Looking At The Crystal Ball: The Next 30 Years By David Witkege
From the fantastic to the mundane, local psychic, Debbie Carvelli predicted Roanoke future for the next three decades.
Somebody in your family, Uncle Larry, Cousin Amy, your dad, somebody has incredibly acute hearing. You don’t even dare think of a secret if he or she is even in the neighborhood. These people seem to utilize a Broad Bandwidth in the information Stream bombarding all of us. Call these unusually sensitive individuals psychics, or clairvoyants (or, less kindly, lunatics). The fact that many of these people are consulted yet by the most pragmatic of organizations-police departments all over the country is an indication that whatever we may think, at some level, these special people truly are effective and their abilities real.
Debbie Carvelli is one of these special people. Born in Clarksburg, W.VA., she realized at a young age that she was intuitive. Buy the time she was in high school she was getting calls from all over the state as well as writing an astrology column.
While earning her B.S. in education then went on to earn a Masters in Educational Psychology from West Virginia University, she taught parapsychology at Parkersburg Community College and at a nurse’s class at Camden-Clarke Hospital in Parkersburg. Since 1988, she has taught courses in psychology, abnormal and parapsychology at Virginia Western Community College.
Along the way, Debbie has appeared on television in Clarksburg, done guest spots on the talk radio station in Morgantown, W. Va., worked with the police department in several states, appeared on national television’s “Sightings”, program and on Channel 7 News with Steve Pardon here in Roanoke, offering annual predictions for 9 years dealing with local, political and national events. She co-hosts ghost tours of the area. Some people might chuckle at that, but some truly skeptical attendees have finished an evening with Debbie with a new perspective and a new awareness.
We asked Debbie to help us with a look forward 30 years into the future of our valley and the magazine. The responses range from somewhat mundane “well of course”- material to rather startling.
- The valley will no longer be the “allergy bowl; and a trap for polluted air. This is because an earthquake is going to open the valley at points, providing for more circulation.
- Part of the opening of the geologic valley will result from massive land development, and part of the cleaner air is going to result from non-fossil fueled automobiles.

- Information will come to light about The Lost Colony of Roanoke.
- The year 2005 will be full of developments in the field of education.
- With the addition of new educational institutions will come support for a range of alternative health therapies.

- Good fortune is going to rain down on the Roanoke Valley and along with it government funds to make good things happen.
