Messages At Christmas By Graham Lee

There is a dilemma for every medium and it is this: when is it appropriate to pass on messages from spirit, and when is it best left alone? Many times I have been in a crowded room or on a train and I have been given hints of spirit information for the strangers around me. Not once have I ever offered any of them a message because I have always felt it to be very inappropriate. Sometimes when I am speaking to someone I can get information relating to their friends or work colleagues which I often relate to the person I'm talking to.

Several such incidents have cropped up over the Christmas period. The first of which happened at my Brother-In-Law's house. Whilst sat in the living room watching the kids opening their presents I became aware of the spirit of a young woman with curly dark hair standing on the stairs.

I sensed that her name was Mandy and she seemed to be wearing a denim baseball cap and was carrying a box down the stairs.

Mandy seemed to be connected to my Sister-In-Law rather than the Brother-In-Law, and because I don't really know her very well I felt it best not to mention it. It was only later on the way home in the car that I told my wife about it. She told me that Mandy was indeed connected to my Sister-In-Law, they were close friends. Mandy had been a decorator and had decorated the hallway and stairs of my Sister-In-Law's house, which is why I was seeing her on the stairs. I felt that the box was a gift of some kind and this was her way of telling me she wanted to offer a Christmas greeting to her friend.

I took it upon myself to tell my Sister-In-Law all about it the day after and she seemed pleased to get the message.

The second message of this nature was given for a person I have never even met. My father works in a nursing home in West Yorkshire and had the misfortune to be working on Christmas day! I had called him in the morning to wish him a merry Christmas and he told me that he would be doing a night shift at the home. As he said this I heard someone mention the name Elsie. I asked my Father if there was an Elsie at the home and he said yes.

I said Tell Elsie that Bill is wishing her a merry Christmas. It took a while to place the name Bill, my Father said that Elsie's husband had been named Wilf and asked me if it could be him. I got a loud statement of agreement from Wilf, I had simply miss-heard the name and it is not uncommon for this to happen.

Sometimes I may feel like I have the name Barry in mind but it could easily be Gary, Harry, Carrie or even Sally at a stretch. Many mediums find that the odd letter of a name is very strong and the rest of it is often missing or difficult to hear. The oddest part of this story is that I happened to mention this to my Grandfather the same day and he said Well, I actually know an Elsie at the home and I used to visit her before your Father started to work there, she is the wife of one of my old work colleagues.

I asked him what the colleague's name was and he said Wilf. I was pretty gobsmacked, but it felt good to be able to offer such a gift to a complete stranger at Christmas!
