Hi, I'm John Russell, proud member of The Authors Guild.
I'm the author of the multi-award-winning and best-selling books:
Riding with Ghosts, Angels, and the Spirits of the Dead
A Knock in the Attic
20 Ways to Increase Your Psychic Abilities
and coming soon in 2024, TWO NEW BOOKS: The Crying Tree and the Magic Rock and also The Can Sack Ghost. Stay tuned!
I've been an internationally known professional psychic and medium for 50 years. As a paranormal investigator I've experienced over 1,000 physical supernatural manifestations. I have provided psychic readings for clients in over 40 countries. For over 18 years I've also been a featured guest on many popular radio shows and podcasts, including multiple appearances on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, and I filmed a TV pilot for The History Channel in which I psychically explored the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.
