Psychic on Your Couch- Brooklyn Paranormal Group
Posted on July 25, 2018 by Val
All day Saturday July 21, it threatened to rain. The sky was an illuminated, swollen gray that was seeping thick humidity all over the South Slope. This was remarked upon quite a few times by members of the Brooklyn Paranormal Society, as we waited on a strangers couch to have our fortunes.
That day, 8 members of the BKPS were meeting in Alex’s apartment for a session of Psychic-On-Your-Couch, Alex being an especially kind host and a member of the BKPS who chose to open his and his husband’s home for the event.
From the start, the atmosphere was both intimate and clinical. While we were offered carrot sticks and hummus, Anthony, Chief Ectoplasm Officer, bustled around the cozy living room setting up cameras, wires, candles, and a fog machine. While a pet parakeet hopped across the couch and people’s shoulders, LahLuna, the resident tarot reader, burned sage and shuffled through her cards.
For those of us not working, there was not much to do besides chat and fill up on carrots and blueberries. Things were chilly at first, but the atmosphere warmed as the event went on, and especially after the fortunes started being told.
I was the first to meet with psychic Mary Amy. I was called into the bedroom which had been transformed into a shadowed, candle-lit den of mysticism complete with a cloth covered low table that separated Mary Amy and I.
We sat on the ground across from each other as Anthony finished the final touches with the lighting. Then, she asked to take my hand.
She was kind and even voiced as she held my hand and described what she sensed. I won’t get into what Mary Amy told me specifically, but I will remark on the experience.
My only job was to say a few words in order to allow me to tap into my spirit.
She told me a lot. Along with some helpful chime-ins from Anthony and his EVP app, I left the reading with quite a bit to think about. She gave me a vision stone to help me with introspection, and suggested I paint a still life of fruit.
After three more readings, Mary Amy had to leave. She hugged everyone as she left, which surprised me a little since I knew she had to touch someone in order to read them. Still, I was glad to give it to her. Hardly anyone spoke about their experience with her, and little by little the room grew quieter as people sat and reflected.
A few minutes were spent setting up the bedroom for Lahluna’s reading. I opted to go first again. We sat together as the camera’s were readjusted and candles and a purple cloth were transferred over from the dining table. The reader waved a bundle of sage around to clear the air and make room for her energy.
Lahluna explained the set up to me, she would be using Oracle Cards and Ascended Master Oracles. I had never heard of those before, but she explained that they had the benefit of being easy to interpret, unlike the complicated symbolism and patterns of Tarot Cards.
Anthony finished with the set up and gave her the go ahead.
This time, I was instructed to ask a question. While it is vague, I asked the only question I absolutely wanted an answer to: Will I have a happy future?
Not only did I get an optimistic reading, but the question launched an in depth discussion between Anthony and I of ways to stay positive that ended in the opportunity to write this article.
As with the psychic, I had a lot to think about when it was done, only for different reasons.
One by one people filtered in and out of the room, and eventually the apartment. After the last reading, six people were left. I said my goodbyes next. I hugged or waved to everyone with promises to see them at another BKPS event. Though I didn’t make in-depth connections, it’s easy to feel camaraderie with people who share such esoteric interests.
I left the apartment with a clear stone at the bottom of my bag, and my head down because it had finally started raining.
> I am going to be selective about what I add in here, I saw you didn’t want anything too crazy put in there and of course i won’t 🙂 I just got these answers back from Mary Amy. Still looking through them and seeing what value they have. – Ant

MARY:
1) what psychic visions of the event did you have beforehand
On any given day I receive premonition signs; exemplary, all my attention is brought to a loud negative warning from a stranger, this tells me misfortune is coming which I must heed these words. The opposite message I’ve experienced, an animal or bird will practically touch me like a deer, cardinal or rabbit. These positive creatures crossing my path show me I am in the right place.
On the car ride to this particular BKRS Psychic Event I had remarkable anxiety, uncommon for me which I was aware of. I questioned what was to come on this
day. During my drive into Brooklyn from Westchester, NY I encountered multiple car accidents blocks from my destination. I considered turning back but continued to the event, my heart had won out. My commitment to this paranormal world lies within me which can’t be destroyed.
2) did you take the weather to be a sign of anything
I believe anything related to nature, wildlife, environment, and weather matters, a sign from the Universe. If it’s raining, my mind reaches to the past, I seek patterns, if enough similarities line up I am alerted. My thoughts rush in a split second through every angle and perspective to check the past, present, and future. I sense if safe, tragedy, collateral damage or evil.
3) what was your impression of Val – your immediate reading but don’t include the weird shit.
My impression of this young woman before me was very blank and solemn. Her face conjured up a frozen expression stuck in space and time, and choking from the ill effects of her life. She was alone and vulnerable in the world. I immediately felt her utter distance from comfort and joy.
4) what did you do when you “set up the table”
To begin a session which means to achieve a complete spirit connection to the reader I must face them, able to look into their eyes and if possible hold hands. The information I gather is not thinking, it passes to me at a rapid speed. During a trance,I tell the messages to the client as quickly as it comes, grabbing as much as I can communicate before it stops.
5) give me remarks on Vals energy
Her energy was stationary, completely motionless, non-threatening like a small innocent animal frozen before for its prey.
6) give me remarks on the camaraderie at the event, what you observed from the people who attended. Did they become fast friends, etc etc.
A very large contrast became evident at this BKPS Event with two worlds separating, the home of a poetic, generous, and friendly couple hosting this supernatural gathering versus the dark depths of closed bedrooms psychic readings, completely shaded with only a candle breaching light. The gathering of strangers holding a common bond of this ghostly event gave me a comfortable feeling.
7) What is the crystal you gave Val, explain what it is and does and why you gave it to her.
A clear crystal quartz gemstone retains healing properties and gives off clarity and purity if placed on any of the seven chakras in the body. The vision gem will help elevate thoughts to manifest intentions. During a session, I give each reader a polished mineral to transmit power and energy. To me, this stone would aid her in her true life and purpose, shifting away the darkness consuming her.
8) how did you feel when you left, explain when you got home, any spirits or energy that followed, etc etc
I truly felt this event was a success for me as a psychic. I believe all the readings gave helpful information unfortunately the downside of my craft comes later during the evening hours midnight to 3am. A dark energy, entity, or spirit has become attached to me from one of the clients. I am woken up to this being, or many evil energies trying to exhaust me with harsh tactics.I must clear the space, physically with sage and recite prayers, and mentally by placing white light in my home and crosses. Being an empath too I am extremely sensitive to all things. The powerful darkness loomed around me until late Sunday, until I finally pinpointed the source of its staying power, a short video from the event capturing this entity. After I deleted the video it left me.
