Episode 644: “Top MEDIUM Explains REAL HAUNTINGS: What SPIRITS Are ACTUALLY Doing in Your Home!” with Cheryl Murphy
Release Date: December 2, 2025
Guest: Cheryl Murphy, Psychic Medium
Host: Alex Ferrari

Episode Overview

In this compelling episode, Alex Ferrari sits down with renowned psychic medium Cheryl Murphy to demystify the world of hauntings, spirit communication, seances, and what truly happens in our homes when “paranormal” events occur. Cheryl draws on her lifelong experience as a spiritual intuitive, healer, and evidential medium—not just sharing technical explanations, but heartfelt guidance on navigating our own intuitive abilities.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Discovering Psychic Abilities and Family Lineage

Cheryl recounts how psychic gifts are generational in her family, especially among women, with her great-aunt even helping the Air Force locate missing pilots (04:11).
She first witnessed spirits as a child, not as “ghosts” but as light forms; these experiences felt joyful, never frightening (05:44).
There’s a common fear around “coming out” as intuitive, traced to societal and even soul-level memories of persecution (08:19).

Quote [Cheryl, 09:00]:
“On a soul level, they’re like, last time I spoke up, I got hung, I got burned, I got drowned… that’s why support is so important now.”

What Is a Seance? Real Spiritual Clearing

Alex probes the Hollywood myths versus the reality of seances.
Cheryl explains that a seance is less about theatrics and more about raising collective energy to “lift the light” and clear old, traumatic energy lingering in a house or land (10:18).
She shares an example of clearing a historic Southern B&B—where decades of trauma, from hospital deaths to crime, left intense spiritual imprints (13:30).
Physical phenomena (“a deadbolt dropped to the floor”) often accompany the clearing process (14:21).

Quote [Alex, 16:14]:
“At one o’clock, it turned into a Civil War triage… they were stuck in a loop.”

Cheryl clarifies that hauntings are usually “echoes” or “aspects” of a soul, not the full conscious spirit being stuck or tormented (18:21).
Clearing such energy is an invitation—not a command—for healing and transition.

Quote [Cheryl, 17:53]:
“It’s a blessing happening… It’s like a sweeping, but more a gathering into the light.”

The Mechanics of Mediumship

Cheryl discusses the “muscle” of mediumship—just like weightlifting, psychics must build up capacity to handle higher energies (28:31).
Intuitive information comes in many forms: voices, images, smells, physical sensations (21:24).
Distinguishing spirit voices from imagination comes down to trust, subtle differences (cadence, tone), and seeking ongoing validation from clients (23:26).
Ethics and intention, she says, are foundational for psychic work.

Quote [Cheryl, 26:47]:
“You gotta ground yourself… Knowing your own energy is key before you connect.”

The Afterlife: Personalities, Lessons, and Evolution

Discussion deepens into the nature of the soul—how “personalities” persist after death but are really facets of a larger Oversoul (31:58).
Our loved ones on the other side retain their familiar forms to interact with us, but can access memories and experiences from all their other lives (33:06).
Past life information can be called upon “like reaching into a spiritual library” (34:07).
Spirits communicate to heal us—the message is rarely about their needs, but rather our healing (29:59).

The Current Shift in Human Consciousness

Cheryl and Alex discuss the accelerating upheaval of institutions and systems since 2012 and especially post-2020.
This “breakdown” is necessary for more light and higher consciousness to flood in (43:52).
The incoming generations and the growing respect for elders are both signs of transformation (45:09).
We are becoming more sensitive, empathic, and spiritually aware—even perceiving more color and light than before (45:09).

Mandela Effect, Timelines, and the Power of Trust

Highlighting the Ed McMahon/Publisher’s Clearinghouse Mandela Effect, Alex and Cheryl laugh about “split realities” and how collective memories may point to deeper truths about consciousness and timelines (48:47).
Cheryl emphasizes letting go of fear, embracing gratitude, and trusting one’s heart as the “true compass” during times of uncertainty (50:49).

Healing, Self-Care, and Navigating the Spiritual World

The importance of grounding practices and self-care for energy workers and intuitive people is discussed throughout (54:03, 79:41).
Cheryl warns about fraud in the mediumship and healing community, stressing the need for discernment, ethics, and referrals (55:01).
Her “Healing Prayer Circle” is highlighted as a community for like-minded, open spiritual seekers (57:20).

Communicating with Animals

Cheryl describes the process of animal communication—both with living pets and those who have passed (68:35).
Animals have soul evolution, can reincarnate, and often choose us (or we choose them) for mutual growth (77:51, 81:30).
She shares about working with animals to resolve behavioral issues, and how pets often stay around to help their humans heal after a loss (74:24).

Quote [Cheryl, 70:29]:
“Whether it’s a stray or from a shelter, they’re supposed to be in your life. They have picked you.”

The Question of Dark Energy and Curses

Alex brings up cultural ideas around curses and psychic attacks; Cheryl refers to the power of personal light and intention as a defense (90:50).
Most “bad energy” is a projection; practicing love, gratitude, and setting intentions creates natural spiritual protection (91:48).

Quote [Cheryl, 92:04]:
“We have to show people their own light… you can manifest what you think, feel, and that can change.”

The Afterlife, Healing, and What Spirits Want Us To Know

The prevailing message from spirits: “I’m here, I love you, I made it. I’m supporting you” (97:28).
Even “crotchety” personalities come through with recognizable traits, offering validation (98:32).
Spirits retain memory and personality initially on the other side, often seen “living” in familiar homes or hobbies, but grow and evolve in their own time (100:47).
There's no “eternal hell”; rather, spirits land in environments that resonate with their soul’s needs, with help available for healing and recalibration (104:22).
Major spiritual figures like Jesus, Buddha, and Yogananda do show up in readings—for guidance, healing, or to deliver messages with succinct, transformative energy (111:06, 111:22).

Quote [Cheryl, 114:27]:
“It is that divinity that is really able to reach people because they’re open to it. And that’s the consciousness we are opening up to.”

Notable Quotes & Moments

Cheryl on supporting new intuitives (09:00):
“As a medium, a psychic, and intuitive, my goal is to help people understand their abilities—how powerful they are.”
Alex on the soul echoes (18:21):
“This is an echo… an aspect. The oversoul is in a thousand other lifetimes; this is what’s left of this energy that remains.”
Cheryl on spiritual “protection” (79:41):
“Holding enough light through prayer, meditation, looking for the light in others—this is my form of protection before I work.”
On the key message from the other side (97:28):
“They want you to know, I’m here, I still love you, I’m watching you, even in the little, mundane moments.”
On the state of the world and hope (43:52):
“They can’t hold the new light that’s happening… but what’s happening is a shift and there’s good coming.”
