CHAPTER 1

A Dawning Awareness of Spirit

Childhood Experiences

My earliest memory of spirit people, or shadow people as some like to call them, was when I was a very young child. My parents, two sisters and I lived in a council flat in an area of Edinburgh called Wardieburn. I remember waking up one night and seeing people walking down the hall beyond the open bedroom door, heading in the direction of the bathroom. This happened on several occasions as I lay awake and watched. To be honest, I was terrified. Eventually I mustered the courage to wake one of my sisters and together we went to have a look in the bathroom. There was no one there. I would see these shadow people walk down the hall almost every night.

The next experience that I can recall from memory was when I was staying at my grandparents' house. I would stay with them almost every weekend and I would sleep in their bedroom on bunk beds at the side of their double bed. I remember waking my granny up most of the nights that I stayed there because there were people (shadow people) in the room. This always resulted in her comforting me. 'They won't hurt you,' she would say. 'In you come to my bed.' I always found this to be very reassuring. I have really enjoyable memories of the visits to my grandparents.

I spent quite a lot of time by myself wandering around the grounds of the castle that my grandfather looked after and never really felt alone. Often I would be aware of speaking to myself in my own mind. I was constantly asking questions, and sometimes I would hear an answer. To keep myself amused when I was wandering around on my own I used to play a game in my mind. Now I can understand what it was that I was doing but at the time it was a just a game to me to see how far I could shift my consciousness to the side. Sometimes I was able to shift my consciousness (which felt like I had entered into another world or dimension) to such a degree that I would feel as if I was going to faint.

'A strange game for a child to play,' I can hear you say. Nevertheless, it was a game that I liked to play when I was on my own. I did not know that even back then my spirit friends were conducting experiments with me involving the altered states of trance. It was not until later on in my life, when I had some experience of trance mediumship, that I was able to begin to understand what had been happening all those years before.

Another game that I used to play involved heat through my hands. I would ask one of my sisters to lay her arms on the floor and I would put my hand over her arm or hand. I would then request that the part of their body under my hand to heat up. 'Heat up, heat up, heat up,' I would say, and then, 'go cold, go cold.' Afterwards, I would return to, 'Heat up, heat up.' My sisters were always up for this, but after a while it would start to 'freak them out' and the game would stop. I now know that this was the Spirit World getting me to experiment with the use of using spiritual healing energy.

Children are innocent when it comes to all things spiritual. When a child has an imaginary friend it may be imaginary to us, but it will seem very real to them. Children do not dismiss the Spirit World as easily as we do; they are openly receptive to whatever they see, feel and become aware of. Their minds have not been conditioned like those of adults. Children's minds and thoughts are pure and uncorrupted. They are willing to accept anything and everything, seen and unseen, in our physical world. It is not uncommon for a child to tell their parents that they have spoken to loved ones (grandparents) who have visited them during the night or through the day. Often these loved ones have passed into the Spirit World before the child was born. Nonetheless the child is able to pick them out from a photograph.

Adults and parents should encourage their children to have an open mind concerning the Spirit World. They should recognize that it is acceptable for children to have imaginary friends. I have never heard of an imaginary friend causing a problem for a child. The problem usually arises due to the parent or guardian failing to understand, or to accept, what is happening. The people from the Spirit World are never going to harm anyone. They are love, nothing less, and they only want to bring that love to those of us on the material plane, together with the understanding that we are all connected through the love of Divine Spirit.

Like many people who were visited by the spirit people at an early age, these weird but wonderful experiences started to leave me as grew older. Eventually they ceased altogether. This is a common occurrence for people who are aware of Spirit when they are very young. I suppose that one of the reasons for this happening is that not all children are aware of the Spirit World, and when we go to school children are all too willing to ridicule any child who is a little different. The Spirit World is all about protecting and supporting. It is not about hurting.

I was lucky to have grandparents who were supportive and who had an understanding of the unseen world of Spirit. The next time a parent scolds a child for speaking to an 'imaginary friend', I ask that they consider that perhaps the imaginary friend is not so imaginary after all. I was very privileged to be able to spend lots of time with my grandparents when I was young. My grandfather came to live with us when my granny passed over to the Spirit World. He was responsible for introducing me to Spiritualist churches at a young age. These churches always seemed familiar to me and I felt very comfortable in the surroundings. I loved to watch the medium from the platform speaking to the shadow people and talking about people's loved ones who were no longer of this world. I have no doubt that my granddad was well aware that there was something different about me, and that this is why he encouraged me to attend these spiritualist organizations (in order that I would know where to turn to when the time was right).

Reintroduction to the World of Spirit

I was thirty-eight years of age when the Spirit World decided that it was time for them to reintroduce themselves into my life. One evening, when I was lying in my bed watching television, I started to see shadow people out of the corner of my eye. This began as movement that would catch my attention, but I was never able to lock onto what I was seeing or feeling.

Another evening, when I was going to sleep, as I closed my eyes a bright light seemed to come on in the room. I remember opening my eyes, expecting to see one of my children standing by the door, but to my surprise the only thing I saw was a pitch black room. 'Strange,' I thought to myself, and closed my eyes again. A few minutes later the bright white light returned. Again I opened my eyes to find the room in total darkness. This time I remember exclaiming, 'What the hell is going on?' as I...
