May 2012 saw the first sitting of a new mediumship development circle in Eastbourne, East Sussex.

We sit in Liz's fully blacked-out converted garage. I sit as the medium with Liz as sitter and we are sometimes joined by other guest sitters.

We treat each sitting as an experiment with no expectations from us and ask our Spirit Team to work with us in the most efficient way to produce evidential mediumship to help us understand ourselves and the bigger picture.

Each sitting is recorded, I transcribe the recording verbatim and include in the final report of the transcript any additional unrecorded experiences that Liz and myself remembered from the sitting.

I publish these reports to give people the opportunity to read or listen to the communications and hopefully increase their own understandings.

I welcome any comments or questions and my contact email is nickp7871@gmail.com

It's up to the reader to make up their own mind as to the source of the communications and phenomena reported and hopefully be inspired to set up a development circle to get their own experiences...

38th Sitting 25/02/2013


It was just Liz and me this week.

Last week we’d been asked to open the cabinet this week.
In the Mercury Star Circle the two people nearest the cabinet open the curtains by pulling a cord attached to each curtain then hooking them to the walls but with just Liz there that would be impossible.
We would have to either keep the curtains open throughout or wait for instructions for Liz to approach the cabinet and slide the curtains open from the top.
We decided on the later as I felt a closed cabinet at the start would help the energies to build up initially and this was also how I'd seen Jerry work recently at the Bristol Spirit Lodge.
So the plan was to sit for four tunes in black-out with the cabinet closed, then Liz would turn up the red light and wait for instructions to open the cabinet.
We also moved Liz’s chair a bit closer to the cabinet.

As I got myself comfortable in the cabinet I felt a lot of popping going on in my right ear.  
I had also felt quite spaced out for the last couple of hours.

Liz opened in prayer at 8.30.
She turned out the red light and put the music on.

After the first four songs Liz turned on the red light.
Three minutes later she reported sparkles in front of the cabinet.
Then she saw some dancing shapes and felt there were a lot of presences in the room.
She also saw a dim light moving around.

A few voice noises started from the cabinet…
There didn’t seem to be much power behind the voice this week.

‘All here now…’

Liz… ‘Welcome to you’

‘Are you able to approach cabinet?’

Liz… ‘Yes’

‘Can you open curtain… have you enough light to see?’

Liz… ‘I can just about manage’


Once she’d opened the curtains Liz returned to her seat. She moved her seat forward a bit.

After about eight minutes Liz reported seeing movement to the right of me and then a large blob of light above my head.

Another eight minutes later Liz was asked to turn out the red light.
The curtains remained open for the rest of the sitting.

20 minutes later Liz was asked to put the red light on again.

This time she saw more energy in front of my face.
She saw lots of changes in the face.
She reported seeing a long thin face with side burns, and then a Chinese gentleman.
She also saw a face she recognised.

There were some ‘Hellos’ from the cabinet.

Then Liz saw an older man with a large beard.

More ‘Hellos… etc’

‘It has been an interesting experiment this evening… We would like to continue working in this way next week. We hope to develop a lot more in this way so thank you for sitting in this way. Did you see any phenomena with the red light on?’

Liz… ‘Not a lot, not a lot at all but just now there was quite a feeling of different faces and one even recognizable so that was quite interesting but it’s still very difficult to tell whether it’s subjective. It’s not sufficiently well defined to be sure that it’s objective phenomena like with the very strong light flash we had the other week (in the MSC) so everything is rather vague. There’s definitely a sense of movement of people, of shapes, dancing forms and of dim light moving but nothing strong enough that couldn’t be classed as subjective tricks of the light. I tried to keep very still so that I wasn’t creating shadows or differences in the light by moving’

‘Thank you for your comments and we will try again next week in a similar manner and we will improve each week with a stronger energy which we can introduce. This week we have been more experimenting with the light as this is a new experiment for us at this stage. We are pleased with the way it has progressed this week for the first time’

Liz… ‘Are you trying to develop some physiognomy, faces that go with voices, recognisable features?’

‘This will be our ultimate goal to show you the face, for you to hear the voice at the same time but you must understand that this will take time for us to achieve. We will work in a slow way, one step at a time, each time we sit we will progress slowly, for now you will see a vague impression of what we hope to achieve as the ultimate goal that we hope to achieve…  we will achieve. We will bring more phenomena forward as the weeks progress’

Liz… ‘Good, that’s good news’

‘We thank you for your patience and we look forward to trying more experiments next week, thank you’

Liz… ‘You’re very welcome, thank you’


The music had finished and Liz asked the spirit team to draw back.

I came back shortly after the last communicator had withdrawn and Liz checked I was okay.

It had been an interesting evening. The energy had felt different this week and some of the communications felt a bit weak which may be because the energies were directed more to producing the red light phenomena.
I had remained aware throughout.

We will continue with the open cabinet experiments and see how things progress over the next few weeks.

Liz is not going to say who’s face she recognised as we hope she may receive some more evidence in the coming weeks…
