Summary

Kathleen Berry’s journey into the paranormal began with a single night at Nevada’s Goldfield Hotel. Once skeptical and struggling with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, she joined a TV news crew as an impartial observer—only to encounter eerie phenomena that challenged her beliefs. A psychic declared her "third eye" awakened, forcing her to reconcile these experiences with her evangelical faith.

Today on the Grave Talks, a conversation with Kathleen Berry about her book, A "Reluctant Spirit: A True Tale of God, Ghosts and a Skeptical Christian" and how one night changed her life. This is Part Two of our conversation.

You can get her book on Amazon and get more information about Kathleen at her website, kathleenberry.com.

0:53.8	And then it even turned out a good friend of mine
0:57.1	was incredibly psychic. And she had never told me before because she was afraid I'd judge her.
1:04.1	And then she could see what I went through and what I encountered. And she was a great deal of help as well.

1:40.9	And I spent most of the rest of the time in bed or on the couch. I had horrible pain.
1:47.9	It was like every aspect of my body was impacted by it. So I had been very ill and he was not
1:56.4	happy that I was going to put myself in that situation of being in a very cold, dark, old building.
