Guest Author Day with Karen Michelle Nutt

Spirits from the Other Side by Karen Michelle Nutt

A year ago, my friends and I went to see AJ Barrera, who is a psychic-medium. There were about 158 people there for the event, so my expectations of having a reading were pretty slim.

Barrera explained that his communication with the other side was more like impressions, not actually chatting with the spirit in a way we have conversations. So as he revealed the impressions and if it sounded like it could be one of our loved ones, he wanted us to stand. There was always a possibility of similarities, but as he continued to receive the impressions, it should eventually become clear who the spirit was trying to reach.

For the first reading, Barrera started by saying he felt the spirit was looking for someone in a particular area of the room, which so happened to be the area where my friends and I were seated. Then Barrera said the spirit's name, which happened to be my father's name. He then mentioned the spirit's complications with his health right before he died. That was my father's ailments. I couldn't believe it. Was it really my dad?

When Barrera named my mother's name and then my siblings', my two friends kept nudging me and telling me the spirit wants to connect with you. Stand up!

Don't get me wrong, I genuinely want to believe we could communicate with our loved ones, but there was that nagging feeling in the back of my mind wondering if this was all a sham, but yes, I finally stood.

However, as Barrera revealed other impressions he received, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with the possibility this reading was all too real. He knew my father's personality, his physical appearance, and the things he would say to us. Sure, perhaps the psychic could find some of this online, but there were other things he could not have known or located with a Google search. My father passed away before cell phones with video cameras and social media were around to broadcast our every move. A primitive Myspace was the popular platform at the time that my father passed away. So there weren't any recordings of his voice or him talking anywhere online.

What proved even stranger— as if this wasn't already extraordinary— was the two people I thought about before I left home to go to this event were the very souls that came through the strongest. My father, for one, and of course, one could easily assume I'd want to speak to my father, but the other spirit was even a surprise to me. I've lost many family members I was close to, so there was no reason for me to think of my father-in-law. The man passed away before I met my husband, but for some reason, thoughts of this man popped into my mind right before I left the house. So even if the psychic could have somehow found out information about my family, he wouldn't have known about the two people I hoped would come through for the reading? According to Barrera, my father wanted to introduce me to my father-in-law. Crazy, I know. According to Barrera, my father had quite a few souls with him, which I found comforting. Family and friends surrounded him.  

 

Everything considered, I found the reading eerily fascinating. All I can say, it was an experience like none other.

 

Everything about the paranormal and the supernatural intrigues me, and I want to explore all possibilities, while my love for music inspires and soothes my soul. In my Rock Star Romance series, I've weaved both my passion for the paranormal and music into the tales. Each book is a standalone story, so you don't have to read them in any order. However, one or two of my characters from the other books show up for a featured spotlight. All books are available in print, eBook, and audio formats.

 

Thank you, Dawn, for having me here today.

 

Questions to the readers: Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever been to a psychic? If so, share your experience with us.
