Encounters x256

Happy birthday to Corinne. This episode is dedicated to one of her dream jobs - being a living garden gnome - and the awkward parts of growing up. Magical gray nipple hairs and the moment your contractors politely place your perinatal massager, that very much looks like a dildo, on top of your clean laundry. Today, we are discussing some documented Garden Gnomes from history. Mr. Remington, Father Francis and the Craigslist post requesting a personal gnome.  The job of being a living garden gnome is believed to have started in the early 15th century. Francis of Paola wrote about this hermit living in a cave on his fathers estate. And throughout France, there was evidence of dukes and lords having resident hermits. These people, the hermits, would live on wealthy properties and provide entertainment to their landlords.  But there was always a catch. It might, in theory, be Corinne’s dream job, but it wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies. For example, Charles Hamilton, an 18th century British aristocrat and member of Parliament, wanted an ornamental hermit. He wanted to hire someone for a seven year term contract to live in the sprawling gardens at his Painshill estate, but the hermit was never allowed to speak. He couldn’t even talk to the servants who bring him his daily meals. He was required to wear a goat’s hair robe, could not cut his hair, nails or beard — EVER. Is the Garden Gnome a Narnia-like-dream-job where you pontificate on worldly philosophies, or a grueling, cruel life of indentured servitude? Have ghost stories of your own?

Penny Wittbrodt was supposed to die. Actually, she did. Penny spent five days in a medically induced coma and what she saw and experienced changed her life. We first covered Penny’s miraculous story in Episode 217 - The Near-Death Experience of Penny Wittbrodt. Today, we were fortunate enough to sit down with Penny herself and hear the story firsthand. Penny is a bright light in the world and despite the trials she has endured, she has such a positive outlook on life. Penny is sharing her story with us, the miracle of her daughter’s near-heart surgery, some self-defense techniques and a whole lot of laughs. While Penny may not have seen Elvis in the astral/between plane, her incredible story assures us even more that there is life after death.  Want to learn more about Penny?

You've heard of Salem, Massachusetts - a town infamously known across the world for the horrendous Salem Witch trials and the falsely accused men and women who were sentenced to death for practicing witchcraft, but have you heard of its neighbor, Marblehead, Massachusetts? Marblehead is full of charm and it happens to be Sabrina's new home.  Crooked streets, lopsided houses, a picturesque Americana town that inspired horror writer, H.P. Lovecraft - Marblehead is charming, rich with history of daring sea captains, pioneers in industry and the most historic homes in a United States town, but it is also flooded with history and haunts. The energy is palpable. And if you're a fan of Hocus Pocus, you'll recognize the Old Burial Hill (a Marblehead cemetery) from the film -- it's the cemetery in which Max gets his sneakers stolen. A screeching woman, a white wizard, accused witches, haunted schools, and so many other hauntings occur in this small town...  Despite their independence from Salem, Marblehead was plagued by the neighboring Witch Trials and one resident, Wilmot Redd, was found guilty of witchcraft and executed by hanging on September 22, 1692 in Salem, MA. A plaque is dedicated in her owner at the Old Burial Hill Cemetery -- a historic Puritan burial ground that was established in 1638 and is known to be haunted. People report hearing disembodied voices and footsteps or seeing shadow figures and apparitions. Marblehead is also home to one of the oldest coastal forts in the United States -- the Old Fort Seawall -- which was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in April of 1975.

Have you put much thought into what happens when you die? Or have you ever wondered if perhaps this wasn't your first time living life? What if our souls reincarnate time and time again, living through various ages, lives and times? What would you like to come back as? Is there a period of time in which you feel drawn to -- could it be from a past life? Sabrina thinks she would have thrived as a little house mouse moving through the bowels of old castles and learning the secrets of the wealthy families while Corinne would like to come back as a Garden Gnome and feels as if she lived a past life during the Ancient Greek times — we are talking pre-Julius Cesar.  This week, we are sharing stories of reincarnation and past lives from our listeners. We'll meet the bread baking ghost named David who we love to believe is haunting the Great British Baking Show, hear of a big booty birthmark that might symbolize a death from a past life, get chills from a horrifying, cold-fingered bird creature and wipe our teary-eyes from sweet stories of family members coming back as newborn babies and a beloved pet reincarnated.  Have ghost stories of your own?

We’ve heard stories of loved ones communicating through phone calls from the other side. This episode is a look into some more notable cases of mysterious post-death communication.

Peck was tragically taken from this world in a railway accident and called his loved ones 35 times after his death. Dean Koontz, received a warning from an all too familiar female voice telling him to “be careful.” Only a few days later, was he caught up in a life-threatening situation. Despite dying in 2011, Jack Froese mysteriously began to email his family months later!
