That is really sad that you lost so many people in a short time. I lost a son and often wonder whether to go to a medium to be able to speak to him. He died so very young and I have so many questions.

My daughter was told by Scary Mary that her sister visits and likes to see her daughter, my grandaughter, and likes to see her dance to music in her bedroom which she does. Told her a few things that were amazing.

Brian if you can be brave enough to go i am sure it would be benificial to you have you a friend or some one who would go with you for moral support. Just remember the Dead can,t hurt you if they come they come with a lot of Love i promise you June.

That is so true June. Sylvx

Does that give you comfort knowing that she is watching over you or does it scare you. Did your daughter tell her that she had died or did the medium come up with that information herself?

Having done my tree on both my parents back to around 1790 I as wondering if a medium could help me go further back with my rellies?

Jean - The medium knew nothing about my daughter or family, she even mentioned my sister by name who was having a bad time after my mother had died a couple of years ago

Brian my Grandad and i were very close and sadly he died when i was 17 i missed him so much but every night when iwent to bed he was there at my feet it stayed that way for a year. When i went to the S/Church i always knew when i would get a message as i always saw him I know he is my spirit guide and i s/times see him with a cloak and the hood is over his face. He will be there for me when it,s time for me to go so i am not afraid. June.

That is amazing that she came up with that information. It has been nice speaking with you Brian, maybe we will bump into each other again on this site. Jean

Cheers Jean............

I went to a Spiritualist church for the first time last week. Was rubbish. Need to find a propoer one I think...

Thanks Kathy. I have heard you must really listen as things said as they might not mean much at the time but may fall into place later. Brian..

Hello Brian I have been a spiritualist medium for over 20 years now, I served my time in the local spiritualist Church both on the committee and in teaching in an open circle for up and coming mediums. The only advice I can give you is to always go to a church and listen to as many mediums as you can, and YES listen carefully as to what is told to you if you are fortunate to have the medium link with you. In my time I have never charged for a reading as I believe it is a god given gift, to be able to act as a telephone link between this world and your loved ones in the next, you can't just ask that A B or C come to you it doesn't work that way Lol. Regards Julie

Thanks Julie - How did you know you were a medium? Is it something you are born with or can anyone develop the skill?

I had a very strange experience, back in 1960’s, which unnerved me, so have always believed that the dead can be contacted & do try to contact us, but have been a bit scared to deliberately try to contact anyone on the other side.

Hi Carol I think everyone is probably the same on the subject but I do believe we can. I used to mess about with an ouja? board in my teens with friends, got scary on occasions. I'm sure I got my dad on one occasion when I was about 20 with my sister. I asked a question only he would know and got the right answer!!!.

Julie, I have the same question that Brian asked. I would have thought that being a medium is a natural skill, not a taught one. From the experience I had last week it was very obvious that by and large the mediums were fishing, and the resultant 'connection' was just auto-suggestion. It was also too uniform - one person from the back on the right, one from the back on the left, one from the front right and one from front left... Wasn't convinced, which is why i need to try another one...

Brian & Jeff How did I know I was a medium ... hmmmn When I was 4 years old I nearly died by getting a sugared almond stuck in my throat, my Grandma stuck her finger down my throat and broke the nut in 2 and saved my life but when I came around I wouldn't go to Gran I kept asking for my other Gran... a few days later I saw a photo of Grandmas Mum , my Gt Gran Hannah and that was the Gran I wanted - she died 2 years before I was born, this was my first experience of seeing spirit, from that time onwards I saw spirit as clear as humans, it took me a good few years to understand what was happening to me, I eventually found my way to the spiritualist church on my other Grandmas ( paternal side) advice and for weeks on end sat watching all that went on, I had a good few messages saying that I should be doing this etc, which at the time I just laughed at!! but eventually entered into a circle to learn how to control & develop the voices and images I was getting at all times of the day and night, it all began from there ....

Thanks Julie Very interesting. It must frighten some people suddenly hearing voices or images. Wonder how many have been given medication thinking they were going strange.

Me too Brian, I love most haunted and claim sky when its on, Son gets me DVDs for birthdays etc, Caz xxxxxxxxx
