One of our favorite storytellers from over 20 years of doing these shows,

T.I. Shippers joins us next on the paranormal podcast.

Welcome to the show. I am Jim Harold and so glad to be with you once again. And you know, over the decades now of doing the show, I've developed some of my favorite paranormal people, people who are always a delight to talk to. They always have something interesting

to say. And we have just such a person with us today. And I am talking about T.I. Shippers. And we're

glad to have her with us today. She is the author of the recent book, Grace in the Cabin, based on a true ghost story.

And we're so glad to have her with us.

Once again, now, if TI is familiar to you, maybe it's from that great roadhouse saloon story,

which is probably my all-time favorite campfire tale.

Born and raised in Chicago, Ti was the third of 10 children

and a multi-generation family of storytellers. She grew up in a Victorian home said to be filled

with spirits, an experience that helped awaken her lifelong ability to see and communicate

with those beyond the physical world. A retired early childhood educator of 40 years,

accomplished songwriter and traditional American music performer

and longtime public servant in northern Michigan.

She has spent decades sharing her gifts as a spirit medium,

helping both the living and the dead find peace.

And we're so glad to talk to her

once again, this time talking about grace in the cabin. Ti, always so good to talk to you.

Great to see you, Jim. I love talking to you, too. So the feeling is mutual. The feeling is mutual.

Now, talk to us about delving. I mean, I know this is a book and a series. Getting into authorship and how that came about for you and why you decided to make that plunge in your life.

Sure. So I'm as a storyteller, I tell a lot of ghost stories, paranormal stories from my own experiences.

And my children asked me to write them down so that, just to preserve them.
