Bruce Olav Solheim, PhD, is professor of history at Citrus College in Glendora, California. He also served as a Fulbright professor in 2003 at the University of Tromsø in northern Norway. He has just begun teaching a paranormal personal history course at Citrus College Fall 2018. He is author of five books on history and political science, one novel, three plays, and two books about his personal paranormal history, Timeless: A Paranormal Personal History and Timeless Deja Vu: A Paranormal Personal History.

Here he describes a variety of childhood experiences associated with the paranormal — including several of a frightening nature. His psychic abilities were awakened, as a child, when he experienced an extraordinary healing and the presence of an ostensible angel. He also describes life on the remote Norwegian island of Andøya, 200 miles above the Arctic Circle. He emphasizes the need people have for a safe space in which to discuss their paranormal experiences. The conversation also focuses on the relationship between trauma and psychic openings.
