Haunted Encounter - Manchester, New Hampshire

In June of 2007, while conducting a paranormal investigation with independent filmmaker Dominic Arena, Dawn encounters the spirit of a man who was a guard / law enforcement officer who passed during the influenza pandemic of 1918 - 1919. The Manchester building housed quarantined patients during the pandemic and was also a courthouse at one point in time.

Dawn was investigating an old, rundown kitchen within the building when she felt a pushback that felt like magnetic energy coming from the other side of the room. As she approached the energy field, she noticed that it resembled the shape of a person. Dawn invited the other paranormal investigators into the room so that they could also feel the pushback of energy coming from the kitchen. She encouraged them to touch the palms of their hands to the magnetic energy, where they immediately felt the “push”.

In the picture below, Dawn is holding an EMF (Electromagnetic Field) detector to measure the levels of electromagnetic energy. As you can see in the picture, the EMF is lighting up and flashing red as she moves closer to the energy.

Look closely at the space between Dawn and the refrigerator. You can see the outline of a person in spirit - the ethereal legs, torso, and head. The second picture shows the rough outline of the person.

After establishing the identity of the person in spirit (guard / law enforcement officer), Dawn had a conversation with the man, who told her that he had worked in the courthouse and then as a guard when the building was used during the influenza pandemic. He told her that the patients were essentially locked in the building and the guards had to make sure that no one escaped. It was during this time that the man contracted influenza and was then locked in the building (that he used to guard) as a patient, eventually succumbing to the illness.

Jesus and the Window Shade

During a particularly rough patch of life in the summer of 2004, Dawn awoke one morning to find the image of a man on the window shade of her bedroom. She rubbed her eyes and looked closely at the large image of (what looked like) Jesus that was hanging in the window.

The image only appeared during the day when the sun was shining through the shade. At night, it looked like an ordinary window blind. Dawn left the shade untouched for a few months and the image stayed intact the entire time. Coincidentally, this occurred the summer before Dawn first started working as a psychic medium in October of 2004. Dawn’s grandfather, friends, and loved ones in spirit - and a few living, intuitive people - had been telling her that she has healing hands and needed to go out into the world to help people. Skeptical, Dawn needed all of the courage she could muster in order to step into the intuitive world, and this image of Jesus helped her understand that anything is possible. 

A Message from the Spirit World

By Dawn Carr, C.Ht.

October 30, 2008

As a psychic medium, it’s my job to be the liaison between people on earth and people in the spirit world. I accept it wholeheartedly and I enjoy the positive energy that connects these two worlds. On Halloween Eve of 2008, a special message came through from the spirit world that also offered physical proof of the existence of that world.

The evening began with a special Halloween performance of my show: Medium Night ~ An Evening of Spirit Communication. During this show, I conduct gallery mediumship for the audience, which is similar to the styles of John Edward and John Holland, if you’ve ever witnessed their performances. I stand before the audience and begin by describing the person who is coming through from the spirit world and then I bring through their messages to their friends and loved ones in the crowd. It’s always a wonderful, uplifting experience for me when this happens because these messages come through with love, compassion and comfort.

On that evening, the show was purposely being held in an old building that was built in 1892. The energy was incredible as the spirits came in one after another with messages for the audience. Halfway through the show, a male spirit came through who showed me that he was hit with something heavy. I felt like his name began with a soft “G” or “J” sound and I announced these descriptions to the audience. A man seated next to me stated that he recently lost a friend to a tragic train accident. With this confirmation, the man in spirit directed me over to this man, who turned out to be Wayne Nye, a paranormal investigator and spirit photographer.

Wayne Nye’s nickname is “The Cemetery Guy” because of his work with genealogy research and the paranormal. As a local “ghost hunter”, he is a member of the Massachusetts Area Paranormal Society (M.A.P.S.) and investigates paranormal activity with them at various locales around New England. Spurred on by his interest in the paranormal, he also partakes in spirit photography, which is the practice of obtaining photographs that contain images of the spirit world. On this night, Wayne was about to receive a message from his recently deceased friend who also came through with physical proof of his afterlife visit.

The man’s name was Joseph Doherty and he was only forty one years old when he was struck by a train as he was taking his nightly walk near the tracks in Braintree, Massachusetts. The accident occurred on October 18, 2008 – twelve days before this mediumship event on the evening before Halloween.

As the man in spirit continued with his communication, I related to Wayne about how this man was in the wrong place at the wrong time. His death happened quickly and with great force, but he said that he didn’t feel a thing because of the suddenness of it all. His mother and another woman were there to greet him after the accident and to explain to him what happened. At first, he was shocked by it all and tried to communicate to his friends and loved ones that he was okay, but they couldn’t see or hear him. He was happy to be able to come through on this night and to talk to his friend at the mediumship show.

Joe continued speaking through me as he told Wayne that he would be appearing in one of Wayne’s spirit photographs. He said that it would be obvious because his image would appear in the lower right-hand corner of the photo and it would be different from the other photos that Wayne would take that day. With this message, Wayne turned white as a ghost and stated that he took a photograph that fit that description on that very day.

Earlier in the day, Wayne and his M.A.P.S. paranormal group were investigating the old building where the show was to be held later that night. In the upstairs hallway, he lit a candle and placed it in the center of the floor so that he could take some pictures. He stepped back from the candle, squatted down and was about to take a picture when a bright blue orb came zooming down the hallway toward him.

An orb is a common form that spirits will take in photographs and if anyone is lucky enough to see one in life, they often appear to be blue in color. I’ve experienced this before and it is quite amazing to behold.

When the blue orb came toward Wayne, it brought with it a gust of wind and he began to fall back from the surprise of it all. As he fell back, he snapped a picture and felt the orb as it flew by his right side. He developed the picture a short time later and was delighted that he was able to capture the image of the blue orb. What he didn’t know was that the orb was his friend Joe paying him a visit.

After the show that night, Wayne approached me with the picture that he had taken earlier in the day. There it was: the image that Joe had described so clearly. The orb was huge and it was located in the lower right-hand corner of the picture. Wayne confirmed that it was unlike any other picture that he had taken that day. He also added another bit of information during our discussion. His friend Joe had heard about my show and he had planned on buying tickets for that evening’s performance. Joe did, in fact, attend, but not in the original way that he anticipated.

We never know how those in spirit will get their messages across, but be sure that when they do, they will always find a way that is both comforting and amazing at the same time.

Spirit Golf!

by Dawn Carr, C.Ht.

August 9, 2007

I had a very interesting experience today while playing miniature golf with my former husband and my youngest son. It was a beautiful day, full of sunshine with low humidity, and it was nice to be enjoying the fresh air.

On the sixth hole of the course, I was told by someone in Spirit that I would get a hole-in-one before we reached the eighteenth hole. I announced this to my family who looked at me kind of skeptically. At the ninth hole, I hit the golf ball and the ball moved right, left, straight, right.....it turned four times before it went in for a hole-in-one! My son's jaw dropped at the insanity of the golf ball's path. He said it looked like invisible hands were guiding the ball - like something he would see in a cartoon. It was awesome! Instances such as this always put a smile on my face because even though they were having fun, the Spirit world was also showing me that anything is possible with them. I'm just glad that I had two witnesses who are able to verify this incredible experience.
