Spirits want us to be Smart and Considerate: Louisiana Pastor who decried COVID19 was 'hysteria' dies from it

This past Sunday, April 5, I posted a blog about the importance of praying at home, and NOT going to churches where you will infect people with the deadly Coronavirus (COVID19).
  A pastor who defied that lesson and paid the price with his life from the virus and is now regretting it on the other side. He's also sorry for acting foolish and endangering the lives of many others. But it's TOO LATE. Spirits want us to learn our lessons when we're ALIVE, not after we die. As I mention in several of my books, spirits want us to take care of ourselves AND treat others as we would like to be treated (which means not infecting them with a deadly disease).
  Spirits also want us to understand that you can pray or meditate from anywhere in the world. You can connect to god, whether Hindi, Christian, Jewish, or any other faith - from your own space. Spirits have seen this kind of contagion through time, and people did the right thing (distancing, sheltering and respecting each other) to get through it. Those who do not and are selfish may pay the ultimate price with their lives, as this pastor did.
   Listen to spirit. Care for yourself and others- keep everyone safe. Don't be selfish, or you could be joining spirit sooner than you should, and causing the suffering and death of others.
  *********************************************************
BBC News reported on Monday, April 5, that a Louisiana Pastor who claimed that Coronavirus was a "Hoax perpetrated by the Democratic party to hurt President Trump" (quoted from the President himself and Fox News), died of the virus. THIS should be a lesson to those who listen to people who are not scientists and doctors. Here's the story> ;

Coronavirus: Pastor who decried 'hysteria' dies after attending Mardi Gras

Pastor Landon Spradlin wasn't worried about coronavirus when he went to New Orleans to preach during Mardi Gras. A month later he was dead.
"He loved to laugh. He loved to play guitar. He played guitar even when he wasn't supposed to," says Jesse Spradlin of her father, Landon.
"He was just the best man in the world."
One day when this is all over, the wife and five children of Pastor Landon Spradlin hope to hold a large celebratory memorial for him.
For now they have had to make do with a funeral at which there were just a handful in attendance, including the blues guitarist who played at the graveside.
A little over a month ago, Pastor Spradlin, who was 66, drove with his wife Jean the 900 miles (1500 km) from their home in Virginia to Louisiana for Mardi Gras.
He viewed the festivities as an opportunity, through music, to save the souls of some of the hundreds of thousands of people that would attend.
He was joined by two of his daughters who came over from Texas.
"His mission was to go into pubs, clubs and bars, play the blues and connect with musicians and just tell them that Jesus loved them," says Jesse Spradlin, 28.

"Mardi Gras is like Times Square in New York during New Year's Eve. It's a sea of people just drinking and partying," she says. "He was loud and laughing and in his element."
Over recent years Pastor Spradlin had realised a dream of using the preaching he had honed in churches across three states and taking it to the streets through the medium he loved.
He had been playing instruments since the age of four and in 2016 was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame, but it was religion that he felt had saved him from alcoholism and drug addiction in his twenties.
Those dark years are why he now had a particular affinity for those who felt down and out, something he could relate to.
At Mardi Gras, the family band played in New Orleans' busy Jackson Square, unaware of the threat they faced.
"I don't even remember us talking about the virus," says Naomi Spradlin, 26. "With what's happened we keep looking back, and we didn't talk about it once."
They were not the only ones. Even though it had been more than a month since the first coronavirus case in the US, Mardi Gras went on as planned.

Officials in the city now blame government inaction for what appears to have been a large spike in cases that followed.
Pastor Spradlin was one of those who became ill, but tested negative for Covid-19. Even as he was sick, he posted on social media about "hysteria" surrounding the virus.
On the 13th of March Pastor Spradlin shared on Facebook a misleading post comparing swine flu and coronavirus deaths.
It suggested that Barack Obama and Donald Trump respectively had been treated very differently by the media and that it was a politically motivated ploy to harm President Trump.
Earlier the very same day, the president himself had insinuated something very similar at a news conference.

Pastor Spradlin's son, Landon Isaac, 32, told me that he and his father had talked and agreed about what they felt was an irrational frenzy and fear mongering about the virus, perhaps because it was an election year.
"I want to say outright though, dad didn't think it was a hoax, he knew it was a real virus," says Landon Isaac.
"But he did put up that post because he was frustrated that the media was propagating fear as the main mode of communication," he told me.
By mid-March though, Pastor Spradlin's health suddenly took a turn for the worse. He and his wife decided to make the long drive back from New Orleans to their home in Virginia.
"I spoke to him five minutes before he collapsed in North Carolina," says Landon Isaac.
"I could tell his breathing was getting bad. And I just said that you've got to get home. But he didn't make it."

Pastor Spradlin was taken to hospital in North Carolina where they discovered he had developed pneumonia in both lungs and he now also tested positive for the coronavirus.
After eight days in intensive care, Pastor Spradlin died.
"It's a lot like Dad was our support column and somebody kicked out that support column. It feels like the roof is falling down on all of our heads right now," says Landon Isaac.
For days, he and his four siblings had to communicate with their mother through the glass door of her home. The funeral that has just taken place happened the day after Jean Spradlin's quarantine finally ended.
"We just never thought our father would pass away because of this. But he wasn't the type of person to just live in fear and let it rob him of the joy of the life that he had," says Jesse Spradlin.

Most haunted highways in UK : Part 4: A3 near Burpham, the Cock Lane Ghost

A3 near Burpham, Surrey
The UK Telegraph and Argus news ran a series about the United Kingdom's most haunted highways, and in this blog you'll learn about a few of them and their resident ghosts. This is the 4th of 4 blogs about the UK Highways (By Will Kilner)

 10. A3 near Burpham, Surrey
In December 2002, Surrey Police investigated reports of a car seen swerving off the A3 near Burpham.
They eventually found a car in a ditch containing the remains of a driver, but the motorist had perished some five months previously! This lead to speculation that the sighting had been a ghostly re-enactment of the crash which killed him. 

11. Cock Lane, near the Old Bailey in London
While drivers may not necessarily experience anything on the road, one of the houses is said to be haunted by the ghosts of two women who died in the residence back in the 1760s, so many believe you can still hear strange noises and screams as you travel past.

 If you like hauntings about England, read about MY personal experiences and learn History! -One of my books is called "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation" and is all about the various ghosts I met when I took 2 vacations in England. Available on Amazon.com:

During COVID19: A Medium's Message about Wakes, Funerals and Churches

Last week I received an email from a woman whose loved one passed away and services
are not currently allowed because of the ongoing pandemic. Since I'm a medium, she wanted to know my thoughts and the thoughts of spirit. Well, spirits of our loved ones have an important message. 
Today's blog is a message for those who attend churches, or lose loved ones during this worldwide killer virus.
 
ABOUT THE VIRUS: This virus has already killed many people and can kill millions more. The pandemic of 1918 killed 500 MILLION people, and this can do the same, unless you act responsibly and unselfishly now and stay home. BTW, doctors describe COVID19 as filling up lungs like  wet sponge with fluid, and people gasp for air. That's why ventilators are needed to push air into lungs. Without them you essentially drown in a hospital bed, AND what's worse, is that your loved ones CANNOT VISIT you

THE EMAIL AND MY RESPONSE:  
The email I received said, "Due to COVID19 (Coronavirus) there will be no wake / funeral for my loved one. Some of my relatives are quite upset. Wow. Yeah, that is the new norm this year."

My Message: Although they are upset they can't have a ceremony to "say goodbye" to your loved one, the ceremony is just for the living. The spirit of your loved one has already crossed over and is now urging all her friends and relatives (including you) to stay home and stay safe from this virus.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HONOR SOMEONE: 
 Her friends and relatives should do something from their own home in her honor, whether planting a tree, baking something, praying to her in a silent corner of the house, talk about good memories. The best thing you can do to honor your lost loved ones is to PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS. After all, Spirits want us to live full and healthy lives.

CAUTIONS FROM SPIRIT: 
So, please tell people NOT to attend church services, where they will spread the virus and kill countless others.  Churches don't have "magical protections.Spirits want us to use our heads and listen to the medical professionals.  This is also not a disease of the elderly or infirm. People from infants to 20 and 30 somethings to seniors have passed, and many were healthy.  Spirits of our loved ones want us to be smart and to live our lives. To disregard the medical science and advice will only kill other innocent people - and those lives lost will be on those who disregard the experts.

Be safe, Be Smart. Stay at home. Don't go to churches, beaches, parks, or events. No one wants to die early. .. and don't put others lives in jeopardy because of your selfishness.

My Tribute to Scott Colburn Who Passed this Week- I Just Interviewed with him

Scott Colborn
On Saturday, March 28th, I had my first and only interview with Scott Colborn, host of the radio program "Exploring Unexplained Phenomena." (See below) On Tuesday morning, March 31, I received an email that he had passed suddenly. I'm still trying to process it. If you go to the websites below, you'll see what an amazing person Scott is (and continues to be in spirit). 
  I've been interviewing about my books and experiences for about 10 years, and my discussion with Scott was like sitting with a friend in the living room. He brought warmth and interest in the conversation making me feel so welcome. 
   I'm unsure if my interview from this past weekend will ever appear on-line, but it would be nice to hear that wonderful conversation again that I had with Scott. 
  Losing a friend, family member, or even someone you recently met can be shocking and we need time to process the physical loss. I'm sure Scott is now exploring what were formerly "unexplained phenomena." Now, he can tap the knowledge of the other side. In the meantime, know that he can hear you and see you in spirit whenever you remember him.  
- With sympathy to his family, friends, acquaintances, and listeners. Spirit now has a wise and warm soul.  - Rob 

Following are some things from Scott's Bio on-line: (https://scottcolborn.com/bio

The Exploring Unexplained Phenomena  radio program, broadcasting weekly on Saturday mornings 10 am – 12 noon  Central Time since 1984, is regarded as the world’s  longest-running paranormal talk radio program.  Original host Scott  Colborn and guests worldwide have fun, intelligent and in-depth  conversation on the mysteries of our time in a commercial-free  environment.

“It’s important to keep your mind open, but not so open that your brain falls out.” —Andrew Neher.
“Always do right. This will gratify some people, and astonish the rest.” — Mark Twain.
