“I see dead people”

Author: Deborah J. Hughes

The title of this blog is a famous line in the “Sixth Sense” movie that became a common known phrase. The boy in that movie wasn’t a medium per se, but he definitely had the gift of mediumship. I must admit a fascination for people who are sensitive to “the other side”. I believe we all have the ability to see through the “veil” into other planes (dimensions, realms, spheres of existence) but a majority of us do not. Where some of us are born with a natural ability to use this “gift”, the rest of us must strive to develop it (me!), or are content to leave it to others to do. And some, of course, condemn the practice or refuse to accept such things even exist!

My first brush with a medium was when I attended a Psychic Fair in my twenties. I’d been experiencing some amazing spiritual occurrences and decided to attend a psychic fair to see if anyone could explain to me what was happening (I was having visions, hearing sounds, dreaming some pretty awesome stuff and having lots of interesting coincidences). After walking around and visiting the various “vendors”, I found myself attracted to an Indian man who had a large crowd around him as he answered questions. He looked over the crowd and caught my eye and waved me forward. My heart pounding, I walked up to him and he put his hand on my shoulder. He looked me in the eye and said, “You are attracting many spirits. They surround your light. You have a gift you are not using.” Of course I wanted to know what my gift was even as I ignored the uncomfortable thought that dead people were surrounding me! He told me it wasn’t for him to say, that I had to discover it myself. I thought it was a gimmick to get me to pay for a reading. But his sign-up page was full and he wasn’t taking on any more requests. What he told me, he freely offered. After wishing me luck, he moved on to someone else in the crowd and left me standing there forgotten.

After walking around a bit more, I finally found a woman who channeled a spirit guide who answered whatever questions I could ply “him” with in the 15 minutes I paid for. Never having had such an experience, I wasn’t sure what to expect but after a minute of silence, the medium before me suddenly lifted her head with a different air about her. Her soft voice had firmed and her gentle gaze was now piercing and direct. I found it oddly uncomfortable to meet her eyes. I asked her what my gift was. She answered that I was surrounded by many spirits and that they all were waiting for me to communicate with them (I admit to wondering if the psychics at this fair used this tactic on everyone but nothing like that was said to my friends who attended with me). Why? I asked. She said that was for me to learn. Frustrating! What’s with all the cryptic stuff? So anyway, she told me a few other things and I went on my merry way... continues at Ghostly Dramas
