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...

52nd Sitting 28/06/2013

I couldn’t make Monday this week so we sat on Friday.

During the week I’d been getting a few things which I think could be connected to the Mercury Light Circle.

On Tuesday during a meditation I had an image of a blue planet on a square background. Similar to the image on the Mercury Circle home page but it was blue.
Then on Friday morning when I woke I had a memory of a dream and the words ‘Blue Star’ in my head.
I asked Liz about this but it didn’t ring any bells with her.

We set the room up as normal again this week and Liz opened in prayer at 8.30pm, turned on the music and put out the red light.

After six minutes Liz was seeing what she described as blue interlocking bubbles all over the room.
Then the room went uniformly dark apart from the trumpet luminosity which she could see clearly.
She then saw a kind of white smoke going up to the ceiling from the trumpet.
This filled the room producing swirling patterns and became more coloured looking like marble or the effect of oil in a puddle.

About 15 minutes later Liz was seeing movement, distortions and interference patterns in the room.
She felt a tickle on her nose.

Ten minutes after this there were voice noises from the cabinet.
Different voices were producing mainly incoherent sounds. It felt to me like at least three entities were with me including Oswald who has spoken before…

‘We are all here’

Liz… ‘You’ll have to try one at a time!!!’

‘It all come together and we all enjoy come through in this way so good for us to experiment in this way. It take a time for us to develop ourselves strong enough to engage conversation with you’

Liz… ‘Ah, that’s really good, so glad you’re able to come through again’

The communicator withdrew and Liz turned up the music.


The penultimate tune played and Liz reminded the team time was drawing close for them to step back.

I felt fully back with it by the time the last tune had finished.
Liz checked I was okay before giving the closing prayer.


I had remained aware throughout the sitting this week. When I first entered the cabinet I didn’t feel any spirit activity but it quickly built up as Liz was saying the opening prayer. My arms and head were being moved and my face manipulated for most of the sitting.
The energy felt consistent throughout but stronger when the communication came through.
Just before the communication started I felt a fuzzy feeling on my right leg which slowly engulfed me making me feel more detached from my body but my mind was still aware.
I felt very hot after the communication.

During the latter half of the sit I was receiving thoughts/ideas which I thought might later become part of a communication through me which has happened before but that didn’t happen this week.

What I remember receiving was something like…

‘It’s good to realise we don’t know everything. We are given pieces of a jig-saw puzzle as we evolve our spirituality but we cannot see the whole picture and are only given part of the puzzle. There are many different puzzles each representing a different picture of reality’

It had seemed quite light in the cabinet especially at the start and I had noticed a few flashes to my right towards the end.
I was also aware of a person standing in front of me at the end with robes and hood that I associated with healing. I tried to get a look at the face but just saw a white beard and bushy moustache.


********************************************************************************

The Mercury Star Circle has now disbanded and a new circle has been formed which sits in Haywards Heath. They are working with new energies which Syann believes are detrimental to the development of the Mercury Light Circle so both Liz and I have stopped sitting with her.

Syann has asked that all her reports, archives and updates are to be kept private for now so they have been removed from this website.

It's been a great two years helping Syann with her mediumship development and we wish her all the best with her future developments...

51st Sitting 17/06/2013

Liz was back from her holiday this week.

Just before the séance we both felt a bit light headed and I felt a kind of nudging on the side of my right leg which I took as a signal to go down to the garage. It was nearly time to sit anyway so we made our way down.

We sat as usual in full blackout, with me in the closed cabinet and Liz in front to my right.

Liz opened in prayer, put on the music and extinguished the red light.

Five minutes after the start Liz reported seeing bluish misty shapes like patterns in fast flowing water. Then it was if the water flow had slowed down.

Interestingly I felt waves running through me at the start in the cabinet. It gave me the impression I was floating in water bobbing up and down with the waves.

(We had been discussing waves in water and interference patterns before we sat so this could have influenced our thinking)

Another five minutes on and Liz was reporting swirling shapes in the room, like patterns in smoke.
She had a strong pulling from her abdomen just below her navel.

Then she saw spangly flashes in the room.
She saw a flash near the trumpet and it made her feel giddy.

Liz sensed a strong presence in front of the cabinet.

She saw a black shape like a wing or hand over her right field of vision.
Then it engulfed the right side of her.

Liz had the sense of someone she had known years ago with her. Their face came very close. She didn’t recognize them at first then suddenly realized who it was.
She tried to direct them to me and to communicate through me if possible.

She got what she recognised as an ectoplasm smell and the room became very dark all over.
Then she felt a prickly heat especially on her back and shoulders.
She sensed someone behind her.
It felt like she was receiving a healing massage which was very welcome!!!


The energy felt very calm but not strong during the sitting to me.
I sensed people with me and at times it felt like they were about to communicate but there didn't seem to be enough energy for that to happen.

I saw a lot of pinkish energy during the first part of the evening. It was as if a bright red light was shining through my eye lids.

I was drifting in and out of consciousness throughout.
At one point I felt myself drift out of the cabinet through the left side and float round to the front where I saw a row of china mugs laying down on the floor in front of the cabinet. The tops of the mugs were facing the cabinet. I didn’t feel surprised at seeing them and just reached down to turn them all upright. I have no idea what that was about???

I saw two faces, both in black and white. One was very close and filled my whole vision. It looked like a young man possibly Native American. The second was an old man who seemed further away.

My head turned to the right and I saw a Chinese looking lady standing next to me.


As always when the penultimate tune played Liz reminded the team it was time to start drawing back. 
She checked I was okay at the end before doing the closing prayer and putting the red light on.


50th Sitting 10/06/2013

Liz is still on holiday but this week Syann came over to sit with me.
I set the room up as normal and Syann sat in Liz’s seat to the right of the cabinet.

We sat one hour earlier than usual. 
Syann did the opening prayer at 7.30pm, put the music on and turned out the red light.

I was feeling light-headed as usual at the start but this week it seemed to take a while (maybe five minutes) before I felt spirit energies with me.
When they did come in they were strong moving my arms and head and manipulating my face.

Syann reported trickles running down her forehead.
She said the room looked dark but it was lighter near the floor.

She saw a build-up of energy in front of her with lots of pin-pricks within it.
Then she felt an energy change and the room looked more mottled.

It went cold and Syann felt a pulling from her stomach.
At the same time a communicator started to take control of me.
Syann encouraged the communicator forward.

‘Always here… people are here… walk around your room… it all come together…  patience…’

The energy made me shake. My knees were touching the curtains which can be heard moving on the recording.


Syann noticed a drop in energy in the room after the communicator withdrew then it slowly built up again.

She said it looked speckly towards the ceiling.
Then she saw pin-pricks all over the room.
She saw a dense foggy patch to her left by the cabinet.
Then a reddish column came up from the trumpet.

Syann went cold like someone had walked past her.
The room went very dark.
The trumpet luminosity became obscured by something.

Syann saw a blue pin-prick then several more around the room.

Her right foot went hot like a hot water bottle had been placed on it.
Then she felt a tingly energy wrap around her foot.
She was laughing as it tickled.

She saw a soft mist in front of her.
It was a pastel white colour and she sensed a texture to it.

Another communicator took control of me and introduced himself as Oswald.
(I had an Oswald speak through me on 25/03/2013)
His first few words were a bit incoherent but he went on to say to Syann…

‘Good of you to sit tonight, give us a new perspective to acclimatize too… Interesting the song, radio… (‘Radio Ga-Ga’ had just been playing) …we are in like a radio, the room is like a radio, we each have our own channel to work from. You are able to adjust your own channel towards our frequency and we are in turn able to come down through the frequencies to meet in the middle. It is an interesting experiment. We all share in this way. We each have our own frequencies which we are able to adjust and become one in harmony together, able to communicate in this way. It enables us to learn too for we can experience your vibration once again. We are so grateful for opportunity to do this in this way’

Syann thanked Oswald for speaking then another communicator came through to talk to her…

‘…thank you for the work you do for spirit… You can reach out to us. We can come forward in this way… You all contribute to the circles that you sit. You can come through in this way. We can come through in this way. It all helps with your side, your world. Your world needs us. Your world needs these gatherings, these circles, for they will penetrate into your atmosphere. Slowly each time we come through we penetrate our love into your atmosphere which will be of benefit for all, all mankind…’

Syann… ‘Well, thank you for that message, that was lovely’

Syann saw little faces pop up in front of her eyes as the last communicator spoke. One was Native American.


I felt very hot as the last communicator controlled me. It was a very strong energy and had me leaning forward and shaking once again.
After he withdrew I slumped back in my seat and it felt like all the energy had gone from inside the cabinet. It felt totally flat but slowly built up again over the next few minutes.

Syann also again noticed a drop in energy in the room after the communicator withdrew and then felt it slowly build up as the room became speckly.
She then saw a misty patch to her right and dim torch lights flash on and off opposite her.

She sensed movement to her left towards the top of the cabinet and light clouds illuminating the area.
Then she jumped as she noticed something dense suddenly in front of her!!!

She saw lots of blotchy energy around her and felt cold.

Syann had the warm feeling on her right foot again.
She later described it as a creeping warmness coming from her right wrapping round the back of her right ankle then moving up over the top of her foot and round the back again.
It happened a third time before the sitting ended.

The penultimate tune played and Syann reminded the team it was time to draw back.
She checked I was back and okay before giving the closing prayer and turning on the red light.

I had remained more or less aware throughout the sitting this week.

I opened the curtains and as we talked about our experiences Syann could see someone stood to my left.
She then saw energy and another face appear over mine. An old chap with bushy white hair and glasses.
As she said this I felt a tingly sensation over my face.

As we’d closed we decided it was time to leave the energies of the Garage and head upstairs for tea and cake…


…and a few words from Syann

Last night I sat with Nick as Liz was away. There was a noticeable build-up of Spirit energy as we sat upstairs before making our way down to the Garage, and this continued to build during the first few songs that played.

The energy in the room was visible in the black out conditions throughout the sitting as 'white speckles' or 'mist'; sometimes it looked fibrous, and other times it look like clouds floating around. The energy was particularly noticeable when absent, which I noticed after the communicators had finished speaking, which was the only time the room truly looked 'black'.

I saw plenty of pin prick lights and also saw a what looked like very dim torch lights being flashed on and off several times around the room.

The most 'physical' sensation I experienced in the sitting was a strange sensation of a warm soft energy that seemed to wrap itself around my right foot. This happened three times. The first time was very noticeable in both sensation and heat and 'tickled' my foot. It was hard not to pull my foot away, like you would from someone deliberately tickling you!

Another obvious 'phenomena' occurred as I was looking at an energy build up in the direction of the top front part of the cabinet - as I turned my head back to facing forward, I suddenly noticed a tall elongated 'patch' of 'dark', which appeared denser than the surrounding blackness, which made me jump (and then consequently laugh at myself for jumping!).

All in all it was a very 'active' sitting with lots going on!

update 04/06/2013

Liz is on holiday for a couple of weeks so no sit this week... :-(
