New Tools 6/15

Today was quite the day.

The highlight of our day today was our trip to Enchanted Moments to meet the infamous Francine Haydon. Francine’s qualifications are as follows:

Tarot Reader, Palmist, Ordained Minister, Medicine Wheel Practitioner/ Teacher, CERTIFIED GHOSTHUNTER, hypnotherapist, and free soul instructor.

If there was someone that could give us any insight on what to do next, it was Francine.

We arrived at Enchanted Moments promptly at 1pm, when we were told Francine would arrive. She was running a bit late, so we took a little walk to Row House, known to be one of old Milford’s haunted places. We perused that paintings a bit, saw many winged wolves, however…we felt no spirits. Obviously we were not as gifted in our craft as we hoped.

We then headed to Gayles, a vintage clothing shop, also down in Old Milford. We saw many wonderful garbs. Our logic is this…If we are attempting to get in touch with old spirits, wearing clothes from that era would help us to do that. We found two long black cloaks that we believe are a necessity to our ghost hunting outfits, as well as silk gloves and hats which appear to be from around the 18^th century. We would have bought these outfits immediately, however at the moment our funds are limited.

At around 1:30 we headed back to Enchanted Moments. To our pure joy, Francine had arrived. We introduced ourselves to her and told her about our experiences and upcoming plans. We asked her to insight us with her wisdom, and tell us how to improve our techniques and where we should go next.  She was of unimaginable help and introduced us to two amazing instruments used in spirit communication.

Now, I, Holly, like many of you…have questioned the legitimacy of spirit communication in the past. Gwen has been much firmer a believer than myself until today.

The first tool, were golden dowel rods. These L shaped rods are used for spirit communication. You hold the short end in your hands, with the long end facing straight forward. Both long ends must be parallel in front of you. After you find your center of balance, and the dowel rods are still, you ask the spirits, “Show me a yes”. THE RODS STARTED TO CROSS. Instead of being like II <<this….then were like X<<< this!!!! Then, when asking the spirits, “Show me a no.” The dowel rods returned to their parallel position. Francine demonstrated this first. Me, being the skeptic I am, assumed she must have been doing something to make the rods move. After trying myself, I got the same result. I was as still as possible, and the rods still crossed when I asked the spirits to show me a yes, and they uncrossed when I asked to show me a no.

The second tools were pendulums. Francine demonstrated by asking the same yes or no question to the spirits while holding the pendulum still. When asking them to show yes, the pendulum swung side to side. When asking to show no, the pendulum started swinging back and forth.  I tried this myself. The pendulum acts differently based on the person holding it. In my case, yes meant a very heavy vibration of the pendulum. No meant that the pendulum went completely still.

Needless to say, we bought one of each of these tools and with Francine’s advice, headed to the nearby graveyard at Camp Dennison.  At first we kind of stumbled around, not really sure what to do, randomly asking different graves questions.  But eventually, we got the technique down.  It was there that we proceeded to talk to three spirits. I will transcript two of the conversations to you as follows.

1.       Orville McClain-Army Sargent (Answers gathered using dowel rod technique)

Are you a Man? –YES (TRUE)

Were you born in the 1800’s?—NO (TRUE)
Did you fight in a war?- YES

Did you have children?—YES

Are any members of your family alive today?—NO

Do you have unfinished business here on earth?—YES

Can we help you with it?—NO

Are you a Christian?—YES (We noticed a cross on his grave)

2.       William Ferguson (Answers obtained through Pendulum Technique)

Are you a Man?—NO
***We were standing behind William's grave, but in front of a few others***

This must be Hester or Elizabeth Ferguson (two graves nearby)?—At the mention of Hester, the pendulum showed NO, at the mention of Elizabeth, it showed a very strong YES.

Are you Elizabeth Ferguson?—YES

Are you at peace?—Yes

Is Charles (the grave beside her's) your husband?—Yes

Do you love each other?—YES
Did you live through wars?-YES
Did the wars effect your life?-YES
Did you have sons who fought in the war?-YES
Did you have any daughters?-NO

Is Hester your mother?—NO

Is she related to you?—YES

Do you like her?- YES

Are you glad you are buried near her?—YES

Gwen and I had to be at work in a couple of hours. We thanked the spirits for their time and answers.  We feel like the key to speaking to spirits was to be very respectful. We left Camp Dennison Cemetery. This was our first communication with the ghosts. We have made great progress. We plan to use our new tools again soon and post pictures of them as well. If any of you know or have heard of Mr. Orville McClain, buried in the cemetery at Camp Dennison, death year of 1981, please help him…or beware. We have word from a reliable source that he has some unfinished business to attend to before he crosses over to the other side.

That’s all for now.

Until next time, God Speed.
