gradually getting them back.  She is very intuitive and considers herself a psychic intuitive since most of what
she picks up is based on intuition. Although at times she can predict things like when a phone is going to ring or
have dreams about something that may happen a couple days later and finds she often experiences dejavu.

studied Reiki and EFT techniques. While living in Canada he was a member of The Eternal Hope Spiritualist
Centre.

Both Russell and Michele enjoy researching the paranormal and have a love for old homes and buildings as
well as antiques. They both enjoy reading books that have to do with the paranormal as well as anything
