Spirit Cats

Recently I came across a photograph taken at my mum's residential home. Let me explain my mother before she past to spirit had a blocked heart valve and we took her on holiday to a seaside town in the West Country, as she could breathe better by the sea. She fell in love with it and in her eighties decided she wanted to move there, which we managed to arrange with a little bit of help from unseen friends.

During one of the visits this photographs was taken of my favourite feline resident. It was one of many photographs taken that day. When we developed it we were amazed by what we saw. A cat's tail and the beam of pink light. I should explain to you the lady who ran the home loved cats including many strays and we felt that this was one of her recently departed cats returning with such a beautiful pink light to say thank you.

Comments welcome

Haunted Shop

The antique shop where I work, is located in what was originally an old general store. The oldest part of the store was built around 1860 and the rest was built in 1910. There have been many spirit sightings over the years, the incident that I'm about to describe happened about 10 years ago.

It was daytime and the shop was open, with customers milling about. One of the customers was shopping in a narrow alcove area that leads to the basement. The basement steps are not enclosed, they are open with a low hinged gate going across them. As this customer walked through the narrow alcove, he peered over the little gate in order to get a peek into the old basement. As he did this, the face of an old man suddenly flew up the stairs, out of the basement, and stopped right in front of the customers face for a few seconds and then melted away. The customer began screaming that he had seen someone in the basement. The employees that were working that day, grabbed hammers and various tools and ran down the steps, thinking that they would find a vagrant. The poor shaken man that had witnessed the spirit, explained that the old man he had seen had no body, that he was some sort of spirit and that all he saw was his head. When asked to describe what he had seen, he said that it was the head of an old man and that he had a very long sharp pointy nose.

About a year later, another customer was shopping in the store. This particular customer was a gifted clairvoyant, and she asked the employees if they were aware of a spirit in the building. She described the spirit as being an old man, wearing coveralls, and said his most prominent feature was his long sharp pointy nose!

This spirit was further identified some months later by yet another customer. This time the customer was an elderly man, who had lived near the shop as a child. The current owner of the store asked the elderly gentleman if he had ever shopped in the store, when he was a child, back during the time the building had been the old general store. "Oh yes" he replied. He remembered it well and could even recall the original shopkeeper. He described him as a large cranky old man, who always wore long coveralls, and he said "I'll never forget his long sharp pointy nose!"

So True.....

Recently I met a woman (Jo) who's husband (Pete) died 12 months ago. It was a strange instance, as I had met Pete about 3 months earlier. Pete had come to me via a mutual friend (Anne). In time, Anne told Jo what had transpired, Jo was curious but left it at that. After 3 months I agreed to meet with Jo and Anne to answer some of her questions.

As I entered her home, I was immediately confused. She had rearranged furniture and Pete was letting her know (a validation). After making this comment, I was led outside, Pete was taking me on a tour of his life on earth and what it meant to Jo. She was in shock at how quick the information came.

It was then, out of the blue, he made reference to her wedding rings. He made comment about her and the rings, something that I was unsure of what I was saying and how it was coming across. It was then I looked up at Jo and Anne and realised they were both in tears, with their eyes and mouths wide open. I stopped. I took a step back, regathering my thoughts. I left it still and quiet waiting to take my lead from Jo and Anne. Anne told Jo point blank that she had not mentioned anything to me.....I was unsure what that meant. Jo cleared the air.

When Jo and Anne were talking in the days prior to my visit, Jo mentioned that she was unsure of when to remove her wedding rings, how much time, who will be hurt, the usual questions. It was a question, put out to the universe, to her husband, seeking guidance as what to do, not a test for me. Well, Pete answered it for her, through me, and she was in a state of shock. The rest of the day was full of validation for Jo.

It was also a day when someone when speaking to their deceased loved one, didn't look up into the sky. Jo asked where he was and she put her shoulders back, head up and at her eye level, spoke to him. To me, that was amazing! That made my day. She could not see him but she trusted in her own senses, without seeing him, she saw exactly the man she needed to. Bliss.

Telephone calls from spirit

Just after the New Year (not this last one, but the one before) my partner and I were spending some time at a favourite retreat in Kent.

I was sitting quietly, when much to my surprise I saw the seat go down as if some invisble force had sat down. I called my partner and said "I think we have a visitor". As the days passed more odd events occurred things began to disappear only to reappear on the window ledge. Our new friend was certainly making their presence felt. When we went to check our e-mails a few days later the whole thing started to make sense. I had been aware of an elderly lady and the e-mail confirmed this - a friends grandmother had past to spirit. The lady in questions was very spiritually advanced and was determined her grandson knew without a doubt she had survived death and had arrived safely in the next world. Someone else who sees spirit saw her standing behind me.

As days past I begun to build up a picture of this lovely lady and even now as I write this I can feel her love. I hasten to add I had never met the lady in question, which I am sure is my loss. She gave me so much information regarding things on the earth plane including seeing spirit herself during that time. Such evidence is overwhelming and at a later date her grandson confirm this was indeed true. It also became apparent of the great bond there was between the two such love. Without doubt grandma watches his every move on the earth plane. Love like this can never die.
Some months later I had my mobile phone ring and there was his number on the other end. Just as I was about to answer it, it cut off - I rung back and when I ask what the call was about I was told they never rung. I had thought this odd, but just thought my number had been rung by accident. About a week later I had a call from the same office, but on a different telepbhone number, but when I rung almost had my head bitten off for the person on the other end had been dealing with a very difficult call so couldn't have rung me. The only words that issue from my mouth was "spirit" and I am sure he thought this was spirit of a different kind. There was only one explanation and when I spoke to her grandson a little later his first words were "How many times" - it seems grandma had been ring his mum from his mobile.
I have to say grandma still makes and appearance, as and when her grandson is under stress the taps in my house suddenly become immovable. There is no doubt that she will always be there for him, as I said love never dies.

The Sainsbury's shopping mystery

To this day I cannot return to one particular branch of Sainsburys, because of an incident, which even now remains a mystery not only to me but the staff as well. I had gather a basket full of groceries, which included two packets of smoked salmon pieces (which at that time was the only branch I had found that stocked them). When I arrived at the till and went through the checkout I was about to put my purchaes away including the two packets of salmon pieces when I noticed one had disappeared. The checkout girl looked all around the counter, under the counter and checked my receipt. It had gone through the till, but nevertheless the packet was still nowhere to be seen. She called the assistant manager and I opened my freezer bag to show him it was not in there and he inturn called his manger. They all began to search for the salmon pieces. Meanwhile I was told to go and get another one. They continued searching. When I left the shop they were still searching and I understand from my next visit that it has never been found.

We met an angel,

You may or may not know we have been led to believe we will be starting a centre, but have been searching for it in what one might call spirit time. We were led to a place in the Quantocks. This is the story of how we encountered an angel, who possibly saved us a muddy accident. We set off to find the locality on a rather wet day. It had been raining for some days and the roads were filled with pools of water. Our friend Lin had said she would take us. off we set and arrived at a village called Holford. We began to follow the road and then suddenly without warning the signs for the place vanished and we were wondering where to go. Just at that moment a rather elderly man appeared dressed in a bright pink fluorescent new jacket. Lin asked him the way and we began the climb up a rather steep muddy incline. When we reached the top we were still completely lost. As the day was so grim we decided maybe we were not meant to get there, although below us we could see the house we were so desperate to reach. Lin turned the car round and suddenly there we were stuck in the mud. Lin being a person of quick wits and even quicker actions soon got us out of trouble and it was just at that point the man in this bright garb re-appeared. He indicated that the road we wanted was in front of us, but would investigate it as he felt it would not be advisable to try to go down without further investigation. He went off and returned with these words "I think you had better go to Kilve as we don't want you getting stuck in the mud" (we learnt at a later date this incline was steep to say the least). Lin pulled away and when I looked back he had vanished. Nowhere to be seen. The strange thing was his pink fluoresent jacket had not a spot on it. We could if we had taken that road got stuck or worst still which could have eaily been the scenerio had a nasty accident. Even how when I think of it I get goose bumps, but thank our angel whether of the earth plane or other wise. I ask you how could a man of his age climb so quickly and then there was the jacket.

The camera from thin air

Before I relate to you my personal experience of receiving an "apport"from the spiritual plane, for those of you who are unaware of what an apport is let me explain .
An apport is an object which is transported from the physical plane into the realms of spirit and then returned at a later date, either is same location or many miles away. The time period between the object being removed and restored also varies from afew minutes to many years, indeed it may not be returned to the orginal owner, but given to someone in more need than those who own it previously. Think of allose the loose change and larger notes you have lost over the years?
To return to my own experience of an apport now. This occured when I was visiting the Spiritualist Association of Great Britain (which I did regularly at the time to see many well known mediums demonstrating their mediumistic abilities. When I attended demonstrations of this kind I usually look a litre bottle of mineral water with me as I found I needed to drink a large amount of water when attending a demonstration of spiritual contact.
On the evening in question I went with my partner to attend a sand reading demonstration (one of the oldest forms of divination) given by a medium who was in her late nineties. Although I had drunk copious amounts of water during the day and I had my usual litre bottle with me shortly after I entered the room I was struck by an overwhelming thirst. The large bottle of water was gone in minutes and the thirst got worse, my mouth became unbearably dry and I began to cough. The cough got seadily worse and I began to feel nauseous as though I was going to be sick, at this point my partner was also struck by a dry cough.
Suddenly above the noise of our coughing there was a loud unmistakable "clunk" as though some heavy object had fallen to the ground behind us, immediately both of us stopped coughing. My partner who was nearest to the source of the noise, looked behind her into an empty row of seats, she then said "There is a camera on the floor behind us" "A camera! It must be yours" I said because the week previously we had brought a camera with us for many and various reasons. "It's not mine! I didn't bring it with me!" she replied emphatically. Hearing this I decided I had better take a look myself, which I did and there sure enough on the floor in the row of seats behind us was a camera of a make I didn't recognize.
Subsequent conversations with the gentleman who was acting as the medium's chairperson revealed that the camera belonged to another medium who also worked at the Spiritualist Association of Great Britain. Apparently, he had been using the rom a fortnight ago to take photographs in that very room and by the end of the day it had vanished. Although several searches had been made of the rooms the camera was no where to be seen.
Several days later the medium in question was enjoying a cup of tea in the mediums room when one of his colleague's told him that is mother was standing behind him holding the camera and went on to tell him that the spirit world had taken the camera to look at the photographs he had taken (however, when the photographs were developed there was nothing to suggest that the camera had travelled between the two worlds).
On our next visit to the Spiritualist Association of Great Britain there was a final revelation when we bumped into the very person who had chaired that evening. He went on to tell us that a couple of days after the incident he had a conversation with another woamn who was present in the room that evening. She told him she had been sitting in the row of seats on the opposite side of the aisle to us, somewhat further back and about at the time of my coughing fir she saw the camera pass from the top of her field of vision and clatter to the floor. She had been too astonished to talk about it at the time, but as far as she could tell although, she hadn't actually seen it, it was as if it the camera appeared out of thin air!!
