Learn How to Channel and Manifest Consciously

I hear from people all the time who are having difficulty manifesting the life and things they want.  They are working hard; they meditate, they visualize.  They can't understand what is wrong - why they have been praying, meditating and visualizing for years about specific areas of their life without seeing the results they want. They call me wanting a reading, so I can tell them how to get what they want and when that will, hopefully, happen.

Everyone knows about the Law of Attraction - you get from the Multiverse what you put out to the Multiverse. What most people don't understand is that everyone emits their own, signature, unconscious frequency at all times. And according to the Law of Attraction, the Universe responds to give you more of whatever you are broadcasting. But what if you are broadcasting unconscious frequencies/beliefs that are sabotaging your life/manifestations?

Do you have areas in your life about which you are frustrated? Areas that you have been trying to clean up for a long time? It could be that you are holding unconscious beliefs related to those areas, so that those unconscious beliefs are being broadcast as part of your signature frequency. And if you are broadcasting those negative beliefs, that is exactly what the Multiverse is going to give back to you.

We will explore ways to discover, heal and change those unconscious beliefs, so that you are no longer emitting those unconscious, possibly detrimental, frequencies and so that those frustrating areas of your life can finally change. We will be exploring techniques to heal yourself, your animals, other people. We will be learning how to channel on a daily basis - for the healing of the Planet and everything on, around and in it.

 This 5-part series covers the basics of channeling - be that energy and Light for healing, past lives or those on the other side.

We will also cover information about the shift the Earth is currently going through that will reach its peak on 12/21/12 - and how to manifest the life you really want using that accelerated energy. The energy that is accompanying this shift makes this the perfect time to clean up your frequency and manifest consciously and clearly.

Wednesday Night Channeling Class Series

To meet the demands of those who want this info, I have added another series of classes. This will be the same info, just on Wednesday nights instead of Tuesday. The Tuesday class is still on, I'll just be teaching two different groups, same series, two nights in a row. :)

This 5-part series covers the basics of channeling - be that energy and Light for healing, past lives or those on the other side. We will also cover information about the shift the Earth is currently going through that will reach its peak on 12/21/12 - and how to manifest the life you really want. The energy that is accompanying this shift makes this the perfect time to clean up your frequency and manifest consciously and clearly.

Everyone emits their own, signature frequency at all times. And according to the Law of Attraction, the Universe responds to give you more of whatever you are broadcasting. But what if you are broadcasting un-/subconscious frequencies that are sabotaging your life/manifestations? Do you have areas in your life about which you are frustrated? It could be that you are holding unconscious beliefs that are being emitted.  We will explore ways to discover, heal and change those unconscious beliefs, so that you are no longer emitting those unconscious, possibly detrimental, frequencies and so that those frustrating areas of your life can finally change. We will be exploring techniques to heal yourself, your animals, other people. We will be learning how to channel on a daily basis - for the healing of the Planet and everything on, around and in it.

Haunted History After Dark tour guests and High Park Fire donations.

Haunted History After Dark tour guests and High Park Fire donations. From Thursday the 5^th of July through Saturday the 14^th of July any tour guests paying cash will have 10% of their admission donated to the American Red Cross targeted toward the victims of the High Park Fire. Haunted History After Dark sends huge thanks and appreciation to all the fire and emergency personnel, first responders and rangers for putting their lives on the line for the safety of our wonderful residents. You are an amazing and awe inspiring group of folks. The link for the American Red Cross/High Park Fire Donation site is located at: http://www.denver-redcross.org/detalle_noticias.asp?SN=200&OP=210&id=12198&IDCapitulo=Q4Q26NY21N

Thank you also to Hand Up Cooperative for including Haunted History After Dark in their silent auction Saturday night at New Belgium. Co-coordinator Becki Evans Austin was instrumental in this project and suggested our tour for the auction. We give her a huge thumbs up! You rock Becki! If you are interested in more information regarding the extraordinary work that Hand Up Cooperative is accomplishing in the community by helping homeless and low income residents find and maintain employment, you can visit their web site at http://www.handupcooperative.org/. For the auction, Haunted History After Dark was very honored to be included in a package with the famous Armstrong Hotel and Ace Gillette's Lounge.

Despite the brown haze that has enveloped the valley in Fort Collins, many residents and guests were still excited to take to the streets to learn true tales of the macabre and meet the legends that made history in this frontier town with the Haunted History After Dark tours. They weren’t disappointed! The weekend of the 9^th this large orb (above) was caught on a staircase while on our tour. While another guest captured a bizarre spectral image at the same location. And on Saturay the 16^th one lucky tour goer had a first hand encounter with resident of a ancient grave site in the heart of Old Town when an unexpected phantom appeared on her Iphone right where Grace said a young cavalryman was standing!

If you would like to contribute to the High Park fire and take our tour at the same time please contact us at hauntedhistoryafterdark@yahoo.com.

Thank you to all of our tour guests for braving the heat and the smoke to take our spooky adventure through the streets of Old Town! Enjoy their photos below.

The spirit of young female ghost takes center stage on a Haunted History After Dark tour.

With warm evening mercury readings and blossoms on the trees, spring in Fort Collins is in full gear and Haunted History After Dark fans have been enjoying the mild temperatures with a night out on the town to learn the most haunted and historic tales of Old Town - like Jonathan at left. Hopefully, it looks like the nights hovering together in front of a historic brothel or on top of an ancient grave site in a snow storm are behind us. But, we definitely made some cozy acquaintances.

Speaking of cozy meetings, on the Saturday April 7^th tour, a young female spirit at one of our locations decided to make her presence known to our guests in a big way. Haunted History After Dark almost always makes a stop at this location, and throughout the year our guests have had many paranormal experiences at the structure. Earlier in the week, our ghost whisperer and paranormal expert, Grace, was aware of many - possibly dozens - of ghosts decending on the group while on the tour at this site. But on this night, this one was extraordinary. It was a ghost of a young girl who possibly was a visitor to this location while she was alive. This site was a dance hall after 1917, and she may have spent much time at this place. While Grace was talking about this spirit in our presence, an overwhelming scent overtook one visitor, Deanna.  Eventually Deanna smiled and pointed to her immediate left and said, “She’s right here. I can feel her. I can smell her too.” This brave participant also said, “I recognize that smell. It’s powder. It’s perfumed. It’s what they would have used back then.”

Amazingly, other guests, completely unrelated to each other, were able to detect the same scent as well. The aroma of a sweet talcum permeated a distinct area, approximately 4 feet high (the height of a young girl) and about a foot and half in diameter. The scent would move with the crowd, get stronger, and then disappear.

Deanna’s daughter, Lisa, (at right) reacted by saying, “I used to live in an “active” house and now I can feel things like this. But, this one’s kind of freaking me out!”

Through research, Haunted History After Dark has been able to pinpoint at least one death that occurred at this location during its construction. But, according to Grace, the spirits that inhabit this very haunted place are either contemporary or those who have memories of it when it was the heart of the social environment in Fort Collins.

We want to thank all of our Haunted History After Dark guests this last week, and especially the young female phantom visitor who gave all of us a wonderful peek into the past. Enjoy the photos below.

Just as some of our spirits do, Jonathan almost disappears into the white graffiti at this haunted location on our tour. The building that he is leaning on has been here since 1891. Dad, Dan, is next to him. This is the site of an 1880's jail.

This courageous crew above was part of the Thursday tour.

At the site of one of the most famous, early brothels in Fort Collins history, the woman fourth from the left (listening intently) is a Fort Collins historian and literal encyclopedia on the brothel history of Fort Collins. Haunted History After Dark got an enthusiastic "thumbs up" from this participant, and we were so honored to have her along on our tour! 

Another enthusiastic Haunted History After Dark fan, Celia from Fort Collins (above), was not on a tour, but recognized us on the streets of Old Town Saturday and stopped for a hug! Hugs are free, and we welcome them!

Thank you so much to all the Haunted History After Dark guests! We look forward to a fun spring and summer bringing you the most haunted and historic tales of Fort Collins' history!

Ghosts of Christmas Past

Haunted Holidays! Oops, we mean Happy Holidays from Haunted History After Dark! Thank you so much to all of our wonderful and courageous guests and supporters and we wish you all the best for the new year!

Below enJOY the story of Fort Collins first documented murder which happened on Christmas Eve 130 years ago this Saturday!



The Holiday Season is alive on the streets of Fort Collins. Talented carolers who wander from business to business singing the classic Christmas jingles rouse the Tiny Tim in all of us. Retail stores in full seasonal regalia stir the incessant need for a Red Ryder Bee Bee Shooter like Ralphie's obsession in A Christmas Story. The holiday lights on the trees surrounding Old Town, kept lit with the generous donation of a contributor, make one feel as if they are in a scene from Frank Capra's 1946 classic "It's a Wonderful Life".
 




Old Town Fort Collins

  

Capra's fictitious Bedfort Falls

But nothing ignites the Holiday Spirit more than a good old fashioned Christmas Eve brothel murder. And Fort Collins may be one of the only towns in the nation to be able to add this to its claim to fame. This story involves a well- known old “house of ill fame”, a wayward drifter, and a very unfortunate Christmas Eve party goer.



The date was 1881. With the event of the Colorado and Central Railroad coming through town just four years earlier, the population in the city had grown exponentially from roughly 450 to 1500 and some change. The city was taking on a new character. The Commercial Hotel (now the Northern Hotel) was accommodating early travelers with fifty self-heated rooms. The Opera House Block had been completed just ten months prior and was featuring some famous names such as Harry Beresford (who would later become a very famous silver screen actor), and well-known vaudeville comedian Ezra Kendall. Jefferson Street was the heart of the city with visitors arriving by train and stage daily. This once almost forgotten ghost town was now the “Jewel of the Frontier”.

Business was also thriving in the brothel industry. Houses of “ill repute” were not illegal at this time yet. They wouldn’t be subject to revocation until a few years later by the passing and enforcement of Ordinance #17. But, they were definitely frowned upon. This didn’t stop newcomers or even some of the town’s most prominent residents. Some of those early patrons would have been the railroad workers, the miners heading up to Manhattan Creek west of Red Feather, and those cowhands coming off the very famous Texas longhorn outfit the Goodnight-Loving trail (1865-1890).

Other customerss of these establishments were locals such as Albert Sherwood. Sherwood was an African American cook at the very famous Tedmon Hotel. This hotel had been built in 1880 and with three floors of rooms and 19 bathrooms was touted as the “most elegant hotel north of Denver.”

Now on Christmas Eve 1881 cook Mr. Sherwood had been let out early, had a little money in his pocket and he knew exactly how he was going to celebrate this most precious night. He thought a little Holiday cheer at Lizzy Palmers bawdry house would lift his spirits from working for “the man” and let him cool off some steam a bit. Sherwood left the Tedmon on this frigid night and held his tattered coat close as he walked the approximately five blocks to the establishment of his discretion. This particular place was located on the 300 block of north Meldrum Street (now a vacant lot). He was warmly welcomed.

Sometime in the evening a drifter who called himself “Tex” entered the structure. Tex introduced himself, was kind and polite as he was offered a hard drink. He watched the party from the doorway for a while and graciously took another adequately liquored beverage offered to him from one of the “soiled doves” and employee of the home. He then settled back into a small couch and watched as a piano player cornered in the small dance floor banged out tunes prominent at the time such as Gilbert and Sullivan’s Away, Away! My Hearts on Fire and Oh Far Better to Live and Die.  As Tex put his glass down on a table crowded with others, his eye caught the frame of one of the workers encased in the arms of man with a tattered coat. The couple moved closer and as they did, the woman looked over her temporary lovers shoulder and smiled a red-painted, inviting and flirtatious grin at Tex. Tex took the invite and attempted to smile back, but the couple soon swayed to the other side of the small room. She never saw his rejoinder.

Involuntarily rejected Tex put his glass to his lips and took a long swig. The hand burrowing into the back of his duster and tickling his uncut hair didn’t persuade him to find affection in his new admirer who had abruptly and aggressively stumbled her way onto his lap. His eyes were focused on the white slip and maroon gown that was increasingly getting farther away in the hands of the man with the tattered coat.

Coupled by the rousing lyrics of Efrida Foulds tune Blow the Man Down !” coming from the enthusiastic piano player “…a pretty young damsel I chanced for to meet. Give me some time to blow the man down…” and his third round of firewater, Tex put his glass down, removed the woman from his waist and shoved his way through drunken Christmas Eve revelers to find the smile that would make his long way from Kansas to this frontier town worth the trip.

The rest of this story made history as the documented first murder in Fort Collins history as recorded below in the Fort Collins museum archive.

MUSEUM (GLENDURA) SCRAPBOOK (Christmas eve, 1881)

Fort Collins' first murder took place in a brothel on North Meldrum in 1881. On Christmas Eve "Tex" Lindeville shot Albert Sherwood, a black employee of the Tedmon House. Lindeville pleaded self-defense and was acquitted.

"Brawl resulted in First Murder." "Pistol shots--a dozen or more--shattered the silence of Fort Collins' west side about 10 p.m. A man called "Tex" gave himself up to Lundy, the Justice of the Peace. He was registered at the hotel as William Lindville. Tex was a hard character, a tough cowboy with his face cut and bleeding. He turned his weapons over to Lundy. The next morning (Sunday) a wagon pulled up at the Tedmon House. It carried the body of Albert Sherwood, the Tedmon's black cook, a bullet hole above his left eye--clearly alive. Just before noon Sherwood died, becoming Fort Collins' first murder victim. The brawl had been at "Lizzie Palmer's" mansion--a house of ill repute. Fight between Tex and Sherwood. Tex testified that he didn't know how he came about having guns in his possession. Sherwood had jumped Tex (armed with a razor or a pistol). Conclusion: "The jurors do say Albert Sherwood came to his death, Saturday night, December 24, A.D. 1881, from a pistol shot fired from a pistol in the hand of William Lindville--"Tex"--without felonious intent."

Albert Sherwood left the Tedmon Hotel on a Saturday night Christmas Eve as alive and joyous as the holiday spirit and returned at midnight in the grips of the Grim Reaper. He died at noon the next day on Christmas Day. In light of the events, when Justice of the Peace Lundy was asked why he didn’t send Tex Lindeville back to Kansas on an arrest warrant (which Lundy was aware of), Lundy replied that the “reward money was less than the amount of cost to send him back to Kansas!”

This Christmas Brothel Murder was brought to you by Haunted History After Dark. Hope it gets you in the "spirit", just like it did poor Albert Sherwood.

And as a historian I want to ring out the Christmas spirit in the very George Bailey way, “Merry Christmas, movie house! (Opera House Block) Merry Christmas, Emporium! (Linden Hotel) Merry Christmas, you wonderful old Building and Loan!” (Avery Block)!

 We at Haunted History After Dark are so thankful for all the people in our lives who helped make this venture happen. Haunted History After Dark wants to wish everyone a very joyous and happy Christmas. We send tremendous amounts of gratitude to all that have taken our tours up to now and have supported us. We love what we do but most especially love all the guests who have courageously taken our ghostly adventures through Old Town Fort Collins. Below are some awesome photos of some of those guests.
