Circle opened this evening with a Prayer by Terry.

The table, as usual, begins to rock very excitedly as the opening Prayer is being said. The table then moves across the floor to Kath and then back to centre of circle - “Welcome.” says Red Cloud as he comes to the table.
“Thank you, welcome.” say sitters. Red Cloud then asks for the shamanic drum and beater - the light is put on and drum and beater are brought in and placed on the rapidly shaking table.

The second the light is put off we hear Red Cloud tapping away on the drum, very rhythmically with his fingers for a few moments, and then the beater is picked up and we can hear loud beats upon the drum.
The drum and beater are up in the air now, the drum on its side for a few moments, then it moves across to James and settles on his head, still being played by Red Cloud.
As Red Cloud beats the drum faster and faster on James’ head we see it lift away (luminous tabs on its side) and move across to where Alison is seated. From Alison the drum moves over to Pam and then back over to the table, all the time being played loudly by Red Cloud.

The drum now moves across the table to Doris, it is seated half on the table and half on Doris’s lap. Moments later the drum gives us a ‘da, da, da, da, da….da, da. [laughter] “Is that a signal to take it (the drum) away?” I (Terry) ask. “Yes.” says Red Cloud.
I take the drum away from the table, Red Cloud then asks for ‘cloth’ through the table - [we were asked weeks ago to put four pieces of six inch square cloth in the room and up until this evening we had only used one; this was used as a make-shift ribbon for guest sitter].

“Three pieces.” says Red Cloud when asked how many he would like. The red light is put on and the table rocks excitedly until the pieces of cloth are placed upon it. As the light goes off we sit in silence for at least 40 seconds, we wonder what Red Cloud can be doing with the cloths, but cannot see or hear any movement in that time. Tom then tells us that his hand has been touched, we assume by Red Cloud. Doris then tells us that her hand has been picked up and placed palm up on the table, and that something has been placed in it.

Red Cloud then says “Keep Doris safe.” through the table. “Can we look?” asks Kath. “Yes.” says Red Cloud. As the light is put on we find that Red Cloud has knotted the cloths in one corner, and that he has ‘woven’ healing energy into them - ‘to keep Doris safe’ while she is away in Austria having surgery.

[A few days after this sitting Doris informed us that she had taken the cloths to bed with her on an evening - and that on waking the next morning, she did not have the usual excruciating pain that she normally has, and only needed to take half her normal medication.]

Photos were taken of the knotted cloths and then the light was put back off. It was at this point that sitters asked Red Cloud if ‘cloths had healing powers’ - “Yes.” says Red Cloud. The table then begins to rock, and then it starts to vibrate rapidly for a few seconds before Red Cloud says ‘bye’. “God Bless.” say sitters as Red Cloud leaves the table.

Seconds later the table rises up in the air - it hovers about four feet off the floor and begins to move from side to side (as if dancing) - I ask if we have a new communicator - “Yes.” is the reply from the hovering table. I assume that our communicator wishes to speak whilst the table is still hovering, so I ask for a name and get ‘Dick’. We welcome Dick to the circle as he moves the table across to Malcolm (his son) - “Hello Dad.” says Malcolm. Dick then takes the table over to Malcolm’s wife ‘Mary’ as if to greet her also.

The table then rests in the centre of the circle - “Megaphone and small trumpet.” says Dick through the table. “Is Mum in the background?” asks Kath. “Yes.” says Dick. The red light is put on once again, and the large and small trumpets are placed on the table by me (Terry). As soon as the light is put off the trumpets are up in the air - as one moves from side to side in the air above us, the other one goes over to Mary who is seated next to Kath. [We can see the trumpets because of the luminous tabs on their ends, but obviously cannot see the sitters in the darkness]

Mary then tells us that the trumpet is under her chin, and then it is up on her head. From Mary the trumpet goes over to Kath and then over to James. Seconds later it joins the other trumpet just above the table; they both then rise up above our heads and begin to spin round in circles, intertwining with each other as they do so - first clockwise and then anti-clockwise.

The trumpets then both fly out of the circle to the back wall behind Mary - they then separate, one on each wall about seven feet apart. They rub and tap the walls for a few seconds, then both come back into the circle. One hovers whilst the other touches various sitters in turn. As one trumpet drops gently to the table, the other one comes over to me (Terry) and gently taps my arm, it then begins to tap Malcolm’s arm (Malcolm is sat to my right).

The trumpet is now up in the air conducting to the background music - then down and over to Doris who is sat to my left. The trumpet is placed over Doris’s hand by Dick; seconds later we hear Dick blowing air down the trumpet.

The trumpet is taken off Doris’s hand, and together with the other trumpet they both rise up in the air again and conduct to the music whilst in sync with each other.

The table begins to move, it is obviously communicating so I go through the alphabet and get the word ‘more’. “More trumpets?” I ask. “Yes.” is the reply. “Four more?” I ask. “Yes.” says Dick. The light is put on and four more trumpets are placed on the table with the other two which were dropped to the table by Dick before the light went on.
As the light goes off we can see the trumpets (via luminous tabs) begin to move and bunch together - three trumpets rise up off the table, seconds later the other three are up also; we have six trumpets in the air above us now, dancing and spinning round.

As the trumpets drop back to the table we see one, then another rise up again. Dick then threads one on the other, and we have one extra long trumpet made up of two. Dick takes this over to Doris and places it on her hand , then up her arm (her arm now inside the trumpets). James tells us that he can see a hand on the table (illuminated from the tabs on the trumpets that were placed on Doris’s arm).

Moments later Dick takes the trumpets from Doris’s arm - he then picks up the extra large one (megaphone) and puts three smaller trumpets inside it, this bundle of trumpets fly above us for a few moments before rising right up to the ceiling. As they slowly drop back down we have a couple of seconds of conducting with them, then they drop to the table. Dick now picks up one trumpet and he creates an arc between the circle table and the spare table seated behind Mary - hitting one table then the other very fast - this goes on for a few seconds, then one trumpet goes over to Mary, and as it hovers in front of her face, we hear ‘bye’ down the trumpet.
“Is this my Mum saying ‘Bye’?” asks Kath. “Yes.” says Dick through the table. Kath, Malcolm and Mary say ‘bye’ to Mary (Kath and Malcolm’s Mum in Spirit).

Dick then says (through the table) “Malcolm, your garden is beautiful.” Mary then tells us that her and Malcolm were sat in the garden the other day and Malcolm had said “I wonder if Mum and Dad can see our garden.” (proof that Mum and Dad were with them, and that they could, in fact, see the garden) Dick then says “But be careful tripping.” (be careful not to trip in the garden) “I’ll try to be careful.” says Malcolm. Moments later Dick says to Doris “Doris, we will be there in force.” [Meaning that Spirit will be in Austria with Doris] “Oh thank you, you will like it there.” says Doris. “Bye.” says Dick through table. “God Bless, bye.” say sitters as Dick leaves us.

Our next communicator to the table is young Millie (Malcolm and Mary’s Granddaughter - James’ sister). “Good evening Millie.” say sitters as the table rises up and dances in the air. Still dancing, the table now turns upside-down in mid-air and moves across to James and rests on his lap. Moments later the table is up and over James’ head - James is now inside the table. “Thanks Millie.” says James.

The red light is put on and a photo is taken of James inside the table which is vibrating rapidly.
“Thank you Millie.” says James as she lifts the table away from him. As the table drops gently back to the floor Millie asks for one small trumpet (through table). We gather up the trumpets left by Dick and Mary, and leave a small one on the table for Millie. The light is now off and the trumpet rises up off the table; it glides over to where Malcolm is sat, and we hear Millie say “Hello Grandpa.” down the trumpet in a very soft sweet voice. “Hello Millie, love you.” says Malcolm.

“That was so clear.” says Alison (regarding Millie’s voice down the trumpet). Millie then says “Hello Bruv.” to James down the trumpet. “Hi Millie.” says James. We ask James if his other sisters call him ‘Bruv’ - “No, but I call my brother it.” says James.
James then asks Millie a personal question - Millie answers with a ‘yes’ down the trumpet.
Millie then says “I like the new house.” down the trumpet. “You like the new house?” asks James. “Yes.” says Millie (again down the trumpet).

James then tells Millie that there is a park near the new house and that Millie will be able to go with the girls (James other sisters). The trumpet taps excitedly on the table on hearing this. [laughter] One sitter then asks how old Millie is - “She would be about fifteen now.” says James.
The trumpet is now above us conducting to the background music - “Has Grandpa Dick been teaching you?” Asks James. “Yes.” says Millie with a nod of the trumpet. “Yes, because he is your Great-Granddad isn’t he?” ask Malcolm. “Yes.” says Millie with another nod of the trumpet.

Millie then says “Don’t forget the….” down the trumpet, but we could not make out what the last word was. Millie repeated this, but still the last word was not clear enough to be heard. Millie then began to communicate through the table, and gave us ‘Money jar’ through the table. “Don’t forget the money jar?” asks James. “Yes.” says Millie through the table.

A few moments later James asks “Do you know where my passport is?” “No.” says Millie with a side-ways nod of the trumpet. “That makes two of us then.” says James [laughter]. Millie then surprised us all by saying a full sentence down the trumpet - “If you don’t find it, it might mean that you’re not meant to go.” says Millie. “That was a good sentence!” says Pam. “But a holiday would be nice.” says James.

The trumpet is now tapping excitedly on the table, then Millie communicates through table - “Clac….” “Clackers (castanets)?” I ask. “Yes.” says Millie through the table. Millie also asked for the shapes (cookery shape cutters) and some string. The light is put on and two castanets, four shape cutters and a ball of string are placed on the table by me (Terry).

As the light goes off again both Kath and James see a hand over the table. Millie then begins to play around with the shapes on the table - seconds later she gives a couple of clicks on the castanets. We then hear Millie bunching all the shapes and the castanets together, she then ties the shapes and castanets together with the string. Moments later they are up in the air and twirling round on the end of the string - “Whoo! That‘s close.” says Kath as they spin very close to her face and then up and out of the circle behind her.

We can now see a five or six foot wheel of light behind Kath as they spin faster and faster behind her - moments later they are back in the circle and dancing over the table. James now tells us that the string is being tied round his neck, then Mary tells us the same, then Kath tells us her wrist is being tied with the string, and finally Pam tells us that her wrist is being tied also.

We are allowed the red light on to have a look at what Millie has done - pictures are taken of the sitters all tied together with the string - at this point Mary is very emotional; this is because she has just witnessed her Granddaughter (in Spirit) actually speaking to James her brother - it sounds incredible, but true nonetheless.

As the light goes off again, James asks Millie if it was her that he had seen in his meditation the previous week - “Yes.” comes the reply in the air above us (no trumpet present). “Am I going to get better in the meditation?” asks James. “Yes.” says Millie through the table. “Is your voice (direct voice) going to get louder?” asks Kath. “Yes.” says Millie.

“Millie, can you help James to get confidence in his meditation?” asks Doris (James’ tutor for Medium-ship development). “Yes.” says Millie. “Thank you.” says James.
Sitters now tell us that Millie is removing the string from their necks and wrists - once this is done the bunch of shapes and castanets begin to spin over the table; they then start to dance on the table (still held together by the string). Moments later James tells us that Millie is putting his hand through one of the shapes in the bunch - we are allowed the red light once again to look, and to take photos of the bunch of shapes on James’ hand.

As the light goes off Millie takes the shapes from James’ hand and drops them to the floor next to the table - “Bye.” says Millie through the table. “God Bless you, bye.” say sitters.

Our next communicator comes to the table, but before we can ask for a name, we get “I hope you got lots of paper.” communicated through the table. I then say to our communicator “You were here earlier when I was setting up, weren’t you?” [When Tom and I were setting the room up just before the sitting, I noticed that I had only one piece of A4 paper, I told Tom that I would have to put some more in the room, but I forgot] “Yes (I was in the room earlier).” says our communicator [laughter].

Kath then informs our communicator that we must have a name before we can go further - this is a rule of our circle. Our communicator then gives us ‘Elsie’ through the table - “Is this ‘Kath’s’ Elsie?” I ask. “Yes.” says Elsie. “Aunty Elsie?” I ask. “Yes.” says Elsie. “Hello.” says Kath. “Uncle Les’s Elsie?” asks Malcolm. “Yes.” says Elsie. Kath then asks Elsie if we should tear the one piece of A4 paper in half -”Yes.” says Elsie.

I (Terry) then tear the A4 paper down the middle and put one half on the table with the pencil.
As we sit and wait for Elsie to write on the paper, instead we hear her tearing the paper [we later find that Elsie has halved it once again]. Moments later Elsie begins to write - after about a minute the pencil is placed on the paper, and we are allowed to put on the red light to see what Elsie has written - this was Elsie’s message to Malcolm “Hello Malcolm, we also sit in garden, Uncle Les plays golf, I still like a drink, Love you.”

“Oh thanks for coming darling.” says Malcolm. Kath then says “When you said split the paper, did you mean into four pieces?” “Yes.” says Elsie [Kath was just wondering why Elsie had split the piece in two]. “So you want the other piece (that Terry has) splitting in two also?” asks Kath. “Yes.” says Elsie.

I take the message from the table for safe keeping for Malcolm - “Does Aunty Phyllis come into our garden too?” Asks Mary. “Yes.” says Elsie. “I’ll have to get some more chairs then.” says Mary jokingly [laughter]. “Big hugs, miss you, love you.” says Kath to Elsie. “Bye.” says Elsie. “Bye, come again.” says Malcolm.

Our next communicator to the table is young Luke - “Doris, I am coming with you (to Austria).” says Luke through the table. I then say jokingly “We’re not going to have anyone left for the circle.” “Yes, but it is interesting that Red Cloud asked us to have next week off, isn’t it?” asks Kath. [Red Cloud indeed asked us to have a weeks rest only the other day]

“Guitar.” says Luke when asked if he had anything to say. “That’s a tall order!” say I as it is a full sized guitar we have in the room. I put on the red light and bring in the guitar and place it as best I can on the small circle table. As the light goes off we hear Luke, first tapping the body of the guitar, and then strumming on the strings - not a proper tune as such, but it did sound rather good.
Moments later James tells us that Luke has taken his hand and placed it on the neck of the guitar - Luke then strums and taps, strums and taps on the guitar - “Don’t give up your day job Luke.” says Malcolm jokingly [laughter].

“Don’t chuck that!” says Kath jokingly as Luke picks the guitar up off the table and raises it above our heads. Luke did not in fact, chuck it, he took it out of the circle over Kath’s head to the back wall, where we could hear him tapping the spare table with it. Moments later the guitar is coming back into the circle over Kath’s head again (we can see its movement as it has luminous tabs on its side).

The guitar is then placed back on the table by Luke and pushed towards me - I begin to laugh as I try to take it away from the table, as Luke tugs it back each time I try to move it. Luke eventually lets go and before I remove it we are allowed to photograph it on the table.
After the guitar is safely put away, Luke says “Drum and Trumpet.” through the table. The table rocks wildly as the red light is put on again - the drum and large trumpet are placed on the table and as the light is put off the trumpet is instantly in the air above us with the drumsticks off the drum.

As the drumsticks begin to tap the drum, the trumpet is spinning round above our heads. For the next few moments Luke is very busy, drumming and twirling the trumpet, at one point he begins to conduct to the music as Dick does, but as he (Luke) conducts, he is still drumming.
As the drumming stops Luke pushes the drum over to me to take away - “Bye.” says Luke through the table. “Bye, see you in Austria.” says Doris.

Our next communicator is Doris’s husband in Spirit ‘Freddie’ - “Paper and pencil.” says Freddie - as we only have a half of an A4 piece of paper, and there is a possibility that William may come to the table, I tear this half in half again, and put a quarter of a piece of A4 paper on the table with the pencil.

Freddie picks up the pencil in the darkness and begins to write - after about a minute the pencil is placed on top of the paper - again this signifies that whoever is writing, has finished. We ask for the red light so we may look at what Freddie has written - these were his words for Doris “Roses are red, violets are blue, I love you, I will be with you.” “Right then, we will all be in Austria then.” says Doris as she picks up the piece of paper. “Bye.” says Freddie. “God Bless you, bye.” say sitters.

Sure enough, William comes in just in time before we close. “Paper.” says William, to go with the pencil already on the table. “I do appreciate that you come William.” says Alison as he begins to write on the very small piece of paper. Once again the pencil is placed down on the paper and we put on the light to see what William has written - “This writing is amazing isn’t it” says Malcolm. “It is Malcolm.” says Mary.
The message is a personal one for Alison, and is fully understood. “Thank you very much.” says Alison. “Bye.” says William. “God Bless, bye.” says sitters.

As Red Cloud comes back to the table, Doris asks “So you are all standing by me in Austria?” “Yes.” says Red Cloud. “That is why they are having a week off here?” asks Doris. “Yes.” says Red Cloud. “Thank you, I will feel your energy, I am sure.” says Doris. “Yes (you will).” says Red Cloud. “Thank you very much for everything you are doing, God Bless you.” says Doris.

Mary then thanks Red Cloud for bringing forward James’ sister Millie, and making it possible for her to speak directly to him with direct voice. James then asks Red Cloud if the drumming at the beginning of the evening on his head, was for healing - “Yes (it was).” says Red Cloud. “Thank you.” says James.

There were no more questions, but all sitters gave thanks to Red Cloud for a wonderful evening.

Doris then closed the circle in Prayer.

Duration of sitting: one hour and eight minutes.

Below are various photos taken during this evening's sittings - some with normal flash camera, and some with red light and digi-cam:
