Another Great Paranormal Getaway in Cape May!

SOLD OUT! Stay tuned for the next event!

I have had a lot of requests for another Cape May event, so this March I will be returning to one of my favorite haunts, the John F. Craig House Bed & Breakfast.  For those who have joined me at this venue before, you know just how wonderful this little seaside cottage is and what a ghost magnet it is as well!

While the house does have a few ghosts of its own, the most fascinating thing here is the incredible draw this property has on the local paranormal crowd (read: ghosts). This energy can produce a most interesting séance experience. If there were a general store for ghosts, this would be a great location! I am not sure why ghosts get drawn to this old seaside cottage, but they do, and when one adds the right mix of living people and a medium like myself, the party really gets going.

Typically, when I conduct a séance I will sit at a table with a small group of people in one room of a house, to meditate and focus my energy. Once I have the energy focused, I will push it outward sending out a psychic line. I can (usually) control how far I project this energy. With most séances I am interested in communicating with ghosts at that particular venue, not beyond. When I send out a psychic line it acts as a calling card to the ghosts. It tells them I am a medium and wish to communicate with them. Once I send the initial greeting I will also send, in thought form, the reason why I am holding the séance. Every ghost will react differently. Some ghosts will sense my energy, but not hear my thoughts. Others will come forward and answer my call for communication. Of course, there are those ghosts who want nothing to do with a medium and may even tell me so in a thought or in an EVP recording.

If we die and remain earthbound as a ghost, we continue to be who we were in life. Our personalities survive the death of the body. As in life, there are nice people and nasty people. The same goes for death. People rarely change. Communicating with ghosts can be as difficult as communicating with the living and contacting the dead can be a challenging job. When I conduct a séance I usually do so in a quiet, dark room with low lighting. This setting is not intended to create drama or atmosphere, but instead to help this medium focus and communicate with these often difficult and elusive personalities. I have done  séances at many different venues around the world. When it comes to reeling in the ghosts, the John F. Craig House rarely disappoints!

My original intention at the Craig House events was to to contact former proprietor John F. Craig and his rather domineering, second wife Emma Camp Craig (pictured right.) However, I often found the two were not available to my calls. (I wonder if my calling her domineering has anything to do with the no show?) One explanation could be that John F. Craig also lived in Philadelphia and was quite the wealthy sugar merchant in his time.  He purchased the home in Cape May from a ruined, fellow Philadelphian banker in the early 1900s, and used it as a summer home after his first wife Susan passed away. While I think Craig was quite fond of the house I do not believe his ghost inhabits the cottage year around. There is a lot we do not know about ghosts. One thing I often notice is that they are transient. They come and they go. If they had two homes they may very well travel between them. Luckily, for us, John and Emma Craig do not have to be home for the house to be haunted.

Each time I have channeled a the John F. Craig House new ghosts have turned up. Whether they are previous (dead) neighbors or local (dead) passers by, ghosts seem to love stopping in at the Craig House. I would not call this a “Grand Central Station” for ghosts, but I would say the house has a knack for pulling ‘em in. When I conduct a séance at the John F. Craig House, anyone or anything can show up. It is truly paranormal theater and you are all invited to a front row seat!

I will be at the Craig House on Friday March 12th through Saturday March 14th.

On Friday night, after we all check into the Craig House, we will have a meet and greet at the Virginia Hotel at 8 PM. The lounge at the Virginia has a wonderful fireplace and bar for those who would like some spirits before a night with the Spirits. On Saturday afternoon, weather permitting, I will take you all on a little walk around the neighborhood and tell you about some haunts, old and new, that I have investigated over the years. Then on Saturday night, we will hold a séance in the parlor of the Craig House at 9 PM.

Of course when a medium is in the house you never know when your own dead relatives may pop up. I cannot guarantee everyone will have the experience, but if I sense any of your loved ones trying to get through, I will certainly let you know. I will also be available for conversation during tea and breakfast. I hope you can join me for another wonderful weekend at the Craig House. There are a limited number of rooms available, so please contact the Craig House and our wonderful hosts Barbara and Chip Masemore, to make your reservations.
