General Chat

When I was at Ragdale Hall last weekend we had a talk from a brilliant speaker , Adrian Hunt , who does Reflexology and other treatments. He spoke about Auras and showed us how to lift a lady of 8st using only our fingers , there were 4 of us -2 lifting under her arm and 2 at her knees , we lifted her several feet off the chair with no effort --it was magic !!!

If I don't understand how these things work I find it very scarey.. did they explain how it works?

Im open and fascinated Ros!!!

We all rubbed our hands together to make a heat, then put them on top of the lady`s head one on top of each other not touching . Then someone counted to 20 , we clasped our hands with 2 index fingers in front and put them under the lady`s knees and armpits then just lifted up . The heat creates a bubble which helps her to rise ,

I have often been tempted by such things Ros ............................ but I am one of life's eternal sceptics.

Can you tell us any more ?

Who was the lady ?

just one of the other guests at Ragdale , we were all guests.

We used to do that with friends when I was at school many years ago. It is more science than paranormal I'm afraid.

oooohhh Elva, now that Ouija stuff is scarey.

Let me just get this straight Elva.

You were able to do this as kids at school ?

my Oh said he tried it at school but don`t think it worked !!!

Talking of Ouija boards I would never touch one again.
The first thing is my colleagues and I were messing around with one and I joked that I didn't have anyone on the 'other side', within a couple of months I lost 2 relatives suddenly and unexpectedly.

Secondly after we started the glass started to go manic spinning around fast on the spot and then at the same time move around the board. It was impossible for anyone to be able to control it. It kept spelling two strange words which didn't make sense we asked was it spelling it correctly and it said yes. Then it spelt a word in english which freaked us out, but one girl just froze. It turned out the weird words were in Norweigen 1 was her father's pet name for her & the other was her name and the other word spelt out was murder. It turned out her father had died in mysterious circumstances aboard a ship.

Hence why I won't touch one again. Lou

But did it work Elva ?

I hear what you say Lou

In my early days of working life several of us used to use a Ouija at lunchtime for a bit of fun.

I am perhaps one of the most hard nosed of hard nosed men.

But I shall forever be totally perplexed by what I witnessed in those days.

But how ?

Didn't any of you seek answers ?

Keith, yes it works. We used to sit a friend on a school chair then clasp our fingers together but with the index fingers pointing out then place these index fingers under the seat of the chair next to the legs, so 4 persons, 1 to each corner of the chair then lift. We could never work out how it worked but we never thought it was magic or anything paranormal. We didn't rub our hands together first or hold them above the seated persons head either.

But what made you do this in the first place Hoob ?

Yep me too we used to do this at work in the 70's. Used to get a person at the head feet and one either side. If I remember we used to chant something but cannot remember what it was and yes we used to raise people off the ground and they were no lightweights either with just our two index fingers.

Its really weird and would love to know the scientific reason for being able to do this.

Used to play with the ouija board too. Not that its something I feel should not be dabbled in. If you cannot see or touch what you are talking to leave it.
Would scare the pants off me now.

Keith, can't remember really, I suppose some other kid showed us then we all had a go. I think its a parlour game. Can't even remember anyone ever giving an explanation to it but I think its science stuff, physics and all, lol.

Off to bed now to dream of archimedes and a bath full of water. night folks

I still have a million and one questions.

But I wonder if, with Ros's permission. I might come back tomorrow with a refreshed mind ?
