Dear Stella,

You asked me if I had experiences of spirit in my life.

I have had several things that have happened to me over the years that have made me aware that I have someone watching over me, but do not know who it is. I have been through some very testing times, personally, that have highlighted this link. Now at long last I need to know who it is or they are. So where did my experiences begin?

When the Cuban crisis occurred I was in the W.R.A.F. in Northumberland, sharing a billet with nine other women. We had gathered together to discuss this crisis and were all very worried about it. I said my prayers as usual and tried to go to sleep.

---I should explain that my living space consisted of a corner of the room; the bed was next to a window. I had a bedside cabinet to the right side of the bed and a single wardrobe at the foot of the bed. There was a highly polished linoleum floor and a square of carpet by the side of the bed.---

I could not get to sleep for thinking over everything. Suddenly I was aware of the most brilliant white light streaming through the window. It was like a wide beam coming in and I thought that it was probably headlights from a lorry/car outside. However. When I looked, the light came from the sky, and, as I turned to the other side to see where it went, I was aware of a monk sat at a table reading a large bible.

The pages were edged with gold and he had a hood over his head, so I could not see his face. I was quite surprised as you can imagine, so jumped out of bed onto the cold lino to wake myself up. It made no difference … he still sat there, so I decided to sit as well. I felt really reassured that there would not be a war and I need not worry. After a while he disappeared and I got into bed and went to sleep.

In the morning my colleagues thought that I had been dreaming! However, I mentioned this to a Nun that I knew and she related her own story. She was a novitiate at a Convent when the door opened and a monk came in and walked through the wall. So she was very understanding of my experience.

I have been aware of a figure at my right shoulder for many years and would like to know who it is. Lately I have someone on the other side too.

Many other things have happened which have made me very curious. The most recent was when our youngest son was very depressed and his friends decided to take him to see a person who deals in spirit attachment, he became very distressed after visiting her as she convinced him he had this particular problem, and he then became suicidal.

 Fortunately my son contacted me and we went to see him, and after a lot of worries the entire problem was sorted out. I involved the local Priest and prayed to the Archangels and my angels.

The closure to that worry was this; there are 39 steps to the front of his house and, the day after we arrived, there was a feather on every step! So many thanks to the angels for a good result.

A year ago the same son gave us a his digital camera to view the recording of his Christmas Day, no film of course, and [we were on our own,] my mother and I saw a young girl dancing around the end of the table. She was dressed in a lovely frock and had ringlets.  However, when we asked who it was, my son said that only three people were there at the time, himself, his fiancée, and her Dad, and defiantly no one else!

She certainly was a happy girl, so we said please play it again so that you can see as well. She was not there the next time … Strange!

End.
