Sightings were by day and evening staff, [of both male and female spirit people] in rooms, corridors, and on stairs, of both ground floor and upstairs.

A spiritualist medium is best for these problems, the 'Bell Book and Candle' just isn't going to do it - as they already had found out by the time I got there.

The method of operation generally used by the spiritualist medium:

Myself, and two of the nurses who had witnessed the problems sat in the bedroom together and first of all opened in prayer.

After first finding out that they were not afraid, I asked the two nurses to keep silent even if I seemed to speak to them, because at times I do speak out loud, as well as ‘thinking-talk which is silent’. This talking out loud I sometimes do unconsciously, it might be a consideration by spirit so that the sitters know a bit of what is going on, so avoiding long spells of boredom – who knows?

Then with the patient help and love of my guides and helpers, I was allowed to see the first person.

1) An old lady looking for the kitchen upstairs. One of the nurses confirmed that the previous flat for the Matron had been all altered into bedrooms.

2) Young lady in a room on the far side of the building [where there used to be big trees outside,] was looking out of the window and would not turn around to talk to me, but talked over her shoulder. She was worried about her cat. When asked why she replied, “Who is going to feed her?�? I tried to find out what year this was “I don’t know 1980 something.�? She would/could not answer any questions about her self. I described her as young teens or twenties, slight built and very nervous:

Deciding that the cat might have passed on too, I requested that my spirit friends bring her here to lead the young lady through the door of light. Just then a door opened, the spirit room lit up and the cat came running up to her and the reunion was very touching, she went gladly with a light being into the light spirit room.

3) An old man, who was very confused, [Alzheimer’s] I held his hand and showed him his family through the doorway, he went straight through to them.

4) A very strong lady next who very proudly told me she used to run this place! When I asked why she did not help these girls to get rid of the unwanted spirit people. She replied, “That’s not my job!�? --- This was confirmed by the description of the lady who was a very firm disciplinarian; she died shortly after retiring early, due to cancer. They said she was difficult person to work with.

5) A ‘black’ man figure, too fuzzy for me to see him properly, came with the nasty smell of rotting; this was found to be central in the airing cupboard. He would not show himself and covered his face with a hood. He persisted in trying to get me to look into a bag he was showing me. I knew by instinct that inside the bag was a figure decomposing in there, possibly a baby, it was so small. Because I refused to do so and did not show any emotion but tried to get him to go through the door of light he went, but not I feel through the right door.

Here this first session ended.

As I suspected the black figure returned to be a nuisance again. 

Having told the nurses I thought that he had not gone through the right door, they called me back again three weeks later, incidentally there had been three weeks of no problems, then the bad smells and the frightening figure appeared again around the airing cupboard and bedroom only.

My spirit guide/helper on this occasion at my request made himself known as a Minister. The nurses did not know him.

The dark figure appeared and was recognised as the same entity from last time.

On being asked “Are you going to go through the door of light? A firm “No!�? Was the reply so I asked for reinforcements to help, these new helpers appeared as a group of spirit people who surrounded him and started talking.

A fight broke out. A lot of foul language from the dark figure that by know could be seen by myself on the clairvoyant level ]of course!]as a bald man with tattoos, very menacing and muscular.

The helpers subdued him and carried him into a room that looked like a prison hospital, he was strapped into a bed and given an injection, he then went quiet.

I asked for an explanation. This man was here a long time ago at the offices that used to be behind the nursing home, the police had to be called to remove him. The staff nurse heard that he was sectioned after the incident. She said this all happened when she first started in nursing and arrived there she was very young at the time.

Warning: Do not try this at home!

Rescue work is a very specialised service, and definitely not for the inexperienced, so please do not try to do this without training … The caution here of course is that if a medium is not strong willed enough, and well versed in the mechanics of rescue work, they are going to be out of depth and intimidated.

An absolute confidence in the guides, which can only be built up over a long period of time, is essential before even contemplating doing this work. It had long been my opinion that I would not touch anything like this with a bargepole!

I now reason on the more subtle levels, that the argument given by others of “spirit can sort out their own problems by themselves, so why should they need us?�? perhaps is too simple, also, maybe the answer is that they actually don’t need us, but we do need them.

They allow us to help them for reasons of all our progressions.

Perhaps if I had not been afraid of the subject I would not have needed to learn the lesson of spiritual trust, and that love is for all the souls … ‘lost’ or otherwise.

And remember here motive is important, as in all spiritual work, spirit will not allow harm to come to us when acting in good faith, i.e. without ego.

I find it interesting that this duty followed on from a request to come to a private house of a friend in which I was successful in talking to the etheric presence and showing him the door of light. The cause of this problem was the incautious use of an Ouija board.

Later, another incident of a parishioner being troubled by a presence in his house, had the same result of the figure finding the light, with this time the young man being recognised as the son of a friend who died near by on a part of the district where rough ground caused him to fall on a sharp instrument and he consequently died of his injuries.

These two parishioners were themselves of course Spiritualists, this meant that they knew that help was needed and where to find it, whereas at the nursing home they found me by personal recommendation from a relative of one of the nurses.

Makes you think ...eh?

End.
