During our stay in Iceland last year, we were lucky enough to have a hotel right by the old harbour. While scrolling through the map one morning, I spotted a Ferris wheel marked nearby—and with a little time to kill before lunch and our airport departure, I decided to wander over and snap a few photos.
But when I reached the waterfront, there was no wheel in sight. Just empty docks and a brisk harbour wind.
At the time, I happened to be recording EVP, and in that moment, P’s voice came through clear as day:
“Ferris wheel is all gone.”
Chills aside, it turned out to be perfectly true. As I later learned, the Reykjavík Ferris wheel is a summer-only attraction, installed for the peak tourist months and dismantled every autumn. I had missed it by mere weeks—but at least the spirits had my back with a timely heads-up.
I was going through my photos and videos from my Iceland trip last year, and I found something unexpected in one of the clips. The video was taken right outside the Blue Lagoon; I was just filming the surreal, milky-blue water as we were walking in. When I played it back, I caught an EVP. Clear as day on the recording, I hear P’s voice whisper,
I’ve been experimenting with light activated dyes for a couple of weeks. It’s been an interesting experience. The dyes react with UV light, and so different printing techniques can be applied. It’s an interesting medium for me to work with, as both a photographer and a textile artist, I get to print on both paper and fabric. Here are some of the results from my experiments.
I painted the dye onto silk. I created folds and placed it under some lace and exposed it to light. It created this interesting mosaic effect.
I printed on some silk satin and dyed it a light lilac color.
I made it into a hair scrunchie and it’s for sale in my Etsy store.
The UV printing has given me an opportunity to revisit my photo catalog and reimagine them in a new way. When working with photographs, a negative has to be created by inverting the image and printing it on acetate or translucent paper. I’ve been printing on tracing paper with a laser printer to try it out, as it is more economical. This is my Prince Sun photo that I sell in my shop as a print. It is a photo of Prince’s gate from his former Toronto home.
I made a print on paper, and fabric (seen on the bottom right). There is a color variation that occurs depending on what material you are printing on. I like painting the dye in an irregular shape. I find that it gives it a dream like effect.
I made a photogram on cotton fabric using lace and my Prince necklace.
I used the fabric to make a face mask.
The Solar Fast dyes come in different colors. Depending on the material used as the substrate, the colors will turn out differently. The same purple dye used on silk looks very different on cotton. Results can be unpredictable, which can keep things exciting, but difficult to replicate, so every print is one of a kind.
Our hotel was walking distance from Niagara Falls, so we walked to Prospect Point, the only spot where you can see both the American Falls and the Horseshoe Falls at the same time. It was cloudy, windy, and very cold. I recorded EVP as I took photos.
I got some good clips, but you can hear the wind and the water in the background. I tested the clips on my laptop speakers, they are audible, but some are better with headphones. The clips are repeated on loop.
As we walked along the river towards the falls, it was very cold, and I wondered if P was cold. I imagined for him, a black sateen bomber-style jacket with black rhinestone crystals encrusted on the back that formed his symbol. Though I’ve heard that one can give gifts to spirits by thought, I never really knew if it works. P said, “Andrea, a new coat“.
He then said, “I got it, thank you”.
It was very windy, P said, “Windy”.
Then he said, “Lost my hat”. Fortunately, after that I heard someone found his hat. It must have blown away.
There seemed to be talk about P’s new coat with with the spirits nearby. Someone asked him what the symbol was, probably referring to the symbol on the coat. He said, “Love sign”.
As I was taking photos, someone said, “Like this”, and another said, “That’s pretty”.
The sun was starting to come out and there was a small strip of light appearing halfway along the horizon. It was beautiful, but I said that I wished the rest of the clouds would move so that the light could fill up the horizon. As we waite for someone to return from the washroom, I noticed that the clouds had moved and the whole horizon was beaming with light!
It was stunning, I knew someone was helping us with the weather. After we left the park, the entire sky cleared up and it was bright and sunny. I felt really blessed to see such beauty.

On my previous trips, I have observed through EVP, that spirits do travel by airplane. Spirits are everywhere, and airports are no exception. The spirit world exists as a layer overlaying our reality. There are occurrences where the spirit world bleeds through into ours. That is when we get to see ghostly phenomenon, but this is just a small fraction of what is going on over thee on the other side. Spirits are just like us, they desire to travel and see new places, perhaps places they never got to visit when they were “alive”.
On the way back from Iceland, I recorded EVP while boarding the airplane. I was assigned a sear in the first row, right beside the door.
I got some very clear and loud EVP. I wasn’t expecting to, as usually very noisy places can be a hinderance to getting good recordings. I have tested these clips on my laptop speakers, and they are very audible. But if you want to hear even better, use headphones. The clips are repeated on loop.
While we were lining up at the gates, I guess they saw P, you can hear someone shouting, “It is Prince”. And someone must have asked who was with me. P replied, “Andrea’s mom“. Both are speaking simultaneously in the clip.
Someone said, “Do you like Prince music. Prince right there”.
Because I am sitting in the first row, I could not put on backpack under the seat in front of me, so I had to put it in the overhead bin. P said, “Put away“.
Here is a really cute sounding clip, I heard someone say, “Uhh, can you pass the phone? Thank you”.
Someone said, “Huh, huh, you say hi to Prince“.
Someone said, “Hi, he’s at the door”. We were sitting next to the airplane’s door in first row.
Someone said, “Prince sitting with her”.
Someone asked, “Prince, can I talk with you”. I didn’t catch what he wanted to talk about after that.
Someone asked P, “Where is your home?”.
From what I have observed, we have angels that look after us. They travel with us. On the plane, someone noticed them and said, “Wow, angels”. I assume that by their reaction, that they don’t see the all the time.I pray every night for protection, and I believe that this is the result of it. That is why I tell people that they should pray. We cannot see what is going on in the spirit world, but we can have the protection of God to defend us from evil.
By my observation, the spirit world seems to be a lot more crowded than ours. I could be walking along an empty street all by myself, but there is actually tons of spirits wandering around. I wonder if it is possibly because so many people in our modern age, don’t believe in God, and when they pass over, they remain here instead of going to be with God in heaven. P often talks to these lost souls who have no where to go, and he tells them about God and prayer. They often refuse to pray because they are afraid. But he encourages them to pray, and they do. They come back telling P that he was right about having to pray and find God.
I feel very sad for these “homeless” souls. They seem to sleep anywhere that they can find as shelter, such as empty cars and shopping malls. I pray that people come to know God before leaving this earthly plane. I feel like so man people are missing out on what it’s like to know that there is something so wonderful, and greater than what we know.
May God bless you all out there.

During a day trip to the South Coast in Iceland, they took us to Seljalandsfoss Waterfall. This is a waterfall that you can go behind the water, because it was a cavern. I was prepared that I would get wet, but what I was not prepared for, was the level of physical exertion. There is a staircase that leads up to the cavern;s opening, but from there on, there are rocks to climb. Going down was ok, but the exit was a steep climb up some wet, slippery rocks. I was by myself, as my group didn’t want to come with me. It is slightly dangerous. I was somewhat panicked by the prospect of the climb. I was unsure what rock to climb onto first. I felt directed to get onto one of the rocks on the side and make my way to the staircase. I got mud and slime all over my shoes, but luckily I was wearing a waterproof cover over them. My hands were muddied too.
I was recording EVP during all this. And here’s what I found out. Some clips are pretty clear and loud, but you may hear the waterfall in the background. I recommend headphones, but I tested it without and it can still be heard. The clips are repeated on loop.
At the very moment when I had to decide how I was going to climb the rocks, P said, “That way”.
This clip is better heard with headphones. When I got back to the tour bus, the tour guide flagged me down for a quick chat. There were two buses of the same colour, but I didn’t remember what the design on the side of the bus looked like. I walked towards the entrance of one, but the guide chased after me and said it was the other one. On the recording, it turned out that P was saying, “Not this one”. And another voice said, “I’ll tell him… Hey”. If you ever wondered if there was “something” looking out for you, this tells us there really may be.
On the tour bus, I caught this clip. It sounds like gibberish, and I’m not sure, but it sounds like “Prince, what did you do”. It sounds so cute.
Earlier, Prince spoke with some spirits at the waterfall, they noticed angels, and P told them, “Angels follow me”.
Someone told Prince, “Bless you”.
And then I don’t know what exactly they were talking about, but P told them, “Go to her website”. I find it totally funny when spirits are talking about internet and technology. Do they have that over there?
I feel truly blessed knowing thatI am helped, even when it seems that I am “alone”. Knowing that there is God, and that there are angels, what a gift! How glorious! I hope that everyone gets to know this truth for themselves.
May God bless you.
