"Nowadays even presidents, vice-presidents, and heads of big agencies are opening their minds to accept psychic phenomena, because they know it works." - Uri Geller Christopher Robinson - Dream Detective/Premonition Man - His NDE experience and decades of becoming fluent in deciphering dream codes have given him the confidence and assurance to confront - with evidence - detractors and built-in barriers inherent within the science community. His PSI abilities offer a definite edge.    We don't get into the run ins he has had with skeptics, he does address that in the book. As a media person, it is disappointing to see how easy it is to acquire automatic credibility with the skeptic label. Attitude without evidence. No experience required. I challenge that by seeking out those who defy the odds to produce consistent results that keep skeptics (the downside) employed. The Premonition Man. Website. Book. Amazon Affiliate Link. About Chris: "The whole lifetime of Christopher Robinson, also known as The Premonition Man, has been an experiment in 'Communication' with the 'Other Side', mainly via his thousands of nightly, highly accurate, precognitive, lucid dreams." Authors Grant and Jane Solomon are also authors of The Scole Experiment, A five-year scientific investigation seeking evidence for Consciousness in the Afterlife and Hyperlife. Website.   Jeffrey Mishlove has a few interviews with Christopher, including the live stream interview: Further Inside the Mind of a Psychic with Christopher Robinson. YouTube Link.   *The 9/11 Precog Dream* Chris mentions working with Tom Drake. Senior Executive, US National Security Agency (Signals Intelligence). Decorated United States Air Force and United States Navy veteran. Whistleblower. 2011 recipient of the Ridenhour Prize for Truth-Telling. Co-recipient of Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence (SAAII) award. George Knapp interviewed Tom. YouTube audio. "Through my work I got to know Chris Robinson, who's a precognitive psychic. He has a unique ability. It's still not well understood. He was having these dreams. And one of the dreams was the towers being hit. He'd actually gone to the US Embassy. And he had also gone to authorities in the UK. That information was openly shared with US Authorities. PRIOR to 9/11. And it was IGNORED." Christopher sent me copies of his dreams, several newspaper headlines, and the explicit warning [to humanity] from the ET grand master to share on my blog. I'll add an updated link when it posts.

  In this episode, Patrick reviews a few vintage books on parapsychology and Extra-Sensory Perception (ESP), shares the spooky family stories inspired by a recent mediumship reading, and interviews longtime listener/friend/librarian Susan Davy on why you need to check out Uncanny. Uncanny, produced by Danny Robins, is an incredibly popular podcast/book/TV series from the BBC. Visit BigSeance.com/234 for more info. Other Listening Options Direct Download Link   In this episode: Intro :00 About today's episode! :51 Inspired by past guest and parapsychologist, Dr. Callum Cooper, Patrick recently read two books on parapsychology, and wanted to share his thoughts. The two books are Parapsychology: The Controversial Science (1991) by Richard S. Broughton, Ph. D. and Extra-Sensory Perception After Sixty Years: A Critical Appraisal of the Research in Extra-Sensory Perception (1940) by J.G. Pratt, J.B. Rhine, Burke M. Smith, and Charles E. Stuart. Next up is the even earlier groundbreaking book, Extra-Sensory Perception (1934) by J.B. Rhine. 1:43 Patrick recently had a mediumship reading from Jen Piwowarski, a listener who is also a budding new medium. This reading inspired some interesting stories that Patrick wanted to share with you. 6:44 The cake stand and a shattered glass: The poltergeist activity that Patrick's Great Aunt remembers from a time when he was still in the womb. 7:37 A spooky and sad story from Patrick's Great Grandma's old farmhouse. True? Embellished? The tale has passed through the family over the years. 9:02 Pour the tea for Patrick's conversation with longtime listener, librarian, and friend of the podcast, Susan Davy! 12:23 Susan was one of the very first listeners to call in and use the show's hotline! Did you know the show has a hotline? It's 1-775-583-5563. 13:23 Susan recently introduced Patrick to Danny Robins and the Uncanny. It's a book (Into the Uncanny: A Real-Life Investigation Into the Paranormal), a  podcast (Uncanny), and as of this week, if you live in the UK, a new television show (Uncanny). 15:32 Susan Davy is a librarian by trade, and here's her pitch as to why Danny's work and the Uncanny is something you need to check out! 17:06 The audience is allowed to contribute to the cases in the Uncanny. Plus Room 611 and #BloodyHellKen. 21:00 For American's in particular, you'll be excited to learn that these stories aren't from the same old haunted locations. They're all new to us! 23:43 Danny Robins, a writer by trade, isn't afraid to be funny, and he podcasts from a shed. 25:55 There are two years of episodes to binge if you're just getting started! 28:26 In most episodes, Danny features at least two experts to discuss the week's story. One is usually more on the skeptic side (often Ciarán O'Keeffe), and the other tends to be more open to believing. Evelyn Hollow is one of the experts often featured, and Patrick has reached out to her for an interview. By the way, he's reached out to Danny Robins' team as well. He's gotten a response and hopes to be able to schedule an interview soon! 28:50 The Uncanny TV series just dropped on BBC Two in the UK! 31:30 UncannyCon! 33:01 Next up! Susan shares several of her own paranormal experiences, beginning with a frightening McDonalds trip that has caused her to avoid a particular bend in the road ever since! She later did research and found that reports of seeing that same apparition go back to at least 1878! 34:25 Susan describes the apparition, which reminds Patrick of an incredibly real dream from several years ago, in which he was gifted the experience of seeing a glowing apparition. 39:02 “Your Highness”, a funny paranormal experience. 45:30 What's your favorite dessert? (Shoutout to Anne and Renata!) 47:40 When you're having a GREAT hair day! “I just heard, in my right ear, a mixture of what I will say is ‘ha ha ha' and a belch.” 51:33 A bowing, servant ghost. 54:15 Go to the library! Read a book such as This House is Haunted: The True Story of the Enfield Poltergeist by Guy Lyon Playfair, Is There An Afterlife?: A Comprehensive Overview of the Evidence by David Fontana, or The Scole Experiment: Scientific Evidence for Life After Death by Grant and Jane Solomon. 56:12 Outro 59:28 A special THANK YOU to Patreon supporters at the Super Paranerd and Parlor Guest level! 1:00:46   The Big Seance Podcast can be found right here, on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn Radio, Amazon Music, and iHeart Radio.

On Dictionary.com, lexicographer Jane Solomon explains that the word influencer has been used in English since the mid-1600s, though back then it wasn't a job title. In recent years, the term has become a catch-all for a certain kind of career track that is at the center of a burgeoning but profitable industry. As influencer continues to expand in English and pull new terms and meanings into its orbit, it is worthy of charting from a lexical perspective.

Blatherskite - “A person who talks at great length without saying much of sense.” Basically, a blatherer. What a great word. Definitely my favorite word du jour. Do you know what makes this word even better? The amazing route it took to reach our fair shores. Originally a pseudo-Scottish insult, the word became popular through a song, Maggie Lauder, that was popular with American troops during the Revolutionary War! You’ve GOT to listen to episode 64 of the Vocabbett podcast, which features a popular modern rendition of the song.

Dictionary.com has added emoji definitions to its site, and I have an interview with the lexicographer behind the decision, Jane Solomon.
