Comment The Post Below...
Thanks for subscribing to the Paranormal Insider. I'll get
to the psychic weirdness in a minute. But first I'd like to
make a rare pitch for a book about weird—humans. It's called
EYEING THE FLASH: THE MAKING OF A CARNIVAL CON ARTIST (Simon
& Schuster, 2006). In this engrossing nonfiction book,
author Peter Fenton (a colleague of mine) takes you behind
the scenes to meet dozens of colorful carnies with nicknames
like Horserace Harry, The Ghost, The Fireman, Talking Tony
and more.
Wonder how the carnival games are fixed? How to get on the
thrill rides for free (hint: it helps if you're female)?
Why you shouldn't eat the hot dogs on opening day? EYEING
THE FLASH tells all, revealing the carefully concealed
secrets of the midway. The New York Times calls EYEING THE
FLASH a "hilarious, twisted coming-of-age-story." I call
it 252-pages of entertaining, informative fun. Now available
in paperback for an affordable $10.40 at amazon.com. Or
your local bookstore.
Thanks for letting me have my say. Now—let's get
paranormal!!!

Napoleon's Fortune-Teller.
It's important to know about old-school psychics. So, with
this issue, the Paranormal Insider inaugurates an irregular
feature about the titanic figures from occult history called
Paranormal People.
Marie Le Normand (1772-1843) was a famous occult diviner
who was acclaimed for predicting the futures of French
revolutionary Jean Paul Marat and statesman Maximilien
Robspierre. Marie read Napoleon's horoscope and later
established a salon in Paris where she read fortunes in
the cards for wealthy clients. After the fall of Napoleon,
Marie went to Belgium and read the fortune of the Prince
of Orange. However, a dispute with the Belgian customs
department resulted in her imprisonment. Marie died a
forgotten and neglected figure.
Eliphas Levi (1810-1875) was the son of a poor Parisian
shoemaker who initially studied for the priesthood, but
was asked to leave on account of his sexual permissiveness.
Levi worked for a time as a political cartoonist before
turning to the philosophy of magic. He produced a number
of books that are considered occult classics, including
The Mysteries of Magic. But Levi is best remembered in cult
circles for making the important observation that the 22
cards of the Major Arcana of the Tarot appear to correlate
to the kabbalistic Tree of Life. In an interesting footnote,
magician Aleister Crowley, who was born the year Levi died,
claimed to be Levi's reincarnation.
Eternally Youthful Reader Denies She's Immortal.
Hi Gus:
"This is in response to the person who wondered if there
are immortals living in America. I am 29 and look EXACTLY
the same as I did at age 14. Yeah, it's a bummer having to
show I.D. all the time, but I don't believe I'm immortal.
It's just called good genes. BTW: I love the Paranormal
Insider. Wish it came more often! I have been a fan of the
paranormal since I was 8 and have had many experiences!"

Responses to Remote Viewing.
Haya Gus:
"This is in response to the guy saying we need psychics to
offer their remote viewing abilities for port security. The
government did attempt to harness this talent during the
Cold War against the U.S.S.R. But seriously, what self-
respecting telepath would sign up to assist today knowing
how messed up the current Administration is?"
Hello Gus:
"...While remote viewing can be used to learn a great deal
and describe a distant situation and environment, it can't
be used if the target is known beforehand. In other words,
the individual doing the remote viewing can't know what he
is looking at. The protocols that have been developed will
work by keeping the conscious mind out of the way. Which
means that you can't have a focused effort that always
watches the ports.
"During the first Gulf War, the military started using many
remote viewers because the government program supporting
psychic warfare had not yet been shut down. But the psychics
soon realized that most of the viewing sessions were going
to be about the Gulf region and the intelligence they
produced wasn't much good. If a way could be developed to
shut off the conscious thinking process so that it doesn't
try to analyze the images, then remote viewing would be much
more useful."
Hi Gus:
"In your last newsletter a reader wrote that there are
thousands of American citizen-psychics with remote viewing
capabilities who could surveil port facilities from a
distant war room where data could be compiled and acted
upon.
"Yeah, right. And folks with alleged paranormal abilities
did such a good job of predicting 9/11, too. In fact, not
a single one of them saw that disaster coming.
"The James Randi Foundation is still waiting for someone
to win its $1 million prize for a verifiable demonstration
of remote viewing or any other psychic capability."

Dreaming of Dogs.
Hi Gus:
"I'd like to share an experience that broke my heart. Almost
30 years ago, my family had to have our two beloved dogs put
to sleep. Over the years they popped up in my dreams from
time to time. But a couple of years ago the dreams became
much more frequent. I realized that the spirits of our dogs
were still present in this world even though they had under-
gone natural deaths. They were very old in my dreams, which
made me think that perhaps they didn't know that they were
supposed to have crossed over. So I sat down, mentally had
a talk with them, and have not had a single dream about
either one again. Since that time, I have told all of my
new pets to cross over when they died—and wait for me there.
I would hate to have them delay passing to the peacefulness
of the Other Side simply to watch over me here."
Ghost Cats.
Hello Gus:
"I have subscribed to the Paranormal Insider for some time
now and enjoy it immensely. This e-mail is sent in response
to the reader who is visited by stray cats and ghost cats.
"I, too, have a ghost cat in my apartment. This one is dark
or black. I have only seen it from the side or rear. The
ghost cat has slept on my bed. I even saw the outline of
its form on my blanket. It is not around constantly. But it
always shows up when I am experiencing stress or ill health.
"I also have an affinity for cats and currently own 2. Both
were rescued—one from a garbage pile and one from the roof
of a factory. Over the years I have rescued other stray cats
and placed them in good homes. Strays seem to be drawn to
me, although I am fortunate that none have visited
specifically to die with me.
"I believe that departed cats, like their living counter-
parts, are drawn to people who love them. Owning and caring
for a living cat lets the feline spirits know that you
welcome their kind, increasing the possibility that one may
treat you to a visit."
