I predicted dad's death & deadly disaster before it happened…now I see dead people – how you can use psychic abilities
While her chilling predictions as a child were brushed off by adults, she says she hasn't stopped interacting with "those on the other side" ever since her father Kevin's tragic passing.

The 30-year-old, who now works as a psychic medium, says: 'As a young child, I had instances of predicting future things or had general knowledge that would be brushed off by adults.
'When my parents sat me down to tell me they were getting divorced, I said, 'Yeah, God already told me'.
'And one day, my dad was showing me the new stereo in his car, and I told him it would get stolen and to put a fake cover on it to disguise it.
'We didn't live in an area where that sort of thing was common, but I knew it would get stolen that night – and it was."
As a child, Alysa would see "entities" and even spotted a dark figure standing over her mum's bed in one of her first chilling experiences of the afterlife.
She says: 'When I was four and sleeping in my mom's bed, she was turned away from me and facing a mirror.
'I stirred awake in the night and saw in the mirror a grey, non-human, semi-translucent figure lying over my mom's reflection.
'I can only describe this as the feeling you might get if you're in a situation with a predatory animal and you don't want to move too much or make yourself known, even though you are making eye contact.
'We had this spooky moment of acknowledgement, like it knew I was looking at it, and then it sank into her body.
'I was always scared at night. I also saw beings who were not 'negative' – similar in their shadowy nature, but they had this electric outline around their figure.

'I kept this to myself, but it was very impactful.I just brushed it all off and ignored it.'
Chilling premonition
As she grew up, Alysa, who is based in Los Angeles, California, found her visions impossible to ignore, and in October 2022, she started to receive startling premonitions.
Just a week before her father suddenly took his own life, she says she sensed something untoward - intuitive thoughts she describes as "downloads".
She says: 'The week before my father's death, I continuously kept getting weird 'downloads' around the death of a father or a parent.
'I can only describe it as a thought dropping into your awareness that feels outside of your normal brain ramblings. This stuff is subtle.
'If I say bring to mind your favourite place to be – the way you can feel into that and see that, is similar.

'But it's being given to me rather than my own projection.
'I couldn't pinpoint what this was really about because my father killing himself was 0% on the radar as an option.
'I remember even looking at a friend while on a walk while she was experiencing grief on the anniversary of her mother's passing, and I felt so detached from what I was witnessing.
'Then I said to her, 'I feel like I am about to be dealt a massive lesson within the experience of deepening empathy, something is going to happen'.
'That same week, I kept thinking, 'My dad is going to forget my birthday, I can just feel it'.
'A few days later, I got a call to say he had taken his own life.'
How to get help
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide
It doesn't discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
If you, or anyone you know, needs help dealing with mental health problems, the following organisations provide support:
Alysa says she doesn't feel guilt for not initially understanding her premonitions and instead used them as a 'catalyst' to start the work she now does.
Since that day, Alysa has embraced her spiritual side wholeheartedly and discovered abilities she had no idea she could possess.
She added: 'Because of his suicide and what led up to it, I began to trust what was coming through to me.
'I knew that helping others connect with and learn to trust their intuition is the path for me, and that path appears – for now – through mediumship and all that comes with it.'
I couldn't pin point what this was really about because my father killing himself was 0% on the radar as an option.
Through her work as a psychic medium, under the business name Hello Who Said That, Alysa speaks with people from all walks of life to help connect them to lost loved ones and provide insight into their lives.
She says her work is altogether more subtle than films would have you believe, likening it to the visceral memory of a favourite place to visit and the 'instant download of information' recalling it can bring.
She said: 'You bring it to mind and you can see, feel, smell and know all about it.
'When I drop in with a client, that is what it is like – and then I translate what I am perceiving.'
Alysa says she doesn't get scared talking with spirits, adding, 'living people are way more of an energetic issue than the dead.
'Living people are entitled and demanding, and in denial.
'The dead are mostly just vibing.'
'Tsunami of souls'
She says she still gets "downloads", such as hearing a 'voice' in her head telling her her brother had gotten into an accident, and checking her phone to discover that had been the case.
She also claims to have sensed 'a big tsunami of souls leaving Earth' right before the Covid pandemic struck, killing millions of people worldwide.

Alysa, who believes we are all capable of such abilities, says death 'looks like many things' and believes life and the afterlife coexist alongside one another.
She added: 'If people take anything from any of this, it is that we are all parts of the whole.
'How we have been living is with great limitations, and these limitations can be lifted – spirits are here to show us that.
'This isn't a magical super power I have that others do not.
'It's like never doing a push-up in your life – you have to start doing them, and they are hard and they suck at first, but eventually you can do them.
'I am just someone who has been doing my push-ups – and others can as well.'
She believes more people should explore their own abilities.
Alysa added: 'More people should connect to this part of themselves because this is a great access point to greater connection – and connection is exactly what we all need.
'We are expansive beings who have been removed from access to that part of ourselves.
'People living lives aligned with their heart are people creating a better world.'

Night goggles may have hampered army pilots before DC plane crash, experts say
The pilots of a US army helicopter that collided with a passenger jet over Washington DC in January would have had difficulty spotting the plane while wearing night-vision goggles, experts told the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) on Friday. The army goggles would have made it hard to see the plane's colored lights, which might have helped the Black Hawk determine the plane's direction. The goggles also limited the pilots' peripheral vision as they flew near Ronald Reagan Washington national airport that evening. The challenges posed by night-vision goggles were discussed at the NTSB's third and final day of public testimony over the fatal midair crash, which left all 67 people onboard both aircraft dead. Experts said another challenge that evening was distinguishing the plane from lights on the ground while the two aircraft were on a collision course. Also, the helicopter pilots may not have known where to look for a plane that was landing on a secondary runway that most planes did not use. 'Knowing where to look. That's key,' said Stephen Casner, an expert in human factors who used to work at Nasa. Two previous days of testimony underscored a number of factors that probably contributed to the collision, leading the NTSB chair, Jennifer Homendy, to urge the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to 'do better' as she pointed to warnings the agency ignored years earlier. Some of the major issues that have emerged so far include the Black Hawk helicopter flying above prescribed levels near Ronald Reagan airport as well as the warnings to FAA officials for years about the hazards related to the heavy chopper traffic there. It is too early for the board to identify what exactly caused the crash. A final report from the board will not come until next year. But it became clear this week how small a margin of error there was for helicopters flying the route the Black Hawk took the night of the nation's deadliest plane crash since November 2001. The January collision was the first in a string of crashes and near misses this year that have alarmed officials and the traveling public, despite statistics that still show flying remains the safest form of transportation. The board focused on air traffic control and heard on Thursday that it was common for pilots to ask to use visual separation or relying on their eyesight just as the army Black Hawk's pilots, who were wearing night-vision goggles, agreed to do the night of the crash. FAA officials also said controllers relied heavily on pilots using visual separation as a way to manage the complex airspace with so many helicopters flying around Washington DC.

Seniors forced to ride wheelchairs on busy streets in Oakland
A trio of terrified disabled seniors say the sidewalks in their Oakland neighborhood are so squalid that they're being forced to dice with death and ride their wheelchairs on the main road. Cathy Harris, Shaaron Green-Peace and Rose Luster-Brooks all use motorized wheelchairs and live at a senior living facility off International Boulevard at 105th Avenue. They all told KTVU that the sheer amount of garbage is making it impossible for them to get around safely in their own community. 'We have to ride in the street as if we're cars. It's unsafe,' Luster-Brooks said. And they claim it's not all down to the homeless people in the area. They say that since the trash heap has grown so much, even regular passers by have been casually contributing to it. 'People are dumping, I mean everything in the world you can find right here on this corner,' Luster-Brooks said. The women have said that the garbage has even stopped them from being able to use a bus with East Bay Paratransit, a transportation method funded by the city that specifically serves disabled residents. 'They no longer can pick us up there. A couple of them have tried and we're like, "how are you going to let us out in this trash?"' Luster-Brooks said. The bus driver now picks them up at the next corner of the intersection, which the women said is riddled with oncoming traffic and isn't as safe. City spokesperson Sean Maher confirmed to KTVU that the location has received repeated requests from constituents for clean-ups and that Oakland's Encampment Management Team is aware of the site. Houston, who represents deep East Oakland in the city council, said the encampment has been removed twice but keeps returning. 'It's on the radar and we're going to come out, and these seniors should be protected,' Houston said in front of the pile of trash. One thing that could be hamstringing cleanup crews is that they're generally not allowed to remove people's personal property from encampments under city policy, Maher said. According to a regulation passed in 2020 by the city council, employees tasked with 'deep cleaning' encampments must 'make reasonable efforts to mitigate any individual or group property loss.' They're allowed to clean up 'debris, trash, waste, illegal dumping, hazmat' and other items, but any personal property they come across that doesn't appear abandoned needs to be stored. 'The City will make reasonable efforts to store up to one (1) square yard of such property per individual,' the regulation states. Oakland had the eighth largest homeless population of all major cities in the US last year, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The number of homeless people in Oakland has jumped nearly 18 percent since 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the problem in most US cities.

Disney World guests rushed to hospital after boat crash
A horrific ferry boat crash at Disney World has reportedly resulted in multiple guests having to be rushed to the hospital. According to a witness, the boat was bringing families from the Magic Kingdom to the Transportation and Ticket Center on Wednesday night during a massive storm, when it suddenly 'hit something.' The Disney guest, named Larry, described the horrific scene in detail to the Daily Mail, claiming that people were 'thrown forward' as 'metal trash cans' came barreling forward onto 'little kids,' resulting in one boy getting pinned under a trash can. He recounted terrified children screaming and 'people bleeding' as they waited for EMT services to arrive. Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, Larry explained, 'I was leaving Magic Kingdom on Wednesday, July 30, right when they closed at 11pm.' He said that as they were waiting for the ferry it started raining 'heavily,' adding, 'It was coming down hard so we were surprised the ferry was running in the dark and pouring rain.' As they were approaching the Transportation and Ticket Center he said the boat 'hit something all of a sudden.' 'When we hit whatever we hit, everyone was thrown forward and the metal trash cans and recycling bins were thrown forward onto strollers and little kids,' he explained. 'There were little kids screaming and [I] noticed that a boy was pinned under the trash cans so [everyone] quickly lifted them up.' Footage shared exclusively with the Daily Mail by Larry of the aftermath shows hoards of terrified families huddling on the boat moments after the crash. Some are seen on the ground with screaming and crying heard in the background. He said that after the boat pulled into the dock and guests rushed off to safety 'not a word was said from the captains or Disney cast members.' 'There were furious screaming parents and all these employees were doing was saying, "You'll have to take it up with guest services when they open," or, "Call guest services,"' Larry told the Daily Mail. 'Lots of kids were shaken up and holding their parents while crying. There were people bleeding and parents sitting on the floor holding their children waiting for EMTs. It was a very chaotic site.' Tami Hackett, from Houston, Texas, was also on the ferry when it crashed, along with her daughter, her daughter's husband, and their twin three-year-old daughters. 'Suddenly we crashed into something and we all went flying forward falling,' she told the Daily Mail. 'The stroller landed on its back causing the girls to hit their heads. A lot of people screaming and really hurt bad.' She added that upon getting off the boat 'there no announcement on what to do if injured.' 'We were concerned the girls had concussions so waited on the dock for direction, none came,' she continued. 'When EMT finally got there I watched as they were just as confused with no direction from staff.' She said when they finally 'flagged down an EMT' he checked the girls and said they were OK. 'He expressed his disbelief on how the park handled the entire situation and the chaos,' she added. Several other people who claimed to be on the water vessel when the horrific incident occurred took to Reddit to share their account of what happened. They told similar stories of being 'thrown all around' and 'getting crushed by a surge of people.' 'The ferry boat from Magic Kingdom to TTC crashed while I was on it,' read the title of the Reddit post. 'Very scary scene. Happened about 11.40pm during a heavy storm,' the user wrote. 'Boat was approaching the TTC dock when the boat came to a sudden and complete stop, throwing every passenger forward.' 'I was on that ferry! It was insane. People thrown forward all around. No warning, just a loud crash and sudden stop approaching the dock,' someone else shared in the comment section. 'I think they hit the cement jetty.' 'It was scary. We were right down the front and could see it heading toward the dock and it wasn't getting any slower,' recounted another person. 'Luckily we were able to brace for impact but then got crushed by a surge of people from behind... Girl by us was quite badly injured.' 'Multiple people taken off on stretchers, many others witnessed lying on the ground waiting for medical evaluation. Dozens of people injured,' read a third comment. 'We were on it and four or five of us were injured,' shared a different person. 'It was complete chaos and the staff had no clue how to handle it. Very disappointed with Disney and how they handled this.' 'I was on that ferry with my daughter and mother on the lower deck. We fell hard and slid,' revealed someone else. 'I was Ubering [at] Disney last night, as I usually do. I had to continuously pull over for police, ambulances and fire trucks, I kept thinking, "Where's the accident?"' shared a different user. 'I finally got to TTC, picked up my passengers. They were shaking, the mom had blood dripping down her face, eye, and all over her hands. 'Her little boy was also bleeding. I finally convinced them to let me take them to the hospital. 'She was in shock and refused to let EMTs check them out before leaving. Hopefully everyone has a quick recovery.' Theme park news site WDW News Today reported that there was a 'mutual aid call at 12.02am corresponding to the address for the TTC ferryboat landing.' "Mutual Aid" in this case refers to reciprocal assistance from multiple agencies across jurisdictional boundaries, particularly when the emergency is too big for one agency to handle,' the website added. The outlet said 19 people were transported to local hospitals, 'with at least eight people having major injuries.' The Daily Mail has reached out to Disney World for comment, but did not hear back.
