Basically, it was hell, pure hell.
I never knew what was coming next, where it was coming from or when it would happen.
Instead, I learned to sleep as much as I could during daylight hours after school.
I also spent many nights on the floor of my parents room.
In fact, I still sleep with the lights on to this day.
Thank God my husband is so understanding of my unique nature.
Youre a medium, were you the only person in the house who saw the ghosts?
They were supportive but had no idea what to do about the entities in our home.
Any idea what caused the haunting of your home?
She said this daily bored housewife ritual took place for nearly a year!
What happened to the house you grew up in?
It no longer exists.
My parents put in on the market in 1982 and it took two years to sell it.
Once it sold, it burnt down and was never rebuilt.
Thirty years later, it remains an empty lot in the middle of suburban New Jersey.
Even the address no longer exists.
Could you communicate with the spirits?
Could they communicate with you?
Yes, I had full blown, two-way conversations with the spirits in my house.
It was as if they were alive and breathing.
I was deathly afraid of the demons and shadow people though.
They are no joke.
Smart as hell too.
How long until you got used to it?
That really helped me the most.
I can now sit in a room with a dead person and not feel an ounce of fear.
Does it feel like living in a two family house?
No, my house felt like living in a bus station.
There were multiple entities coming and going all night.
Did you have to decorate for Halloween?
No [laughs], we did not celebrate Halloween beyond the candy begging.
How much of the ghosts personalities could you sense?
I could fully experience a ghosts personality as much, if not more, than a living person.
Could you tell malevolence or benevolence?
Shadow people gave off a slight breeze, like the way it feels outside before a storm.
I know, all very strange, but true.
Was there evolution in the spirit?
No, not that I could tell.
They were all pretty set in their ways.
These early experiences completely shaped my view of religion.
I mean, how could I believe that demons did not exist after meeting two in person?
It was a horrible, ancient word that started with an M sound.
Did you talk to the ghost or read the ghost?
I have full conversations with spirits.
They can be quite chatty once they know you could see or hear them.
What do you pick up from people around you?
Can you imagine the look on my boyfriends face when I told him what the spirit just told me?
He literally shit his pants.
And yes, it was true.
But the time I met my husband, I told him up front that I saw dead people.
He knew what he was getting into within the first 10 minutes of meeting me.
Finally, it worked out.
Can you send impressions into people?
No, I have to use good old-fashioned verbal persuasion for that [laughs].
How did it affect your writing and does that continue to change?
There is no doubt in my mind that my early experiences have greatly influenced my writing.
So whats next for you?
I have plans to write seven more horror novels over the next five years.
Sort of a modern-day Misery with a lot more twists, turns and surprises.
I cant wait to finish and release it next summer.
