What if love truly never ends?
Join evidential psychic medium Bianca Rose for a moving live gallery reading where spirit communication becomes more than belief—it becomes evidence.
Bianca's work centers on evidential mediumship, bringing forward specific validations from loved ones in spirit through names, memories, personality traits, shared experiences, and meaningful details that demonstrate the continuity of consciousness beyond physical death. Her goal isn't simply to deliver messages, but to provide compelling evidence that those we love continue to exist, remain connected, and are often far closer than we realize.
As connections unfold in real time, you'll witness heartfelt moments of recognition, healing, and hope as members of the audience receive messages intended specifically for them. Every reading is unique, every connection deeply personal, and every experience serves as a reminder that love transcends the boundaries of this life.
Whether you receive a personal message or simply witness the connections taking place around you, Bianca believes the greatest gift mediumship offers is the realization that our loved ones are never truly gone.
Come experience an unforgettable demonstration of evidential mediumship...
And discover what may be waiting just beyond the veil.

What happens when the unexplained isn’t something you investigate—but something that has followed you throughout your life?
In Angst in the Shadows: A Lifetime of Alien Abductions, author and experiencer Erik Nanstiel takes audiences inside his extraordinary personal history of encounters with beings and phenomena that challenge our understanding of reality.

Among the most compelling are encounters involving children he was shown during these experiences—raising questions that have stayed with him long after the encounters ended.
Rather than approaching the subject as distant speculation, Erik offers something far more personal: what it is like to live with these experiences, search for answers, and attempt to understand what happened when conventional explanations simply aren’t enough.
His experiences have also led him into the wider UFO and experiencer community, including appearances connected with Ancient Aliens and involvement with MUFON.
They took more than memories. Then they showed him the children.

What happens when the outside world is removed—and Spirit is given the room to lead?
Enter an immersive, controlled séance experience with evidential psychic medium Bianca Rose Perricone. Blindfolded and wearing noise-canceling headphones to eliminate external influence, Bianca places herself in a fully receptive state while participants sit together in a circle and become part of the energy surrounding the session.
As communication begins, Bianca engages in automatic writing while speaking aloud the information she receives as it unfolds in real time. Unlike a traditional gallery reading, the communication is not directed toward individual readings. Loved ones may come through, but the focus reaches beyond those personal connections.
Instead, Bianca opens herself to the consciousness of the Rock Island Roadhouse—the building, the land beneath it, and the layers of history and energy held within the location. There is no predetermined direction. The space itself is allowed to lead.
This is open-range spirit communication.
The atmosphere may deepen. The unexpected may occur.
Enter with respect.
Sit in stillness.
Witness what unfolds.
