Speaker 2 (00:42):
And thank you for joining me tonight. As you can see,
I'm not in my normal space. I am traveling with
my son. He is playing baseball right now in the
frigid cold, and I get to be lucky and warm
here with you guys, So thank you for joining me.
All right, So tonight, here's the song. Ready. The song
(01:06):
is Feeling Unknown. You're all alone, flesh and bone by
the telephone. Pick up the receiver and I'll make you
a believer. Now, who do you think saying that song?
I'll tell you when we come back from the first break.
(01:27):
All right, But so tonight's topic, we're going to be
talking about mediumship. Well, anyways, my take on mediumship. Right again,
We're going to journey back because of everything that's happened
in the last week with my friend passing away, you know,
(01:47):
and it being a gift for me to be able
to be there to see him transition and help him
through that process, and help my other childhood friends figure out,
you know, like to calm down and you know, help
them see that Richard actually is still with us here,
like even though he's flesh and bone, right, it's he's
(02:09):
not here physically, but he's still with us spiritually. So
I help them see unbelieve that anything was possible. Now,
all these all of my childhood friends, they've only kind
of known that I could do this for maybe maybe
(02:30):
ten years maybe, right. I never this having my own
podcast and talking about spirits and how they talk to
me is very freeing because I would keep it to myself.
I would never tell many people about what I can do,
because you know, it's I was always a little kind
(02:52):
of quirky, right, and so you bring this into the mix,
and then it's like whoa, Okay, stay all right. So
we're in a journey through how everything kind of unfolded
for me and how mediumship it just start just happened. Okay.
(03:13):
So when I was a child, we came to Canada, right,
and it's all foreign land apparently, and it's really well,
it was cold, which you know I love. I don't
love the cold, but I don't like being hot. But
(03:37):
I also don't like doing too cold anyways, so we're
going so I digress. Anyways, there's so many different things.
This is a new right, and here in Canada there's
you know, it's not that old per se, right, like
(03:57):
cities and building aren't that old. But I just remember
there's so many things that always would go bump in
the night, and the darkness would always scare me, and
every it was funny because my parents and then my
(04:18):
grandparents are like, why are you running? Are there ghosts here? Right?
And at the time I was like, well, actually, yes,
yes there are, right, And for me, I didn't like you.
If I were to have said yes there were, that
would be me speaking back to my parents or my grandfather,
(04:40):
which was an absolute no no, right, you don't talk
back to them, right, And so it was like yeah,
and then you ran away and then they couldn't catch
you when you were totally fine. Right. But the only
time I could sit and b was when spirit would
(05:04):
make me have a headache, right, And it was such
a bad headache. I had a migraine, and these migraines
would make me have to be in the basement in
the darkest place that I would never ever go when
I you know, if I didn't have these headaches, and
(05:26):
it was the coldest and I had to lay there
and I had to keep my eyes open because that
was the only way that these headaches would start to
go away. Now, when the headaches started to go away,
it was I got to see all these different like
spirits common they I don't know if they would talk
(05:48):
or they would swirl, right, But so now as an adult,
I kind of go, oh, I get it. They were
trying to talk to me. So I don't know who
or who they belonged to, but I do know as
a child, there were there was quite a few deaths around, right,
And I didn't know, if you know, I was a kid,
(06:12):
I didn't know. All I wanted to do is play outside,
have a great time. But I also, you know, had
these things talk to me, and I would know if
I would be in danger or if I would you know,
it was okay to do that, right, like walk down
the alley way to school for the school dance or
(06:33):
walk home from it. And you know, most people would say, no,
why are you walking through the alley? But I would
because I felt a sense of peace there. And then
as I did it, the moonlight would it would almost
light the whole path, and so that I would get
home and it would be all right, right. So mediumship
(06:55):
for me is listening to spirit and sometimes I hear
them like they're sitting right here talking to me. But
most of the times they're talking to me in pictures.
Like it's like a real right, So it's like a
movie flick, right, like it kind of goes by, or
(07:16):
it's in a picture. It's really like playing charades with
a body of light, and they're trying to get your attention.
And it depends how strong they are as well, right,
and how strong their connection is with the people that
are wanting the message right. So a lot of times
(07:39):
it's just weird that way. Where how like the one
lady came to me and she wanted to talk to
her dad, and so he automatically showed me a picture
of him and he was, you know, pretty DApp worries
he liked to dress up right, and which he showed
(08:03):
me the picture of him and it was a brown suit,
and she well, actually he highlighted his jacket and his pants, right,
So for me that would be like, okay, you want
me to pay attention to your outfit. So then and
(08:24):
then I could see him smiling more. So then I
was like, okay, so your dad liked to dress up.
He had a favorite suit and it was brown and
he wore them in almost all the pictures that were
taken with him in it is that correct? And then
(08:44):
she would look at me and she would be like, yes,
how did you know that? Again, he highlighted what he
looked like, right, so I could see what he looked like,
what kind of shirt he wore. But the outline of
his jacket and his pants were illuminated, right, So if
(09:05):
you were to look, you know, when you kind of
look past something, you start to see like an outline
right around and it's kind of like a white like
a shimmery, and that's what it would do, and it
would it's almost like a neon light for me, because
then it's like super super bright and then it just
(09:27):
shows you and it's just wow. Right, And then there's
sometimes sometimes I have no idea what they're trying to say,
because I either have never had that experience, right, or
I haven't heard of what they were trying to talk about,
and so it gives it a little it's a little
(09:49):
bit harder to understand. And sometimes oddly, if they weren't
good in English, right, it's it's a different different as well, right,
because they're still same on the other side as they
were here. That's how they portray themselves. Right. Also, if
(10:14):
they were spiritual or if they were devote Catholic, say, right,
so my group of friends and me, we all grew
up Catholic, right, and Catholic was you know everything, And
so when we talk about spirits, right, you can talk
about angels, the angels, no problem, right, Like there's right,
(10:37):
and then there's the saint Saint Christopher to keep you safe.
There's archangel Michael, and there's Gabriel, right, because Gabriel was
I believe, the angel that came to present Jesus when
Jesus was born. Right, So then we all those no problem. Right,
It's all good. But if you talk about any sort
(10:58):
of other spirits, it's like, well, I'm not you know,
it's a bit almost like the speak of the devil. Right.
So I had someone common They're like, do you see
my parents right? And right away I'm like, yeah, I can, Yeah,
I can see them. And she's like, well, are they together?
(11:20):
And I'm like, yeah, they are, right. Your dad wants
to is you know, doing a little more talking, he said,
But your mom is there, and she's kind of looking
at me like suspicious, right, kind of suspicious, and she's
kind of hovering behind her husband. And then I'm just like, oh,
(11:41):
your mom was very Christian, right, and she's not a huge,
like not really a believer of this, and so she
is questioning what's going on right and if it can
actually happen, right, And so the more I talked to
(12:02):
the more she loosened up. But again, I know you're
gonna say, well, isn't the other side is freeing? Yes
it is. But when people and when spirits come to
talk to us, right, they still present themselves as they
would be here on earth, right, Because if they presented
(12:24):
themselves like the regular free spirit that they were, and
all these things, their personalities and all the idiosyncrasies that
we know of them would be completely different than what
we know and loved in our own heart. Right. So
(12:48):
then when I would talk to them or another medium
would talk to them, it would be completely different and
they would go no that you would go, no, that's
I don't know you're talking about. That's definitely not my relative, right,
Like I can't no, right, And so yes, they're free
(13:14):
on the other side and everything is different. There is
no judgments on the other side. But when they come
to speak to you as the loved one, they come
back exactly how you remember them, right, because we we
are looking for those signs. We are wanting to know
(13:38):
how they are. Right. And so when people come to
a medium, they're like, I didn't realize there was different
types of mediums before, right, Like I go Clairbryant medium,
psychic medium, and then I saw someone's like, well, I'm
(13:59):
an evident medium, and I was like, oh, well, what's
that right? But okay, so an evidential medium apparently is
someone that gives you facts, facts of how, how or
when not when technically they passed away, but what they
(14:20):
passed away of different things that happened during their time
of passing that no one would ever know, right, And
I was like, oh, okay, well that makes sense, I
do that, right, So it's it's really quite. I just
(14:43):
you know, maybe it's a different way of how people
differentiate from other people. But I'm going to tell you
every medium we do we're the same, but we're not right.
We all have different highlight lights for ourselves and which
(15:03):
make us stand out differently from someone else. And so
this is how you would choose when you go to
a medium. Choose what you know if they feel right
to you, right, if in your heart it feels okay, right,
like they make you feel comfortable. Right. Also, when you
(15:29):
get a reading from someone, say you know, it's not
necessarily a like a mediumship reading or well either way, right,
like a reading or a mediumship reading. If something doesn't
sit with you, what you do is you let that
(15:52):
information go, right, don't allow it to sink here within
yourself in your heart, because you know, we are human
and we can get the information incorrect, right, and the
information can sometimes be misunderstood right, or it hasn't happened yet.
(16:18):
And so we've told you something that hasn't happened yet.
And if you hang off that word and you're like, no,
absolutely not, that's not right, I don't like it anything
like that, you actually are cutting off or diminishing the
line of communication between me as the medium and your
(16:44):
loved one that's trying to come through and that is
talking right, and so it cuts that, you know, communication
a little bit harder, like it makes it a bit
more difficult. Also, if you hang on something that doesn't
make sense to you and you let it faster, then
(17:05):
it just there creates frustration and anger which no longer
really like you shouldn't. It doesn't matter, right if it
doesn't fit. What I do is like you know what,
because I have spiritual readers for me. If it doesn't fit,
I just go take it, chuck it right over the
(17:27):
right shoulder, just like if you spill salt right someone
says you pick it up and you throw salt over
your shoulder. That's how you do it. And anyways, we
will be back after two minutes. Given some love and
some appreciation to our sponsors. See you in two minutes.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Welcome back here watching journey with John. All right, so
have you figured out the song the song is from? Oh?
I didn't write the name of the song, but it's
Personal Jesus by depeche Mode. All right. And for those
(20:13):
of you wondering how I come up with these songs,
Spirit gives them to me because I'm like, okay, this
is my topic. What I like to I love songs,
So what songs should I choose? And sometimes I have
one in mind and sometimes they'll be like, okay, yeah,
you could use that one, but no, this one, this
one just started playing in my head and I'm like, okay, great, done,
(20:36):
let's do it. All right, So back to mediumship mediumship?
All right. So the reason I think they Spirit chose
that song because it said flesh and Bone by the telephone.
Pick up the receiver and I'll make you a believer.
All right, So here is a really cool story. When
(21:00):
I was younger and my grandma passed away, I was
with my uncle and I was at his house. And
I'm not sure if I told this story before, but
I for some reason, I feel like I have. But anyways,
the phone rang and it was the old phones with
you know, the rotary so you hated anyone that had
(21:23):
any eights or nines or zeros in their phone numbers
because it would take too long to dial. So anyways,
I picked up the receiver just like this sign said,
and all I could hear was static. But I heard
a faint voice in the very back, and I was like, hello, hello, right,
(21:44):
and I could hear my grandma talk to me, and
it was so special. It was I was like, and
Grandma is not Grandma? Is Lola? Right? So I would
be like Lola And I was talking to her and
my uncle just freaked out and said, who are you
talking to me? And grabbed the phone and he started
(22:04):
listening and he could hear her and he was just like,
whoa okay, and he goes, I don't like, I don't
know who this is, and so he hung up the phone.
But to me, I knew that was her right, because
she had done so many different things when she passed away.
For me, first off, I knew I had found her.
(22:26):
She was a diabetic and she went into like into
a diabetic kind of convulsions or whatever. And we shared
a bedroom, so when I went to bed, I saw
her convulsion rate, and so as soon as I saw
her doing that, I was what ten at the time,
I just knew that was the last time I was
(22:49):
going to see her. I wasn't going to see her again, right,
And from that time that moment to the time we
were boarding an airplane with her her body, I don't
remember any of the events in between. I don't remember
the EMS coming to the house taking her away, like,
(23:12):
I don't remember any of that stuff. So and I
don't know if it was because my brain, you know,
it doesn't allow traumatic events or whichever. But I do
remember when we were on the airplane and I was
sitting beside the window and it happened to be the
same side as the cargo side, which is you know again,
(23:33):
was that coincidence, I don't know, But I did see
her casket get loaded into the airplane, so I knew
she was with me. So that's number one. We get there.
You know, I'm sitting there talking thinking about her because
I was told and I'm gonna believe it because you know,
why not. I was her favorite. And so I was
(23:58):
sitting there thinking about her, and the bed moves off
the wall like literally like like this right, like it
was a earthquake, right, And so I go running because
you know, and it wasn't dark, so and I already
knew there's spirit. So I go running and They're like, oh, no,
(24:21):
that was just a rat and I'm like, there's no
way that was rat rats. No, right, I have a
picture even that I was hugging my mom going, I'm
like totally freaked out. Right, because in our traditions in
the Philippines, we have a wake, right, and that's where
(24:42):
the body is placed in the house, and it's in
their cast obviously in the casket, and it seals in glass,
and the body stays in the house for two weeks, right,
so that family members and anyone, the neighbors everyone could
come and pay their respects to the family and to
(25:06):
the loved one that had passed, right. And so that
was one, right, and I was like okay, And then interesting.
This is weird, you know. We I could still feel her.
She we had her funeral, and again it's you know,
you it's such a surreal experience because I, you know,
(25:28):
I remember it, but then at the same time there's
parts of it that you don't, but I remember that,
you know. We all had to walk behind the casket
to the street, and we walked down a couple of
blocks before they you know, put it in the hers
to go to the cemetery because obviously in the Philippines
(25:50):
it would be super far far away, right anyway, So
all that said and done, we had the funeral. It
was good. All of a sudden, afterwards I got sick.
There was no explanations. No one could say anything as
to why I was sick. The doctors wanted me to
stay in the hospital, and at that time I was
(26:11):
so freaked out about everything in the Philippines because that
was my first time back in the Philippines in ten years, right,
and so I wasn't sure what was going on and why. Right,
So I had told my parents, if you leave me
in this hospital, you might as well never come back
(26:31):
and get me, because I will be so mad at you.
I won't want to go home with you anymore, because
I was so freaked out anyway, So long story short,
they sent home with all this medicine and I still
couldn't get better. Right, So I was, you know, so sick.
My mouth was swollen and it had so many canker sores.
(26:54):
I just couldn't really eat right, and every time I
thought of my ground, I would feel like a like
my hair move or someone tapped me on my shoulder
or anything, right, And so you know, when you're really young,
you still kind of go. You know, there are ghosts,
and I have no one to talk to because no
(27:16):
one said anything about having any sort of gifts like this, right,
So I was on my own and I wasn't seeming
to get better, and just like now, you can't fly
if you're pretty sick, right, So as a last effort,
(27:38):
my parents decided, or my mom and her sisters decided, well,
let's get a witch doctor, right, because Eastern medicine that
they have that there, so let's try it, right, So
they brought in a lady, this old lady, and she
looked at me and she's like, oh, favorite girl. I
(28:02):
was like, okay, still not knowing what the heck was
going on. She's like, light this candle, I lit it
from both ends, right, we let it drip anyway. She's talking,
saying all this stuff, and then she's like, oh, yeah,
you're your mom is with your daughter. She's actually trying
to like take like be in her body, and that's
(28:24):
why her mouth is all swollen, because she's in her
body instead of you know, just being beside her. And
so my parents are like, yeah, okay, are you sure right?
But everyone was so desperate because you know, we were
(28:45):
gonna be flying home soon and I couldn't go anywhere
unless I got better, right, So the instructions were too
We had to go to the graveyard. I had to
say goodbye to my grandma, tell her it was okay
for her to be with me, but not inhabit parts
(29:08):
of my body, right, so she wasn't allowed to be
within my body. So as we did that, so we
went to the graveyard. We went, and at this time
I barely could drink anything because everything and anything would
(29:28):
hurt to even eat or drink. So went to the graveyard,
talked to her, said I'd love you and you can
always be with me, and I want you to be
with me. Because that I was with her twenty four seven.
She was like a mom to me, right because she
(29:50):
took care of me. Right. My mom had to work,
and so she was there twenty four to seven and
we were like tight. So I said, I will miss
you physically, but I really, you know, want you to
be with me, but not in me, and it's not
(30:10):
okay to be in with my body, right, And then
I said goodbye and we walked. As we were walking
out the graveyard, I was like, I'm so thirsty, mom,
can I get a drink? And in the Philippines, water
is more expensive than soda or pop for Canadians, right,
(30:34):
So my mom bought me some pop, and me thinking
this is gonna bloody hurt, but I don't care because
I'm thirsty. I took a sip and I like jumped back,
and my Mom's like, what's wrong. Does it really really hurt?
And I said no, I said it's all gone. And
I opened it in my mouth and I showed her
(30:55):
and my whole mouth was completely clear. I had no
more cancer stores, upon canker stores, or even some sort
of I don't know, pustulars in my mouth. They were
all gone, all right, On that note, We're gonna give
some more love to our sponsors because we appreciate everything

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Welcome back. You're watching Journey with Joan only on the
Bold Brave TV Network. All right, so that was one story,
crazy story with my grandma, right, and so ever since
I knew there was something with that, and as funny
as this is so with Richard passing, right, there were
(33:58):
some issues he was taught talking to me and he's like, hey,
maybe we could sit with my kids and we can
rein recreate that scene from Ghost. I just kind of
looked at him, well, obviously, you know, in my mind's
eye went you No, I don't think so I know
(34:19):
what that's like before. You're not doing it to me,
you know. So that is the number one reason, because
everyone's like, why wouldn't you do that? Well, because I
want to make sure you like you get out. I
don't need someone else in my body besides me, all right.
(34:42):
So so there's that, and you know, reminiscing with friends
another another time again. So my uncle, my favorite uncle,
passed away three years later after my grandma did. Right.
He drowned in a boating accident or well kind of
(35:03):
boating dinghy whatever, right, And I happened to be visiting
a friend, and I had no idea anything had happened,
because my parents chose not to say anything until they
really knew all the facts, even though they knew he
was he would he had passed, right, So, right before
(35:28):
I woke up, I had a vision of my uncle
and he was in a lake, right, and I could
see his hand kind of you know, with the bubbles
and it was falling down into a lake, but I
had no I knew for sure it was a lake,
and I wasn't scared. It had given me some sort
of weird sense of peace, and so I was like, huh, okay. Interesting.
(35:53):
And then the person that I was staying at their
house said, hey, did your parents call you yet? And
I'm like, no, about my uncle and she's like yes,
and I'm like, oh, that he's still in the lake.
And she she's like, yes, I thought you said your
(36:16):
parents didn't call you. And I'm like they didn't. I
know he's in the lake. He's still in the lake.
And she goes, so, I'm confused, how do you know that.
I'm like, I just know that. So that they just
kind of left me alone because they're like, I don't
know how to deal with this, right, because I know
(36:36):
you're probably gonna be You're probably gonna be really upset
if I tell you anything more. So I'm gonna leave
it so your parents can deal with you kind of thing, right.
And as we got there, we got home and my
mom is like, okay, so your uncle is missing, and
I suig, yes, I know he's in the lake. And
she's like what how do you know? Did you hear
(36:58):
on the news? How do you know? And I said,
I just know. He told me he was still in
the lake and he still is in there. And at
this point, the RCMP and the like, the rescue people
hadn't found his body yet, so he was literally still
(37:19):
in the lake. And that was Sylvan Lake, right, And
I was a kid. I was outside. I wasn't watching
the news because I didn't care to watch the news,
and I was in Calgary, so there was no way
that we would turn on the news by ourselves anyways.
So I decided I'm not hanging out with the family
(37:42):
because this is it was too depressing. So I went, Okay,
I'm gonna go riding my bike, and then right away
I got I needed to come home because they found him, right.
So I got home and my mom was like, oh
you came home. I'm like, yeah, because you found him.
He's no longer in the lake. And everyone's like blown away,
(38:04):
like how do you know this? I'm like, I just do.
I don't know how to explain it. He and then
I said, you know what he told me, That's why
I know you found him, right. So those are like
some of those things. That's how mediumship has worked for me, right,
(38:26):
And this was when I was only thirteen at the
time too, So again I had no one to know,
like how to teach me how to do this. And
this was in the eighties. So again, you know, like
talking about ghosts and spirits was really kind of taboo
and a lot of this stuff. You know, most people
would say this is all paranormal stuff, right, but this
(38:49):
was my own family doing this right. So again, you know,
as time goes by, I guess what happens? The phone
rings and sure enough, sure, shit, it was my uncle.
He was my favorite uncle. He called, He called on
(39:09):
the phone. He did exactly the same thing as my grandma.
And I believe he did it. Why because he knew
my grandma did it and my grandma his mom probably said,
you know what, call her because she'll answer the phone
and she'll talk to you, and she'll know it's you.
(39:30):
She won't be scared, it won't be okay. So yes,
that's what happened. I could hear it again. It was static, right.
It sounded like they were talking on a CBE radio
sort of thing, and all I could hear was like
sh right, like snow but in the background I heard
his voice and he was saying, how are you Are
(39:50):
you okay? I love you? I miss you, right, And
I was like, yeah, I love you. I miss you too, right,
Like can you keep calling me? Because I really, you know,
I really really miss you. I enjoy being with you. Right.
Because he was cool, He was really cool. He was
only thirteen years older than me, so it was like,
(40:12):
this is awesome, right, like an uncle, but he's not.
And he's like a bigger brother, like an older brother,
but you know, cooler because you know he might be
able to get away with more stuff because he's Mom's brother. Anyway,
So that was you know, that was my uncle. But
(40:33):
to this day, so he passed away. He drowned in
Silvan Lake, Alberta. To this day, I have a hard
time being around like in the lake. Right. So I've
been on boats on the lake and I went sailboarding
on that lake and it literally freaks the shit out
(40:56):
of me. It totally freaks me out. And I just
was shown something. Prior to my uncle's passing, we had
gone swimming with all the aunties and uncles, which you
know aren't technically real aunts and uncles, right, that's what
we called our parents' friends, aunties and uncles. I had
(41:19):
gone swimming with all my friends, like and I felt
like I was gonna drown that one time, and I
was so scared of the water and I was drowning.
I felt it. But then I just got picked out.
And you know, all as good, No, as you know,
all is good love war. No one really gave a shit. Right,
you're fine, You didn't swallow too much water. You're good.
(41:42):
Now I realize that that was probably a premonition to
what was to come. Does that make sense? So again,
See now I am as an adult slowly piecing together
parts of my childhood that were showing me things like
(42:04):
things to come right. So, yeah, my uncle, he's quite
the card. He likes to do different, weird things right.
The one time I was made aware of this when
I was talking to my friends because we had invited
him over apparently and my sister, My sister liked to
kind of scare us a little bit because she was
(42:25):
older and she was the atae, so we had to
do exactly what she said. It didn't matter even if
we really didn't want to, right. That was part of
our culture. Listen to your elders or you can get
in big time crap. Right. So, Jerome had actually reminded
me that, hey, do you remember that time we played
(42:48):
with the Ouiji board? I went, yes, that freaked the
shit right out of me, and he's like, yes, he
goes me too, he goes, your uncle had just passed. Enjoy.
My sister decided wanted us to play with her with
the Ouiji board, right, so we're like, yeah, okay, whatever,
(43:10):
not thinking anything of it, we do it. The triangle
thing starts to move a little bit right, and then
we're like, you moved that right to my sister, and
Jerome and I look at each other and we could
tell my sister was kind of like shocked and not
(43:32):
quite sure what the hell just happened. Right, So Jerome
and I started looking at each other and we start
like our hearts starts racing a little bit more, and
then all of a sudden, that triangle piece that shows you,
you know, like to spell everything, literally jumps from the
board right at our face right like, and so you know,
(43:57):
guess what, We go running, of course, and Term's like,
I've never been to your house again for like the
next two weeks for sure, because I was totally freaked out.
And I looked at him and I said, how do
you remember that? I said, I didn't think you were
part of that because I was so scared, right, And
(44:19):
he goes, oh, no, that totally freaked me out. And
he goes and now with Richard, and you're talking to
Richard and everything like this happening. He goes, you know what, Joan,
it's probably he was able to be so strong because
of your gifts that you probably helped him jump that
(44:40):
because he knew we shouldn't be playing with that, and
he wanted to teach us a lesson and freak the
crap out of us, right. And again it's that you know,
a lot of people would say this is paranormal activity,
but in my world, I'm gonna tell you this was normal, right.
And Jerome just got a little taste of what Joan
(45:04):
has to deal with on a daily basis, right, Like
turn off the lights in the basement, and that was
like the hardest chour ever. And I was always mad
at my dad or my grandpa or my mom because
I felt like they always left the lights in the
basement on just to fuck with me, because they knew
(45:27):
I didn't want to go down there by myself and
turn off the lights and walk up the stairs slowly,
right because I was not allowed to run up the stairs.
That never ever happened. I'm gonna tell you it never
ever did. I'd always like like reach as far as
(45:48):
I could. And back then it was like you know,
the lights on the wall, like on the ceiling, I'd
like click it and just bolt because Holy Jesus, I
would not be there by myself, and it was just
absolutely insane. And on this note, we will be back
(46:16):
shortly after these messages.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
Welcome back, you're watching Journey with Joan only on the
Bold Brave TV Network. Thank you again. I'm grateful and
thankful that you are here with me tonight and listening
to me and keeping me company. Thank you all right,
So isn't that crazy about all these different things that
(48:52):
my loved ones would do just to show me? And
again it's part of learning how to figure out everything
and piecing things together. So now when I get you know,
vivid vivid dreams, I listen because most times they're telling
(49:12):
me what's to come, right. And people would always think
that I was, you know, a worry wart and I
would say things like don't go down like cause I
would say to some people because I wake up and go,
you're traveling today, right, yes, okay, where are you going?
(49:34):
You're going this part of town? Right?
Speaker 1 (49:36):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (49:37):
Can you not drive down this road? And they're like
what why again, I'm like, can you just do me
a favor? Enlighten me, and please just don't drive that
way or be a little bit late or something right,
And sometimes there would be a major accident and it
was just insane. Like for me, it was constant about
(50:01):
you know, I was worried about people, right all the time,
and when I was talking to a high school friend,
he was like, I always just thought you weren't worry wart.
I didn't you know now that you say what you do,
he goes, I totally get it, and I totally understand.
And now I know why you were always kind of
(50:23):
skittish and why you would be like, no, I don't
like this, I don't want this, right like I would
tell people they like I dated a guy and in
college and he's like, we're gonna go visit my parents
this weekend. And I'm like, no, we're not, and he goes, yeah,
(50:44):
we are. And I'm like they're not going to be
home and he's like, yes they are. How do you know.
And I'm like I know, trust me, they're not going
to be home. And he goes, no, no, no, my
parents don't have a life. They're not going to be home.
So I'm like, okay, all right, whatever. Right Again, I
never told anyone about who what I could do, because again,
(51:07):
it wasn't one of those things that you talked about.
We end up going and we went to I don't
want to say, like it's in the central southwest part
of Alberta and it's let's just say, Joan can't get
(51:28):
lost in that area, right because they have let's see,
like KKK kind of compounds there.
Speaker 1 (51:41):
All right.
Speaker 2 (51:42):
So and yes I was dating someone that lived there.
Why because my type is blond, terribly wise? All right. Anyways,
so we get there, we get to his parents' house.
Guess what, not home. It's like, I'm like, see, I
(52:04):
told you they're not going to be home. No, no, Joan,
You're wrong. They'll be at work. Okay. So we get
to their work, get to the work, and he goes, hey,
where's my parents? Oh? Yeah, they they went to Calgary
to see your sister. And then I looked at him
and I said, see, I told you they aren't home.
(52:28):
And he's like, no, I insist they are here. They
probably said to him because they wanted time off. And
I'm like, no, this is such a small town. Everyone
would know if they were bullshitting, right, Okay, So we
end up going all over this town, right, and me,
I'm the only like visible minority there, and Aaron's staring
(52:57):
at me, right, he's holding I had mister arian boy, right,
And I'm like we have to go. I really, you
know your parents aren't here, and I drove, so we're
gonna go, and he like, and he's finally resigned the
fact that I was right, right, So then we go
(53:18):
and he goes, no, don't we should, Let's stop at
the pub before we go. We stop at the pub.
It's booming. It's loud. It's like you could hear it
from outside. Everyone was talking really really loud. I walk
in with him and the whole place goes silent, and
(53:39):
they watch me and we They continue to watch me
until we sit down at our table, and then as
soon as I sit down and we're settled, then it
becomes buzzing again. And he then the guy was dating
because like, I gotta go the washer. I'll be right back.
(54:01):
And I'm like, actually, I'm not comfortable here, So if
you're not in my car in five minutes, you're gonna
walk your ass back to Red Dear because I'm not
staying here any further. Right, So, all I knew is
I needed to get out of there, and I need
to get out of there fast, right, So there's all
(54:24):
these things right that I get told and I even
had a premonition about being in a car accident, getting
rear ended. I was really again It really freaks me out,
especially if it has to do with me, because if
I had my children in my car, right, it really
(54:46):
is quite daunting because I'm like, hey, you want me
to do this work. You want me to talk about,
you know, being spiritual and helping others awake, like wake
up and be you know, more within their bodies so
that they can hear the things that I do. But
obviously maybe not at the same extent as I can.
(55:11):
I'm like, you can't hurt my family because I won't
be able to do this, right. So there's so many
different things like just you know, I pray and I
get shown these things and then it's like tell people
this and tell people, you know, like again, we as
(55:32):
a collective society need to start living in love so
that we can love everyone around us, right, And everyone's like, yeah,
but everyone else isn't doing it. But what I am
guided to tell and this is part of this podcast,
(55:54):
is you know what it all starts with ourselves, right
when we make a difference and we make a change. Right.
And I'm going to say this because you know, like
I'm wearing this shirt and it's the anti social social club.
(56:15):
We got to stop being anti social right and start
spreading love and joy so that you know, more people
can feel loved in this world and not alone, because
we are never alone spirit us with us, we are
(56:36):
you know, we need to start thinking of others as well.
And it's not to be selfish, right, it's just to
be alive and be awake and stay, you know, get
off these things so much that we can't, you know,
(56:57):
enjoy ourselves and enjoy the world, right, and smile at
that person next to us, right, or smile to the
person like next in line to us. So you know,
we are out of time. But I'm going to ask you,
(57:18):
you know, as homework, if you will be kind share
some love, right if you're used to like hiding in
your shell, like I wear this when I go out
after I've done a full days reading readings at a
(57:39):
psychic fair and I'm spent and i don't want to
talk to anyone because I'm just physically utterly drained. Right,
I challenge you, all of you, you know, to say
hi to the person in front of you or at
the back of you, or even just smile open the
door for them and say you know hi, you know,
(58:02):
and if someone opens the door, for you say thank you.
It's just that simple, all right. Until next time, embrace
what fuels the snow. I'm Joan Wyden. You're watching Journey

Speaker 2 (00:42):
And thank you for joining me tonight. As you can see,
I'm not in my normal space. I am traveling with
my son. He is playing baseball right now in the
frigid cold, and I get to be lucky and warm
here with you guys, So thank you for joining me.
All right, So tonight, here's the song. Ready. The song
(01:06):
is Feeling Unknown. You're all alone, flesh and bone by
the telephone. Pick up the receiver and I'll make you
a believer. Now, who do you think saying that song?
I'll tell you when we come back from the first break.
(01:27):
All right, But so tonight's topic, we're going to be
talking about mediumship. Well, anyways, my take on mediumship. Right again,
We're going to journey back because of everything that's happened
in the last week with my friend passing away, you know,
(01:47):
and it being a gift for me to be able
to be there to see him transition and help him
through that process, and help my other childhood friends figure out,
you know, like to calm down and you know, help
them see that Richard actually is still with us here,
like even though he's flesh and bone, right, it's he's
(02:09):
not here physically, but he's still with us spiritually. So
I help them see unbelieve that anything was possible. Now,
all these all of my childhood friends, they've only kind
of known that I could do this for maybe maybe
(02:30):
ten years maybe, right. I never this having my own
podcast and talking about spirits and how they talk to
me is very freeing because I would keep it to myself.
I would never tell many people about what I can do,
because you know, it's I was always a little kind
(02:52):
of quirky, right, and so you bring this into the mix,
and then it's like whoa, Okay, stay all right. So
we're in a journey through how everything kind of unfolded
for me and how mediumship it just start just happened. Okay.
(03:13):
So when I was a child, we came to Canada, right,
and it's all foreign land apparently, and it's really well,
it was cold, which you know I love. I don't
love the cold, but I don't like being hot. But
(03:37):
I also don't like doing too cold anyways, so we're
going so I digress. Anyways, there's so many different things.
This is a new right, and here in Canada there's
you know, it's not that old per se, right, like
(03:57):
cities and building aren't that old. But I just remember
there's so many things that always would go bump in
the night, and the darkness would always scare me, and
every it was funny because my parents and then my
(04:18):
grandparents are like, why are you running? Are there ghosts here? Right?
And at the time I was like, well, actually, yes,
yes there are, right, And for me, I didn't like you.
If I were to have said yes there were, that
would be me speaking back to my parents or my grandfather,
(04:40):
which was an absolute no no, right, you don't talk
back to them, right, And so it was like yeah,
and then you ran away and then they couldn't catch
you when you were totally fine. Right. But the only
time I could sit and b was when spirit would
(05:04):
make me have a headache, right, And it was such
a bad headache. I had a migraine, and these migraines
would make me have to be in the basement in
the darkest place that I would never ever go when
I you know, if I didn't have these headaches, and
(05:26):
it was the coldest and I had to lay there
and I had to keep my eyes open because that
was the only way that these headaches would start to
go away. Now, when the headaches started to go away,
it was I got to see all these different like
spirits common they I don't know if they would talk
(05:48):
or they would swirl, right, But so now as an adult,
I kind of go, oh, I get it. They were
trying to talk to me. So I don't know who
or who they belonged to, but I do know as
a child, there were there was quite a few deaths around, right,
And I didn't know, if you know, I was a kid,
(06:12):
I didn't know. All I wanted to do is play outside,
have a great time. But I also, you know, had
these things talk to me, and I would know if
I would be in danger or if I would you know,
it was okay to do that, right, like walk down
the alley way to school for the school dance or
(06:33):
walk home from it. And you know, most people would say, no,
why are you walking through the alley? But I would
because I felt a sense of peace there. And then
as I did it, the moonlight would it would almost
light the whole path, and so that I would get
home and it would be all right, right. So mediumship
(06:55):
for me is listening to spirit and sometimes I hear
them like they're sitting right here talking to me. But
most of the times they're talking to me in pictures.
Like it's like a real right, So it's like a
movie flick, right, like it kind of goes by, or
(07:16):
it's in a picture. It's really like playing charades with
a body of light, and they're trying to get your attention.
And it depends how strong they are as well, right,
and how strong their connection is with the people that
are wanting the message right. So a lot of times
(07:39):
it's just weird that way. Where how like the one
lady came to me and she wanted to talk to
her dad, and so he automatically showed me a picture
of him and he was, you know, pretty DApp worries
he liked to dress up right, and which he showed
(08:03):
me the picture of him and it was a brown suit,
and she well, actually he highlighted his jacket and his pants, right,
So for me that would be like, okay, you want
me to pay attention to your outfit. So then and
(08:24):
then I could see him smiling more. So then I
was like, okay, so your dad liked to dress up.
He had a favorite suit and it was brown and
he wore them in almost all the pictures that were
taken with him in it is that correct? And then
(08:44):
she would look at me and she would be like, yes,
how did you know that? Again, he highlighted what he
looked like, right, so I could see what he looked like,
what kind of shirt he wore. But the outline of
his jacket and his pants were illuminated, right, So if
(09:05):
you were to look, you know, when you kind of
look past something, you start to see like an outline
right around and it's kind of like a white like
a shimmery, and that's what it would do, and it
would it's almost like a neon light for me, because
then it's like super super bright and then it just
(09:27):
shows you and it's just wow. Right, And then there's
sometimes sometimes I have no idea what they're trying to say,
because I either have never had that experience, right, or
I haven't heard of what they were trying to talk about,
and so it gives it a little it's a little
(09:49):
bit harder to understand. And sometimes oddly, if they weren't
good in English, right, it's it's a different different as well, right,
because they're still same on the other side as they
were here. That's how they portray themselves. Right. Also, if
(10:14):
they were spiritual or if they were devote Catholic, say, right,
so my group of friends and me, we all grew
up Catholic, right, and Catholic was you know everything, And
so when we talk about spirits, right, you can talk
about angels, the angels, no problem, right, Like there's right,
(10:37):
and then there's the saint Saint Christopher to keep you safe.
There's archangel Michael, and there's Gabriel, right, because Gabriel was
I believe, the angel that came to present Jesus when
Jesus was born. Right, So then we all those no problem. Right,
It's all good. But if you talk about any sort
(10:58):
of other spirits, it's like, well, I'm not you know,
it's a bit almost like the speak of the devil. Right.
So I had someone common They're like, do you see
my parents right? And right away I'm like, yeah, I can, Yeah,
I can see them. And she's like, well, are they together?
(11:20):
And I'm like, yeah, they are, right. Your dad wants
to is you know, doing a little more talking, he said,
But your mom is there, and she's kind of looking
at me like suspicious, right, kind of suspicious, and she's
kind of hovering behind her husband. And then I'm just like, oh,
(11:41):
your mom was very Christian, right, and she's not a huge,
like not really a believer of this, and so she
is questioning what's going on right and if it can
actually happen, right, And so the more I talked to
(12:02):
the more she loosened up. But again, I know you're
gonna say, well, isn't the other side is freeing? Yes
it is. But when people and when spirits come to
talk to us, right, they still present themselves as they
would be here on earth, right, Because if they presented
(12:24):
themselves like the regular free spirit that they were, and
all these things, their personalities and all the idiosyncrasies that
we know of them would be completely different than what
we know and loved in our own heart. Right. So
(12:48):
then when I would talk to them or another medium
would talk to them, it would be completely different and
they would go no that you would go, no, that's
I don't know you're talking about. That's definitely not my relative, right,
Like I can't no, right, And so yes, they're free
(13:14):
on the other side and everything is different. There is
no judgments on the other side. But when they come
to speak to you as the loved one, they come
back exactly how you remember them, right, because we we
are looking for those signs. We are wanting to know
(13:38):
how they are. Right. And so when people come to
a medium, they're like, I didn't realize there was different
types of mediums before, right, Like I go Clairbryant medium,
psychic medium, and then I saw someone's like, well, I'm
(13:59):
an evident medium, and I was like, oh, well, what's
that right? But okay, so an evidential medium apparently is
someone that gives you facts, facts of how, how or
when not when technically they passed away, but what they
(14:20):
passed away of different things that happened during their time
of passing that no one would ever know, right, And
I was like, oh, okay, well that makes sense, I
do that, right, So it's it's really quite. I just
(14:43):
you know, maybe it's a different way of how people
differentiate from other people. But I'm going to tell you
every medium we do we're the same, but we're not right.
We all have different highlight lights for ourselves and which
(15:03):
make us stand out differently from someone else. And so
this is how you would choose when you go to
a medium. Choose what you know if they feel right
to you, right, if in your heart it feels okay, right,
like they make you feel comfortable. Right. Also, when you
(15:29):
get a reading from someone, say you know, it's not
necessarily a like a mediumship reading or well either way, right,
like a reading or a mediumship reading. If something doesn't
sit with you, what you do is you let that
(15:52):
information go, right, don't allow it to sink here within
yourself in your heart, because you know, we are human
and we can get the information incorrect, right, and the
information can sometimes be misunderstood right, or it hasn't happened yet.
(16:18):
And so we've told you something that hasn't happened yet.
And if you hang off that word and you're like, no,
absolutely not, that's not right, I don't like it anything
like that, you actually are cutting off or diminishing the
line of communication between me as the medium and your
(16:44):
loved one that's trying to come through and that is
talking right, and so it cuts that, you know, communication
a little bit harder, like it makes it a bit
more difficult. Also, if you hang on something that doesn't
make sense to you and you let it faster, then
(17:05):
it just there creates frustration and anger which no longer
really like you shouldn't. It doesn't matter, right if it
doesn't fit. What I do is like you know what,
because I have spiritual readers for me. If it doesn't fit,
I just go take it, chuck it right over the
(17:27):
right shoulder, just like if you spill salt right someone
says you pick it up and you throw salt over
your shoulder. That's how you do it. And anyways, we
will be back after two minutes. Given some love and
some appreciation to our sponsors. See you in two minutes.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Welcome back here watching journey with John. All right, so
have you figured out the song the song is from? Oh?
I didn't write the name of the song, but it's
Personal Jesus by depeche Mode. All right. And for those
(20:13):
of you wondering how I come up with these songs,
Spirit gives them to me because I'm like, okay, this
is my topic. What I like to I love songs,
So what songs should I choose? And sometimes I have
one in mind and sometimes they'll be like, okay, yeah,
you could use that one, but no, this one, this
one just started playing in my head and I'm like, okay, great, done,
(20:36):
let's do it. All right, So back to mediumship mediumship?
All right. So the reason I think they Spirit chose
that song because it said flesh and Bone by the telephone.
Pick up the receiver and I'll make you a believer.
All right, So here is a really cool story. When
(21:00):
I was younger and my grandma passed away, I was
with my uncle and I was at his house. And
I'm not sure if I told this story before, but
I for some reason, I feel like I have. But anyways,
the phone rang and it was the old phones with
you know, the rotary so you hated anyone that had
(21:23):
any eights or nines or zeros in their phone numbers
because it would take too long to dial. So anyways,
I picked up the receiver just like this sign said,
and all I could hear was static. But I heard
a faint voice in the very back, and I was like, hello, hello, right,
(21:44):
and I could hear my grandma talk to me, and
it was so special. It was I was like, and
Grandma is not Grandma? Is Lola? Right? So I would
be like Lola And I was talking to her and
my uncle just freaked out and said, who are you
talking to me? And grabbed the phone and he started
(22:04):
listening and he could hear her and he was just like,
whoa okay, and he goes, I don't like, I don't
know who this is, and so he hung up the phone.
But to me, I knew that was her right, because
she had done so many different things when she passed away.
For me, first off, I knew I had found her.
(22:26):
She was a diabetic and she went into like into
a diabetic kind of convulsions or whatever. And we shared
a bedroom, so when I went to bed, I saw
her convulsion rate, and so as soon as I saw
her doing that, I was what ten at the time,
I just knew that was the last time I was
(22:49):
going to see her. I wasn't going to see her again, right,
And from that time that moment to the time we
were boarding an airplane with her her body, I don't
remember any of the events in between. I don't remember
the EMS coming to the house taking her away, like,
(23:12):
I don't remember any of that stuff. So and I
don't know if it was because my brain, you know,
it doesn't allow traumatic events or whichever. But I do
remember when we were on the airplane and I was
sitting beside the window and it happened to be the
same side as the cargo side, which is you know again,
(23:33):
was that coincidence, I don't know, But I did see
her casket get loaded into the airplane, so I knew
she was with me. So that's number one. We get there.
You know, I'm sitting there talking thinking about her because
I was told and I'm gonna believe it because you know,
why not. I was her favorite. And so I was
(23:58):
sitting there thinking about her, and the bed moves off
the wall like literally like like this right, like it
was a earthquake, right, And so I go running because
you know, and it wasn't dark, so and I already
knew there's spirit. So I go running and They're like, oh, no,
(24:21):
that was just a rat and I'm like, there's no
way that was rat rats. No, right, I have a
picture even that I was hugging my mom going, I'm
like totally freaked out. Right, because in our traditions in
the Philippines, we have a wake, right, and that's where
(24:42):
the body is placed in the house, and it's in
their cast obviously in the casket, and it seals in glass,
and the body stays in the house for two weeks, right,
so that family members and anyone, the neighbors everyone could
come and pay their respects to the family and to
(25:06):
the loved one that had passed, right. And so that
was one, right, and I was like okay, And then interesting.
This is weird, you know. We I could still feel her.
She we had her funeral, and again it's you know,
you it's such a surreal experience because I, you know,
(25:28):
I remember it, but then at the same time there's
parts of it that you don't, but I remember that,
you know. We all had to walk behind the casket
to the street, and we walked down a couple of
blocks before they you know, put it in the hers
to go to the cemetery because obviously in the Philippines
(25:50):
it would be super far far away, right anyway, So
all that said and done, we had the funeral. It
was good. All of a sudden, afterwards I got sick.
There was no explanations. No one could say anything as
to why I was sick. The doctors wanted me to
stay in the hospital, and at that time I was
(26:11):
so freaked out about everything in the Philippines because that
was my first time back in the Philippines in ten years, right,
and so I wasn't sure what was going on and why. Right,
So I had told my parents, if you leave me
in this hospital, you might as well never come back
(26:31):
and get me, because I will be so mad at you.
I won't want to go home with you anymore, because
I was so freaked out anyway, So long story short,
they sent home with all this medicine and I still
couldn't get better. Right, So I was, you know, so sick.
My mouth was swollen and it had so many canker sores.
(26:54):
I just couldn't really eat right, and every time I
thought of my ground, I would feel like a like
my hair move or someone tapped me on my shoulder
or anything, right, And so you know, when you're really young,
you still kind of go. You know, there are ghosts,
and I have no one to talk to because no
(27:16):
one said anything about having any sort of gifts like this, right,
So I was on my own and I wasn't seeming
to get better, and just like now, you can't fly
if you're pretty sick, right, So as a last effort,
(27:38):
my parents decided, or my mom and her sisters decided, well,
let's get a witch doctor, right, because Eastern medicine that
they have that there, so let's try it, right, So
they brought in a lady, this old lady, and she
looked at me and she's like, oh, favorite girl. I
(28:02):
was like, okay, still not knowing what the heck was
going on. She's like, light this candle, I lit it
from both ends, right, we let it drip anyway. She's talking,
saying all this stuff, and then she's like, oh, yeah,
you're your mom is with your daughter. She's actually trying
to like take like be in her body, and that's
(28:24):
why her mouth is all swollen, because she's in her
body instead of you know, just being beside her. And
so my parents are like, yeah, okay, are you sure right?
But everyone was so desperate because you know, we were
(28:45):
gonna be flying home soon and I couldn't go anywhere
unless I got better, right, So the instructions were too
We had to go to the graveyard. I had to
say goodbye to my grandma, tell her it was okay
for her to be with me, but not inhabit parts
(29:08):
of my body, right, so she wasn't allowed to be
within my body. So as we did that, so we
went to the graveyard. We went, and at this time
I barely could drink anything because everything and anything would
(29:28):
hurt to even eat or drink. So went to the graveyard,
talked to her, said I'd love you and you can
always be with me, and I want you to be
with me. Because that I was with her twenty four seven.
She was like a mom to me, right because she
(29:50):
took care of me. Right. My mom had to work,
and so she was there twenty four to seven and
we were like tight. So I said, I will miss
you physically, but I really, you know, want you to
be with me, but not in me, and it's not
(30:10):
okay to be in with my body, right, And then
I said goodbye and we walked. As we were walking
out the graveyard, I was like, I'm so thirsty, mom,
can I get a drink? And in the Philippines, water
is more expensive than soda or pop for Canadians, right,
(30:34):
So my mom bought me some pop, and me thinking
this is gonna bloody hurt, but I don't care because
I'm thirsty. I took a sip and I like jumped back,
and my Mom's like, what's wrong. Does it really really hurt?
And I said no, I said it's all gone. And
I opened it in my mouth and I showed her
(30:55):
and my whole mouth was completely clear. I had no
more cancer stores, upon canker stores, or even some sort
of I don't know, pustulars in my mouth. They were
all gone, all right, On that note, We're gonna give
some more love to our sponsors because we appreciate everything

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Welcome back. You're watching Journey with Joan only on the
Bold Brave TV Network. All right, so that was one story,
crazy story with my grandma, right, and so ever since
I knew there was something with that, and as funny
as this is so with Richard passing, right, there were
(33:58):
some issues he was taught talking to me and he's like, hey,
maybe we could sit with my kids and we can
rein recreate that scene from Ghost. I just kind of
looked at him, well, obviously, you know, in my mind's
eye went you No, I don't think so I know
(34:19):
what that's like before. You're not doing it to me,
you know. So that is the number one reason, because
everyone's like, why wouldn't you do that? Well, because I
want to make sure you like you get out. I
don't need someone else in my body besides me, all right.
(34:42):
So so there's that, and you know, reminiscing with friends
another another time again. So my uncle, my favorite uncle,
passed away three years later after my grandma did. Right.
He drowned in a boating accident or well kind of
(35:03):
boating dinghy whatever, right, And I happened to be visiting
a friend, and I had no idea anything had happened,
because my parents chose not to say anything until they
really knew all the facts, even though they knew he
was he would he had passed, right, So, right before
(35:28):
I woke up, I had a vision of my uncle
and he was in a lake, right, and I could
see his hand kind of you know, with the bubbles
and it was falling down into a lake, but I
had no I knew for sure it was a lake,
and I wasn't scared. It had given me some sort
of weird sense of peace, and so I was like, huh, okay. Interesting.
(35:53):
And then the person that I was staying at their
house said, hey, did your parents call you yet? And
I'm like, no, about my uncle and she's like yes,
and I'm like, oh, that he's still in the lake.
And she she's like, yes, I thought you said your
(36:16):
parents didn't call you. And I'm like they didn't. I
know he's in the lake. He's still in the lake.
And she goes, so, I'm confused, how do you know that.
I'm like, I just know that. So that they just
kind of left me alone because they're like, I don't
know how to deal with this, right, because I know
(36:36):
you're probably gonna be You're probably gonna be really upset
if I tell you anything more. So I'm gonna leave
it so your parents can deal with you kind of thing, right.
And as we got there, we got home and my
mom is like, okay, so your uncle is missing, and
I suig, yes, I know he's in the lake. And
she's like what how do you know? Did you hear
(36:58):
on the news? How do you know? And I said,
I just know. He told me he was still in
the lake and he still is in there. And at
this point, the RCMP and the like, the rescue people
hadn't found his body yet, so he was literally still
(37:19):
in the lake. And that was Sylvan Lake, right, And
I was a kid. I was outside. I wasn't watching
the news because I didn't care to watch the news,
and I was in Calgary, so there was no way
that we would turn on the news by ourselves anyways.
So I decided I'm not hanging out with the family
(37:42):
because this is it was too depressing. So I went, Okay,
I'm gonna go riding my bike, and then right away
I got I needed to come home because they found him, right.
So I got home and my mom was like, oh
you came home. I'm like, yeah, because you found him.
He's no longer in the lake. And everyone's like blown away,
(38:04):
like how do you know this? I'm like, I just do.
I don't know how to explain it. He and then
I said, you know what he told me, That's why
I know you found him, right. So those are like
some of those things. That's how mediumship has worked for me, right,
(38:26):
And this was when I was only thirteen at the
time too, So again I had no one to know,
like how to teach me how to do this. And
this was in the eighties. So again, you know, like
talking about ghosts and spirits was really kind of taboo
and a lot of this stuff. You know, most people
would say this is all paranormal stuff, right, but this
(38:49):
was my own family doing this right. So again, you know,
as time goes by, I guess what happens? The phone
rings and sure enough, sure, shit, it was my uncle.
He was my favorite uncle. He called, He called on
(39:09):
the phone. He did exactly the same thing as my grandma.
And I believe he did it. Why because he knew
my grandma did it and my grandma his mom probably said,
you know what, call her because she'll answer the phone
and she'll talk to you, and she'll know it's you.
(39:30):
She won't be scared, it won't be okay. So yes,
that's what happened. I could hear it again. It was static, right.
It sounded like they were talking on a CBE radio
sort of thing, and all I could hear was like
sh right, like snow but in the background I heard
his voice and he was saying, how are you Are
(39:50):
you okay? I love you? I miss you, right, And
I was like, yeah, I love you. I miss you too, right,
Like can you keep calling me? Because I really, you know,
I really really miss you. I enjoy being with you. Right.
Because he was cool, He was really cool. He was
only thirteen years older than me, so it was like,
(40:12):
this is awesome, right, like an uncle, but he's not.
And he's like a bigger brother, like an older brother,
but you know, cooler because you know he might be
able to get away with more stuff because he's Mom's brother. Anyway,
So that was you know, that was my uncle. But
(40:33):
to this day, so he passed away. He drowned in
Silvan Lake, Alberta. To this day, I have a hard
time being around like in the lake. Right. So I've
been on boats on the lake and I went sailboarding
on that lake and it literally freaks the shit out
(40:56):
of me. It totally freaks me out. And I just
was shown something. Prior to my uncle's passing, we had
gone swimming with all the aunties and uncles, which you
know aren't technically real aunts and uncles, right, that's what
we called our parents' friends, aunties and uncles. I had
(41:19):
gone swimming with all my friends, like and I felt
like I was gonna drown that one time, and I
was so scared of the water and I was drowning.
I felt it. But then I just got picked out.
And you know, all as good, No, as you know,
all is good love war. No one really gave a shit. Right,
you're fine, You didn't swallow too much water. You're good.
(41:42):
Now I realize that that was probably a premonition to
what was to come. Does that make sense? So again,
See now I am as an adult slowly piecing together
parts of my childhood that were showing me things like
(42:04):
things to come right. So, yeah, my uncle, he's quite
the card. He likes to do different, weird things right.
The one time I was made aware of this when
I was talking to my friends because we had invited
him over apparently and my sister, My sister liked to
kind of scare us a little bit because she was
(42:25):
older and she was the atae, so we had to
do exactly what she said. It didn't matter even if
we really didn't want to, right. That was part of
our culture. Listen to your elders or you can get
in big time crap. Right. So, Jerome had actually reminded
me that, hey, do you remember that time we played
(42:48):
with the Ouiji board? I went, yes, that freaked the
shit right out of me, and he's like, yes, he
goes me too, he goes, your uncle had just passed. Enjoy.
My sister decided wanted us to play with her with
the Ouiji board, right, so we're like, yeah, okay, whatever,
(43:10):
not thinking anything of it, we do it. The triangle
thing starts to move a little bit right, and then
we're like, you moved that right to my sister, and
Jerome and I look at each other and we could
tell my sister was kind of like shocked and not
(43:32):
quite sure what the hell just happened. Right, So Jerome
and I started looking at each other and we start
like our hearts starts racing a little bit more, and
then all of a sudden, that triangle piece that shows you,
you know, like to spell everything, literally jumps from the
board right at our face right like, and so you know,
(43:57):
guess what, We go running, of course, and Term's like,
I've never been to your house again for like the
next two weeks for sure, because I was totally freaked out.
And I looked at him and I said, how do
you remember that? I said, I didn't think you were
part of that because I was so scared, right, And
(44:19):
he goes, oh, no, that totally freaked me out. And
he goes and now with Richard, and you're talking to
Richard and everything like this happening. He goes, you know what, Joan,
it's probably he was able to be so strong because
of your gifts that you probably helped him jump that
(44:40):
because he knew we shouldn't be playing with that, and
he wanted to teach us a lesson and freak the
crap out of us, right. And again it's that you know,
a lot of people would say this is paranormal activity,
but in my world, I'm gonna tell you this was normal, right.
And Jerome just got a little taste of what Joan
(45:04):
has to deal with on a daily basis, right, Like
turn off the lights in the basement, and that was
like the hardest chour ever. And I was always mad
at my dad or my grandpa or my mom because
I felt like they always left the lights in the
basement on just to fuck with me, because they knew
(45:27):
I didn't want to go down there by myself and
turn off the lights and walk up the stairs slowly,
right because I was not allowed to run up the stairs.
That never ever happened. I'm gonna tell you it never
ever did. I'd always like like reach as far as
(45:48):
I could. And back then it was like you know,
the lights on the wall, like on the ceiling, I'd
like click it and just bolt because Holy Jesus, I
would not be there by myself, and it was just
absolutely insane. And on this note, we will be back
(46:16):
shortly after these messages.

Bold Brave TV Network. Thank you again. I'm grateful and
thankful that you are here with me tonight and listening
to me and keeping me company. Thank you all right,
So isn't that crazy about all these different things that
(48:52):
my loved ones would do just to show me? And
again it's part of learning how to figure out everything
and piecing things together. So now when I get you know,
vivid vivid dreams, I listen because most times they're telling
(49:12):
me what's to come, right. And people would always think
that I was, you know, a worry wart and I
would say things like don't go down like cause I
would say to some people because I wake up and go,
you're traveling today, right, yes, okay, where are you going?
(49:34):
You're going this part of town? Right?
Speaker 1 (49:36):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (49:37):
Can you not drive down this road? And they're like
what why again, I'm like, can you just do me
a favor? Enlighten me, and please just don't drive that
way or be a little bit late or something right,
And sometimes there would be a major accident and it
was just insane. Like for me, it was constant about
(50:01):
you know, I was worried about people, right all the time,
and when I was talking to a high school friend,
he was like, I always just thought you weren't worry wart.
I didn't you know now that you say what you do,
he goes, I totally get it, and I totally understand.
And now I know why you were always kind of
(50:23):
skittish and why you would be like, no, I don't
like this, I don't want this, right like I would
tell people they like I dated a guy and in
college and he's like, we're gonna go visit my parents
this weekend. And I'm like, no, we're not, and he goes, yeah,
(50:44):
we are. And I'm like they're not going to be
home and he's like, yes they are. How do you know.
And I'm like I know, trust me, they're not going
to be home. And he goes, no, no, no, my
parents don't have a life. They're not going to be home.
So I'm like, okay, all right, whatever. Right Again, I
never told anyone about who what I could do, because again,
(51:07):
it wasn't one of those things that you talked about.
We end up going and we went to I don't
want to say, like it's in the central southwest part
of Alberta and it's let's just say, Joan can't get
(51:28):
lost in that area, right because they have let's see,
like KKK kind of compounds there.
Speaker 1 (51:41):
All right.
Speaker 2 (51:42):
So and yes I was dating someone that lived there.
Why because my type is blond, terribly wise? All right. Anyways,
so we get there, we get to his parents' house.
Guess what, not home. It's like, I'm like, see, I
(52:04):
told you they're not going to be home. No, no, Joan,
You're wrong. They'll be at work. Okay. So we get
to their work, get to the work, and he goes, hey,
where's my parents? Oh? Yeah, they they went to Calgary
to see your sister. And then I looked at him
and I said, see, I told you they aren't home.
(52:28):
And he's like, no, I insist they are here. They
probably said to him because they wanted time off. And
I'm like, no, this is such a small town. Everyone
would know if they were bullshitting, right, Okay, So we
end up going all over this town, right, and me,
I'm the only like visible minority there, and Aaron's staring
(52:57):
at me, right, he's holding I had mister arian boy, right,
And I'm like we have to go. I really, you
know your parents aren't here, and I drove, so we're
gonna go, and he like, and he's finally resigned the
fact that I was right, right, So then we go
(53:18):
and he goes, no, don't we should, Let's stop at
the pub before we go. We stop at the pub.
It's booming. It's loud. It's like you could hear it
from outside. Everyone was talking really really loud. I walk
in with him and the whole place goes silent, and
(53:39):
they watch me and we They continue to watch me
until we sit down at our table, and then as
soon as I sit down and we're settled, then it
becomes buzzing again. And he then the guy was dating
because like, I gotta go the washer. I'll be right back.
(54:01):
And I'm like, actually, I'm not comfortable here, So if
you're not in my car in five minutes, you're gonna
walk your ass back to Red Dear because I'm not
staying here any further. Right, So, all I knew is
I needed to get out of there, and I need
to get out of there fast, right, So there's all
(54:24):
these things right that I get told and I even
had a premonition about being in a car accident, getting
rear ended. I was really again It really freaks me out,
especially if it has to do with me, because if
I had my children in my car, right, it really
(54:46):
is quite daunting because I'm like, hey, you want me
to do this work. You want me to talk about,
you know, being spiritual and helping others awake, like wake
up and be you know, more within their bodies so
that they can hear the things that I do. But
obviously maybe not at the same extent as I can.
(55:11):
I'm like, you can't hurt my family because I won't
be able to do this, right. So there's so many
different things like just you know, I pray and I
get shown these things and then it's like tell people
this and tell people, you know, like again, we as
(55:32):
a collective society need to start living in love so
that we can love everyone around us, right, And everyone's like, yeah,
but everyone else isn't doing it. But what I am
guided to tell and this is part of this podcast,
(55:54):
is you know what it all starts with ourselves, right
when we make a difference and we make a change. Right.
And I'm going to say this because you know, like
I'm wearing this shirt and it's the anti social social club.
(56:15):
We got to stop being anti social right and start
spreading love and joy so that you know, more people
can feel loved in this world and not alone, because
we are never alone spirit us with us, we are
(56:36):
you know, we need to start thinking of others as well.
And it's not to be selfish, right, it's just to
be alive and be awake and stay, you know, get
off these things so much that we can't, you know,
(56:57):
enjoy ourselves and enjoy the world, right, and smile at
that person next to us, right, or smile to the
person like next in line to us. So you know,
we are out of time. But I'm going to ask you,
(57:18):
you know, as homework, if you will be kind share
some love, right if you're used to like hiding in
your shell, like I wear this when I go out
after I've done a full days reading readings at a
(57:39):
psychic fair and I'm spent and i don't want to
talk to anyone because I'm just physically utterly drained. Right,
I challenge you, all of you, you know, to say
hi to the person in front of you or at
the back of you, or even just smile open the
door for them and say you know hi, you know,
(58:02):
and if someone opens the door, for you say thank you.
It's just that simple, all right. Until next time, embrace
what fuels the snow. I'm Joan Wyden. You're watching Journey

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
