Ashley from PEN Paranormal shares how her early childhood encounters and hands-on fieldwork—especially at the Garnet and Sally Houses—reshaped her understanding of spirit activity, revealing physical manifestations far beyond typical EVPs. She debunks sensationalized myths, stressing that demonic claims are rare and often click-driven, while meaningful cases center on emotional closure, like helping an octogenarian reconnect with a lost friend. Her team’s approach prioritizes intuition and written documentation over high-tech gear, and they treat investigations as sacred exchanges—closing spiritual 'doors' responsibly to avoid energetic instability. Ashley reflects on her spiritual evolution after personal loss, her counseling background informing compassionate engagement with both clients and entities. Finally, she describes monarch butterflies as tender, recurring symbols of connection with her late grandmother—affirming how paranormal experiences, though unverifiable, offer profound comfort and continuity in grief.
