Now o’er the one half-world Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse The curtained sleep. It is the bloody business which informs Thus to mine eyes. I see thee still, And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood, Which was not so before. Mine eyes are made the fools o’ th’ other senses, Or else worth all the rest. Thou marshall’st me the way that I was going, And such an instrument I was to use. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? Or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation, Proceeding from the heat-oppressèd brain? I see thee yet, in form as palpable As this which now I draw. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. "Otherwise it will be much too much work.Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. "Take this on the day after the full moon until the next new moon. When they dry up, throw them out immediately, and rinse salt down the drain to clear out the energy they absorbed." And Guzzardo says you should only attempt these activities between moon cycles. "White roses literally suck activity out of the house. Votives are good to have on hand so you can light them in every room." Get white roses. "There is positive energy in white candles. "This keeps them out." Burn a white candle. This only feeds the unhappy spirits and makes them more active." Sprinkle salt on the entrance of your home. This means no seances or Ouija board parties. "Stand in the place where they are active and say 'You are not welcome here.' Then don't bring attention to them. "You can even get sage sticks at some grocery stores, and the smell of sage clears the space." Tell those ghosts to get lost, and then ignore them. "This goes back to Native American cultures," she says. Here are Guzzardo's other tips for handling a haunted house. "When you give a ghost attention, you give it power," she says. People are going to get freaked out." Guzzardo says the best way to get rid of ghosts is to ignore them. "One lady actually looked to see if I'd rigged a wire onto the bag, she was so surprised. "I was standing in the kitchen and a camera bag flew off the counter and hit me in the butt in front of everybody," she says. "He had knocked a professionally hung painting onto the floor, so the owner called me and wanted to make a house party out of the whole 'ghost clearing.'" As Guzzardo got to work on the haunted house, the spirit put on a show. "I was called to a house where the boy who used to live there had hung himself in the basement," she says. Maybe they give you a pat on the back and sit on your bed." And not every ghost is cooperative, she says. But you might smell their perfume or see them down the hall. "If your loved one is in the light, you won't feel them as a disturbance. "A 'ghost' is a spirit that hasn't crossed over to the other side," she says. "If they have loved ones who have died, they don't want loving spirits to go away." But Guzzardo says spirits that are "in the light" would never try to scare you. "Sometimes people get nervous when I come because they're not sure they want to get rid of the ghost," she explains. They may have died, but the party keeps on going." Guzzardo also gets asked to make house calls - especially around Halloween. "I've never been around such a large group of trapped souls who were so happy than what I experienced in the Dome Room at Excalibur. "My favorite haunted place in Chicago is Excalibur," she says. "He always wanted to make sure I got home safely." These days, Guzzardo has been a go-to psychic for police departments and even for a Travel Channel show on local haunts that followed her walking through Excalibur nightclub. "I would come home at night and I'd see my Dad standing in the bathroom window," she says. "My parents just chalked it up to being imaginary friends." It wasn't until her dad died suddenly in a car accident when she was 17 that things kicked into high gear. That's when they call me." Guzzardo knows this may sound bizarre to most, but since the age of 3 she says she's been able to contact dead people. "People have fun until the ghost starts breaking things and making the dog bark at 4 a.m. So if you have a house that's haunted, who do you call? How about a person who claims they see dead people? "It's almost hip now to have a pet ghost these days," says medium and psychic Denise Guzzardo.
