Our thanks to our guest sitters Frannie, Annabelle, Philippa and Jake for joining us this evening - a wonderful blend of positive energy made for a wonderful experience with our Spirit friends.

All communication with Spirit this evening apart from ‘Kisses’ down the trumpet was via the table.

The circle was opened this evening with a Prayer by Kath, the table began to rock as the opening Prayer was been said, and as our hands went forward to touch the table Red Cloud said “Frannie, Jake, Big welcome.” “Thank you very much Red Cloud.” says Fran. The room was very warm, but we were given a much needed breeze as Red Cloud lifted the table up above our heads and down again; twice in rapid succession.

“Amazing energies…let’s see what happens.” says Red Cloud [laughter from Red Cloud on table] [The table shakes rapidly from side to side - this is Spirit‘s way of signifying laughter]. “Drum.” says Red Cloud when asked if he had anything else to say. The light is put on and the table is rocking rapidly as the shamanic drum and beater are brought in by Fran and placed on the table.

Kath explains to Fran and Jake that the shamanic drum is a ‘Healing’ drum and many sitters have experienced its healing qualities. As the light goes off Red Cloud picks up the drum and beater, and within seconds they are both up in the air and out of the circle. Sitters watch as the drum slowly descends behind Philippa and Kath, then almost instantly lifts back up, over Philippa’s head and onto her knee - all the while it is being beaten by Red Cloud.

“Thank you Red Cloud.” says Philippa as he gently taps on the drum on her knee - “It’s like a ‘heartbeat’.” says Kath (describing the drumbeat). The drum is now over on Fran’s hands, and the beat is faster and louder now. From Fran the drum goes back to the table and Red Cloud is now tapping sitters hands with the beater. We then have laughter from sitters as the beater taps Kath on the head, then back to fingers on the table before finally beating on the drum again.

Moments later the drum and beater is pushed towards me (Terry) to remove from the table. “Bye.” says Red Cloud. “God Bless, bye.” say sitters.

Our second communicator of the evening is Dick (Kath’s Father in Spirit) - “Good one Dick.” says Fran as Dick lifts up the table, turns it upside-down and sits it on his shoulder - the light is put on and a photo taken of Fran and the table. As the light goes off the table is off Fran and back in the centre of the circle. Within seconds the table is up again and over to guest sitter Jake - “Hello Jake.” says Dick, the table is then up on Jake’s lap giving him a hug.

The table is back in the centre of the circle - “Megaphones (large trumpets).” says Dick. As I reach over behind me to bring in the trumpets I notice that there is a lot of light coming though the blackout (the tape is coming away due to heat), but this does not seem to be bothering Dick or the energies. The trumpets are placed on the table and are immediately scooped up by Dick; both rise up towards the ceiling then separate - one hovers above the table and the other goes out of the circle over Philippa’s head, tapping it as it passes…”Ow!” says Philippa jokingly.

The trumpet outside of the circle now copies the movements of the trumpet hovering over the table, although they are six feet apart one does exactly the same as the other.
Moments later both trumpets are back together again over the table - we now see the gyro effect that Dick has mastered beautifully - the trumpets spin ever so fast in circles, and as they spin they intertwine with each other at a slight angle which gives the illusion of a gyroscope made up of light…marvellous to see!

As the spinning stops one trumpet moves across to Fran and it is placed on his arm by Dick. The other trumpet moves over to Tom and his arm is placed inside it. Both Tom and Fran are then pulled towards the centre of the table by Dick who is gripping their arms through the trumpets. Both Tom and Fran comment on the strong grip that is squeezing their arms through the trumpets. We then hear air being blown down the trumpet on Fran’s arm, then a raspberry sound down the same trumpet [laughter].

Tom now tells us that the trumpet is being pushed further up his arm, stopping at the elbow, and that he is now being pulled over towards Annabelle who is sitting next to him. Annabelle tells us that something is on her head - Tom tells us that Dick is doing something with the trumpet, but he doesn’t know what. Fran is stood now, and has been pulled over towards Annabelle also - he also says something is been done to the trumpet on his arm.

Moments later Dick communicates through the table “Look.” says Dick. We put on the red light to find the trumpets on Tom and Fran have been joined together (one thin end put inside the other thin end) and that the trumpet on Tom’s arm is resting on Annabelle’s shoulder (Tom’s arm behind her back) and the one on Fran is attached to this. “Wow!” say sitters. Photographs are taken and then the light is put off.

The trumpets are now separated by Dick and as Tom moves back to his seat, we hear kisses being blown down the trumpet on Fran’s arm. Moments later both Tom and Fran tell us that their arms are being squeezed through the trumpets again, then both are pulled out of their seats again and are guided over to where Kath is sat - again the light is put on and we find Tom and Fran’s arms (with trumpets on them) are crossed and resting over Kath’s lap [laughter]. Again we take photos; Tom cannot reach or use his camera so Philippa takes a photo with Digi-cam.

As the light goes off Dick whips the trumpets off Tom and Fran’s arms then guides them back to their seats. Dick then says “Six.” “Six trumpets?” I ask. “Yes.” says Dick. Straight away the light is back on to bring in the extra four trumpets - the table is rocking excitedly as they are all placed on it. As the light goes off again we see the trumpets being gathered together on the table; first one, then two, then three are up off the table, then all six are up, two bunches of three trumpets are flying above us.

The bunches now separate and as three hover over the table the other three fly out of the circle over Philippa’s head to the back wall, they hover there for a couple of seconds then come back into the circle and join up with the other three again. We now have six trumpets just above our heads dancing around, then they all drop to the table and we see one being put inside the other, again and again until we have one giant trumpet made up of four smaller ones.

This group of four trumpets looking like a giant ice cream cone in the darkness now taps sitters hands on the table. Moments later one of the other two trumpets is up in the air - spinning round at great speed just above us, creating a wonderful breeze as it passes our heads. “Thank you very much.” says Alison as the trumpet taps her on the head. We now hear the spare table stirring in the background, almost immediately the trumpet is down on the table and the spare table is up and coming into the circle between Kath and Annabelle.

The spare table turns upside-down as it travels in and it lands on top of the circle table. Both tables now rise up in the air…up, down, up, down they go, creating another much needed breeze in the room. The tables drop to the floor and move across to Kath where they then begin to tilt over towards Jake and myself. When they reach a near horizontal position, both stuck firmly together, they just hover there and we put on the light to look and to take photos.

Kath explains to Fran and Jake that try as they will, they would not part the tables, they are firmly stuck together with Spirit energy and stay that way until they rise back up to the vertical position. As they do rise back up, Fran’s hand is grabbed and gently slapped as is Annabelle’s, their hands are then guided up onto the top of the spare table’s legs. Both tables then rise up again with Fran and Annabelle’s hands still on top - “Amazing!” says Philippa as the tables slowly drop back to the floor.

The spare table now slides off the circle table; it looks like it is going back out of the circle between Annabelle and Kath, but it stops when it reaches them and just sits on their legs with the table-top facing the centre of the circle. “Drumstick.” says Dick. As I reach out behind me to find the drumstick I see more and more daylight coming in through the edge of the blackout board on the window. I ask Dick if all this light is going to be a problem for him - “No.” says Dick.

I bring in the single plastic drumstick and place it on the table, Dick picks up the drumstick and begins to tap out a tune on the circle table; we then realize why he hasn’t taken the spare table out of the circle as he now taps the spare table with the drumstick, then the circle table, and then back to the spare table, backwards and forwards between the two, creating a different tone on each.

The drumstick is now doing three hundred and sixty degrees round the table, touching each sitters hands in turn as it goes round, suddenly it is up and over to Philippa - Philippa now tells us that the drumstick has been put down the back of her shirt, sticking out on the neckline [laughter].

Dick now begins to drum on the circle table with his hands, then Dick begins to drum on the spare table (still seated between Annabelle and Kath) and the circle table, alternating between the two as if he were playing bongos. As Dick stops tapping the tables the circle table begins to rock, at the same time the spare table is finally lifted out of the circle (we assume by Dick) and placed back in the corner of the room behind Annabelle. “Bye.” says Dick through the circle table - “God Bless, bye.” say sitters as Dick leaves us.

“Do we have a new communicator?” I ask - there is no reply from the table, just laughter (the table shakes from side to side which indicates laughter) - “May I have a name please?” I ask. “Maybe.” comes the reply [The only time we get a ‘maybe’ through the table is when a young Spirit person is communicating, but the question is - which one?] “No name…no play.” says Kath. I ask for a name again and get ‘Robert’ - I ask Robert if he is new to the circle - “Sort of.” says Robert.

I ask Robert if he would like to go to the person he has come to see - the table moves across to Jake and Robert says “Hello brother.” “Hi Robert.” says Philippa (Jake’s Mum). The table moves across the floor to Philippa and comes to rest on her knee - “Thank you Robert.” says Philippa as the table is now up and over her head. We put on the red light to find Philippa inside the table - as we touch the table it begins to vibrate rapidly. Tom takes a photo of this and then the light is put off again.

The table immediately lifts off Philippa and it is placed back in the centre of the circle by Robert. Robert then says to Jake “I have been trying to get your attention.” “Thank you Robert.” says Jake. Robert continues “Jake, stop worrying, everything will work out, concentrate on you.” Robert then went on to give Jake another personal message which was understood by his mum Philippa. “Thank you Robert.” says Philippa.

Moments later Robert says “Clackers.” [Clackers are Spirit’s name for castanets] “Both?” I ask. “Yes.” says Robert. The castanets are brought in and placed on the table by me; they are immediately picked up by Robert and for the next few moments he is clacking them in the air above us. The noise they make is almost deafening as Robert continues to shake them, then spin them round in circles just above our eye level, using the elastic binds that hold them together to hold on to as he spins them.

Robert now takes the castanets over to Philippa and uses one to nip her arm slightly - “Love you lots.” says Philippa. “Thank you Robert.” says Jake as Robert now goes across to him and grabs his finger and shakes it. We now have the castanets clack clack clacking again, then they begin to spin around in circles ever so fast, suddenly one is taken out of the circle between Kath and Philippa by Robert, it comes back in almost immediately and is dropped to the floor whilst the other one continues to spin over the table for a few seconds more. As the spinning stops Robert communicates through the table - “Bye.” says Robert. “God Bless, bye.” say sitters as Robert leaves us.

Our next communicator to the table is young Luke - “Good evening Luke.” say sitters as Luke takes the table across to Fran and sits it on his knee. Moments later the table is up in the air above us doing full three hundred and sixty degree turns as it levitates. “Having a party.” says Luke as he drops the table back to the floor [laughter]. “Your having a party?” I ask. “Yes, ropes.” says Luke. “All three?” I ask. “Yes.” says Luke.

The red light is put on whilst I bring in the three skipping ropes and place them on the circle table. As soon as the light goes off Luke has one rope up in the air; he holds on to the rope whilst spinning it round in circles, the rope handles are on the outside edge creating that ‘wheel of light’ effect as they spin ever so fast above us. Moments later Luke takes the spinning rope out of the circle above Philippa’s head, and as he reaches the far wall he lets out more rope; this in turn makes the wheel of light bigger and bigger until we see it spinning from floor to ceiling - “Fantastic!” says Fran who is seeing this for the first time. “Brilliant!” says Philippa.

Luke brings the spinning rope back into the circle, again over Philippa’s head and it comes to rest on the circle table with the other two - Jake tells us that he sees an arm over the table as the other two ropes are now unravelled by Luke. What comes next amazes all of us as Luke now has all three skipping ropes up in the air - six rope handles spinning in the air, the effect it creates is amazing as Luke now takes all three skipping ropes out of the circle over sitters heads as they spin.

The ropes are now near the back wall again and as they spin they move towards the door and then over sitters heads and back into the circle, all in a smooth movement without once touching a sitter in the darkness. The circle table is now being moved to one side by Luke, and the ropes that have now stopped spinning, are dancing over the table - the luminous tabs on the rope handles are creating quite a lot of light and Kath tells us she sees an arm in this light as Luke dangles the ropes.

As the ropes stop dancing Annabelle tells us that one of them is now being tied to her hand/wrist. Kath and Philippa now tell us that they too have had their hands tied with the rope - moments later the rope that is tied to these three sitters begins to spin over the table [the handles are free to do the spinning]. Fran now tells us that his hand is been tied - “Clever stuff Luke.” says Fran as the ropes still manage to spin over the table.

In the next few moments Tom, Alison and Jake are all tied up with the rope [Luke is using more than one rope now] - six sitters now tied up with the skipping ropes; their hands all placed over the table. The light is put on and photos taken of all sitters tied together by Luke - “Wow!” says Philippa - “It looks like a spider’s web.” says Kath as the photos are being taken of the tied hands on a now rocking table [laughter].

As the light goes off Luke releases all sitters hands in seconds, the ropes are thrown over into my lap by Luke and then Luke says “Trumpet, drum and tambourine.” The light is put back on, and as the table begins to rock again I bring in the requested toys and place them on the table.
As the light goes off the drum is the first to move, up it goes, in the air above us, and as it hovers the tambourine is the next to lift up off the table. As Luke shakes the tambourine he takes it across to Philippa and places it on her head.

The trumpet is now up with the drum and we hear Luke play the drum and also blow on the trumpet at the same time - all sitters laugh at the funny noises Luke makes from the trumpet. This goes on for over two minutes, the energy is phenomenal, we sit in awe at what we are witnessing. Moments later Luke takes the drumstick and puts it down the back of Annabelle’s shirt, he then takes the trumpet out of the circle behind Kath and Annabelle and we listen as he plays a tune, we hear his little fingers playing with the valves on the trumpet as he plays [laughter].

The trumpet is now behind Philippa’s back, still being played by Luke. From Philippa over to Fran with the trumpet, Luke continually playing as he moves it around. Moments later all the toys are back on the table for me to remove, and as the light is put on to remove them the table rocks rapidly. “Bye.” says Luke - “Bye son, God Bless you.” say sitters as Luke leaves us.

Our next communicator to the table is a young boy called McFife. McFife is Fran’s Grandson in Spirit and he is the reason that Fran sat with us at such short notice this evening [Red Cloud gave us a message for Fran the other day - “McFife wants to talk to his Granddad.” was the message, so with six hours notice Fran was able to sit with us this evening].

We welcome McFife to the circle and he immediately takes the table over to Fran -”I can write.” say McFife - “God Bless, are you going to write me a nice letter?” asks Fran. “Soon.” says McFife. McFife then went on to give Fran some very personal messages and proof of his being around them which Fran could take and understood.

After about five minutes of communication with his Granddad McFife asks for pencil and paper [through the table], The light is put on and the pencil and paper are brought in and placed on the table - McFife then spends the next two minutes writing another very personal message for his Granddad. As McFife puts the pencil down on the paper he communicates “Got black…” Kath interrupts with “Do you want some black card and chalk?” “Yes.” says McFife.

The light is put on and black card and luminous chalk are brought in and placed on the table. About a minute later we put on the red light to find a child’s drawing of a car and trailer. I put the letter and the drawing to one side for safe keeping until I can laminate it for Fran to take away - a beautiful keepsake. As the light is put off we ask young McFife if he has anything else he would like to say - “No.” says McFife. “Have you got to go baby?” asks Kath. “Yes.” says McFife. “God Bless you.” says Fran and Kath. “Will you come again?” asks Kath - The table rocks excitedly - “That’s a ‘yes’.” I say to Fran. “Love you babe.” says Fran as McFife leaves us.

Moments later the table is up in the air and it stays there until our next communicator has given us his name through it - it is William (Alison‘s Great Uncle). “You’ve got some energy there.” I say to William as the table slowly drops to the floor. “Pa…” says William before I interrupt with “Do you want the pencil and paper?” “Yes.” says William.

We put on the red light and I place the pencil and A4 paper on the table, and after checking both sides of the paper to make sure it is blank, the light is put off. For the next minute we sit and watch the glowing pencil as it moves across the paper, and as the pencil is finally placed back on the table I ask “May we look?” Instead of saying ‘yes’ William asks for the black card and luminous chalk.

After putting the card and chalk on the table we again sit and watch as the luminous chalk slowly moves across the card - we then hear a shuffling sound on the table and wonder just what William is doing. When the light is finally put on we find that William has folded the black card down the middle and has put a drawing of a flower on the front and a heart inside the fold. “That’s beautiful.” says Alison.

The A4 paper contained a personal message for Alison which was fully understood. “Thank you very much.” says Alison as the table vibrates rapidly. “Bye.” says William. “God Bless you, thank you for coming.” says Alison as William leaves the table.

“Amazing energies, and carried on being so.” says Red Cloud as he comes back to the table - “Started with amazing energies and kept it?” asks Kath. “Yes.” says Red Cloud.
Red Cloud had nothing more to say so I asked if we may asks questions - “Yes.” says Red Cloud. Philippa and Jake both had questions for Red Cloud; their questions were answered and understood by both - “Thank you Red Cloud.” says Philippa.

We thanked Red Cloud for another wonderfully emotional evening and then the circle was closed with a Prayer by me (Terry).

Duration of sitting: One hour and eighteen minutes.
