I saw a medium on Saturday ... only 2nd time i been to one ... saw one whilst staying in chesire in 2001 shortly after my son died and i was very skeptical but it was scary how correct she was. family thought the same when they listened to the tape. Saw a different one on saturday nearer to my home and she was even better. At one point she said 'you are doing your family tree .. i was gobsmacked .... she said he is saying it is frustrating but persevere ( scary cos on friday had left message saying i felt like packing it in cos am stuck in front of that blinking brick was. Also said 'bless ur cotton socks will be like looking for a needle in a haystack'. I started to laugh and said ' well if it is my grandad ask him where his grave is or his ashes cos tis him i stuck on lol' she said u in right direction ... so now do i spend that 44 quid to do a search at cemetary ... onward christian soldiers as they say xxxxxxxx ps she said lots of other things i just got to get em trascribed from cassette to cd xxx

That's the sorta fing I'd love to do!! Go to a medium not trawl through a cemetry :-))) lol did you find out any other interesting stuff??? I'd love for someone to come through and tell me there was a legacy for me but give me clues to find it then follow it like a treasure hunt but only finding a gorgeous ring at the end and i'd refuse to let anybody sell it on me (i have a thing about rings and handbags!)

Patricia, How facinating, I can understand anyone who is sceptical about this and I have only seen one medium in my life, many years ago now. I was sceptical at the time but I'm willing to try most things once. Over the following five years, everything he told me that night, actually occurred. From then on I was convinced and although I have never seen one since, I do believe that certain people do have such a gift. My ex MIL. saw the same guy for many years.......and was always convinced he had the gift. Much of what he told me was the kind of news no~one really wants to hear........but, they did happen, time has elapsed, and many of those things are now resolved. Jen

Patricia I also saw one a week last Saturday. I had seen her early last year and she said a few things which rang true. At the end I asked if she ever got names of the people who 'come through' to her and she said the name Annie, which was my mum's real name (everyone knew her as Ann!). I just went cold!! This time I told her I was more interested in the past than the future as I was doing my family tree and she immediately said she wanted to take me to Aintree in Liverpool. My gggrandmother, according to 3 census returns, was supposedly born in Liverpool and I have not been able to find her birth record since I started 3 years ago. Her age varies so she was born 1837 - 1840. She also said many other things which fitted with my research. At the end of this reading she came out with my maternal grandmother's name - Alice!. I never knew Alice as she died 5 years before I was born. I found it all fascinating and a bit spooky but will definitely go again. Lynne

Speaking as a medium with over 20 years experience, why are you all so surprised when we are accurate??? I am curious - a true spiritualist medium is only here to prove that life is everlasting, the only way we can do that is to do what we always do - be a telephone between the spirit world and this world, and give you evidence from the 'other; side - something that is personal to you and only you, so you know that your loved ones are near to you always, there are many 'fakes' out there, a genuine medium usually does not charge for a god given gift, but will help people when the need is great.

Julie I am NOT surprised that she was accurate, just fascinated that people are able to do this. It was a wonderful feeling, knowing my mum and gran were watching over me! The medium also said she felt she wanted to put me in her place which she interpreted as me having the 'gift'. She said I probably will not use it but my granddaughter also has it and will use it later in life. This same lady had told my son in law last year that someone close to him was going to have a health problem connected to the right side of their body. In April this year, my daughter had an operation for a brain tumour (which she was probably already suffering from at the time). SIL never mentioned this to daughter until after she had the op. I really have a great respect for you and anyone else who is able to do this. Lynne

Patricia it is good that you enjoyed your reading. I find it fascinating what these mediums can do. It must be a wonderful gift to have and share with other people. I would really love to go and see a medium but don’t no who to see. All the ones that advertise in local free papers charge about £30/40 each how much do other people pay? Julia

Hi Lynne It is not always a joy to be a medium - sometimes I feel like a sponge that can't soak up anymore - if you see what I mean, it is a way of life, not something that I went out to search for, from the age of 4 I have been able to see and hear and speak to the spirit world, it is a way of life to me, I have never charged for a sitting, as I believe that God gave me this gift, so I must use it how he wishes me to use it, I have always kept quiet about being a medium but as I am leaving GR 1st June I thought it might be interesting to get some feedback.

Julia I paid £10 and was with her for almost an hour, sat behind her market stall in the freezing cold - LOL. But it was worth every penny. Lynne

Granny Lynne thats not bad. I think part of the reason I'm holding back from seeing anyone is I just dont have that kind of money. Julia

Julie I think it's brilliant that you don't charge, I believe there are some unscrupulous (sp!) people out there who charge a lot and give nothing. After the reading last week, we bumped into my niece and her daughter, Roxanne. I was telling them what the medium had said and when I mentioned my mu,, Roxanne said she had 'seen' my mum when she was little (she's 14 now). Apparently she has 'seen' a few people who have passed away and when she described them to her gran (my sister) they were all family members! This made me wonder whether the medium had meant Roxanne, rather than my granddaughter having the 'gift'. Lynne
