Can You Hear Me Now?
What does it mean to be psychic? Is it all just ghostly visions and messages from the beyond? Why has a psychic never won the lottery? (Okay, I can't actually answer that one.) Psychic actually means more than just a mind reader. In this episode, I discuss psychic connections and why some of us can see and feel things that others can't. Join me now in the cemetery!
Skeered!
Join me in the cemetery as we discuss FEAR! What is fear? Why do we get scared (or "skeered" as they say here in the south)? What scares your beloved Twisted Libra? Is it children? (it's children) So, venture into the graveyard if you dare! We're going to talk about things that scare...you...okay, that didn't really rhyme...I suck at this...just enjoy the episode...
Vamping Out Part 2!!!
One episode was just not enough to discuss my favorite supernatural creature, THE VAMPIRE! Join me once again as I go further into my love of the lore, and I also give some damn good recommendations! Who wrote about vampires before Bram Stoker? Who influenced the genre as we know it today? What does this vampire lover think of Twilight? Listen and find out! Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss any of the fun here in the cemetery! Sit back, raise a chalice of O Positive (and perhaps a corpse or two), and enjoy the show!
Vamping Out!
We're talking about vampires this time, my lovelies! Sit back, relax, raise your chalices of AB Negative, because I have quite a lot to say! So much so, there is definitely going to be a part 2 for more vampire talk next week! Enjoy!
I'm the ghost with the most...
Join me in the cemetery today as we discuss GHOSTS! Have you seen one? Have I seen one? Have you seen me? Why were you looking through my blinds? Wait...wrong conversation. Anyway, join me now for ghosts, ghost hunting, and some killer (haha, killer) links for some top notch ghost aficionados! You can also feel free to browse around the cemetery when we're done!
