When a hotel heir’s dream of opening the perfect romantic getaway comes with a ghost, he enlists the help of a striking medium.
I’m thrilled to share my interview with respected
psychic investigator, Medium, author, entertainer, and radio show host, Jill
Marie Morris.
SN: You’ve had quite
an illustrious career. I find it downright amazing how one person can possess
so many talents! What’s your secret?
JMM: I’m a hereditary psychic. Both my
grandmother and her
mother had the gift.
SN: You
live in Los Angeles, which I guess makes you a true Hollywood Medium. Hollywood
has always had an illustrious history of hauntings, secret societies, and
paranormal activity. This dates as far back to the mysterious death of actress
Jayne Mansfield back in 1967and her alleged association with a dark cult. What
can you tell us about your experience as a psychic living and working in Tinsel
town?
JMM: I spend a lot of time in the greater Los Angeles area, and I can
tell you there’s a signature vibe in certain places that’s consistent with
dark things. Certain geological aspects and mineral
canyons are known to conduit spirit activity. There are some spiritually
dangerous pockets that are best left alone.
SN: Wow, living in
New Jersey seems downright boring! Who are some famous people that have come through
to you?
JMM: I have had lots of famous people whose essence came
through to me over the years. Some of the more memorable ones were Elizabeth
Taylor, Jim Belushi, and Michael Jackson, just to name a
few. Harry Houdini was one of my favorites. His spirit was incredibly strong
and consistent with his flagrant persona when he was alive. I’ve also
had the famous twenties heartthrob, Valentino and his wife come
through to me when I dined at the Mercantile Room in
Hollywood—boy was he a character! I’ve also encountered the
spirit of Jayne Mansfield. Her car was donated
to the Dearly Departed Museum, in Hollywood and I was
able to pick up on some major activity.
SN: That’s amazing! I would’ve
loved to have been a fly on the wall. In my novel, HAUNTED my heroine, Karly, must
banish a spirit from a haunted inn. As a medium, what’s involved in a haunting?
How do you lead a spirit to the light?
JMM: I start off by conducting a full reading of the property to
see what I‘m dealing with. Banishing a spirit is a strong act and sometimes isn’t
necessary. There are times when the living and dead should learn to peacefully
commune with one another unless the spirit or energy is dark and dangerous. In
the case of the latter, I approach the scenario with rest and preparation,
ready to do spiritual battle. I also know what my boundaries are, and what I’m
comfortable with. On occasion, there’s a need to call in help from someone who’s
educated in expelling extremely dark forces. This includes having the family
contact a priest, or clergy member, or even a demonologist. If I’m handling such
a case on my own, I ground, center and block. I’ll always sage prior to cleansing, but sage only rids negativity, not spirit energy. I also use directives
to show the spirit out of the house. For example, I draw a line to alert the
spirit that they aren’t welcome. A combination of prayers and chants, as well
as meditation, is important. Each individual energy is different. The residents
are also an important part of the process. They must claim their space as their
own and actively participate in letting the spirit or energy know the living
have control over their home. House cleansings are dependent upon the space,
the residents, and the spirit. After cleansing, a blessing is given and I
recommend a celebration to restore peace and positive energy.
SN: Holy smokes
and
I thought my job was detail-oriented! What
should every person know about the supernatural to stay protected?
JMM: The spiritual realm is very
real, and it needs to be respected. It’s energy that’s part
of many different dimensions. We have to be open and remember that
spirits do in fact impact us and vice versa. Don’t dabble
with the dark side, because it will trip you up and create a host of problems
that may not be easily untangled.
SN: I
want to thank my lovely guest, Jill Marie Morris, for all her insight into the fascinating
world of the supernatural.

appearances, readings and her amazing dream journals. You won’t believe the
accuracy of her predictions!
