The show is still on a break. In the meantime, here is another edition of Paranormal Pinays, the weekly livestream that I do with Lyn Pacificar and Rannie AuGoGo, where we casually discuss everything paranormal and supernatural from our perspectives as magickal Bisaya women. This livestream was recorded back in November of last year after the election, and we thought it would be a good idea to talk about spiritual protection.
We discuss protective amulets, our ancestral markings, the demons that wander throughout Las Vegas, and much more.
For some reason the internet was really bad that day, so the audio is a bit choppy, so apologies for that.

This week’s bonus episode is from a weekly livestream that I do with my friends Lyn Pacificar and Rannie Augogo. We call ourselves Paranormal Pinays, and we casually discuss the paranormal and supernatural from our perspectives as magickal Bisaya women.
This episode was recorded back on Halloween last year, and as usual we started with a topic, in this case sharing spooky stories, and then let the conversation evolve from there. We get into exorcisms, our gripes with the Catholic church, and much more.

LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED. In this episode, I speak with the human witch Janelle Lassalle (and the demon Lilith) about her book based on her real life paranormal experiences, how demons helped medically diagnose what doctors could not, how Lucifer saved her from a Tinder date gone bad, what’s really behind the fear of demonic possession, and so much more.
---
HOLY FUCKING SHIT is a paranormal thriller based on the true story of Janelle's attempt to break a demonic family curse that began when her father kidnapped the CEO of Adobe in 1992. It tells the tale of 'Jennifer Albukhari', a researcher who can no longer ignore her sneaking suspicion that magick—and demons—are real.
Janelle Lassalle is an author, artist, actress and model based in Los Angeles County, CA. She holds a BA in English from UC Berkeley and has been creating content for over 10 years, with bylines in a number of top-tier publications including VICE, Rolling Stone and Forbes. Lassalle is also the author of The Ketamine Handbook A Beginner's Guide to Ketamine-Assisted Therapy for Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, PTSD, and More, a nonfiction work distributed by Simon & Schuster. Learn more about her work by visiting her website here, or view her Instagram @jenkhari.

This episode contains mentions of abuse, graphic descriptions of violence, and brief profanity.
In October of 2022, I had the honor of writing a show for a Halloween event at the beach, where storytellers spun tales for an audience sitting around a bonfire. My stories were brought to life by the incredibly talented actress Nicole Javier, and the event was produced by Eric Vosmeier and David Ruzicka. It was truly a special experience and I’m really proud of what I wrote. So as a special Halloween bonus, I’d like to take you back to that night...
To watch Nicole perform the piece: https://youtu.be/2sXND4QbBAM?feature=shared

Congrats!!! That's exciting 😀!
When David gave permission for the spirit to communicate thru his dreams he should've been more specific in what form he wanted it to take. I probably wouldn't have asked for it to come to me in my dreams my dreams be Hella sexual. Unless the spirit is into that. but all jokes aside I would of asked the spirit to take to the for of a Human girl and for it to allow me to see it in real time instead of in my dreams.
That ghost tryna hit That a**.
I really enjoyed this episode. I grew up watching ghost shows and wondered why the ghost hunters were always provoking the spirits to get proof. Then they would leave the owners of the properties with upset entities. Why can't they access the situation and help.
Zach Bagans is a fraud and a shill.
I looked at the Host. It was good! Highly recommend. Very happy for the recommendation.
The problem with this guys entire argument against ghost hunting, is that it assumes or implies everyone is, or should be a Christian
This is a really good interview.
love love it
"Do you want to see yourself?" that's what I heard anyway...
This episode gave me goosebumps and also made me cry. So good!
just opened my podcast acc yesterday and very happy that this channel's available!! cant wait for more!
That was definitely one of her pets. I don't believe her. That makes me doubt her whole story.
♡♡♡♡♡
Very interesting! I personally believe owls to be signs of the goddess Lilith and I've never heard of a relation to them with aliens.
I have literally been seeing owls everywhere since I listened to this
If owls are an embodiment of a loved ones spirit, then what are ravens?
I just came across your podcast suggested on my feed. Interesting stories - Excellent show
i love this episode so much. i am listening to the episode right now and i enjoying every second
loved listening to her when shebdid snarled and now love listening to her here
