  • Summary

  • In life, I am a Canadian Esoteric Teacher and Channel to the Aether. I am also a supernatural nerd. My interest with the unknown began when I was a kid, due to having my own misunderstood psychic experiences. My life long study of the strange and unusual has prepared me for the work I am called to do now; taking me places other lightworkers won’t go. This has taught me about how many fallacies the masses believe about the paranormal. I am here to take the Hollywood out of the world of the supernatural.

  • Water Babies of Cannon Beach with a Side of The Bandage Man

    Water Babies of Cannon Beach with a Side of The Bandage Man
    Feb 22 2025

    Back in September of 2024, a friend tag me in the commentssection of an Instagram Reel with the comment quote “Have you heard of this?? Sounds gnarly” unquote and I was immediately intrigued.

    The reel was creepy, dark, unsettling and it had my Spideysenses tingling.

    Due to my obsession with all things strange and unusual, there are very few urban legends or local haunts that I have not heard about. But they are out there. So, when something like this reel comes into my consciousness, I am drawn to find out more.

    In today’s episode, I am going to deep dive into an urbantale that is finding its ways out of the corners of the internet and into our collective hive mind.

    Have you heard of the Water Babies of Cannon Beach?

    And what do you know about The Bandage Man of Highway 101?

  • Houdini vs. Spiritualism

    Houdini vs. Spiritualism
    Jan 1 2025
    In this episode, I am going to explore the second half of Harry Houdini’s life mission. Utilizing his knowledge of illusion and magic, Harry Houdini made it his personal agenda to expose the fakes, frauds and charlatans of the American spiritualism movement of the early 1900’s. How well do you think you know Harry Houdini? www.wynnethornley.com Audiobooks I found helpful: https://open.spotify.com/show/2cwkBqUDz8aPEcSqQqf3M1?si=f11f316f97db477b https://open.spotify.com/show/6AmEOtBXK15zcPWebV8FXT?si=319953aa285a491e Just a few Articles and Websites I found helpful: https://www.intervalmagic.com/houdini/articles/1926_02.27.html?form=MG0AV3 https://www.jstor.org/stable/43306017?form=MG0AV3 https://www.wildabouthoudini.com/2012/09/harry-houdini-master-of-disguise.html?form=MG0AV3 https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/spiritualism https://www.wildabouthoudini.com/2019/06/the-mama-message.html https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/in-1926-houdini-spent-4-days-shaming-congress-for-being-in-thrall-to-fortunetellers?form=MG0AV3 https://archive.org/details/BostomMediumMargery https://yalebooks.yale.edu/2020/03/11/did-houdini-really-die-after-being-sucker-punched/?form=MG0AV3 https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/history/happy-national-magic-day?form=MG0AV3 https://www.wildabouthoudini.com/2015/03/houdinis-death-certificate-online.html?form=MG0AV3 https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/history/celebrating-life-harry-houdini-who-died-october-31-1926?form=MG0AV3 Music Credits; Myst on the Moor by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4104-myst-on-the-moor License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Sovereign by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4397-sovereign License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ March of the Mind by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4020-march-of-the-mind License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Ghost Story by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3805-ghost-story License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Cryptic Sorrow by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3568-cryptic-sorrow License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

  • Bloody Mary Ritual; Who was she really?

    Bloody Mary Ritual; Who was she really?
    Jul 23 2024

    In the last few episodes Of the Dark Side of Lightwork, I will offer a short series exploring some of the things from the paranormal world that piqued my curiosity and scared me deeply at the same time.

    The third, and final, topic in this series will explore the origin story of a woman that almost every teenage girl has tried to summon at least once in their lives.

    Have you heard of Bloody Mary?
