Belleview Biltmore Hotel

Haunted or Hoax?

The Belleview Biltmore was built in 1897 by railroad tycoon, Henry Plant. It boasts many famous guests that include Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Babe Ruth, and Margaret Thatcher. It sits on 22-acres and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It is a beautiful hotel that everyone should experience at least once!

I was fortunate to be invited to accompany Tim Huck from Clearwater Ghost Hunters to this amazing hotel in Clearwater, Florida. He had already been to this “haunted” hotel a few times and I found the invitation to join him too exciting to resist-especially since this would be the last chance before the hotel closed for 3 years for extreme renovations.

The existence of ghosts has never been a question in my mind and I found it a challenge to prove this fact to others so on May 16, I checked in for a night of talking to dead people.

I traveled to Clearwater from Bradenton, Florida with my daughter, Jordan (7), my Aunt Sandy, her daughter Amy and grand daughter, Alexandra (8).  Jordan has always believed in ghosts, angels, and fairies but I knew that my relatives might have a difficult time sharing personal space with anything they couldn’t see and/or hear.  Tim was kind enough to allow the younger girls to verify the fact that there were no ghosts in our room by giving them an electromagnetic meter to check in every nook and cranny of our room.  It set their little minds at ease to know that our room was occupied only with laughter, love and gratitude for a great experience.

My first experience of the presence of earthbound spirits was right off the elevator to our 3rd floor room. While I walked down the hallway to our room, I immediately felt light headed and knew that since I have the gift of clairsentience (clear feeling), this was an indication of a very eventful night. I am also clairvoyant (clear seeing) and have telepathy but knew it would take more than these gifts to satisfy the general population of any type of haunting.

Tim was definitely prepared for this ghost hunt by a myriad of equipment-most of which I had no understanding. He was the scientist trying to make the appropriate distinction between haunt or hoax and I was the psychic trying to help by finding the spirits and trying to understand why they couldn’t leave this hotel.

The night began with a bang by the presence of ghosts in the hallway across from the elevators on the first floor. The electromagnetic meter reading went from a 0 to 15 and stayed steady there for most of the night. I was so lightheaded and disoriented that I felt as though I would fall over every time I was in that vicinity but since there were so many people wandering the halls, it was too difficult to get any names, genders, or descriptions. Tim, on the other hand, had to remain neutral so he decided the meter was high because of the enormous amount of electricity in the area, including the massive wiring in the underground tunnels right below the flooring. Although I knew better, I decided to let it go and return after the ghost tour. We returned 4 hours later to the exact spot and the readings of the electromagnetic meter had gone down to a 0….hmmm.

Tim has had his own experiences at this hotel and believes that it is definitely haunted but his analytical mind has to keep all of this investigation on the scientific level. I understand that most people need actual proof that they can either see or hear, and I also knew that my findings probably wouldn’t be able to do this unless I could get some response from the spirits recorded on his EVP.

The actual ghost tour definitely showed me the presence of a few ghosts that included two young children-a boy and a girl-that were both afraid and very sad, and a very angry man that wanted everyone to leave. These earthbound spirits were located on the 5th floor of the very first few rooms we visited. The one that made the biggest impression and had the greatest effect on me was the scared little boy that seemed to be as drawn to me as I was to him. I was called into this room repeatedly by various reactions within my body; ie:  severe headache as soon as I stepped in and immediate relief when leaving, light headed and general feelings of a paranormal presence.  I asked Tim to bring his equipment in to verify my impressions but he went through the room with little or no readings.  I requested to hold his very precise electromagnetic meter and EVP. I knew the little boy was as close to me as he could get and wanted to see if he would eventually say something that could be heard by the human ear through his voice recorder. He was very shy and seemed to be looking for and desperately missing his mother. As soon as the meter was handed to me it spiked a very high reading so Tim left the room to see if I could get the little boy to talk. I tried to communicate with him but, as with all children when they are scared, they usually prefer not to talk. It broke my heart to see such pain and anguish so I called on Archangel Michael to help him find the white light so he could be reunited with his parents. The boy would not go for fears that only he knew but just as he was declining, Tim opened the door and the boy vanished. At that minute, the meter went back to a zero.

Although there were other “hot spots” in that same vicinity, this experience was the most daunting to me. The scared little boy would have found the peace and happiness that his soul deserves if he hadn’t been attached to the thought that going into the light would either prevent him from ever finding his mother or that he had already made his mother mad for not following her into the light the first time and feared the consequences.

The other two spirits I encountered that night were only brief but they left a feeling of loss, fear, sadness and/or anger, which is quite typical for earthbound spirits.

I would be very anxious and delighted to be able to return to this amazing hotel after their re-opening in 2012 and try to convince some of these spirits to let go of all attachments and return home where they will find all the love, peace and happiness that their soul deserves.

I would like to express my gratitude to Tim and hope it is the first of many ghost hunting expeditions that we encounter!

In Memory of….my mom

This blog was promised to be a teaching tool for any of you that want to learn about metaphysical issues but it seems like a good day to explain exactly how I got to this point myself.

March 22, 2002-I remember it like it was yesterday but it also seems like so long ago.  I was slapped in the face with the ultimate reality of losing someone very important in my life-my mom, my very best friend.  This was the day my life would change beyond anything I had ever imagined and although at the time it felt like the end of my life, I now know it was just a new chapter.

My mom had a brain aneurysm that ruptured and even though she had one of the top neuro-surgeons performing his magic, it just wasn’t enough to pull her through.  Her spirit left her body on March 22, 2002 and the moment this happened is still very vivid in my mind.  It was very early in the morning and my dad and I were awakened at the same time.  We had no idea at the time but this was my mom saying good-bye as another aneurysm ruptured.

It has been 7 years since that fateful day and although at that time I had no idea how (or why) to go on, God and His angels made it very clear what I needed to do.  I feel guilty sometimes because I know that if my mom would have stayed with us, I would be in a completely different place in my life.  I love and miss her more than I can express but I honestly believe that the course of events which took place were God (and my mom) making sure that I followed the path that was truly meant for me.  It is Divine Timing and everything that led up to this point was an indicator of the miraculous hand that God places on us to make sure we are aware of our true potential.  The potential that is in every one of us!

It is that voice in our head that keeps telling us to do what makes our soul sing, our heart dance,  and our spirit soar!!  Sometimes we ignore it or learn to tune it out because it’s easier to live a life of convenience or repetition.  I was in that life before my mom passed away and at that time I thought I was happy.  The voice in my head, which is ultimately God,  kept telling me that I could be or do anything but my ego kept crashing that guidance into the ground.

The saying “God works in mysterious ways” was hard for me to accept-especially right after her death, but it seemed as though these were the words that I continually heard. When you are grieving you don’t want to hear such things but anyone who has lost someone close to them eventually realizes this phrase to be truth.  We, as humans, have a hard time accepting death because time seems to go by so slowly after a death.  Time is only an illusion and our friends and family that have already crossed over have no idea that the ache in our hearts seems to linger forever.

Time….it took me quite a bit of this commodity to realize that I could sit in self pity for the rest of my life or start to live my life in accordance to my destiny.  My ego was put aside and I began to feel joy in my heart and soul again.  I attribute my new-found passion in life to the sacrifices that my mom made-not to say that she decided to walk with God for my benefit but the fact that she chose (she came to me in a dream shortly after passing and told me that she had a choice and her decision was based on the fact that if she came back, it would not be in the same capacity as she had been) to do this was the most unselfish act a person can make.  Actually, unselfish is/was the most definitive word I could ever use for my mom!  Her children and grandchildren were her life and given the fact that she waited longer than most to have grandchildren, I know it took a lot for her to leave all of us.

I have come so far since that heart wrenching day of despair and wanted/needed to devote this post to my best friend….my mom.

Below is the poem that turned out to be my very first “automatic writing”-although I had no idea at the time.  It came to me while contemplating a very special way to honor her and is now what is written on her headstone.

Gone too young, too soon

With so many things still to do

Your family loved you with all their heart

The perfect grandma right from the start

You were such a great mother-so selfless and kind

Always giving to your children

Without a second thought in your mind

You were my best friend as well as my mother

The best mom in the world and a friend like no other

Now I feel so alone with a big hole in my heart

But I must go on because that’s what you would want

Gone too young, too soon

You waited so long for grandkids, too

Most of them will never know

The generous love and kindness that you have shown

Kriistian and you were like two peas in a pod

For you it was spoil the grandkid and spare the rod

We all miss you so much, mom-can’t believe that you’re gone

Everything in this world just seems so wrong

But if I’ve learned anything from you is that a mother’s kids are here life

So I’ll put my sadness aside and try to do what’s right

We love you, Mom!!!

Always and Forever

My Website

Well, it seems as though God is making his point to me again. I was guided to make a website but put that idea way in the back of my head for-at least a year, but probably more like 2. I kept hearing it and knew, as it got louder, I couldn’t wait any longer so I gave myself a date of January 1, 2009 to begin. I guess that date wasn’t soon enough because God sent me a brilliant webmaster (who I already knew but was living over 1000 miles away) to kick me in the butt and get started in December of 2008. I have immense gratitude to God for giving me that extra push because as much as I wanted to get a website, I had no idea how I was ever going to find the time to learn all the specifics. It is now done and as happy as I am about that, I know there are a few more things that I am being “pushed” to do.

Obviously, starting a blog was another thing that I pretended I didn’t hear…..until today. When God wants His point across, not only does He do it in the most loving manner possible, He is very tactful and proficient.

Below is a letter that was sent to me today and I was so close to listening to my ego say: “Starting a blog will only” blog” you down. You don’t have time to sit and write everyday! Who do you think you are? I almost hit the reply button to see if I could answer this question but thought that a lot of people might want to read the answer. So as of now I am going to begin a blog that answers questions that pertain to the metaphysical world. I might not be able to write every day but will make a point to do it at least weekly. I hope you enjoy and possibly learn something new today.

Hi Faith,  I have a question for you if you don’t mind, this was posted from a friend of mine on the Lisa Williams site that I belong too,,hope you don’t mind,

Hey all!

I was wondering if anyone can give us some insite about angels incarnating on earth.  I believe that they dont.  I feel that they are just protecters of God and are here to watch over and protect us. But I would love to know what anyones Guides say about Angels incarnating.  I was interested in knowing because im reading a book and this Psychic says that their are Earth angels or angels that incarnate.

Thanks so much for your help, its a good question, I would like to know this also…

Honestly this subject is a little controversial but I will try to answer it to the best of my knowledge and with a little help from Dr. Doreen Virtue’s book “Earth Angels”
I should start by stating that an Earth Angel should not be confused with the term Incarnated Angels. There are different realms of Earth Angels and an Incarnated Angel is but one of these realms.
An Earth Angel feels different from other people, as if they were dropped off on this plane and wonder when they get to go home. They sometimes have a passion and talent for healing, teaching, or helping others, yet have their own abuse problems, weight issues, or relationship challenges.
An Earth Angel is a lightworker that may have spent time in heavenly realms far from our Earth, in the Angelic Realm, the Elemental Kingdom, or other planets.
There are five groups of Earth Angels and each has accepted their Divine assignment to come to Earth and spread their teachings and healing energies. The five groups include Incarnated Angel, Elementals, Starpersons, Walk-Ins, and Wise Ones.
There are characteristics for all Earth Angels and each is unique to every realm but since I was only questioned about Incarnated Angel, I will tell you their specific characteristics.
First let me clear up the difference between Incarnated Angels and God’s messenger Angels. God’s angels may briefly take on human form to prevent a tragedy and then vanish without a trace while Incarnated Angels choose to live their entire lives in a human body. I also need to add that some might use the term “reincarnated” instead of “incarnated” but the actual term is “Incarnated” because incarnation means “in the flesh” while reincarnation means “to be made flesh again”. An angel may have lived more than one life in human form, but their most recent realm was angelic.
Incarnated Angels (IA s) tend to:
· have sweet, heart-shaped faces
· “look” like angels (whether male or female)
· have Cupid-bow lips and large doe-like eyes that radiate innocence and love
· be a fixed astrological sun sign: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius
· be professional helpers, such as teachers, flight attendants, nurses, and counselors
· lighten or highlight their hair
· have difficulty saying no and feel gulty when others help them
· love angels and have collections of angel statues, books, jewelry, etc.
· have extra guardian angels
· seem to glow, with a huge aura around them
· fall in love with someone’s potential and try to coach that person to greatness
· have co-dependent relationships with addicts and alcoholics
· stay in relationships much longer than the average person would
Many Incarnated Angels have health problems, especially fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and gynecological concerns. They also have “giving and receiving imbalances” since most spend their time “giving”. Whenever we give, we automatically receive so when IA’s spend their time helping, teaching, counseling, etc., they block the flow of receiving for themselves through self-sabotage, self-denial, and wasteful spending.
IA’s also love to follow rules, are very uncomfortable breaking them, and considered perfectionists.
In conclusion, this realm is very near and dear to my heart because after taking the quiz “What Type of Earth Angel Are You?”, I concluded that I am an Incarnated Angel with possibly a little Incarnated Fairy in the mix. LOL.
The quiz that I mentioned is fun to take and if anyone is interested I can post it. It is included in the book “Earth Angels” by Dr. Doreen Virtue, along with a magnitude of information on all the Earth Angels and their characteristics.
I hope that answered your questions and don’t forget to give me your thoughts on the subject. Like I said, it might sound a little far-fetched for some people to grasp but after you pick the particular realm that you belong to, you might just take a deep breath and say: “Ya! I knew I was an angel-now I can prove it!” (in my case, of course)
