  1. Love your show. Just found it. Heard you on paranormal podcast.
    Do you have any idea where I can find a copy of “Meteorology: How To Foretell The Weather For Each Season, For All Time And In All Parts Of The World Levi Beebe” ?
    Thanks and I’ll be listening.

  2. I love your podcast! I first heard it from my mom and I loved it! One question, what happened when you summoned Emily? =>

  3. Just looked at your web site for Levi Beebe, You have the wrong grave stone, you have his Grandfather Levi Beebe’s stone from Cone Hill Cemetery, Richmond, Ma. His son was Warren Beebe, 1776-1821, Married to Temperance Hubbard Beebe,1777-1882, after his death she married Capt. Elisha Gaston, Richmond.
    Their son was the weather man Levi Beebe, who lived in Lee, and Gt. Barrington, Ma. He is buried in the South Lee Cemetery with is wife Lydia.
    I’m Chair of the Richmond, Ma. Historical Commission.
