Workshop Presenter - Carol Finch
grew up in a real Haunted House often experiencing:
* A woman's voice askng " What are you doing?" or "Where are you going?" on the back staircase of the family home
* Party sounds-music and voices coming from a long empty bedroom that cut off sharply when the door is opened
* Footsteps overhead where there is no floor in the attic above and much more......
also experienced by other family members
As an adult
* Saw a opaque deer ghost running down a hill toward the road then abruptly bound back up the slope and dissolve
* Twice experienced a Shapeshifter- meeting someone I have known for years but with a different face. I knew in my mind who it was but the fact was unrecognizable. Moments later when I looked again they had their own faces that I knew. Both times I was with another person who also knew the subjects well and they too did not recognize them either until moments later.
* Have authored a ghost tale book. Haunting Tales of Valentown Hall
* Managed Ghost Hunts for The Ghost City of Valentown, Ichabod Towne Homestead, haunted site for over 6 years

Carol has spent a lifetime experiencing those who crisscross the veil between this dimension and the hereafter. Probably you have, too.
"Take the time to listen. Be aware of subtle changes around you and investigate anomalies, don't just write them off with a shrug. Ask/invite interaction with those who have passed (only the good and pure, please) Be respectful-following a behavior appropriate for the days of long ago.
Ask permission to share their space, greeting them politely. Remember - most likely spirits or souls are all around you all the time. WE JUST CAN'T ALWAYS SEE THEM."
