"When Spirits decide your path in life, you have no choice but to listen."

I realised that I could see Spirit people from the age of 5 years old, but at this time I could not hear them. I kept this to myself when I realised that nobody around me could see what I could see, for fear of being ridiculed.

As the years passed, I remained uncomfortable with the idea of sharing my visions with anyone because I thought there was something wrong with me. How could I tell people that I could see a monk standing at the end of my bed, or see dead people watching me or that I saw spirit children playing?

When Spirit decides that you have been chosen, they will stop at nothing until you come to terms with this ‘gift’ until you work with them to help others.

I believe I have been given the responsibility to be an instrument, where souls from the other side can communicate with me. I now look at it as a blessing, but there was a time when I could not understand any of it.

Often, to get my attention at night, Spirit would come forward and want to communicate with me. I would hear my name very clearly being called and looked to see who it was, or spirits would argue amongst themselves as to who would speak to me first. On many occasions they have thrown my quilt from the bed, taken objects from the room and dangled them in front of me so that I would speak to them. I once even awoke to find coins arranged on their side in a formation on the window sill in my room.

Many years ago after recovering from a traumatic accident where I was crushed by a lorry against some railings, I had to return to the Hospital after many months of rehabilitation. By rights I should have died that day!

The Doctor discovered that a part of my brain was showing extra activity and he could not work out why. He told me that he had only ever seen one other case like mine. I then had to confess to him of my ‘Gift’. He was sceptical and light-heartedly asked me to demonstrate this to him. Without any effort on my part I proceeded to tell him various things about his life and family members that had passed over which convinced him of my gift. Although he could not explain or understand it, he confirmed what I saw and heard were true.

I was still wary of acknowledging my ‘gift’ as a means to help others, although I was repeatedly told by Spirit that this is what I should be doing. I found that after suffering such a traumatic experience, my psychic ability had been enhanced. At the time I had an excellent job and even if I did go ahead, I wondered how I was going to have the time to fit it all in. Without elaborating, I was made redundant. Who said ‘Spirits move in mysterious ways’?

Now I had no excuse or reason not to embark on my chosen path by Spirit.
