Another True Ghost Story From Tiyi Schippers
|
“Antoinette “Tiyi” Schippers masterfully strings together a series of narratives, told with care and laced with nostalgia, which describe her journey of self discovery as a “gatekeeper” living at the brink of the spirit world. A Liminal Life warms the heart and lifts the soul, and is, quite simply, a beautiful read”.
—Jennifer James of the Common Mystics Podcast “Tiyi Schippers is one of the most connected people I know. Connected with the Spirit World, that is. If you are a fan of all things metaphysical, I highly recommend reading her newest book, Liminal Life. In it, she brings you along on her incredible spiritual journey. It is an expedition that is mysterious, unpredictable, and utterly fascinating.” —Jim Harold, Host of Paranormal Podcast and Jim Harold’s Campfire Excerpt: “Shh.” she said, turning her ear toward the center of the house. “Listen. Can you hear that?” Chris shifted his attention toward the sound unclear as to what she heard, and waited. Soon he heard it too, faint at first, then slightly louder, but still distant. “What’s that?” he whispered. “Listen. Listen.” Lisa put a finger to her lips. After several seconds they heard it again, this time clearer still. They heard a sound completely familiar to them— the unmistakable sound of little girls laughing. Their eyes grew wide with astonishment as they turned back to look at each other. |
