Now, our guest for this episode is none other than the lovely Lima Cloud, who was on episode 218, Human Design. Hi, Leah, how are you? You recently got married and published your very first book. I know what that's like. So many life changes back to back. Give us the scoop. Oh my goodness. Well, thank you so much for having me. I'm very excited to be back. So many of your listeners on our last episode have become students of mine and have booked readings with me and have just been in my community. So thank you to those who are listening again. Yes, I just got married in August was like everyone says the best of your life. But in the last year of my life, I was planning a wedding and I wrote a book. So so fun. We actually had to reschedule this episode. And we've had some issues, so it's so funny. We're like, we're here now and we're making it now. We're here. Yes, we're here. But this is the book and I got the book in the in between time. So I was like, this is divine timing. But I'm so excited. It's called the design of you and those of you who aren't watching it on video. It is so beautiful. It's got a really nice cover and it's got like little orbs that look like a human design chart and little gold strings connecting all the different or the energy centers in your chart. But I'm so excited for the book. It's intended to be a gifty type human design book where it's one of those books that you'll you know, gift people when it's there when they're in a human design or if they're into astrology. One of the things I love growing up was getting astrology books from all of my friends at my birthday because I was such an astrology girl, which I always joke is the gateway drug to human design. But angels are the gateway to all the other things spiritual too and can I come here and tuition I feel like. Yep. And so yes, this book is one of those that I hope that people want to give to their friends who love human design or just want to buy in general. But it's on pre order right now. We'll put the link down below. I'll send it to Nicole. And if you do pre order, you get three free gifts from me. The first is a PDF guide where you get to it's called the interactive PDF guide on you know, living your human design. And so we've got extra like bonus fun things in there. And then you also get a ticket to a free workshop I'm going to do in January on using human design in your real life. And then you get entered to enter free reading with me. So definitely pre order and get your fun gifts. And that's what I've been up to. Yay. And just in time too for the holidays, which is perfect. So I have not gotten mine yet. It has not arrived, but I'm looking forward to it. And when you are showing me before the the workbook aspect, that's really fun. So I feel like that gives you some hands on things, especially as we either receive it for the holidays and or afterwards and we're starting off as something in the new year. Yeah. So it actually is on pre order and it doesn't come out until December 30th. So just right after the holidays. So you can pre order it as a gift for the holidays. New Year's is a holiday. Exactly. Yes. The publisher, they really wanted to do the like new year new me moment. So I was like, yeah, let's do that. That's amazing. So yes, you'll have it in time right after the holidays. We can still gift it and just put a photo of it inside your, you know, box and wrap that up and say, this is coming. Wrap it in a box in a box in a box. Yes. Exactly. Exactly. It's coming soon. That is so cool. And again, congratulations. I could talk with you. And I want to talk offline for sure and hear more about the wedding. The pictures looked phenomenal. And then for me, yeah, just a couple of weeks ago, I got back from Egypt and to be honest, I'm still processing it. It was very intense. It was a lot in a good way. And so many beautiful experiences with the women who went on the trip. And also for me, I learned a lot about myself. And also not just other cultures, but anyway, it's just so much, there's, this is not that episode. So we will, you can hear all about Egypt in this summer episode, but I just wanted to share that. Leah, have you ever been? No, I've actually never been to Egypt, but it's on my list. It's one of those things that keeps showing up for me. So it's so funny. I have no idea that you went. So it's interesting that this is like showing up because I just saw a video of someone who was there. And I said to Xander, I'm like, I really want to go to Egypt. Like, my gosh, it just looks beautiful and was just reading a book about Egypt. And I'm reading a lot on the Kabbalah right now. And so I was kind of getting into some stuff related to Egypt. So anyway. Yeah. Well, maybe you can go on the, the second one that I put together. Oh, so you did a retreat. Yes. I did a pilgrimage. Oh. You're not allowed to say that there when you're there. So we had to call it a spiritual trip. But yes, we absolutely did. And it was 15 amazing women. And it was, like I said, it was intense, so it would be honored if it ends up working out. And it's divine timing, but oh my gosh. I'm going to keep my eyes peeled. I would love to meet you in the flesh because we're both Ohioans. I know. I know. I really also need to talk about that, too, because I saw the news that you gave me, too. So I want to chat. But okay. And then really quickly, too, the psychic club. So that was something that I launched. It is a membership for my community. It was something that was, is definitely an extension of the podcast. I learned about it very early on when I was creating the podcast. My guides, Nangel said, it's bigger than you. It's bigger than the podcast. There's community that you're going to be creating. And so I really have leapt into that for the last two years. They had been not so nicely. They were more kind of screaming at me. Leave your job. Leave your job. So I, too, have had some big life changes. Not necessarily the marriage and the book, but really leaving the old corporate identity of myself. And yeah, it's huge and taking that leap of faith. And so again, I too feel like it's been kind of at this whirlwind. If you look back and go, wait, what just happened? But so many amazing things for both of us. I'm excited about that. But even more for the stories that we have to share with the listeners. First we have a story submitted by Annabelle L with the subject on spirits everywhere. So Annabelle says, I began experiencing my gifts at a young age. My first encounter with my gift was when I was about three or four years old. I was in the car with my mom and we were passing a cemetery. It's important to note that I've always been a very observant person. When I looked out the window, I saw people in the cemetery and nothing to me was out of the ordinary. As we were driving, I didn't only see people standing. It was almost as if they were staring at me. I then saw more people. These people were hanging from trees. Now hanging from the trees was out of the norm for me. So I said to my mom, look at the people hanging in the trees. And she told me there were no people hanging in the trees. My next experience wouldn't come until later around eight years old. My mom had a new boyfriend and we all rented a house together. In that house, I would hear people whispering in the hallway. I once saw a little boy crawl across my bedroom floor. What really scared me was that I was lying in bed, turned facing the wall on the inside of the bed. And I felt my mom lift my covers and get into bed to lie with me, which was not unusual. I even felt the covers next to me moving up and down as if she was breathing. I turned over and was shocked to see that no one else was in bed with me. None of my experiences surprised my mom, my dad sees spirits as does his mother. Most of my life, my grandmother raised me because both of my parents were addicts. My grandmother and I had the closest relationship I have ever had. One night I was sleeping with her in bed and I woke up in the middle of the night feeling something was off. So I rolled over to get out of bed and stand up. I walked to the edge of the bed and looked at my grandma. Not only was I looking at my grandma, but I was looking at myself sleeping as well. This was so scary to me. I crawled back into bed and went back to sleep. But now, as an adult, I know now I was astral projecting. I was so scared of the paranormal as a kid. I kind of shut it out instead of letting it in. When I was 13, my grandmother was in the hospital for her liver failing. I remember the last time I had a conversation with her. I knew in my gut that her time was coming. I said to her, I need you to get better grandma. I need you. Her sweet response was, I will honey. And she did just not in the way I wanted. The next day, I was at school like normal in the phone ring in the classroom. My stomach sank before the words, and I, you're leaving early, left the teacher's mouth. I already knew what was happening. I walked out of class to see my mom. And as soon as I saw her, I felt all of her emotions and I broke down crying. No words were exchanged, but I knew what was happening. We drove to the hospital and spent her final moments with her. I remember stroking her arm to comfort her as they stopped the medication that was keeping her stable. When her flat line, I felt this crazy feeling like a huge amount of energy that started at my toes and gradually went up through my body and shot out through the top of my head. I thought that my emotions were getting the best of me until my mom said, did anyone else feel that? And I immediately knew I had felt my grandma's soul leave her body. I have many, many more stories that these are the few that really stand out to me. I'm now 21 years old with the help of this podcast, a practicing intuitive empath and I hope to be able to expand my gifts while learning how to use them. Oh my gosh. So beautiful. So young. I did not expect her to say she was so young. Yeah. Well, to me, it's really interesting that she's had all these experiences and that she also, like you said, so young and then also with her family scene spirits. And I too, when I was younger, I remember we went to visit my dad's dad, so my paternal grandfather and I didn't know why we were going to visit him. My sister had just been born. He hadn't seen my sister before and so we drove up. I don't remember where we lived at the time and we drove up to see them. I think it was probably Kentucky and we were driving from Kentucky to Ohio because that would make sense with the drive and my parents were holding my sister in the doorway and they wouldn't go in and they wouldn't let them hold her because of whatever he had being contagious. And I remember seeing him in similar to her to to this is that I was like, wait a second, I knew like in my heart, just I felt everyone's emotions and I kind of knew and I went to step forward. And when I got to the car afterwards, they were like, no, you weren't able to go and hug him. And he's sick and I knew that was the last time I was going to see him. So we tend to have those experiences and those moments, especially I feel like at a young age. So I'm really excited for her that she is continuing to practice that and to dive in and see how her intuition works for her because it can be so powerful, not just in those moments, but through life and everything. I wonder what the tree people were. Yeah, that's so interesting to me. And you know, I can relate to what Annabelle, you've experienced with the feeling the bed. I think the bed is a very common symbol for people when it comes to kind of really realizing that you have some psychic gifts. So I had an astral experience when I was and I think I was in high school. Yeah, where I had a similar thing where it's like I kind of came out of my body and saw myself sleeping and that took me down a rabbit hole on the internet. You know, this is probably 20, I don't know, 12 and that was terrifying for me. And then also like one of the things that happened to me right before I decided to expand my mediumship or psychic gifts was I would feel someone sitting at the edge of my bed. So that's a super common experience that people have and I'm glad that you're paying attention and not just brushing that off. It is a connection to something in between. Yes. Exactly. You had that experience have you astral projected since then? Only one other time. I've only done it once that I'm like consciously aware of. I know I've done it a million times, but you know, when we sleep in dream, but when when you did it the second time was obviously it was like after the first, were you practicing to do that or did it happen naturally without you trying? No, it was actually when I, in the same kind of vein of the thing of someone sitting on my bed, that was, it was around the same time of that, it was, I lived in the most haunted building in my hometown and I was starting to have on purpose. No, it was before all of this. But you knew or you didn't know, okay, it was, I did know. I did know. I did. Okay. People would say that and it's, that's a whole story, but I'll just to give you the, the quick of it. I was working my corporate job and I was on a Zoom call and some, I lived there a couple months and someone said to me, you live at the Oliver House, I'm from Toledo, Ohio. You can look it up, Oliver House, Toledo, Ohio. They have apartment substairs. They're beautiful by the way and my permit was amazing, but they had, my coworkers like have you had any strange experiences and I said no, but I, as a kid used to see like figures and things and that kind of left me my mom and grandmother intuitive as well. But so I was like, I feel like I'm the person this would happen to and I said they can be my friends if they want and boy, did I unlock something in that phrase right there? Right. It was permission. I get permission. Yeah. Yeah. So that evening was when I had the astral projection, like that whole moment where I, yeah, I was like in bed and like it happened, but it, like I woke up and I was in bed. You know, it was like one of those weird things where I got up and I turned, I walked out into the hallway, I turned this light on, looked over to my living room and there was a man sitting in our living room chair and I can like see his face so clearly and was so freaked out and ran back into my room and then all of a sudden I woke up and I was like in bed, but it was like so real, but that was actually the start of my journey because then they did this like haunted brew tour that they do every year with the medium. And so I went to the event and I was like, have you been to the apartment? And she's like, no, I've never been up there. They won't let me because people are afraid of that and I'm like, come to my apartment. So then she told me who it was and it was crazy. And I, but between that time I started having all these experiences where someone was on my bed and so that was the beginning of my journey actually. But the first time in high school I just didn't know what was going on. I was like, I was out of my body, I could feel my body coming out of it, like my soul ripping out of my body and like was looking at myself. And then all of a sudden I was back, it was like the craziest thing. Gosh, I was either 9 or 10 when I heard about astral projection and I practiced every night for a long time as I was going to sleep. And I could get to the point where I could feel, no, everybody's different when they experience it. But where my bed was getting really hard, kind of almost like a fear laying on the floor. And I remember that feeling when I was really, really young. And so I knew that it was the separation, but I would always fall asleep. And so one night I had this nightmare in the nightmare. I realized very clearly that it was a nightmare and I didn't want to be in that dream. And so I said, I don't want to be here. And when I did that, it was almost like I was being pulled back to my body like whiplash. And I remember looking down and I saw my body and then and I was going through the roof. And I could see the layers of the house and the floor as I'm going through it. It was so bizarre. And then I'm in my body and I wake up, but it was a dream within a dream. And it took me about three dreams. It was like layered like an onion kind of. And so every one I woke up in, it was scary me more like, am I really awake this time or am I asleep again? So it's taken me quite a while to crack that. But I did want to say one other thing for Annabelle. I think it's such a gift that when your grandmother left, that not only did you feel her giving you that energetic exchange, but also your mom. And that is one of the things I describe as I call it a heart hug from the other side. Sometimes it may not be like our full body, but it usually often manifests within our heart and it emanates out. And as we think when we hug someone and we can kind of feel that connection when our heart is to their heart, that is one of many ways that our loved ones will give us that, you know, hug from the other side. So what a beautiful experience. And thank you for listening and sharing that with us. Oh, and I also wanted to say thanks for sharing your intuitive abilities, Leah, because I was saying to her right before we hit record that she's going to get to practice them a little bit here and tune in and share what she's seen. Leah was for as far as the tree people on the same little stump. They may have been elementals is what I just heard in my head. So I'm wondering like how she saw them and everything. So if you can, if you remember and you want to write back in, share a little bit more, but I'm getting that it was something to do with nature. Our next story was submitted by Faustina K with the subject, Honid House Relocation. I have been spiritually connected for as long as I can remember. I was comfortable with my ability to sense energy and had experienced quite a few by the time I was 20. This story is about when we moved into a home with my then boyfriend now husband. I knew immediately that we had a ghost from the first time we saw the place. He lingered by the window upstairs and when we moved in, it was easily confirmed. We had been there a few days and my boyfriend had to go to work. So I decided that while I was home, I would paint the kitchen. That's a big task. I'm just going to decide to paint the kitchen. As I started to paint and I remember distinctly that I was facing the wall, I was a painting and I said out loud, I know you are behind me. So if you have something to say, say it or move on, that's also very bold. There was no reply, but he stood there. So I said again, you will have to speak up because I can't hear you. And if you don't say what you have to say, you will have to move on. You won't be able to stay. Again, it was quiet for a few moments. So I turned around and looked in the direction I sensed him to be and said, "Do you want to tell me your name?" Edward came through clearly, very well Edward, where do you live? And I was shown the Victorian house that was our neighbor. We were separated by about 150 feet from that property and there was a small orchid nursery between us. Oh, so you're from the Victorian house? Are you a family member? Yes, son. So we continued our little chat while I painted and I finally asked, "Why are you here in this house?" And he showed me a barn and I could smell the hay. I could see him standing upstairs in the hay loft with the little hay window behind him. Well, that didn't make much sense to me because the barn was behind the Victorian farmhouse and so I thought, maybe he likes the land because it was their farm or something like that. So the next day I went to the local library and looked up the farm and sure enough, it listed the children and there was one son named Edward. The farm had been established around 1890. So back to Edward, he and I made a deal. He could stay as long as there was no funny business, no scaring and no other energies could come in. I had strict boundaries even at 20 for the paranormal and I'm guessing he agreed because it was peaceful. He played with our dogs because we would see them following him upstairs and they would be dancing around and many times it looked like they were being told to sit because their eyes would follow him if he left the room. We had a friend over and his girlfriend was nursing and she asked if she could use my room. And then when she came down, she said, I don't mean to startle you but there's a man in your room. I asked him to leave and he went into the closet. Oh, and the barn, I was chatting with my landlord one day and he was telling me about how annoying the people in the Victorian house were and says, I should have never sold them the barn. Curious, right? So I say, what do you mean? Did you own the barn and not the house? He said, when I bought this part of the property, the barn stood where your house is now. So I sold it to them and they had it moved to where it is now behind the house. Oh, my goodness, so interesting. I relate to both of these. I don't know if this is on purpose or what, but yeah, this is such an interesting story. And I love that fastina, such a beautiful name that you were afraid and you were just like, who are you? What do you want? What can I help you? And I love that you followed that and you let that be because, and I don't know how you feel Nicole, but for me, I feel like oftentimes spirits just want to be heard and they want to be acknowledged. And so that's why they bug us. And so that was a really beautiful moment of them saying, hey, I've been, but you guys are on my barn. This is where I used to be. And so how interesting is that? Yeah. I have a t-shirt in my merch that is Ghosts where people too, because I think it's because I think it's important to remember that they were living once and if they're not on the other side and they're still here in this human realm, just in a different form, we need to remember that. And they're not something to necessarily be feared because they're in a different form. And what I find really cool about this story too, there were several things that were happening from my perspective regarding her intuition, one is that that is really what psychic energy or the ability to psychically read energy is is when you kind of know that there's a presence or you feel it. So you, you know, it's literally, to me, as I've experienced it, like if a human were standing in the room, but you can't see them necessarily, but you can feel their presence. And so I think that that's probably what she was getting when I moved into my current house, which is in that it was built in 1800s. The very first thing when I walked in was I felt as if I was being welcomed into the house, but it was more like a watchful welcome, kind of this high we're present, but we're respectfully standing by the wayside. And it didn't scare me, but I knew that there was energy in the house. And so I think for her, the same thing that her walking in, sensing that and then even feeling him kind of watching, and that he's, I would say lonely, but he wanted that, like you said, that acknowledgement. And then she doesn't explain necessarily how she heard, like if she heard the voice outside of her head, but I feel like what probably happened because my guides and angels are showing me this that when she was tuning in, it was almost as if a telepathic connection where she's either hearing the thoughts auditorially or she knew about it and or a combination of what that was. And I love that she got that validation about the barn, but she had so many of the clairs. I mean, she could smell the hay, she could sense the presence. She had a dialogue back and forth, and that she set this firm and energetic boundaries. So that's exactly what I say. It's not anything to be feared when you're really straightforward, whether whatever being it is, but especially with ghosts or people that are around, you can say what you want your experience to be, and they need to listen to you. So anyway, I love the story. Me too. And if you have anything else to add. The only thing I was going to add is so my spirit guy in his name is Toby, because there was a couple of barns behind the house that I grew up in and I have come to learn. He's who has always been with me. I used to see him as a kid and the medium who came into my apartment to help me figure out what was going on. She's like, oh, you have a spirit guy named Toby's been with you since you were a kid. You remind him of his daughter and he attached to you at a young age. And I said, yeah, he's a very kind spirit, very amicable. I don't feel or I felt him before. And it's funny, because now I've had so many readings with different people and they've all, it's always Toby, like he's there. And so I relate to the barn aspect of what you were saying. So maybe he ends up being your spirit guy at some point, maybe he attaches to you in a good way, because you helped him. All right, so we're going to move on to the next two stories, Leah. So the next one came in from a voicemail or the next two did. The first one is from Carrie in Key West, Florida, with the subject of high school hauntings. Hello, my name is Kari, and I current reverting Key West, Florida, but I grew up in a small town in Minnesota. Though the story I wanted to tell today or stories actually takes place in that small town in Minnesota when I was younger. So growing up in that town, it was always kind of a well-known, but not very often talked openly about story, where in, I think it was like 1970 or definitely in the 70s, the teacher at the school actually strangled a student with his necktie. And I guess the student actually kind of was a bully towards this teacher and the teacher just snapped and took him in a back room and ended up carrying him in the school. So it was always kind of like jokes that, you know, the school was haunted and there was a ghost there. So when I was young, we had in the summertime, there was like this traveling theater, which was called Prairie Fire Theater, so they would come for like a week in the summer and, you know, kids elementary aged to cry out for this play and it was just like a week long thing and you put on a play at the end of the week. So my friend and I, we weren't in whatever particular scene was being rehearsed. So we were just hanging out behind the stage, everything kind of weird thing happening all the time, but this specific instance was like an undeniable thing. We were facing this wall that had a window and there was a curtain behind the window so you could hear a flexion in it. We were just kind of looking in that direction and all of a sudden I see this person behind me and he's walking straight up, like looking straight ahead and walking very slowly behind, directly behind me, you know, I see him clear as day in the reflection. I turn around and there's nobody there. There's no one, nowhere, anybody could have escaped to, like we're just in this hallway, there's nowhere anybody could have gone. So I'm like, that's weird and I look at my friend and he, her jaw is like on the floor and I was just like, do you see that? And he's like, yes, and he just freaked out and ran away. To this day, I, because he saw the same thing, I know that I wasn't just seeing things and just seeing like the horror in her face, I knew that it wasn't just me. So I always wondered, like, what if the kid who was murdered, but yeah, it was really creepy, like just tearing straight ahead, walking really slowly behind us, like not looking at us at all. It was really weird. And even for years after that, I could not tell the story without my throat just like closing up, like I could even get the word out. So yeah, that's the first story. And then fast forward to when I was in high school, I was in the school band and we had been gone for a few trip that day. So by the time we got back to the school, it was like 10 p.m., so it was dark, all the hallway heard dark. My friend and I, who was also in the band, we did football, yes. So every Thursday night, or every Friday morning before a game, we would typically put like different signs that we decorated on all the football players and coaches, lockers and write classrooms. So we got there Thursday night, we're like, oh, let's just put up the signs now. And we're already here. So I started putting tape on the lockers and she had the signs in her cars. So she'd like, oh, go grab them. You just start like putting the tape up. Little did I know the band teacher wouldn't let her come back in the school. We didn't have cell phone call at the time. So I, he had no way of getting hold of me to tell me that she couldn't come back in. So I'm just, you know, going along down the hall, like putting the tape up. And then obviously, you know, the like for office kind of creepy, you can see by like the light outside, I could still see well enough to put the tape up on the lockers. I walked by a classroom and the phone in the classroom started ringing. I didn't think anything of really at first, but I mean, thinking about it after the fact in order to get through to a classroom phone, you have to call the office. You have to go all the, you know, correct extension and then you get put through to the classroom. The phone rings. I walked down the hall and there was a football coach's room that I was putting tape up on. And right when I get outside of that room, that phone started ringing. I go across the hall to where the head coach's classroom was. When I get outside that door, that phone started ringing. And then I go down the hall, again, like the opposite side of the school, basically. And I go in front of another classroom and it's way back in the way that corner of the school. So pretty dark. And that phone started ringing. And by that time I was like, okay, this is not normal. I kind of like started freaking out and ran into luckily another kid who was still there. There's just no way that that was like natural you happening. Like it was only the classrooms that I was directly in son of that the phone was ringing. So I always was like, so here it's like, what if I had been able to get in and through the phone, what would have happened? So let's talk about that first. What are your thoughts about that? Well, so interesting. I thought it was going to be scarier than it was, but I guess I'm not scared of this stuff. Or just your high school haunting, but I mean such an interesting story. And you know, like I said earlier, too, all of these moments are moments to tune in. And so I'm so happy that Kari found this podcast and has been able to submit this because feeling that energy walking behind you and like having seen that and then also having someone else validate the experience, it isn't something that's all in your head. Like that did happen. And so we can't always see what we can feel things and sometimes we can see things, but a lot of times when it comes to this work, it's so inexplainable. And we have to trust our intuition and trust these little moments that are happening. And you know, going back to the clairs that we talked about earlier is like, so interesting feeling the throat close up. You know, a lot of people do have that feeling in their body of, this is where I'm feeling it, you know, like a lot of times mediums can feel how someone died and they'll say, oh my gosh, I feel a pain in my stomach or, you know, this and that. And you don't always know what it is, but it is related to oftentimes the way that someone ended up, you know, leaving this plane. So very, very interesting experience. And I'm excited to hear the next one too. Yeah. Yeah. No, I was going to say that not just the throat chakra area and that voice, but them giving the person who had passed and/or transitioned over giving them that experience too. And if you just quit tip if you ever, because she said I couldn't even think about it or talk about it without my throat closing up, you can sever that energetic connection and ask for whatever energy is associated with you or entwined with yours to have that connection lovingly severed. And you know, consider that too, because we were talking about even if there's a souls who have crossed over and they're attached to you or they're around in your energy. There are some that may be like yourself where you want to have that continuing and they're helping to guide you and they kind of become that family member or that friend. If so to speak in your life here now and then others where maybe they're reaching out for that helper that support and like you said earlier, they want to be heard and/or acknowledged. And so it's not always necessarily a nefarious thing as much as they're crying out. So if you are experiencing something asking for that energy to be severed or disconnected and/or sending that person, that love and light, you don't necessarily have to help them move on. You can always ask for guides and angels to help them if that's needed. But I feel like especially when there's something really heavy that happens in a place, it also can be an imprint, an energetic imprint where there's something that traumatic, something traumatic that has occurred, that energy, that frequency is still kind of embedded almost like a fingerprint in that place. So it doesn't always even necessarily have to be that the soul is trapped. It can be, you know, a combination of many, many things. So yes, let's listen to the second one. Ah, Kari, well, I definitely we answered your last question, which I feel was definitely, if not the energy, or sorry, the soul of the person who had so, you know, been brutally murdered, but also an energetic imprint. But when it comes to the phone's ringing, I was like, where's this going? Where's this going? And then I realized as she was moving through my skull, it kept ringing. And so spirits are known to mess with electronics, try and get our attention through the normal means. I'm curious as if she had actually picked up the phone, what would have happened, would she have heard a voice, would she have heard something, or were they just trying to get her attention issues moving on? And I know for sure they were trying to get her attention, but what are your thoughts, Leah? I thought the exact same thing. That was my favorite part about the story, is just the phone. I love when technology becomes a medium for spirits to connect with us. I think it's so interesting. And yeah, I wondered the same thing, like, I wish you picked up the phone. I just wanted to know what was, you know, on the other end and I had, yeah, and what you said to about what it takes to even get to the phone to ring, that's where, that's what really was interesting to me too, is like, okay, there's all these steps you have to call this office and then, you know, get connected that way and so, so we're equal. Yeah. Now, and it also takes a lot of energy from what I understand for spirits to manifest and be able to impact the literal physical reality of our bodies and, or electronics and everything else, it can take a lot of energy. So now this is a voice mail from Natalie Endenver with the subject, a guardian dog tale. My favorite pets. Hello, my name's Natalie and I live in Denver, Colorado. A few years ago, I had my trusty dog, German Shepherd Elsa with me and my husband was stationed in Afghanistan so he was gone and she'd never had any odd behavior before, but one night we were laying in the living room and she stopped in her tracks and looked up at the ceiling and all of her hair stood up and she looked intently and started growling and I immediately looked up. I didn't see anything, but I clearly felt she saw something and was not happy about it. I told her it was okay, tried to brush it off saying, I see it, baby girl, but I don't, I don't know what it is and she calmly started to walk away and immediately stopped in her tracks again, turned around, looked up in the corner of the ceiling of the living room. All her hair stood up and she started growling again and would not take her eyes off the corner of the ceiling. I again looked up there, now freaked out, I still can't see anything and I said, okay, that's enough. Let's go into another room because I don't know what it is and I can't see anything. So fast forward a couple weeks later, we were in the bedroom and she always laid at the foot of my bed and these decorative little things on the side of my curtains were wood and iron, but they've never moved before and they never made a noise ever and I've always had the windows open. This night I didn't have the windows open and at 3am very loudly and intently they started swinging. I was so scared to open my eyes, I clenched them shut and finally when it got quiet after maybe 20 or 30 seconds, I got the courage up to look and they were as still as normal. I looked down at her, she looked at me, we looked back at the curtain and that was it, nothing happened, we were too scared to even move out of bed. So fast forward a few months later, I was asleep in bed 3am and all I heard was an immediate struggle with Elsa and something at the foot of the bedroom door. Glass was breaking, struggling, no barking, just struggling. I screamed like I've never had a scream before and I jumped up. Elsa was like a split second, what do I do? And in that moment she came back to me Elsa and licked my hand as if to say it's okay mom, I took care of it. I was shaking, I went after a minute, saw that I had left the garage door open and I don't know what it was or who it was. But if I wouldn't have had her there that night I don't know what would have happened. So not too soon after that, I decided to do a cleansing, I did some candles, some prayers, some salt, some sage and I've never had any other issues. But I've always wondered what that was. But thank you, appreciate it and keep up everything you're doing. You guys are wonderful. Alright, Leah, so this is your opportunity to tune in and use your medium ship abilities. Wow, well, I love pets and I love dogs and I love the joint connection between her dog and they're almost like a team, you know, I got you, I got it mom, don't worry. I firmly believe that what your dog, the way that your dog licked you and the way that she fell in that moment was true, that her dog did protect her from something and that her dog is a part of her soul family and that her dog is a deep connection to her and will always be, you know, beyond the dog's life. And who knows what that that energy is. Part of me is feeling like it was a bad energy that came through and especially with the glass breaking, I feel that experience is quite traumatic. I would say a there's no good in bad spirits, I guess, but I would say a benevolent spirit probably wouldn't do that. So I would trust that. Yeah, I, the first instance for sure that her dog was growling and they were looking up and seeing that, I know she's questioning with the garage and everything, was it maybe an animal or a person and or, you know, did the dog scare it off, but as I was tuning the nose, getting what you were and that it was definitely something from something not physical, not a physical presence, whether it was animal or human, as far as alive. I should say that rather. And the other thing I will say is that it wasn't until I moved into my house now. So my dog Lucy, she was a puppy when I got her, she was a little bit older as a puppy and then she never grow up until I moved into this house. And she at first I thought, well, maybe it's because she's getting older or because she's hearing the sounds of an older home, you know, and there's things that go bump in the night and it's not always necessarily a ghost, what have you. But anyway, I talk about this at length with an episode that I did with Sherees Williams and where she tunes into my house and everything and there are, yes, spirits and ghosts, but then there was also an intruder at one point. And so dogs and cats too will protect us, not just from people and or the very real things out there that are in the here and now, but also energies. And when an animal looks in a certain direction and or especially growls or hisses, that's something to pay attention because they know when it's not necessarily something good. That is, and I know you said there's not really good or bad, but yes. So thank you for sharing that anatomy. And I would say that it was a really, really good Elsa. I love that name too. Good duck, good Elsa. All right. So now our final story here is the voice milk from Amber and North Carolina with the subject wake up. Hey, Nicole, this is Amber from North Carolina. So this takes place in Salt Lake City about 14 years ago. I was staying with my friends, Scott, I was in town for a convention. Scott has a two story home and in the basement was where I was going to sleep. From there were his daughters to bedrooms. There's a recording studio and then also a room, kind of like a family room where they watch TV and all that. And I was going to sleep on the couch. Well, I'm not a big fan of basements to begin with. I grew up in a house that I never, ever, ever felt comfortable in our basement. So I guess the feeling just kind of carries on. But when we decided to go to sleep, I was I was cuddled in on the couch and Scott was upstairs in his room. And I don't know what time it was, but somewhere in the middle of the night, I was kind of woken up very not suddenly or anything like that, but I heard footsteps. So the floor is carpeted. So if you can imagine the sound of like somebody padding across the carpeted floor. And I heard footsteps come from the bottom of the stairs, which I was facing and I had my back to the cushions on the couch. And I didn't look at anything because it didn't seem right. I knew it wasn't a human. It just didn't feel like a human energy, like a human presence. And once they got up to the couch, like I, they stopped, the footprint, the footsteps stopped. Every, every hair on my body just frickled. And that feeling when you know something else is in the room, where your whole body just does this weird, nervous, anxious, something's here, sensation. And so I felt that. And then I heard wake up, follow me, and it was like my heart stopped for a second. Did not open my eyes, but I said mentally, nope, and I just turned around and I faced the back of the couch. I pulled my covers up closer to me and I was just like, I don't know what's going on. So honestly, I don't remember what happened after that. I didn't hear any footsteps walk away. I think I just laid there kind of an astonishment for a couple of minutes and then maybe fell asleep. But the next morning, I woke up and I went upstairs to talk to Scott. And I asked him, I said, hey, do your daughters, like, do they ever say anything to you about the basement, like that it feels wacky and his face just went white. And he goes, yes, why? And I told him what happened. Now here's the kicker, the voice of whatever this was was his voice. So I don't know what that was all about. And I knew that it was not him. He would never come down and do that to me, A, and B, I just knew that there was nothing physical standing in front of me, but I could feel a presence. So what would have happened if I did decide to wake up and follow whatever it was? I don't know and I'm kind of glad I didn't wake up and figure it out. But yeah, so that's my story. Thank you so much, and happy holidays. Wow, wow, wow. So several things here, well, first of all, full circle back to our other story about feeling something in the bed and/or also hearing voices. I was getting in my mind's eye that she heard it outside of her head. So it wasn't like one of those telepathic things that she was hearing more of that inner dialogue and that clear audience, it was clear audience outside. But also always, always, always, trust your gut. So in this instance, she knew it didn't feel necessarily human. She felt something different, that psychic energy reading that ability. And then she also was like, nope, I'm not doing that. So even though she didn't speak it out loud, she said it to herself and she knew even though it was in her friend's voice that it wasn't him. So anyway, that's all that I was getting. I don't know what you pick up on. This one was tough for me. When she said she heard the voice, I was thinking it was a spirit. And then she said it felt like it wasn't even something from here. I can't remember how she worded it, but it was like something different. And then the weird part is the voice was the Scott guy, like the friend. And that doesn't sit great with me. I don't love that feeling. Yeah, they're like called tricksters. They mimic or they take on the voice or aspects and characteristics of a person. Yeah. Because it wanted you to trust it. It wanted to lead you somewhere and it wanted you to feel comfortable where it would have led her. I don't know. I feel like the instincts of saying, you know, I didn't want to follow it, and I'm glad I didn't. Yeah. I would trust that too. Blank that out of push that out of my head and follow me or whatever. I've been like, yep, nope, yep, nope. We're good. I'm good on this. I'm going to stay right here. And yeah, it's, I don't know, I was trying to tune into what the spirit was. And like the last one, I don't get a, I don't get a good vibe from it. I wonder what, like, could it be extra terrestrial? I don't know. Could it be someone connected to Scott? Could it be someone stuck in the home or the basement? There are also doppelgangers. But when I tune in, I feel I'm hearing in my head trickster spirit and that it was taking on the, because his girls also, his face went white. And so his girls, his children had already been bringing it up, so they didn't feel good either. If you, again, trust your gut. If you're not feeling necessarily good with the vibe or the energy and then it's like mirroring or masking something else, and then you're saying, you know, it's not like it's a guardian angel or a loved one or even her friend with the voice that said, you know, hey, follow me or whatever the exact verbiage was. It's like, that is all of your spidey senses are saying, no, it's not something that's meant to help you or guide you in a loving way. God universe source are angels are loved ones on the other side. They're going to give us the warm and fuzzies, not the exact opposite, you know, yes, there are times where when our intuition kicks in, that can be a little bit jarring or jolting because we're not used to it necessarily. Maybe that's different and uncomfortable. But for the most part, once we think back and or reflect or we're in the moment, there's still sense of urgency of either protection or love or guidance. And this definitely didn't feel that a, yeah, I feel like I keep hearing trickster spirit. So well, that kind of wraps up our episode.
