Mary the Medium’s Mind-Blowing Mission: Spirit Fest USA Special

In this spine-tingling Spirit Fest USA special, Will and Karen sit down with internationally acclaimed psychic medium Mary Lawton Johnson, known to many as Mary the Medium. Ranked #3 in the world by Top10.com, Mary doesn’t just talk to the other side—she sees it. Literally.

From capturing ghosts on video in Salem to pinpointing the exact locations of missing persons across the globe using just a photograph, Mary’s astonishing abilities have shaken up police departments and offered grieving families the closure they desperately need. In this raw, revealing, and occasionally hilarious conversation, she shares how her retrocognitive gifts work, the dangers of knowing too much, and why she always sleeps with the lights on.

Oh—and did we mention she does this life-saving work for free?

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

  • What a retrocognitive medium really is—and why it’s so rare
  • How Mary uses spiritual imprints and Google Earth to map the last moments of the deceased
  • Firsthand accounts of capturing spirits on camera (including Salem witches and Civil War hauntings)
  • Why law enforcement overseas seeks her out while U.S. authorities often don’t
  • Why she refuses to charge families looking for their lost loved ones
  • And the real reason she sleeps with the lights on every night…

0:03 We have a very special guest with us today. Like I mentioned before, we are at Spiritfest USA here Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly, Virginia, just outside of DC. And with us today now is Mary Lawton Johnson, who's also known as Mary the Medium. Like, I'm thinking, Marry the chic medium. With your hair and thanks guys. I just I have a wad of jewelry and I'm like pulling it. That's why I try to keep hearing away from these places, because she comes home with. A I come with an empty backpack. I've always wondered why until someone's like, oh that.

0:48 You know, this is the first time I ever wore the shirt and like twenty years really wow. I bought it out. In Pebble Beach when I was working out there years ago. Yeah. It matches the booth. Yeah, and it gives you a little bit of a golden glow about you. All right? So Mary, you are a medium, but you're not just any medium. No, You're the number three in the world. Is that right? That is correct? Wow? So who determines that? And how can I be one? How can you be one? Yes? Right? You know, I wasn't expecting it top ten dot com decided I needed that title.

1:31 Wow, and I'm like. Whoa, what did I do? Well? Apparently finding the missing in foreign countries. Deserved that title. Okay, so let's dive into that a little bit, because that's kind of your specialty, right you are missing person's expert like you. Right, Well, it was a gift I never okay, So I was born this way. Okay, I didn't develop my gifts, you know, five years of age covering myself up every night, trying to hide from the dark shadows at. The end of my bill. Oh God, that's scared sleeping with the lights on, which I do to this day.

2:14 Wow. Oh yeah, all the lights have to be on. Okay, and now we're going through tonight. Thank you for that, Mary. Yeah. So, anyway, I was born with this gift. I had an identical twin sister who was also born with the gift. And so. Typically my gift was being able to capture souls. On the other side, the former human beings. Okay, their spirit on. Video, You can capture them on video. Oh yeah, what does that look like? It looks like Okay, for instance, I have a photo on my phone from Salem. I went to Salem, not knowing where I was, you know, I was totally lost.

2:57 I figured, oh, this is a cool graveyard. I'm just going to walk around and see click click click click here plays out the Salem witch trials right on my phone. Oh my, I've got a picture of it. And then I went to a plantation in South Carolina because I got called there. They asked me to come. And what plays out is the KKK hanging a slave boy, right, got a picture of that. And like it looks like a regular picture, like you see the faces and. Then a slave hanging from a tree. Oh my god. Okay, so all right, I realized it's not my phone because I refused to trade my phone.

3:38 In when it died. It's like a phone. You're not taking my phone? It was me, yes, And so that's one gift. And when I came out with my gift years ago. Now remember guys, I'm from the Deep South. I hid my gift for most of my light. Yeah, that's it's a self preservation. It was self preservation for me and for my family. But when I finally came out with my gift, nobody believed that someone had the ability to do this. And then I'm also I'm a retrocognissant medium. I've never heard of. That mean means I can go back into time to see what happened, Who did it?

4:26 Tell you what I'm. Seeing, like as far as the background where we are, and then I can draw a map as it relates to missing people, draw a map as to what I see, and then pick it pick their souls out on a geographical map using their spiritual imprins. Wow. And I never knew. I had that ability until I got asked to find this guy missing in Kent, England in twenty twenty two. Alex Holland. I said, I'll try, you know. And so as I'm driving down the road, you know, dropping off my cat at the vet, I look up and there's Alex hanging from a street sign. Our eyes deadlocked in Florida. Our eyes deadlocked. And I said, oh my god, he moved to Florida and didn't tell anybody.

5:22 Nope. And I looked in my rearview mirror and he was gone, and I realized he's dead. Yeah. Was he the Everglades? No? Oh, thank goodness, because that's like a nightmare of mine. So no, no, So once I connect all I need is a picture. That's all I need, and I can literally find them on the map. Are law enforcement officers reaching out to you all the time? Half of the clint Kent Police force had to take early retirement when I showed up. Oh no, because police don't really, because you can do.

6:08 Their job. I did their job now. And guys, this is what's so strange is most and I know why most of my cases are all overseas. Got it. Do you think that people overseas are more open to these types of things? Yeah? I do. I find that people in the United States have a lot of stigmatism associated with psychic meetings. Well, you know, look, there's a lot of bad ones out there given good ones, you know, bad and bad impressions, and that shouldn't be the case. But I have worked with police in the United States LA you know, they were really.

6:50 Open to it. But it just depends on the given area. Sure. Yeah, So getting back to the English guy that you saw hanging from the street sign, how did you know? So you're in Florida and you see him and then he's gone, How do you know where to find him? So to tell them? He showed me a vision? Okay, So once I connect with the family or I have a photo, I will connect with this spirit, okay, and these are the ones that have passed, I'll connect with his spirit. And he showed me. He took me down a dirt road and off to the left was this beautiful gothic church, very different church, and then off to the right was this marshy area the water fields canals.

7:43 And I'm standing there looking at the church and he taps me on the shoulder. He goes, I've got to go, and he walks off to the right. So I knew I. Was looking for a gothic church on the left hand side and a marshy watery area on the right sid So I had to go to a geographical map and find that. It's like a needle in the haystack. Though, yeah it is. I always draw maps based on what I see. I always draw what I see, and then I have to find it on like Google Earth. I was gonna say about Google Earth is your friend. Yeah, I wish they would update more.

8:24 And then literally, when I'm looking at Google Earth, their soul, their spirit is like glowing. Wow, I can I can feel their energy. That's an incredibly representation of how technology is helping now spirituality kind of come together. Yeah. So now I want to talk about you sleeping with all the light time? Yeah? So why from that? I wasn't thinking about that anymore. You have someone here that may have a gift. Uh yeah, we think so, but yeah, not looking at it for sorry, right? But so is it because is it scary? Because I have to always be surrounded by light always?

9:06 That's like what my soul craved. Okay, so it's not because there's like footing around your house. Oh well no, no, that's no, it's no. Marriage right, but you guys got to know this. They are there. Yeah, I mean I have them come into my bedroom. Mar Brown of Atlantic Records did that. Okay, so it's kind of an invasion of privacy right anywhere but my Bedroomom tell them tell them that. Guys, when it's a missing person and there's an urgency. That okay, in that sense, I understand. But if it's something that's they're not like bad guys.

9:46 They're just people looking for help, looking for help. Okay, that's a different story. I'll accept those, right. But but I always have to be surrounded and l liked, you know, never light enough for me. Oh wow. Yeah. So I met a girl yesterday whose mother was kind of like, I don't know what to do. And I said, well, honey, what's going on? And she goes, well, I sleep with all the lights on. I'm like, oh, hello, you're speaking my story. Yeah, and she covers herself up at night. I have to wear a hoodie to dim the light. Wow. So that's like an oxymoron sort off. You need the light, but you can't sleep with the light on. But you need to sleep with the light on.

10:29 I have to sleep with the lights on. But the light I'm talking that comes from my crown. That's where my gift is here and here and then my energy field. Okay, the energy field goes this way. And so when I'm sleeping, because they will tap my bed, shake my bed, they will whisper in ma air Mary, Mary, you know, like. It's dentist or it's something I'm like. Or Mar Brown, for instance, from Atlantic Records, after he died, he was pacing beside my bed out when I was out in California, and I didn't know who he was.

11:14 So I go what what? And I said what's your name? And he goes Mar And I said, okay, Mar, I said, what do you want? And I didn't get anything, so I put a call out on Facebook. I said, guys, I have a spirit in my room. His name is Mar. Can someone tell me, you know? Are you missing a Mar? And so I got two people, one who turned out to be my producer in Hollywood. Darren goes, what does he look like? I said, he's a. Beautiful black man, just beautiful African American, dressed really nicely. He goes, what did he do for a living?

11:56 I said, well, because he only said Mar, he didn't say his last time. And I said, well, he's handing out music tickets and he's wearing a shiny peach colored jacket and a black turtleneck. I mean, I can see very clearly. And Darren goes, that was my wife's best friend's husband. I said, who's that? He goes, Mar Brown of Atlantic Records. He just died of a major coronary, like a few days before that. And I said, well, he keeps talking about insurance because I feel like maybe he either sold insurance or he did music in his pastime. No. Turns out he had a baby mama in cut his entire family off from the insurance and so I was supposed to pass the message of he's sorry he did that. He's sorry he cut Victoria off from the insurance.

13:01 Got it. Yeah, I was gonna ask why would he come to you if you he just died of a coronary. He's not trying to be found. But because of my gift and spirit always knows the connections. Always, so how do they not to find you? My light? My light? Now, Families, if you have a missing love, when you can find me at Marythemedium dot com or the real Mary the Medium at gmail dot com.

13:43 But I've it's not only Alex. It was Liam Graham Glinton because I found something that he wrote before his body got hauled away by the murderers. The thing with my gift is I can see who did it too. Wow, it's a little dangerous now, it's very dankou people know you're doing that, you know. Yeah? And do you have bodyguards around you all time? No, you should. I've got angels. I might. I was about to volunteer my services, but no, you got angels. You don't need. Yeah, but there's been a list of people that I've found.

15:09 Even more so now, Yeah, I never had closure myself on two people in my life, and so I believe that families deserve closure.
