Pre-Christmas gifts from family! In “How to Kill a Witch”, Zoe and Claire from the popular podcast “ The Witches of Scotland”, unravel the process of identifying, accusing, trying, and executing women accused of being witches. The new book I’m working on will address women’s issues in the 1800s.

Christmas was virtually banned in Scotland for around 400 years-from the end of the 17th century to the 1950s. It wasn’t a public holiday until 1958. I’m sure whiskey drinking went on anyway. (Source: Scots Magazine) #Christmas#Scotland#ancestors

A Christmas tradition in Dundee, Scotland, home of my ancestors, was giving a gift of a herring wearing a dress! The fancier the frock the better, with many wearing crinolines or dressed as brides. Then the herring was hung above the front door for one year. This one is wearing a knitted fish suit.

Recent review: “Having recently lost my mom, I was attracted to Ms. Blair’s book as an additional way to process my own grieving. I finished Psychic Ancestry determined to go back to my mom’s big leather suitcase of ancestral photos with loving curiosity and a sense of wonder.”

Today I visited the Morris Pratt institute, first school of spiritualism in the country. The book “There is a River”, the story of Edgar Cayce is part of their library. This book was my introduction to the famous clairvoyant. The A.R.E. (Edgar Cayce Institute) still exists in VA & is going strong!

A few of my Scottish ancestors were Freemasons, in Scotland and America. The Masonic community works to help people in need, within their societies and communities. Now more than ever we need to do the same. #helpothers

My new eerie tale on Substack @Psychic Ancestry: Walk the halls of haunted Muirdale. Once a TB sanitorium, and briefly a place for the mentally ill. A recurring dream becomes reality in this frightening building. #ghosts#Halloween#scarystories

I received a signed copy of this book by Dan Aykroyd’s dad Peter. Ghostbusters was based on this true story of their family. They conducted seances in the parlor of their farm. Mediums in the family, ghosts, and many paranormal events. This well written book is a wealth of info on Spiritualism.

It’s remarkable that we can connect with the spirits of our ancestors, simply by paying attention to our intuition. Subtle feelings, hunches, and nudges can lead to unexpected results if followed. #spirits#ancestry#psychicancestry

My recent visit to Crested Butte cemetery, which has a hitchhiking ghost. He’s a resident of the cemetery and asks for a ride to the town of Gothic. He asks drivers, “What do you call this wagon?”
I have many stories from the locals and will start to write them soon! #Coloradoghosts

One ghost story led to another today in Crested Butte. Bartenders and other locals all had stories to tell. I’m doing more research here this week. Miners, brothels, bars and the mountains make for wild tales. #Colorado
