests that are exorcists, and there's some famous ones, like Father Amorth, who was in Italy, was a very famous, very well-known and very successful exorcist. When I say successful is he removed them. There's guys in Ontario, father Carlos Martins, father Ripperger, who's in the States, and they're now starting to come to the social media platforms, right, so we're starting to get them a little bit more. You know what is crazy? My cat, who is never like this. She is going nuts. I've got like a gate so she can't come in while I'm doing this and if you see her, she is just. I don't know if you can hear her meowing, but she's going bananas in the background, bananas and it always happens where I do these kinds of shows, and something always happens.
Speaker 3:Anyways, today it's it's my black cat freaking out so but going back to you know these exorcists, what, what, what they are? Because they're figuring it out as they're going along too. And father carlos was talking about how, when we're baptized, you're given these gifts. And so, according to the catholic church, who gives you the gift? It's the father, the son and the holy spirit. It's the three, kind of like the three fairies you know in Sleeping Beauty.
Speaker 3:Now, is there a correlation? You know, listen, I have the utmost respect for every and any religion. At the end of the day, to me it matters. It doesn't matter who you are. What matters is the faith that you hold in your heart. That's what matters, and so it doesn't matter what we're following. There's different stories and different, different, beautiful ways of interpreting what's happening. So the Catholic church will say that you get this gift when you're baptized. They also say, though, if you're not baptized, you won't get this gift, which I don't know about that, but but that's what they say.
Speaker 3:So I took a, I took a. Really it should have been a quick, short answer, and I made a super, super long, but that is what. That's what some of these guys are saying about how these gifts are bestowed upon us and, like I said, everybody has an ability. We all were. You know, we're born with gifts. Now, sometimes, when when someone says, oh, you have a gift, I say I don't have a gift because, you know, being a psychic medium doesn't make me special, it doesn't make me better than someone else. I have an ability, no different than anybody else, and and I just happen to have this one and and I just happen to have this one that makes sense.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a good one. And I was gonna say if we were all born with something dw's would be the ability to sniff out a donut shop in the four county where you go or to or to discern apple cider?
Speaker 2:yes, it's an ability.
Speaker 1:It's an ability guys huh yeah, I don't know what mine would be. I, I don't know, uh I don't want to dive too deep into this, but every place I've ever been in has been haunted, so I don't know if it's me or if it's the. You know buildings.
Speaker 3:So it's. It could be a combination. Sometimes it's the land, sometimes it's the building, sometimes it's who you walk with and and you know, and sometimes our abilities are exactly like. What you know, you and DW are doing here, you know, is to shed light on these very difficult topics, you know where. Let me tell you, for the longest time I feared being judged.
Speaker 3:I came from a family that was well to do, very educated. I grew up educated and this was, this was like something that I really was, like a closet psychic, and I started working as a closet psychic. My family didn't know, my daughter knew, my sister knew, and then I had to tell my mom that I was doing this and the way that I did it, because I thought, oh gosh, if I come out of the psychic closet and I tell her she's not going to believe me, but if I invite her to one of my audience readings, that'll be very different. And that's how I came out of the psychic closet was I had my mom come in the audience and, and there it is, she can witness it, experience it, make her own. You know deductions from it.
Speaker 1:So what's the scariest thing that's happened to you as a psychic medium, meaning like something clear audience, something you've seen?
Speaker 3:yeah, there's um there's, there's a couple of things. Um my gosh, where do I start? I'll pick my top two. How's that?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because I mean I could go on and on my, okay. So my number one, so my hubby and I would, would dabble in paranormal investigations, right, but we never were the lead. I would be called onto a site as a medium, you know, by by, you know ghost hunters that that trust me, right. And so this one, this one evening, a couple of a couple that are good friends of ours, they run a successful paranormal investigations company, and and so they, they had partners, right, and it was, you know, husband and wife, and husband and wife, and so their partners didn't make it. But now they have this investigation and their partners bailed on them last minute. So they called us up and said, hey, can you, can you? We can't do it by ourselves. Can you guys come? So my husband and I went. We said sure we can, but we have to finish our day, guys come. So my husband and I went. We said sure we can, but we have to finish our day, right, like my husband had to close the restaurant, I had to do my day, and so we arrived there.
Speaker 3:It was maybe nine, 30, 10 o'clock. The home was very haunted and most of the activity was happening in the basement, and so we're sitting in the pitch dark and you know, you've got the, you got the night vision cameras and you've got the EVPs rolling and we're just sitting in the dark. So it was myself, my hubby and, of course, the other couple, paul and Tina, and it was. It was bizarre because I immediately hear a rustling, I hear movement and and there was. So it was like an L shape. Actually not even an L shape because Paul was sitting in the chair, it was like a U shape. So there was like a sofa, there was like a couch, and then there's like a single chair sofa and in between there was like a couch, and then there's like a single chair sofa and in between there was like a coffee table.
Speaker 3:And, uh, I see this rustling and then all of a sudden, I see this very weird looking dog. It had weird, weird shit on its back, like it. It wasn't spikes, it wasn't fur, but it was kind of between like a fur and spike. The way that it snout was the way that its feet was, and it just crowd around. So I immediately I start communicating.
Speaker 3:I said you don't fool me. And so it walked around, came right beside me. I get goosebumps just thinking about it right now. Came right beside me I get goosebumps just thinking about it right now came right beside me, shape shifted into a child and I said you don't fool me, what is your name? And then it shape shifted into a female like, into a like, a like, maybe a 20 year old, you know, woman or lady, and it shape, it shape shifted into that and I said you don't fool me. I asked you your name, tell me your name. And it didn't respond. Then, all of a sudden, my husband says you heard her, what is your name? And it got caught on the EVP, this entity. You heard its name as clear as day. So for me, if I want to pretend that that thing didn't exist, it was a figure of my imagination, as sometimes I want to do like, maybe, oh, maybe I was exaggerating, maybe I was being a drama queen. You know, being female, that happens sometimes. Right, don't tell anybody I'm not saying this right.
Speaker 3:So I'm like sometimes you see things and you don't want to admit that you see it. But in this case now, there was an actual confirmation of that thing. It was an actual conference, it was clear as day. And of course I went down a rabbit hole because I was googling, googling, googling, googling that name and it so happened to be uh, it happened to be an actual demon and it was one of the demons attached to Ouija boards and I thought, would you look at that like? That is that's effing insane, it's just insane. Now I said to my sister, because you know, she, she, she went into that rabbit hole with me and and she. I said to her, when I asked it its name, it didn't answer. I said why? But I said then, when Ben asked, asked the name, it answered him. She says, oh yeah, the demonic will follow a hierarchy, very much like the Catholic church, where the man is the leader and the woman is the support right, and so it will not listen to the woman, but it'll listen to the man. And I thought that just creeped me out even more. Now, had I been without him, would it have answered me if it deemed me to be the alpha in the group. Possibly, I don't know and I don't want to go back and find out. So we'll leave it at that. But that was one of my top of the weirdest things that happened.
Speaker 3:The second weirdest thing happened actually in our home. So our home, so our home was very haunted. Now, from time to time you still hear some benevolent, you know, spirits, but we did have some other things in here that took a couple of years to really clear, and so when my husband bought the home, it came with this mirror. Okay, this mirror always gives us, gave us the heebie-jeebies. So it was on the wall. He'd removed it and it was now in the hallway and it was in the basement and so it wasn't really seeing anything like. It was just across from our office, right. So it was against the wall and you could see the French doors of our office.
Speaker 3:Now, we never gave it much thought. We go to do a paranormal investigation, and we did it more. You know it was around COVID, it was the first Halloween and nobody could go out to do anything for Halloween. So we thought, wouldn't it be nice, let's do, you know, a Zoom paranormal investigation? And so that's what we did. So we had cameras going constantly. You know you catch some things, you have some fun with, you know the people on via Zoom, and so be it.
Speaker 3:I go to take a look at the footage afterwards and that mirror had this weird entity in it. It did not look human, it looked. It looked kind of like it didn't have round features. It kind of had like more like square-ish type features. It was very strange, but it did have big eyes. Rare-ish type features was very strange, but it did have big eyes.
Speaker 3:And as my husband would walk to check like make sure that, um, that the, the cameras and everything are are are working, this thing would shrink away in the, in the, in the mirror. It would shrink and then, as he would leave, it would come to the surface, it, it was this. It was the weirdest thing. When this thing appeared in the mirror, you could not see the french doors that were directly across it, that our office. You couldn't see anything, you just saw this thing. It would come in and, as my husband would go back and forth, it would come and go, and we showed it to our friends the paranormal investigators and he's like, oh yeah, no, you got to get rid of that mirror. What are we supposed to do with this thing? So he says cover it with a white sheet. It has to be a white sheet. So we did that and after a while, once we did that, there was like an interesting calm in the house. Okay, that's kind of nice, but now we can't keep this thing here and we can't just throw it away. What do you do with it? Now, in our ignorance, we didn't bind it, we didn't, we didn't know right. And we're talking to our paranormal friends and they didn't quite know what to do with it. So, um, so we left it. We left it there.
Speaker 3:Then my mother-in-law God bless, mother-in-laws. She came over. For whatever reason, she had this obsession to remove the white sheet and put a dark, dark blanket on it. All of a sudden, the activity started again, like you've got to be kidding me, you've got to be kidding me. Is this for real got to be kidding me? You've got to be kidding me. Is this for real? So talk to our paranormal friends and they say okay, look you, you got to move this thing out of the house. This is not healthy for you guys, it's not. So my husband puts the white sheet back on it and he duct tapes the fuck right out of it. He's like nobody's taken the sheet sheet off and that's that he posted on facebook marketplace haunted mirror, free. You wouldn't believe about the people that actually wanted this stinking mirror. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 3:So we thought, okay, good, we, we had, we had a buyer a buyer because it was free and we now had to move it right. So we move it and we moved it into this garage that we have that's separate from the home. It's like a work shed slash garage. So we put it in there, wrapped up with duct tape and this white sheet, and we put it in there. The guy came to pick it up, but before he came to pick it up, whatever was in there just didn't want to leave us. It didn't want to leave us. So he, um, it burst like we're on a well up here. And so it burst the well right by, right by, like close to it. I was like you've got to be. This is insane. So you, you know we're doing our prayers. We're like, okay, it'll be gone.
Speaker 3:We said to the guy look, look, this thing is seriously haunted. He goes no, no, I'm good with it, I study it, I'm going to be good with it. We're like okay, now you know how it is with Facebook marketplace and we're in a small town just outside of of the the toronto area. So small towns, everybody knows everyone, right? So my husband didn't mention that he's running this pizzeria. He's, you know this, the chef and so on. And, um, I didn't mention it, he didn't say anything to the guy and he we put the mirror in, he puts the mirror in. This guy's got a pickup truck and we think that's it, we're done. Doesn't this fucking guy show up at the pizzeria, random, random, right right just shortly after, maybe a couple of hours after, all of a sudden, I'm like this stupid mirror does not want to leave us.
Speaker 3:It was, it was crazy, it was crazy. So it was so creepy to see this thing. It was also creepy to see how it affected us in the home, how it affected my mother-in-law. Like how did she, why? Why would she be obsessed to remove that? Like what would be the reasoning behind it? So yeah, those are. Those are my top two. I've got lots of other ones, but those are my top two.
Speaker 1:It's pretty scary. Yeah, stop. What's the saddest thing?
Speaker 3:oh, the saddest boy. Okay, there's, I'll do again my my top two. They are the um, the suicide cases. So there was um, a lady. Her daughter was 16 and she was um. She was um. You know she was a troubled girl. You know like she had um, unfortunately. You know she was suffering from some depression and I think there might have been a separation in the home.
Speaker 3:I don't know what the details were. Um, I don't pry into. You know people's business that way, even when I'm doing a reading, I don't need to know, I don't need to know certain details. I just don't. I need to be there to heal, I need to be there to provide clarity, you know, and peace. That's what. That's what I'm here to do.
Speaker 3:And and so this poor girl, I did the reading for free. You know, we knew about her Um, and this was um when I was working out of a shop and she had come in. We were doing a bit of a, you know, psychic fair, and she comes to sit down. I said your money, I don't want your money here, you just have a seat, let's talk to your daughter. And so, apparently, what had happened and I didn't know, but the daughter whispered it to me was she had waited for the mother to go away a weekend, and that's when she did it. When the mother came home, she found the daughter. And that's when she did it. When the mother came home, she found the daughter. Yeah, the unfortunate part is the way that that poor soul started the communication, because they validate, right, they validate how they've left this world, and all I heard was this poor young girl screaming. That's all I heard. Of course, I didn't go and say that to the mother, and it's oh, I hear your daughter screaming. Like how do you do you know?
Speaker 2:I just said.
Speaker 3:I said your daughter's coming through. She's coming through and I'm just gonna get her. You know, she's quite excited to be able to talk to you. We're just gonna get her to calm down, I'm gonna give her a little bit of space. But, guys, I can never unhear that scream. I can never unhear it for as long as I can. So that is, you know, one of my sad stories.
Speaker 3:Another sad story is a mother, again, that came to see me and it was her son. She, of course, didn't tell me anything. So he brings me back to when they lived in the UK and and I could see his flat, I could see that he jumped out of a window, I could see that the police were checking it out like he's. He's telling me this story by dropping images right and, and I could see all of that and the the police had said it was, uh, an accident. But the mother in her heart knew that the son was troubled and this was him taking his life, that you know. And and so she just wanted that validation. And so I'm, I'm having this conversation and he's coming through very clearly and, um, and, and the mother just burst into tears. As soon as I mentioned the window, she burst into tears and she goes, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it and and she was crying and crying and and you know, you're, you go to console this poor soul and and she said, you know, they told me, they told they lied, lied to me, they didn't tell me that, you know, it was just horrible, like she had been um, lied to, fooled, like and. But a mother always knows, right, a mother always knows, and so that for her was um, like, that was that was.
Speaker 3:Another sad was seeing the mother go through that, you know, after knowing in her heart what had happened, but being told other crap, you know. And then the other sad part was this this had happened maybe like 20 years ago. She had gone from medium to medium to medium to medium and nobody, nobody was able to connect with him. And this is where, you know, it's not the faults of the medium, it's. Maybe this guy felt comfortable talking to me, maybe whatever happened in his mother's life, she was at a point in her journey where she is. She was ready to receive the message, you know. So that was that was another one that was. That was tough. That was tough. Another one that was tough.
Speaker 1:That was tough Alright. So then I'm going to follow it up with a lively one. How about happiest? What's the happiest thing Like?
Speaker 3:uh, where they're funny.
Speaker 1:The ghost is like yay, and you were like woohoo, and then yeah, oh they're.
Speaker 3:They're interesting because um so like funny I don't know about funny, but humorous um humorous means funny dw yeah, I know, but you know, I find, of course I stand.
Speaker 3:I just find that these readings are never like super, super funny. I'll tell you one funny one, though that this was actually funny, that had people laughing was I'm doing an audience reading and you always get skeptics. Right. I respect skeptics because I'm a skeptic Like I do this stuff, and I'm always looking for you know um ways to understand or make the untangible tangible. You hear me talk about that a lot, and so you could see, like this girl, she was like sitting there, she had the scowl on her face and um, and I kept being pulled to her. I kept being pulled. Her I said oh, I said I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm being drawn to you, I'm feeling a male energy and she's like nope, nope, like I'm talking like nasty, bitchy, nope, uh, and and you know, it's not even like she's trying to be polite, right. So I'm, I'm saying well, I'm telling you there's a male energy around you. I said hang tight before you. You. I said hang tight before you. You know, I said let's take a deep breath here, like, just shake that energy off for a moment, let me get you some validation. So I start looking and I'm seeing. So I start with the spirit, as if it's like you know, like a human being at my level, right. So I'm looking, I'm looking. I said I see this male, but I don't see his face. And then I see the energy drop. And then I see the energy drop. I see the energy drop, I said, oh, for heaven's sake, it's a dog. And she burst into tears and everybody started laughing because this the whole, though, just the way that everything you know had unfolded nope, nope, nope. And then it ended up being her dog and she's like, yes, and I explained who the dog was, how the dog looked and, as she said she just was, she was in tears.
Speaker 3:Um, a funny, a funny one. There, I know I've had a couple of humorous ones. Some of them will make me want to have like Tim Hortons before the reading. I'm like I don't know why, but I had to have a Tim Hortons coffee and I don't like Tim Hortons coffee. I usually brew my own and so on. But there's, there's, like you know, there there's a lot of little things like that where they, they show me who you know who they are, but did I have anything really funny? I can't say that that I have um other than just like interesting things. That dog one was funny, I have to say, because it was more the whole scene, not necessarily the dog coming through, but just the whole, the way that that whole thing had unfolded. I showed that skeptic.
Speaker 1:No, I'm just kidding dw is not gonna believe you until you I don't know figure out why he's him so because that would be impressive, because I don't even know who I am.
Speaker 2:So, and the thing is, even if you said it, you, I would be like I don't know, because I'm not sure who I am either. So you might be wrong, I don't know, it's yeah indeed well, yeah often that you're speechless, john.
Speaker 3:No, I'm not speechless.
Speaker 1:I was like well unfortunately no yeah, no, my, my thought process was well, do I finish this or do we ask more questions? And I think it's to ask a couple more questions and then we'll go into our little spiel that we do that's good all right well I do have actually one other funny incident, if you want to hear it. Hey, yeah, let's hear the funny incident.
Speaker 3:Let's do this so we were, I used to, you know, in my um, in my early years of you know, growing, uh, as a psychic, uh, growing my business as a psychic medium, I would attend these psychic fairs, right. And so there was one that was being held and I was there. It was, um, not, you know, it wasn't in our store. So some of the people I would know them already, this was now in some random like fair type, um, I don't even know what you would call it, I can't remember. It was so many years ago, but it was like a fair where anybody from the area would come, anybody, even from Ontario Ontario, for that matter and I got a bunch of kids that came up to me.
Speaker 3:When I say kids, I mean at my age, everybody's a kid, but they were like maybe in their twenties, right, they were, they were young and and you were like you could see, they were like, oh, these are psychics and blah, psychics and blah, blah, blah, and and the guy was looking at me and and he goes, oh, you know, tell me my future. And they were just being, you know, all all weird and um, and I looked at the guy. I said I'd be glad to to sit and do a reading, um, and they were going and well, you know, they were asking me questions. Well, listen, I'm not a carnival act, as if you're looking for a carnival act. That's something a little different, I'm not that. And so the guy is like oh okay, yeah, well, maybe I'll come back for a reading. I said okay, no problem, and I said his name. I can't remember what it was, cause when you're in your trance I don't remember, but I'll say Joe. I said okay, joe, we'll see you later.
Speaker 2:He just looks at me goes how the fuck do you know my name? And I just walked away and that was that's.
Speaker 3:that's nice, yeah he was so dumbfounded because they were kind of poking fun, you know, like poking fun at me and the other psychics that were there and I'm like, oh yeah, we're not carnival acts, I'm not a carnival act, what I do is serious, I take it seriously. But it was kind of they were looking to have fun and I guess maybe they had it.
Speaker 1:I don't know yeah, you probably got them, I got them good well, I'm sitting here thinking do I ask the questions I ask all the other psychic and mediums, or do I think of something new? That's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 3:That's a challenge.
Speaker 1:It is, I'm up for the challenge. Yeah, especially me thinking that's the challenge. I know what.
Speaker 2:Don't think too long. I mean, you know we we have to go to bed in three hours, so I don't know if we have time for your thing for all my thinking all right now.
Speaker 1:I'm just you know what I'm done thinking I'm gonna ask the same old questions and they're really not that same or old or whatever. So I'm going to ask the Walmart question. If you were in a Walmart and you're walking down the frozen aisle, say you're going to go get some Breyers, ice cream or I don't know what you guys have up there in Canada. But you know, say you're going to get it, you know, say you're gonna get that stuff. Okay, that's good, that's good. Ice cream's the same up there it is um all right.
Speaker 1:So you're, you're there getting some ice cream or whatever, and some guys there and he's all like what's up? But he wasn. He's not saying what's up out loud, he's saying it in his head about you. Can you pick that up?
Speaker 3:So if you're so, let me see if I understand. So I'm at Walmart and am I speaking to someone of this world? Like there's someone of this world and then, there's someone attached to them.
Speaker 1:Maybe or no. I'm just saying like, can you hear other people's thoughts?
Speaker 3:oh no, I will never be invasive yeah, that's that's a great question. Oh, can can I do it? The answer is yes, will I do it the answer is no, and the reason?
Speaker 3:the reason why is, um, because it's private. I'm very huge on that. I don't have permission, and the minute you start doing things that you don't have permission for, you start inviting the ugly. You know the lower vibrational stuff. I will not engage in that. There are times where you're walking around, you know. I remember I was in a doctor's office and I heard a whisper can you please tell her that she's going to be fine? I was like that's kind of bizarre. You can't just go up and say, hey, you're going to be fine. Like you do see some of these shows where you know they get kamikaze, right, I don't do that to me, to me that. That that's an invasion of privacy. They haven't given me permission to read their energy. Therefore, I will not read their energy. If something is whispering in my ear and saying, can you tell her everything's going to be fine, I might strike up a conversation. You know I'll strike. I'll strike up a conversation however you want, and then I will say something oh, I'm certain everything's going to be fine. It's the way that I deliver that, the energy that I deliver it with, that. They know that it's not just me speaking Like you can see it, when they receive that message. You can see, because they probably asked one of their loved ones to please give them a message today, you know, and I'm there doing it, but I'm doing it in a way that is not invasive to them. I would never be invasive, I would never go into private things.
Speaker 3:You know, when I first started doing readings, I remember talking to this young girl and my gosh, the poor girl had gone through so much. I'll make it. I'll take a long story and make it short. So I'm reading her and I see her in jail and it's very dark. I see the image. I see her very, you know, distressed, and there's a lot of dark and there's a lot of purple, which is my sign for there's something sinister happening here. And and I said to her, I see you in a jail cell, but you're not supposed to be there. And she just looked at me and she said oh, I was hoping you wouldn't see that. And it was in that moment that I realized and that I made then, you know, a contract with spirit Do not show me the things that I don't need to see. Like I didn't need to see her in jail. Well, what I needed to do was heal her from that. Does that make sense?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I hope I'm communicating that clearly, so I don't need to say you were in a jail cell. I would need to say you just recently, have gone through something very difficult, very heavy. That was not your fault. Spirit wants you to know that it was not your fault. I don't need to see the things that they are feeling embarrassed about. You know, and so it was at that point that I really shifted um how I was doing it and and being even more responsible with the information you know, um, something that would be a message that they're comfortable receiving. Like I said, I'm I'm here to do healing. I'm here to provide clarity and peace. I don't need to be that carnival show that says, oh, like I did, yeah, I'm seeing this and I'm seeing that I did it for that guy, joe or whatever his name was, I don't remember. But yeah, that was a different situation. That was I was, I was having some fun wow, that's good.
Speaker 1:Well, you, you have to have fun, especially doing what you do. So can you turn it on and off like a switch, can you?
Speaker 3:yes, there there is, is some spirit that will still come through, but I remember one time. But you can turn it off, there's no question about it. There are going to be those that are, you know, strong, or they might be what I call residual energy. You know so, like, if you walk through your front door door thousands of times in your lifetime, there's a good chance that you're going to have a residual haunting. So your spirit is there, your energy is there. I won't be able to communicate with you, but I'll just see you coming through that door back and forth, right? So there is residual energy. So those kinds of energies.
Speaker 3:We may not always have the ability to turn it on and off, it just depends on what's going on, but we can ask them to not communicate at a certain time. Head, um, you know to sleep, uh, put my head down on the pillow and I hear something, I smell something, and it smelled like, um, like something burning, like flint, like you know, when you like the sulfur, when you match yeah so and and now I open my eyes and there's this man who appeared very European and his hip had been shot.
Speaker 3:And I looked at him. I said, oh my gosh, I'm really sorry for what you've been through. I'm just really tired right now. Can you come and see me in a couple of days, like in three days? I gave, I gave him a number and and he just looked at me and poof, he was gone. Three days later he showed up and I was I don't know the spirit. I don't understand why I was seeing the spirit, but then when I went to go check the news, there was a shooting in in the area, like in my area, and especially where this ethnic group, like this gentleman, looked Italian. So there was an area that was very much Italian and there was a shooting. Now I couldn't see any photos of the guy that got shot. I wish I had, because that would be. That would have been pretty cool, because then I would have been able to put you know the what I saw and what, what he looked like, what he was. Maybe it was the right guy, maybe it wasn't, but it was an interesting coincidence very much.
Speaker 1:So. Holy crap, so you can turn it on and off like a light switch. Do you ever do that like say, I don't know, you're pegged into somebody, you're reading somebody or whatever, and a ghost is a jerk, you know you shut that off, or do you just? Let it go and see where it goes.
Speaker 3:The interesting thing is, a ghost will never be a jerk, unless it's. It's a lower vibrational entity and so you're gonna. You're gonna call me crazy, but I have a way of validating and I picked this tip up from exorcists. You ask it to show you their shoes. If they show you your shoe, the shoes, you know you're not dealing with anything negative. But if you're seeing no shoes, or you'll see in some shows where the feet are backwards, you now know that that is not. Or or you'll see in some shows where the feet are backwards, you now know that that is not. Or sometimes you'll see hooves or something that is not benevolent.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I shut it down, but you will never see, you will never see a benevolent spirit being a jerk. They are grateful you might pick up on their, on their demeanor when they were on earth, that they might've been a bit intense or whatever. But spirit that shows up, at least in my personal experience in my space. I've never had any of them be a jerk. If it, if they are being a jerk, if they're being tricksters, they are not anything or anybody that you want to talk to and you send them out of your space immediately, or anybody that you want to talk to and you send them out of your space immediately.
Speaker 1:I don't know if I could do any of that stuff, like any of it, hearing, the seeing, any of that stuff. Like I said before, dw would be all like 100% into being a psychic.
Speaker 2:I would just be telling everyone can you come back in three days? You, I know I told you three days. Can you come back in another three days?
Speaker 3:That would work.
Speaker 2:I'm not here. Please leave a message and I'll get back to you.
Speaker 3:That would work. I got to try that. Leave a message I'm not here.
Speaker 2:I got to try that your spirit is very important to me. Your spirit will be responded to in the order in which it was received I don't know what that was oh my god that's
Speaker 3:awesome, I like that. Psychic answering service is what that was. Oh my God, that's awesome. I like that.
Speaker 1:Psychic answering service.
Speaker 3:That's a whole new business.
Speaker 1:I'm down, I'll try anything new. It's good. Dw will give relentless calls about our freaking.
Speaker 2:Actually our business idea. I can't remember if this was the last week or the week before we were going to have a psychic service where, if you thought your uh significant other was cheating on you, you would come to us and we'd be like oh yeah, that'll be fifty dollars thanks, go ahead. Yes, they most definitely are so yeah, I wonder if my boyfriend yeah he is 150 yeah I would just tell everyone yes, because if they're coming to me they're probably right.
Speaker 2:So what's her name? I don't do that. That's sorry, it's not my expertise. We have a psychic.
Speaker 1:Her name is scarlet. She's the one that's gonna tell you what her name is she has names.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly, she knew who joe was before he even did so, that's funny that's good stuff, all right.
Speaker 1:Well, I guess we've come to the part of the show where you get to tell our listeners where they can, you know, get a hold of you for readings and anything else they want.
Speaker 3:I appreciate that at appreciate that At the moment, my website is is under construction, so my website won't be a good resource. My email will be the best resource and that is scarlet's whispers at gmailcom, and Scarlett is spelled with one T and there is an S scarletswispers at gmailcom.
Speaker 1:That's pretty awesome. Do you have any like? Are you on Facebook or anything like that?
Speaker 3:I am Scarlet Soul Cafe, so on Instagram and on Facebook, Scarlet Soul Cafe.
Speaker 1:There you go. Awesome. Well, I just you know we get to this part. And then DW gets all nervous because he knows it's getting to the end, but it's.
Speaker 2:I'm not nervous, I'm. I'm disappointed for our guest because, especially when it's your turn to do this Scar, you're gonna have about 15 minutes of food related questions, so just prepare yourself anyway, we get to this part and I had, I have a couple things I need to say.
Speaker 1:Uh, the first thing is explaining what we're doing here and this is this or that. What I'll do is I'll ask you a couple questions and you just yeah, this or that.
Speaker 3:Alright, let's have some fun.
Speaker 1:Alright, we'll do that. And then I have to ask this too, because you know I feel as bad if I don't do it. Dw.
Speaker 2:Is it? I can't remember whose turn it is actually.
Speaker 1:I think it's mine, but I would have to ask you Anyway, yeah, because last week we had turn. It is actually, I think it's mine, but I would have to ask you anyway.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because last week we had the Ted Kaczynski discussion. If, I remember.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, so it's my turn. Yeah, okay, alright. Alright, scarlett, let's do this or that. You good with that?
Speaker 3:I'm good with that.
Speaker 1:Alright, let's roll Alright, since DW's right on about every single thing that he. You good with that. I'm good with that. All right, let's roll All right, since DW is right on about every single thing that he's ever said. I'm going to start off with 15 minutes of food, so here we go. We'll start with breakfast, most important meal of the day. Do you want your eggs scrambled or over easy?
Speaker 3:uh scrambled awesome bacon or sausage oh, bacon toast thing too, I think, isn't it.
Speaker 1:What's that?
Speaker 3:isn't bacon like a canadian thing? I just really was canadian bacon too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, it was a horrible, horrible movie that uh john candy was in when he exactly yeah, oh, anyway, but oh, john candy late, I forgot about that. Toronto, that's. That's where john yeah, he lived.
Speaker 3:yeah, he lived actually pretty close by. Wow, all of that SCTV cast did that All in Toronto.
Speaker 1:That's pretty awesome.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it is actually. It's strange, it was a very unique group of guys. Anyways, let's get back to the this or that.
Speaker 1:We'll get back to John Candy here in just a couple of minutes. All right, I was at breakfast, wasn't I? Okay, would you rather have a donut or a bagel?
Speaker 3:Oh my gosh, Neither Do I have to say this or that. Okay, if I had to, it would be a bagel.
Speaker 1:Okay, all right, very cool, we're going to you, know, know, do some traveling now. Would you rather go to wonderful las vegas, nevada, or new orleans, louisiana, during mardi gras?
Speaker 3:new orleans 100 hands down it makes sense it.
Speaker 1:There's a flow here that people don't want to party a little bit. They choose Vegas. But most of the paranormal community has been saying New Orleans no kidding. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Oh, isn't that interesting.
Speaker 1:It's pretty cool. If you were going to New Orleans, would you drive or fly?
Speaker 3:I got to fly, I got to fly. I have no choice. A drive from Canada.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:That'll, that'll take me, oh gosh.
Speaker 2:It's going to take her days.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'll miss it altogether. I got to fly, I have no choice.
Speaker 1:I'd do it, but you know.
Speaker 3:I would prefer to drive. Truth be known, I'd prefer to drive, but that won't make sense.
Speaker 1:Okay Now would you rather go to Wonderful Disneyland or Universal Studios?
Speaker 3:I would say Universal.
Speaker 1:So you can see the monsters. That's where I'd go.
Speaker 3:I think it would be so fascinating to experience that.
Speaker 1:It's pretty badass.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:Alright, another fun question Alright, paranormal or comedy?
Speaker 3:Oh, you're making me choose between my two loves. If I were to do it or if I were to listen.
Speaker 1:If you were to do it Like you have to choose oh, if I had to, I'd suck as a comedian.
Speaker 3:I'd suck as a comedian. It would be paranormal then.
Speaker 1:All right Okay. All right Okay, that works Huh.
Speaker 3:It's not my ability. I was not gifted with it.
Speaker 2:John too. That's why he does paranormal podcasts, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yep, absolutely, yep, absolutely, that's good. Okay, alright. Now always the question of the episode. And trying to think I don't know if we went with this one before, but I'm going to do it anyway John Olsen or Jack the Ripper. To think I don't know if we would went with this one before, but I'm gonna do it anyway, john olsen or jack the ripper john olsen okay, oh, without hesitation without hesitation and absolutely yeah, even if you had put yeah another guy in there.
Speaker 1:Yeah Me, at least. Without hesitation, I beat Jack the Ripper. It was the only one I've beaten, but still I'm going to take that's a win.
Speaker 2:It's, but you've had way too many close calls, is the thing. So I think, scarlett, I think you just became his favorite, because normally either he loses or they have to think about it for a really long time, and usually so we have people that are like well, jeffrey Dahmer, if he's going to cook, he probably knows how to grill.
Speaker 3:So no, yeah, see.
Speaker 1:No, that's nasty there you go see, she knows it absolutely all right. Well, I mean I'm happy, dw, because I finally won yeah it.
Speaker 2:It took us 87 episodes, but yeah, you finally won.
Speaker 1:Yeah, see the one person out there that they like me. That's good. Well, Scarlett, I want to say thank you very much for joining us tonight. It was fun.
Speaker 3:It's been an absolute pleasure. You guys are a great team. Thank you, it was fun. It's been an absolute pleasure. You guys are a great team, thank you. It was so much fun.
Speaker 1:I'm a good team.
Speaker 2:No, you are not a good team. We are a good team. You're not a team on your own. There's no John Olsen in team.
Speaker 1:But we're not a couple.
Speaker 2:I know.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
