Amy Farrar grew up in Grovers Mill, New Jersey, ground zero for an infamous radio broadcast in 1938 that scared thousands of people into believing that Martians had landed in their podunk town. The broadcast, orchestrated by actor Orson Wells, was a reenactment of H.G. Wells’s science fiction book, The War of the Worlds. Something about growing up in Grovers Mill set Farrar up for a life filled with real paranormal experiences and otherworldly encounters, and it wasn’t just her active imagination.
Farrar’s life has been no ordinary existence. It has included an uncle who was (probably) a CIA operative, landing a plane by herself, and managing a weekly newspaper, where she covered everything from brutal political fights and field days at local schools to an entire apartment complex that went up in flames. That wasn’t the only thing that went up in flames—after losing both her sister and her father and struggling through a first marriage that didn’t work out so great, Farrar moved half way across the country to hit the reset button on her life and successfully transformed it.
Even more compelling, however, are the multiple experiences Farrar has had with unexplained phenomena that have included out of body experiences, ghosts, premonitions, and sightings of UFOs, among many others. They continue to this day.
