Angela Fae Moore, Marion?s "hillbilly psychic," asks you to see the world through her eyes.
In fact, it?s the title of her new book.
"This is a calling," she said one afternoon at her home, where she does her psychic readings. "This is something I feel compelled to do. I feel it?s a natural thing to do."
Moore, 48, has known all of her life that she could see things differently than others. As a child, she often heard "the walls talking." That meant she could hear the laughter of unseen children and the voices of grownups long gone. She also experienced strange visions.
But it wasn?t until 1992 that Moore started to focus more on her psychic abilities. A businesswoman whom she respected finally explained to her that she was indeed psychic. At that time, she was in her mid-30s, an age when people start re-evaluating their lives.
"I think it kind of increased at that age," she said.
Indeed, her life took a new direction at that point.
Since then, she?s become a respected and well-known spiritual psychic in western North Carolina. Moore is a frequent guest on area radio talk shows and has been featured in several regional newspapers, including The McDowell News, The News Herald and The Asheville Citizen-Times. Her show "Metaphysical Matters" is featured on public radio station WNCW in Spindale. She also hosts a popular call-in radio show, called "Hillbilly Psychic," on Asheville?s WWNC. She will offer pet readings for the Buncombe County Humane Society?s Doggie Carnival in October.
Through the years, Moore has participated in investigations of haunted places. Law enforcement officers have visited her seeking help with finding missing individuals. And people call on her at her home asking for guidance with life?s problems. She can interpret the hidden meanings behind dreams.
Moore once took part in a paranormal conference at Asheville?s Grove Park Inn, hosted by author and ghost-hunter Joshua P. Warren. The famous inn is believed to be haunted by the ghost of a young woman, who supposedly died there under mysterious circumstances back in the 1920s. The entity is called the "Pink Lady." While checking out the haunted rooms, Moore wrote that she felt the Pink Lady?s presence and then sensed that another female spirit was touching her face. A photo taken by a friend at that moment shows a mysterious orb next to Moore?s face.
Recently, she has used her psychic abilities to help heal others.
"Often, I have been asked to lay hands on someone in order to assist a body in need of healing," she writes in her new book. "I feel that we can be used as conduits in this way and can infuse one with healing energy. By visualizing a person in need of healing as surrounded by light and imagining that they absorb the light, we may assist them in healing as well."
Moore said she sometimes notices that her hands become hot during a healing session and, at the same time, she has an impression of their illness or wound in the person?s energy field, which is called an aura. When she sends them her energy, often the people say they had found relief.
"I?m no substitute for a doctor or anything else," she said. "Some people aren?t going to be healed. I?m not doing anything. I?m just a conduit to let people heal themselves."
Now, Moore has put these experiences and others down in a new book "Through Angela?s Eyes." Her stories are sometimes poignant, occasionally eerie and often humorous. She is refreshingly unpretentious in her approach to the mysterious world of the paranormal.
On the first Thursday of each month, Moore will be at Barnes and Noble bookstore in Asheville giving a presentation on paranormal topics. She is also scheduled to do a book signing at Malaprop?s bookstore in Asheville on Sept. 2.
Folks can get copies of "Through Angela?s Eyes" online through her Web site www.angela-moore.com. It is available locally at Earth Heart on U.S. 221 North in Woodlawn. It can also be found at Malaprop?s and Blue Moon in Spruce Pine.
