Evidential mediumship at historic sites raises a tough question: can a medium prove what spirits tell her? Evidential psychic medium Susanne Arens visits Civil War battlefields, frontier forts, and ancient ruins, then digs through archives and museums to see what holds up. Listen as she shares a Confederate soldier from the Franklin Battlefield, a cot and stove confirmed by a museum at Fort Abercrombie, and a hitchhiking spirit from Aztec, New Mexico.

In Her Words

• “If you can’t get validation, you’re just basically making stuff up.” (~00:02)
• “I don’t want to study anything ahead of time.” (~03:10)
• “If you go to the cemetery to visit your loved ones, they’re not there.” (~07:19)
• “Just be open to what you might not know.” (~32:30)

 What Is Evidential Mediumship at Historic Sites?

Three Takeaways

• How evidential psychic mediums separate real validation from vague feelings, and why Susanne refuses to research a site before she connects.
• What mediums say about spirit communication at battlefields and ruins: residual energy versus a real two-way conversation, and why loved ones aren’t trapped at the cemetery.
• How soul groups, exit points, and near-death experiences fit into her view of the afterlife, plus her advice for skeptics.

In Closing:
If you’ve wondered whether evidential mediumship at historic sites can hold up to fact-checking, this conversation gives you specific stories to test for yourself.

What if the messages from your deceased loved ones weren’t just comforting, but actually verifiable? In this episode, evidential medium Michelle Snelling breaks down what evidential mediumship really means — specific names, dates, and even scents that prove a connection, rather than vague “you’re loved and protected” platitudes. It’s a grounded, proof-first look at psychic mediumship for anyone who wants evidence before belief.

In Her Own Words

• “I’ve had it as long as I can remember.” (~00:00:46)
• “It’s like an entire chapter downloaded in one boom thought.” (~00:03:04)
• “There’s no point in making everybody frustrated.” (~00:05:10)
• “Vet, vet, vet. Discernment is everything.” (~00:32:21)

Three Takeaways

• What separates an evidential medium from one who gives vague, generic messages
• How to vet a medium before booking a reading — and the exact red flag question to walk away from
• Why a real spirit “visit” during sleep feels different from an ordinary dream

In Closing 

Whether you’re a skeptic or a longtime believer, Michelle Snelling’s approach to evidential mediumship offers a rare, proof-based way to tell a genuine connection from wishful thinking.

Why does it always come down to me?” Christi Clemons Hoffman asked herself that question while lugging boxes alone into a venue — and her shoulder froze solid for a year. It’s a vivid entry point into this episode’s real subject: the mind-body connection and healing trauma through QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique), as intuitive Reiki Master and QHHT practitioner Christi Clemons Hoffman returns to break down how emotion and energy shape — and heal — physical disease.

IN HER OWN WORDS

“Why does it always come down to me?” — ~00:04:37
“It’s like our tour guide through our timelines.” — ~00:07:27
“I can have joy wherever I am.” — ~00:13:10
“They walk in with a limp, they walk out without a limp.” — ~00:31:07

What You’ll Learn:

How suppressed emotions and trauma create “genetic” disease patterns passed down through families and lifetimes
What the body is trying to tell you through chronic pain, illness, and injury
How a QHHT session lets clients speak directly with their higher self for healing insight

How does a medium prove a message is really coming from someone who’s passed, and not just an educated guess? Psychic medium and intuitive healer Allison Carmany says it comes down to evidential mediumship—specific details a sitter has no way of knowing that later turn out to be true. In this episode, she explains how spirit communicates through symbols, why she trusts hard evidence over vague impressions, and what it’s like when a reading proves itself in ways she can’t explain.

In Her Own Words:

• “I say evidence that the person can confirm.” (~13:02)
• “I’m pretty much blown away by these readings.” (~14:20)
• “The two family members were wearing turtlenecks.” (~16:33)
• “So that spirit influenced me.” (~16:36)

Takeaways:

• What evidential mediumship actually is, and how it’s different from a general psychic reading
• How mediums pick up specific, unprompted details—names, objects, memories—that a sitter can later verify
• Why spirit is said to communicate through symbols, and how a medium learns to interpret her own

If you’ve ever wondered what real evidence from a psychic medium reading actually looks like, Allison’s turtleneck story alone makes the case.

Host Johnny Burke interviews Danielle Worthen Cullumber, a paranormal investigator, psychic medium, clinical social worker, and founder of Willow Medella Wellness, about blending trauma therapy with mind-body-spirit healing. Danielle describes realizing her mediumship at 19 through precognitive and lucid dreams, then deepening it after a post-death dream conversation with an aunt who died by suicide, followed by ongoing communications with other family members. She discusses suicide stigma, observing loved ones’ continued growth “across the veil,” and experiencing “soul contracts,” especially after multiple family deaths in 2019 that intensified her gifts and led her to holistic spiritual support. Danielle recounts witnessing “welcoming parties” during transitions, differentiates earthbound spirits from crossed-over visitors, and explains astral travel and dream states. She co-founded Rocky Mountain Utah Paranormal in 2007, emphasizing ethical investigations, trauma awareness, and decolonizing historical narratives, and shares ways anyone can notice signs from deceased loved ones.

A psychic medium had been seeing visions of a rocket hitting a castle tower in Eastern Europe for two years—then, on the exact day her book on ancestral war trauma was published, a missile struck that very tower in Lviv, Ukraine. In this episode on ancestral trauma and mediumship, Isabella Skrypczak—lightworker, channeler, and author of A Polish Girl in Siberia—explains how her great-grandparents and grandparents have shown her, in vivid detail, what they endured during WWII and the Soviet gulag system, and why that unprocessed pain still lives in her family’s bodies and energy field today.

In Her Own Words:

“It felt like a knife to the heart.” (~24:15)
“War survivors need to shut down so they can survive.” (~14:46)
“Because in motion are emotions.” (~06:28)
“I did sign up to be a messenger” (~21:41)

What You’ll Learn:

How ancestral trauma and generational trauma get physically stored in the body — and even altered in DNA
What it means to be an “earthbound ghost” and why residual energy lingers in places where conflict happened
How mediumship and somatic therapy work together to release inherited pain and heal family lineages

Listeners searching for real stories of epigenetic trauma, psychic ancestral visions, and healing generational war wounds will find Isabella Skrypczak’s account of mediumship and ancestral trauma healing especially eye-opening.

“I had come to the point where I understood there was no separate me.” That’s how psychic medium and channel Jennifer Rose describes the near-death experience that cracked open her spiritual awakening—a health crisis during COVID that sent her deep into trance for hours at a time. If you’ve ever searched for what a near-death experience actually feels like or wondered how mediums separate real spirit contact from projection, this conversation with Johnny Burke goes there.

In Her Own Words:

“I had come to the point where I understood there was no separate me.” (~00:08:08)
“You’re a spiritual being having a human experience.” (~00:08:20)
“It is all wrapped up in love.” (~00:32:07)
“I strongly believe we actually are ascending and elevating.” (~00:33:00)

Three Takeaways:

• How trance channeling and mediumship differ—and why “anyone can be a medium” doesn’t mean anyone should skip the training.
• What a near-death experience and kundalini awakening can look like when triggered by illness, not trauma.
• Why Jennifer believes humanity is in a collective spiritual awakening right now — and what she says is helping us through it.

It’s a grounded conversation about channeling, trance healing, and near-death experience for anyone curious what real spiritual awakening looks like up close.

Johnny Burke interviews Kendra Lockhart, a ministerial dropout and former professional psychic who now teaches “awakeners” higher mind mastery to unlearn collective programming and normalize paranormal experiences through intuition, intention, and integration. Kendra recounts a group prayer demonstration in a church class where the room crackled with an electric presence and her rent money arrived the same day, shifting the faith of about 45 people. She explains leaving professional psychic work because clients used it as a crutch, preferring a coaching approach. She describes childhood clairaudience, including a disturbing entity in a new home urging her to “come to the other side,” and later sensing earthbound ghosts by temperature changes. Kendra also shares automatic writing and dream experiences with “future souls,” including names she later met and a future goddaughter, plus past-life viewing as an observer, emphasizing discernment and the value of one’s physical-life participation.

Host Johnny Burke interviews Carly Ann Carrar, a pagan witch, tarot reader, and medium who has seen and communicated with spirits since early childhood, including a frightening Native American spirit in her bedroom and an early obsession with visiting cemeteries. She explains the differences between earthbound spirits and visiting spirits based on the heaviness of their energy. She talks about how her oldest son has similar abilities and how she supports him through spiritual protection, deity-based grounding, and a cleansing spray made with sage, white quartz, and moon water. Carly describes how her Catholic grandmother encouraged her to explore witchcraft, outlines paganism as an umbrella of nature-based and multi-deity paths with links to Christian traditions, and explains how tarot complements her mediumship while she avoids guaranteeing spirit contact. She shares evidential experiences, including remote-viewing-like spirit contact by phone and delivering a therapist’s message from her abuela, emphasizing open-mindedness and the comfort of knowing loved ones remain present.

What does a spirit orb actually look like on camera — and can you catch one yourself? Evidential psychic medium Susanne Arens says yes, and she has hundreds of photos and videos to prove it. In this episode of Closer to Venus, Susanne walks host Johnny Burke through the grief-triggered awakening that turned a self-described “simple farm girl” into a medium capturing spirit photography, portal openings, and—perhaps most surprisingly—a firsthand extraterrestrial contact experience.

In Her Own Words:

• “I didn’t really know I was a psychic medium my whole life.” (~00:37)
• “I have had a portal open up in our house, and entities come out.” (~05:39)
• “There is really a battle between good and evil going on.” (~07:47)
• “Don’t dabble with what you don’t understand.” (~22:58)

What You’ll Learn:

• How grief and premonitions can trigger the discovery of psychic medium abilities
• What spirit orb photography looks like and how to try capturing spirit photos yourself
• Why Susanne believes most ET encounters “mean no harm” — and how she protects herself spiritually

Host Johnny Burke welcomes Reverend Elaine Sans Soucie, an ordained spiritualist minister, medium, and level three QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique) practitioner, to discuss what happens after death and how her intuitive modalities help people overcome limitations. She describes claircognizance and intuition, explains that spiritualist services include healing, an inspirational talk, and message work from deceased loved ones or guides, and notes the ongoing stigma around mediumship and energy work despite the wider acceptance of practices like Reiki. She shares QHHT experiences involving non-human guides and star races, such as the Arcturians and Sirians, and describes “linking” as an energetic match in which she can perceive what others perceive. Based on hundreds of sessions, she says there is no heaven, hell, or purgatory—rather, there can be a resting stage after death, continued personal development, and the idea that personality carries over (“as in life, so in death”). San Soucie contrasts QHHT with traditional past-life regression by emphasizing access to the most relevant time/place for current life healing through the higher self, including addressing emotional patterns and physical symptoms. She outlines pre-birth planning with guides, choosing lessons and family roles, multiple possible “exit points,” and free will to go “off script,” sometimes leading to repeating lessons such as overcoming addiction. Favorite session moments include an experience described as Jesus conveying infinite love, though she says certainty is based on felt knowing rather than proof. She also discusses beliefs about divinity within each person, “infinite spirit” as source, and Christ consciousness as a way of being not limited to Christianity. She concludes with the perspective that life is like a play meant for learning, with personal responsibility and choosing joy, and shares where to find her online (elainesansi.com, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram), along with show information for Closer to Venus.
