Summary

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC!

For Michelle Lemke-Budke, the paranormal was never a curiosity—it was part of everyday life from the very beginning.

As a child, Michelle experienced terrifying encounters with spirits she could neither explain nor escape. What once felt like a burden eventually became a calling, leading her down a path as a psychic medium, intuitive empath, and founder of First City Paranormal of Kansas.

Today, Michelle enters homes, businesses, abandoned locations, and even prisons to confront restless entities and help both the living and the dead find peace. Her journey, detailed in Against the Forbidden Darkness: A Medium and Her Struggle to Save Souls, reveals years of chilling encounters with earth-bound spirits and darker forces that refused to let go.

On this episode of The Grave Talks, Michelle shares the experiences that shaped her abilities, the battles she’s faced with malevolent entities, and how she helps others connect with spiritual guides, angels, and the world beyond our own.
