VAMPIRES, YOUR COUNTRY TOO?
Vampires stalk our world, according to storytellers. For most, Bram Stoker's book, "Dracula" was our introduction to a vampire. Nowadays, it's hard to get away from them with the surge of books and films to choose your scary experience.
I've been well aware of them since the 60's when I'd watch the television series Dark Shadows' vampire, Barnabas Collins, sleep in a coffin through the day to emerge at night seeking necks to suck. Anyone else watch it?
Seems blood gathering has been with us for quite some time. Vampire folklore has history from many countries. According to Gods & Monsters.com website vampires have a long history. On Wilipedia page the vampire, the undead, visited people and unlike our Count Dracula image of a a tall, somewhat handsome guy, the vampire "wore shrouds and were often described as bloated and of ruddy or dark countenance, markedly different from today's gaunt, pale vampire which dates from the early 19th century."
In "Dark Shadows" and most other vampire sources I've read or seen, it seems young, attractive women are the main target. (Whew! That leaves me out.)
But in Matthew Abaya's newly released award winning indie action vampire film, "Vampariah", (the Philippine version) the blood sucker is one scary female.
The film is about Mahal, who is a part of an elite squad of skilled hunters responsible for keeping the world safe from vampires and other creatures of the night. Her mission to rid the world of this undead threat becomes compromised when her fate intertwines with an aswang (a vampire of Philippine folklore).
What about your country's vampire? What is he or she called and what naughty things does that vampire cook up? Fresh blood? Followers? To find a list of vampires' names and countries see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vampires_in_folklore_and_mythology
The San Francisco premier showing will be in the historical and most delightfully haunted San Francisco's Chinatown's 1920's building know called, The Great Star Theater." The other night I investigated the theater for ghosts and vampires sightings. The history of the building is murky with one recorded suspicious death. What else did I find? My investigation film will be shown at the premier of Vampariah film on Saturday, September 3, 2016. Do join us for a spooky good time!
Matthew and I met when he filmed my ghost infestation of another historical San Francisco building. Now that was scary! Since then he's filmed three more of my ghost investigations for the Haunted Bay.
No more blood left in my house - move on vampires!

SPIRIT ATTACHMENT: WHEN SPIRIT COMMUNICATION GOES AWRY
For those following my posts on my spirit communication and experiences (many of which are in my book How to Talk With Spirits: Séances• Mediums • Ghost Hunts), I'll write a downside of it. Especially as Hallo Eve (Halloween) and Day of the Dead draw closer and the veils between the two worlds drop and spirits are free to walk the earth.
How a spirit attachment happened to me: Exhausted from book success I crashed and in the course of recovering found a spirit attached to my body.
When the paperback version of book was released in April 2017 I was inundated with invitations to speak at book party events where I read an excerpt and answer questions.
Then I lead a group meditation with the hope of contacting deceased loved ones and would add, "If the spirit moves me, I'll share."
Well, I of all people, a seasoned medium, should have known that wasn't a good statement to make. Eager to contact living loved ones spirits lined up. Almost every guest, if not all, received a message.
If you've seen the movie "Ghosts" where Whoopi Goldberg is burden with so many spirits waiting in line to talk to the living, that's what it was like. "Me, me, me next!"
With the almost weekly events through May and July I became so exhausted mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually - not sleeping well, eating badly, trying to keep up with book party requests and most importantly not meditating and cleansing my energy enough!
I took a couple of months off and delayed book events.
To Heal: My massage therapist and acupuncturist are very aware how to work with me, a psychic/medium. First I went for a massage where an attachment was discovered in my lower back. As soon as she pushed on that area I FELT and then saw a dark energy of a vampire entity.
As the therapist dug deeply (ouch!) I literally felt a great release. But not entirely hence after to my acupuncturist where it finally dissipated. I refocused on my self care and am free of that entity!
It's not the first time those dark entities have tried to invade me, my then young son and my space but and I've always stopped them with NO!! and I SEE you! (they don't like that).
In my book I discuss cleaning before and after spirit/ghost communication and share an encounter with vicious vampire entities in Jamaica plus read in Chapter 12 a lovely sacred Halloween ritual. June Ahern dot com
Where did I pick the attachment up? First know that you, me, spirits and entities are all energy - energy that floats around and attracts and deflects.
I believe the attachment happened at two book parties: one where overwhelming s grief and emotional chaos prevailed. Murder and suicide victims, early infant deaths. In the chaos my psychic energy frayed as I channeled information. At the next one, same weekend a guest told of an evil spirit in a home during her childhood where her father committed suicide. I had already pulled in this entity now added to its energy.
If you open to spirit communication, take care before and after: mediate, and cleanse self and place you are entering. Do not invite spirits to "touch you" as I've heard a medium do. Even a spirit you think is friendly or believe is a loved one might not be. If you think you have an attachment or see dark shadows lurking around and feel frightened, contact a professional medium. I'm back to my book tours in person and Skype. Read more on Events/Media page at June Ahern dot com.
