Saturday, August 2: Caffeina's Stage     Speaker Mary Ann Winkowski talks about her life and experience as a paranormal investigator.  Presentation followed by a book signing by the author. Mary Ann Winkowski was born in Cleveland, Ohio and has been communicating with earthbound spirits for most of her life. Her earliest memories include talking to spirits of the deceased as if they were living people and helping these entities cross over into the White Light. Over the course of work as a paranormal investigator, her reputation has spread. Mary Ann is the consultant to the CBS hit television show The Ghost Whisperer (starring Jennifer Love Hewitt). She appears on numerous TV and radio news programs and speaks to many audiences. Still living and working primarily in the Cleveland area, Mary Ann has offered her abilities to those in need as far away as New Mexico, St. Lucia, and Scotland. Mary Ann shows the human side of the paranormal -- stories about ghosts told from the perspectives of the ghosts themselves – and teaches us how we can coexist peaceably with the spirits that surround us. Mary Ann offers lessons on death and the immortality of the spirit that only someone who can actually speak with the deceased could teach. Her abilities have offered solace to countless people, either by reuniting them with loved ones who have died or by removing unwanted spirits and negative energy from homes, businesses or possessions. Mary Ann’s book When Ghosts Speak: Understanding the World of Earthbound Spirits (Grand Central Publishing, October 2007) is packed with information about the spirit world and reveals her often surprising interactions with some very memorable ghosts. Unlike the sensationalized tales of most ghost lore, When Ghosts Speak presents real stories of both the living and the dead -- not simply the terror of sinister paranormal manifestations served up by horror novels and Hollywood.
