From the Author’s Diary
This story has been percolating in the recesses of my mind since 2013. After my debut novel The Haunting of Natalie Bradford was released, I had the honor of speaking to a crowd of enthusiastic readers and paranormal fans at the Dixie Regional Library located in Pontotoc, Mississippi. Unbeknownst to me was the town’s very own psychic celebrity of the 20th century known as Seymour Prater, a man often referred to as The Mississippi Mystic.
The Library Director, Regina Graham approached me with the Prater story as I was preparing to leave that day. She told me about a man from Pontotoc who was known to have a unique gift that enabled him to find lost objects. She also advised me that his fame spread far and wide across the southeast earning him notoriety as a “fortune teller”, a label that his wife highly detested.
Stories of Seymour Prater covered the inside pages of newspapers and magazines from time to time. Fortunately, some of these articles had been saved and collected by the library. Mrs. Graham invited me to explore the supernatural wonder and offered to help any way that she could.
Fast forward almost two years later to January, 2016. I had just released my supernatural bestseller, The Phoenix Mission a month earlier. That book was inspired by the U.S. Army’s psychic spy program, Stargate. And while my creative tone was fixed on that material, the Prater story easily came to mind as a project that I needed to explore.
After meeting with Mrs. Graham who provided me with the Seymour Prater file of newspaper clippings and family journals, I began my research into the man who often called himself “the man with the radio mind”. I sat at a long, conference table inside a room designated for Genealogy research and slowly flipped through the newspapers one page at a time, taking it all in. I was mesmerized. Seymour Prater and his story was more than I had anticipated, and I knew that most people in the area probably didn’t realize how profound his ability was and what it all meant. He was destined to be a legend.
As someone who has studied the paranormal and unexplained most of my life, I realized the magnitude of his gift within seconds of picking up that first newspaper article. My mind raced with thoughts of past explorations. There was another man who I studied over the years, and he possessed the same abilities as Prater, but this man became known worldwide. His name was Edgar Cayce, The Sleeping Prophet, and I knew that in order to study Seymour Prater, I needed to study Edgar Cayce one more time. Don’t miss my addition of The Divinely Gifted at the end of this book.
See No Evil is a project that included detailed research. This research even included studying the flow of the Tombigbee River and the riverboats that traveled to Aberdeen during the time of Seymour Prater’s boyhood. It was on that fateful day in Aberdeen, Mississippi when Prater met the man who would deliver a message that shaped the course of his life. The entire Prater story is laced with providence and even what some may define as predestination. Pay attention to the opening scenes that have been created most likely as they happened. Unknown until now, Lewis Prater became Seymour Prater’s father only because Thomas Jefferson Brown was captured and taken prisoner at the Battle of Missionary Ridge in November, 1863. Fate?
While parts of this story have been dramatized for the sake of storytelling, let it be known that this really happened. On January 3, 1931, Arthur Floyd was murdered at his store in Carrollton, Mississippi. And as the town lived in terror from the haunting at the Floyd place, Seymour Prater became the victim’s only hope for solving a murder and putting the angry spirit to rest. While the town’s folk frantically searched for answers, it was murder at first sight for The Mississippi Mystic.

From the bestselling author…A story inspired by the U.S. Army’s psychic spy program, Stargate. For two decades, the Army trained special agents in remote viewing. In 1995 during the Clinton Administration, Stargate was shut down. Now twenty years later, a new story emerges.
Meet Sergeant Major Seth Phoenix. He’s spent his entire life guarding a secret, but when a terrorist attack at Fort Bragg threatens the lives of himself and two of his closest friends, he risks it all and uses his supernatural powers of telekinesis. When General Monroe witnesses the event, he has Phoenix transported to Fort Meade where the sergeant major is introduced to the clandestine Stargate Program. But a mole leaks Phoenix’s identity to Russia, and Seth must find the spy and stop one of the biggest Al Qaeda attacks in history. Just remember, in the end and by direct orders of the CIA, this never happened…

About four years ago while I was studying psychic phenomena and psychic development in humans, I stumbled across a book written by Major Ed Dames and titled Tell Me What You See. I was immediately drawn in by the author’s claims that our military had been running a psychic spy program for the last two decades. Reading the book led me to more questions and a Pandora’s Box whose seal should never be broken. But an unrelenting curiosity found me spending the next two years reading everything I could get my hands on that pertained to the clandestine Stargate program. Two years later, Sergeant Major Seth Phoenix was born from the research that uncovered a real life psychic/telekinetic living in Russia during the Stargate era and ultimately inspired the creation of The Phoenix Series.
During the course of research for this book project, I studied a number of subjects, locations, and phenomena. Of most significance to me was the content concerning psychic development in humans and the genetic factors that were involved. During the Stargate program, soldiers were trained to be psychic spies by using a method called remote viewing. I was later informed that remote viewing could be taught to anybody, but the military’s real interest was in those individuals who tested high for psychic abilities such as clairvoyance and ESP.
The Stargate program was in operation for more than two decades and consumed a twenty million dollar budget by the time it was terminated in November, 1995. The U.S. Army’s top remote viewers were consulted to help locate missing children and criminals, as well as, spy on foreign governments. The program was also reportedly used to locate American hostages taken by a group of Iranians who took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran from November 4, 1979 to January 20, 1981. While the Clinton Administration has been noted for shutting down the Stargate program, the top secret operation was actually born in 1975 and saw the support of three presidents, most notably Ronald Reagan.
On March 2, 1990, Tom Clancy’s The Hunt for Red October was released in movie theatres all across America. The film told the story of a Russian submarine captain wishing to defect. The typhoon-class nuclear missile sub was actually copied after a real life vessel that the Russians had been building for some time. U. S. Army Remote Viewer 001, Joseph McMoneagle has been credited with discovering the Russian submarine’s manufacturing point during a remote viewing session.
Stargate was conducted at Fort Meade, Maryland in a wood frame shed that served as the base headquarters. The program was highly classified with only about one hundred people supposedly aware of its existence. All remote viewers were required to sign an oath stating an absolute commitment to secrecy. Any breach of their contracts could result in a $10,000 fine and possible jail time.
These paranormal studies were also being conducted by the military and in association with the Stanford Research Institute located in California. SRI was once affiliated with Stanford University until it became a separate entity in 1970. As a non-profit research institute, it was dedicated to client sponsored research and development that included the U.S. Army’s remote viewing program.
By September, 1995, the CIA had already ceased all remote viewing work and all staff members had been reassigned somewhere else. At the end of the CIA’s review of the Stargate program and its real contribution to the military, it was decided that the project had not offered significant findings and would therefore be terminated by November. Opponents to the program’s shutdown argued that the assessment took less than two months to review over twenty-three years of research. And of the thousands of sessions conducted, only ten experiments of the last twelve months of operation were studied. In other words, only one percent of the program’s total available data was considered in the review.
After Stargate’s official termination, some staff members commented that the program had ended due to a number of reasons but most notably due to a lack of support within the military and intel, poor management, and lastly because the media was gathering. Others still believe to this day that the United States is secretly operating the Stargate program.
Another military based research project of paranormal interest to me was the HAARP program located near Gakona, Alaska. Work on the HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) was begun in 1993 and headed by the United States Air Force, United States Navy, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The program’s research focuses on the study of the ionosphere and its reaction to the sun. The research was intended to benefit the military’s communication and navigational systems. The program was said to be successful in helping to develop better communication methods for submarines. But in spite of the program’s declarations, conspiracy theories have abounded.
According to many conspiracy theorists, HAARP is nothing more than a machine developed by the United States to control the weather and use it as a weapon. Some theorists blame HAARP for global warming, earthquakes, tornadoes, and hurricanes. And it has been said that HAARP is an instrument used for mind control. While these theories have never been proven, the program was officially shut down by the United States Air Force in 2014, but the University of Alaska assumed ownership of the program and its facility by August, 2015. At the time of this writing (April, 2017), the program is said to be officially back up and running.
While setting up the story outline for The Phoenix Series, I investigated psychic phenomena known as telekinesis and extra sensory perception (ESP). As a believer, my research was not aimed at debunking the supernatural but more importantly, it was aimed at understanding it. If telekinesis was a real and natural occurrence among certain individuals, what was causing it to happen? And one more question. Why are some people more psychic than others?
Reports of psychic abilities, telepathic communication, and supernatural phenomena such as telekinesis have been noted for centuries. In fact, some statistics suggest that more than fifty percent of Americans believe in the paranormal and the supernatural such as miracles or angelic appearances. During my analysis of psychic individuals, I noticed a few parallels that coincided with some of the information I had studied. In one of the books that I read involving psychic children (The Children of Now), it stated that a common denominator among psychic people was the appearance of blue eyes. And after examining pictures of the remote viewers in the Stargate program, I noticed that the top four of the program’s remote viewers appeared to have blue eyes.
Major Ed Dames—Blue Eyes
Joseph McMoneagle—Blue Eyes
Ingo Swann—Blue Eyes
Lyn Buchanan—Blue Eyes
David Morehouse—Unable to verify.
I then decided to look at other famous psychics to see if they shared the same traits. I searched for famous individuals who claimed to possess psychic or supernatural abilities. One of the most convincing was Jeanne Dixon, the astrologer and psychic who reportedly had a dream of John F. Kennedy’s assassination prior to the event. She even called The White House and asked the president not to go to Dallas. And the color of her eyes? She was a blue-eyed beauty with red hair. So does this mean that a brown-eyed person cannot be psychic? Of course not. But the parallels are there and worth consideration.
In other references, I found medical research that explained how psychics often share the same characteristics such as being ambidextrous. And they often report that someone in their immediate family either has the “gift” of insight now, or it may have been present in a relative now deceased. Could this suggest that “psychic gifts” are genetic?
Other noted traits of the psychic sometimes involved a near death encounter and/or an out of body experience, known as a Near Death Experience (NDE). The individual often reported a spike in their abilities after surviving a near fatal event. Science has attempted to explain the NDE as a hallucination experienced from a lack of oxygen. However, there are literally millions of people who have experienced NDE’s and the similarities of their stories are too uncanny to dismiss.
The final part of this project’s research landed me in the middle of Nina Kulagina’s biography. Born on July 30, 1926, the Russian psychic and telekinetic served in the Russian army at the young age of fourteen. She reportedly was able to move objects at will, and it was said that the Russian housewife also possessed healing abilities. She was studied by dozens of scientists and became an international name when she demonstrated the ability to stop a frog’s heart during a scientific experiment held March 10, 1970.
Nina Kulagina was the inspiration for Nikita Oleshun’s character in The Phoenix Series. The small framed, brown-eyed woman was married to a Russian engineer and had three children. She sustained a battle injury to the abdomen that caused chronic pain for most of her life. In her later years, it was stated that her abilities had faded possibly due to aging, chronic pain from the battle wound, and the effects of childbirth. She died on April 11, 1990 from a heart attack. She was 63 years old.
In conclusion, writing The Phoenix Series has been exciting. I will miss the sergeant major and his Russian friend, Nikita. However, my research into unexplained mysteries will never cease. Having experienced a NDE at the age of fifteen and witnessing too many paranormal encounters to list, I will remain a believer in the possibility of supernatural phenomena. And it isn’t a coincidence that you are reading this report; because in a world of infinite possibilities, there is no such thing as accidents. Just remember, in the end and by direct orders of the CIA, this never happened.
Until we meet again,
