Mediumship and Beyond

There is no short answer to this question, but I will tell you about the event and what we did become aware of.  You can make up your own mind too.

We first had the guided tour led by Peter, who works for the Sheffield Markets.  Peter is very knowledgeable about the market and its origins.  Along with Peter we had a local historian, Dave.  Between them they were a font of knowledge and could answer most of our questions.

There were health and safety issues which had to be obeyed, so we were limited in where we wandered.  For instance, there are tunnels underneath the markets (and also under a lot of the buildings in central Sheffield) but the public are forbidden entry via the manholes because of these health and safety issues.

We had an agreement with Peter not to divulge any information which would get in the way of our experiments.  Once you have all of the information in your mind it tends to block off the inspiration from spirit.  Peter agreed not to tell us about any market events unless we ‘picked them up’ first.  Then he would fill in the details for us.

We first went to the ruins of the early castle wall.  This was remarkable and made me feel a great sense of history.  Whilst John, the healer, picked up a lot of shivers, his hair standing on end and other things, I picked up nothing, but I was over awed by the sense of history.  John is clairsentient and does pick up feelings etc, whereas I am more clairvoyant and tend to tune into spirit.

We next went on a tour of the market itself.  Two of the mediums, Kevin and Andrew, used dowsing rods and the rods did start to quiver and cross whenever we were in an area where Peter later told us that there had been a death.  Again, John picked up the ‘feelings’, which were on these same spots.  Sue and Gill also felt the energy in these areas, as did Keith.

We all seemed to pick up things in the same areas and it was good that Peter could fill in the details for us later.  It reassured us that we were not imagining it all.  Plus, as they were items of recent history it is possible to check on some of them.

Sue, picked up information clairvoyantly and made notes. Kevin and Andrew were working clairvoyantly as well as using the dowsing rods.  We would all state aloud what we were feeling and picking up as we went along and ask if others were aware of the same thing.  If the energy was strong we would all stop and try to tune in.

There were three areas in particular where we all picked up feelings and information which was linked.  It was at these three places that we decided to use the table tappings to try to get more information.  Three sat at the table whilst the rest looked on.

Although the table did rock and tap and spell out letters, bringing information for us, it was of recent history rather than Elizabethan history.  We noted the information and Peter agreed to look into it for us.  This was information previously unknown to Peter.

There was one spot in particular where we all picked up things.  I recall telling Peter that I was clairvoyantly picking up on someone who was panicking and gasping for air.  He later told us that a lady had had a heart attck at that same spot.  She panicked because she could not get air.  Sadly, she later died.

Most of us used recorders and cameras as well as note books.  Power of suggestion can be overwhelming, so we kept some things to ourselves until later.  It was quite interesting that often some of the notes were the same.

Whilst the evening was interesting and exciting, it was also very tiring ,but that did not stop us from having one last visit to the castle walls in darkness.  Again, it was awesome but we saw no ghosts.  John picked up the energies again.

I have search my camera images looking for anomalies or maybe some orbs, but I found nothing.  Although John picked up orbs on his camera but not on his camcorder.  Both John and myself left recorders in one area in the hope of picking up ghostly noises but to no avail.

My personal verdict is no ghosts but lots of spirit energy.  The energies seemed to come from the spirits of those who had died during the market’s history.  I will keep you informed of any feedback we get and as usual look forward to your comments and questions.

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!  A big thankyou to the market management and to Peter and Dave. And a very big thankyou to Linda, a market cafe owner,  who kept us fed and watered throughout.
