Confessions of A Reluctant Ghost Hunter ~ A Cautionary Tale
Join Supernatural Girlz Patricia Baker & Helene Olsen as they speak with Von Braschler a very reluctant ghosthunter! Despite early recognition of his own psychic sensitivities and ability to see spirits, Von Braschler did not seek to become a ghost hunter. He embarked on this path through a "chance" encounter with a professional ghost hunter. After training with her, he returned to Oregon where he began exorcising ghosts for friends and acquaintances and quickly stumbled upon forces far beyond his level of experience. Sharing his true story of what can go wrong when ghost hunting, Braschler will discuss his training sessions with the professional ghost hunter and details his most difficult and dangerous attempts to remove spirits from haunted buildings, including an old church in Portland and an herbalist’s trailer on Mount Hood, where he encountered a spirit known to choke people in their sleep. Braschler provides practical lists of what to do and what to avoid when removing ghosts from a haunted building; how to identify what kind of spirit you are dealing with; whether it is safe to attempt removal, and how to approach the ghost and convince it to leave. Detailing his own intense and sometimes hellish battles with unseen spirits, he cautions those who try to contact ghosts and spirits purely for entertainment. Von Braschler, a former faculty member at Omega Institute for Holistic Studies, has led workshops throughout the United States and the United Kingdom. A lifetime member of the Theosophical Society, he is the author of several books, including Seven Secrets of Time Travel. He lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.
