Manager and Medium

I first noticed paranormal actively when I was a child maybe at the age of 6 at a guess I use to see people and just thought everyone else could. I remember Playing with the other kids outside our house.

 It wasn't until one day I saw people walking through the house that I thought what is going on, they looked like what I now know as roman soldiers with horses. I used to ask questions but got the normal response !

other people didn't see them, until I asked an old man who was a neighbour and he said that he saw them too, his wife had passed away and I use to see her talking to him, when we played draughts, the board game.

From then on I would hear spirits but didn't know what was going on. I do remember clearly one day a neighbour was chatting away, and right behind her was lady with a dog on a lead, these were spirit people, and suddenly a dog ran out of the house, I saw this dog, in spirit I believe. I got bitten on the hand, when I tried to explain, well you can imagine the response.

There were lots of other  experiences. Some 15 years or so ago I moved in with my girlfriend and remember poltergeist actively in the house, as well as someone walking across the room upstairs.

I more recently moved into a farm which has lots of actively, and things have livened up, poltergeists, ghosts you name it I think I have it here. I called in paranormal investigators and it was from here that my development began, and I am now able to see, hear, feel, smell and sense spirit. I am learning more and more all the time and class myself as sensitive to spirit.

 My best experience is when I see occasionally the light anomalies go to a medium and look like they try to enter their aura or when spirit in full form does this, and I can see them keep trying at times, I couldn't believe it. It was then it all began to make sense to me.

One person said to me " what is important is that you enjoy the experience and find your place in the universe", this sums it all up for me. I thank you all for helping me enjoy this wonderful journey and for your help which has helped me to see the bigger picture in life.

I hope to one day help people in their bereavement, although I am a long way away, and too prove the existence of ghosts/spirits hopefully on video camera.

There are many things I want to do as a group and that is mainly experimenting with how we try to get evidence there are many ways to do this, many people out there use white noise methods, mirrors, etc and I want this group to progress with theses methods.

We are also now aware of the elemental kingdom in which we are becoming more aware of  and the animal kingdom is in need of more healing which is being presented to me more and more, we use methods to find energy ley lines through dowsing pendulums which is helping us assess why some places seem active at times.

There is a need for spirit rescue which is what I feel is needed more and more, and of course helping the people who are getting paranormal actively in there homes, where we try to help them. I feel this is a form of healing as some just need reassuring what they are getting isn't just happening to them.

Some people believe paranormal evidence just because what they see looks like a ghost or apparition, and some people won't believe anything in front of them, as they have a mind set that is skeptical which is in a way good but I believe that this group wishes to try to gather evidence that can be used to make up part of the puzzle that life holds for us all, so many things I want to pursue like past lives, how do some children do amazing things like compose music at such an early age, did they get this from a past life?

So many questions....

As a child I was a fascinated in reading books on ghost and I have experience lots of unexplained scenarios. Working with Haunted Essex has given me the chance to get an understanding on life after  death.

I remember reading articles about Borley Rectory when I was young, as well as watching "Ghostwatch" in the early nineties and finding it scary but at the same time intriguing. It’s only recently though that  a number of TV programs have reignited my interest in the subject and prompted me to look further  into it, and with my realization that buildings and the history behind them is something I like to  know more about and understand, I jumped at the opportunity to join Haunted Essex. I’m open-minded as to the possible explanations for the different phenomena and hope to learn something from  every investigation!

It seems everyone around me has seen, felt or heard ghosts. Apparently I used to see ghosts regularly as a child but nothing that I can remember.

I've had the occasional moment when I thought I heard or felt ghosts but in all honesty I can't discount the fact that I was half asleep at the time.

So why am I a member of Haunted Essex? Well, because I want proof of the paranormal. Not specifically a Most Haunted 'something just threw a piece of gravel at me' moment but real definitive proof that there is something else after death.

I like to think of myself as an open-minded sceptic, I have experienced phenomena during my time at Haunted Essex that I cannot logically explain but on the whole I need to see it to believe it.

So I keep on searching....
