It’s surprising how psychic activity seems to pick up around the time of a new or full moon. I’m not sure why this should be, but I’ve noticed there seems to be something in it.
At the moment our clocks are going wild. They are stopping and starting, skipping an hour or two, gaining and losing time. It’s weird. They do this for a few days and then calm down again. The centre of most of this activity is our front room, although it does happen all over the house. But the front room is particularly ‘busy.’
When we first moved here we had a noticeable cold spot at the foot of the stairs. It was just like passing through a bath of iced water. But strangest of all was the way entities seemed to come and go through this area. It was some sort of gateway between worlds – there is another out in the garden. These gateways can be areas of intense psychic activity on times.
Now I know there are going to be people reading this who do not believe in ghosts, and I don’t have a problem with that. It may be, after all, that they haven’t had the sort of experiences with the supernatural that I have. I certainly am not the sort of person to jump to the conclusion that something has been caused by the supernatural unless I’ve thoroughly investigated every other option I can think of.
Sometimes this means trying to replicate sounds or events. For example, at one time we used to hear a bell ringing somewhere downstairs in the house. This should come as no surprise to anyone who has ever been in my house, for there are bells everywhere. Large, small, nautical, even a great chapel bell for serious purification work.
So my first task when we heard a bell ringing for no apparent reason was to go round the house and try to find out which bell it was. None of them were ringing. None were vibrating. None were at the same pitch as the bell that had rung. There were several of us in the house at the time; we wrote up an account of the event for my journal and left it at that. Often supernatural events have no clear reasoning behind them – sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t.
Just as some people don’t believe in ghosts, there are also many who don’t believe in what mediums do. I have to admit that some mediums really do seem to stretch the limits of my belief. What they say is so vague and nebulous it can probably apply to 70% of the audience at any given time. But what am I to make of my husband, who is one of the most accurate mediums I have ever seen?
I mean, when he does a reading he not only gives a first name but middle names and surnames too. The only time I’ve ever seen him a bit tentative was with a foreign name he had never encountered before – but he still managed to come up with a name that the relative recognised.
For us these magical happenings are fairly commonplace. For others they may be a novelty and I accept that for some people they are a complete unknown. There IS a lot more to life than meets the eye – and there are also, unfortunately a lot of charlatans and rogues who want to rip people off.
The greatest defence we have against these latter is common sense. Keep an open mind – and keep your eyes open too!
