Curious Cat

Jennifer Hotescuriouscat.buzzsprout.com

After my father's death, I had some strange stuff happen that nudged me to learn about the supernatural. What I've been finding out is life is way more complicated, strange, and wonderful than I'd ever dreamed. The best part? Science is starting to catch up. I focus on the place where science and supernatural collide. What does it mean to be a soul in a meat suit? All episodes are made and offered in love. *All Curious Cat content is owned and operated by Storm Mystery Press LLC

Remote Viewing, What Happened to Pru, and Harm to None

Send us a text This week's episode is two-thirds teaching you the CIA approved method for remote viewing and one-third true, or should I say, Pru crime? I'm being overly dramatic, but the master class I took online to learn the whats and hows of remote viewing (or RV) was presented largely by a woman named, Prudence Calabrese. A year after the filming she dropped off the radar and her company, Transdimensional Systems, the single most successful RV venture, went kaput. I dug into the reasons beh...

Safe and Sound

Send us a text Late last night a well meaning and wonderful neighbor of ours sent us security footage of two guys that were walking around the corner of our property, shining a flashlight onto a concrete wall, talking with each other, going around the house again, and if that'd been it, I'd have assumed they were looking for a lost cat. But one of them flashed his light on our dome-shaped security camera and they quickly left the corner, then block altogether. We paused HULU, thanked the neighbo...

Forgiveness

Send us a text I hope you and your people are well. It's been a helluva month, hasn't it? I'm glad to see the end of it. Like a Clint Eastwood movie, my August was good, bad and ugly. It's consisted of some serious physical and emotional work and in order to not hide in a hole, but face the work, I painted my toenails purple. It's not a color I'd normally pick, but the wild shade helped me to focus only on the present moment, not let my brain drift ahead. I wanted to be present and purple toes w...

Reopening Your Intuition

Send us a text Full disclosure. This week's topic stems from a conversation I had with someone I love. I'm not naming them for two reasons. First, I didn't ask permission, and second, we have such rich, fantastic conversations, I never want them to think whatever we speak of in confidence is somehow fodder for Curious Cat. During that conversation we spoke about something others have expressed to me, the fear that comes hand-in-hand with those first attempts to open up and strengthen psychic mus...

Send us a text This week we are in for a treat. Dr. Richard Sugg is an accomplished author with 13 published books. His works have appeared in The Guardian, BBC History, Der Spiegel and The New Yorker. He has only recently ventured into the podcast arena with Dark Mysteries from the Secret University.

As the summer continues to dazzle with clear lake waters and lazy hazy days, my inner spooky season fangirl is relieved that the days are FINALLY getting shorter.

BONUS EPISODE! Duality and the Schumann Resonance

Send us a text This one was recorded on the fly after I woke up thinking about the BANANAS Schumann Resonance recorded in June. It was like a weaving to me, weaving the pieces of fabric of us together into a beautiful quilt. That got me thinking about duality, specifically the imbalance between the time we devote to our meat suits versus our souls. If you vibed with this episode, listen to these next!

The Courage to Rebuild with Regenerative Farmer and Precious Becca Dickens

Send us a text This week we have a special guest who embodies the essence of Curious Cat. She is a produce and chicken farmer, but she's also doing spiritual work which began with grid healing and evolved into world building. I'm not sure what all that means, but she's here to explain everything. She reached out to the show after listening to the episode, Mind the Gap, and I cannot WAIT to hear all she has to share. I'd like to welcome Becca Dickens of Regenerative Life Farm to the show. Welcome...

CASCADIA #8: Mount Rainier is Outta this World!

Send us a text This week we venture into the Cascade Mountain range just a stitch south of Seattle and Tacoma, north of Portland to Mount Rainier, or what my kids called Mount Reindeer when they were little. Mount Rainier is Washington State's Shangri La. On a clear day it is the unrivaled star of the Seattle skyline. The mountain has served as a sacred spot for ancient peoples, a playground for mountaineers, and has a history of high strangeness. First Peoples describe Mount Rainier as an angry...

Send us a text Thanks for tuning into Curious Cat's very special season three, Cascadia. As the scorching heat of summer continues, I hope you'll retreat with us into the musky wilderness, dip a toe in a chill alpine lake, and reflect on the perfection of nature. This week we travel south to a place not far from the California/Oregon border. Double knot your hiking boots, top off your hydro flask, then douse yourself in holy water or sage because this one is on the spooky side. My first full pan...

CASCADIA #6: Mount Baker the Secret Keeper

Send us a text Have any deep, dark secrets you need to purge in a safe way? Let me suggest you take a trip to the North Cascades, specifically Mount Baker. Find a clear patch of trail and shout your secrets into the crisp clear banks of this peak. She's been keeping secrets for centuries. From ghost towns to missing persons to hidden Bigfoot lairs, Mount Baker would rather erupt than reveal your secrets to a soul. But, like usual I'm getting ahead of myself. Mount Baker is also known as Koma Kul...

Mind the Gap between Death and Life

Send us a text This episode is dedicated to Mike Prudhomme. He was technically my stepdad, but we lovingly called him Super Mom because he did all those sweet, cool, fun, awesome things we thought a really super duper mom would. I miss you, but will keep your legacies of loving (and sharing) music, sports, and being quick to laugh alive. <3 I have a new night job. I’ve been crossing the dead over to the beyond in my sleep. Unbelievable, right? Well, today we’re getting weirder than usual. We’...

CASCADIA #5: Cascadia Sasquatch BONUS with Bigfoot 101, Supernatural Gifts, and Dark Rumors

Send us a text Recently, I had the most incredible conversation about Sasquatch in the Cascade Mountains with Derek Condit. He is the shooting star that owns Mystical Wares in Mount Vernon, Washington. He has incredible healing and psychic abilities, and recognizes Sasquatch as a selfless healer (like himself, I must add). Our rich conversation was an hour long, and even after I stopped recording, my mind raced with more questions. That’s a long lead up to today’s BONUS Cascadia Sasquatch episod...

Blue Collar Spiritualist

Send us a text In the true spirit of, “As above, so below,” Pete, the Blue Collar Spiritualist spends his evenings digging tunnels beneath New York City, and his days boring pathways for others to explore the spiritual realm. Both jobs might invoke fear in others, require proper safety measures and adequate lighting, certain protective measures, and with caution and training, can be fruitful. His bio states that he’s been practicing mediumship for about 15 years. He also does shamanic journey wo...

CASCADIA #4: Sasquatch with Derek Condit of Mystical Wares

Send us a text Cascadia Sasquatch is an enigma wrapped in a riddle, coated with fur. If you streamed Cascadia’s Mount St. Helens episode, then you know I held back the accounts of sasquatch in the area that go back centuries! Battles between two ape men led to the naming of Ape Canyon and Ape Caves. There’s a slew of modern day sightings, too, including at nearby Spirit Lake. It nearly killed me to withhold those accounts, but I didn’t want to short change the subject. Sasquatch deserves his own...

CASCADIA #3: Mount St. Helens a Volcanic, Topless Goddess (43 years after the epic eruption)

Send us a text This episode is dedicated to Grammie Donna, who would have turned 93 years old today. I think she'd like this episode and the description of Mount St. Helens as a topless goddess. I miss and love you, Donna. To say I know Mount St. Helens intimately is an understatement. I’ve breathed bits of her into my lungs and nostrils. I filtered her ash through my ten year old fingers and collected cups of her for god knows what reason after her epic 1980 eruption. Legends about the mountain...

Intuitive Healer, Heidi Stock of Wise Wolf Craft Talks Reiki, Angels, Manifestation and More!

Then, after her family healed, the perfect sliver of time became available. You'll hear little bread crumbs all over this conversation. We both offer it in love.

All we knew when we set out is that her story needed to be told. And then we prayed we’d given her rest and peace finally. Well, today’s episode is much the same. There is someone that passed away ...

CASCADIA #2: A River Runs Through Them (and it's called the Columbia)

Send us a text I grew up in Eastern Washington, a stone’s throw from the mighty waters of the Columbia River. We waded on its mossy rocks to better view hydroplanes as they skimmed the surface, dove down to its murky depths for sweet relief in the scorching summer months, and once, I fished out a slick, algae-covered twenty dollar bill just miles away from the place where D.B. Cooper was rumored to have dropped his ill-gotten fortune. I spent countless hours swimming, floating, boating, fishing,...

CASCADIA #1: 1700 Cascadia Earthquake - The most epic natural disaster you've never heard of

Send us a text Curious Cat's special CASCADIA series begins with the 1700 Cascadia Earthquake. It is the most epic natural disaster you've never heard of! The Cascade Mountain Range runs north into Canada and south through Washington, Oregon and into California. Sitting on the legendary Ring of Fire, this chain of 19 mountains was born in the belly of the Earth, a byproduct of the friction between the Juan de Fuca and CASCADIA plates. Three-hundred years ago the entire west coast of North Americ...

The Strange Blood of Humans

Send us a text I had an odd dream this morning. It was about blood. And unseen psychic vampires that have hunted a particular human with a specific blood type to survive, or maybe increase their genetic pool? It was unusual. Near the end of the dream, I wrote an email to David Paulides, the man behind the Missing 411 investigations, books and movies. I asked him if he’d noticed a commonality in the blood types of the people that have gone missing. Then I woke up. And I’d never even known the wor...

Numerology with Brian Kukan

Send us a text For the last year I’ve noticed repeating numbers. 4-4-4, 1-2-1-2, 2-2-2, and 555. They’ve driven me to the internet multiple times in search of the meaning behind the message. That’s how I first heard the term numerology. From the little I gleaned, it is a left-brained and right-brained science, marrying the spiritual with the scientific which is the backbone of Curious Cat! Ever since, I’ve sought a numerologist to teach all of us about this interesting subject. I’m grateful to h...

Bothell Hell House Survivor Keith Linder

Send us a text Bothell Hell House is a case that any fan of Ghost Adventures knows. Travel Channel rolls it out once a year saying it was "debunked" by the GAC crew, somehow legitimizing the rest of the year's episodes. It is my opinion that they treated Keith Linder badly, that they willfully ignored evidence, evidence that in past episodes they'd used and stretched out to make an entire episode, and I was glad to give Mr. Linder a place to share his experience. Keith Linder is an IT profession...

Hey! Stop taking yourself AND Archangel Uriel for granted!

You may even cough for a few seconds afterwards. 2023 is teaching us to put ourselves first. Like the advisement we receive from airplane flight crews, it’s critically important we take a breath from the metaphorical oxygen mask first before we assist anyone else. That’s the lesson we have to learn, a...
