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...

71st Sitting 04/11/2013

All three of us turned up this week and we set the room up as normal.

Up until now I’ve placed the digital voice recorder just outside the cabinet but this week I put it inside using a pocket about four feet up the side of the cabinet.
This places it about 18 inches to the left of my head.
Last week there was some soft communication which was hard to hear on the recording. Having the recorder inside the cabinet has made the recordings much clearer so unless our team advise us to remove it we’ll leave it in there for now. 
We always used to have the microphone from the cassette recorder inside the cabinet when I sat with Joan in the Mercury Circle and this was never a problem then.

Liz opened at 8.30pm, turned out the red light and put on the music.

After three minutes Liz reported concave waves of light moving upwards between her and Dan.
Then she saw a turquoise/blue colour above a yellow/green.
This was followed by flashes of other colours particularly magenta.

Liz saw some dim moving lights like orbs circulating around the room.

Ten minutes after the start a few noises came from the cabinet, then some speech…

‘Circle… Circle of life… life… It is so cold, always we feel the cold; it always comes forward when we come close, we touch a physical sensation and it reminds us of our time…’

Liz… ‘That’s interesting to know’

‘It is always an interesting experience for us to come close in this way. It always… it always comes back to us, a memory, a memory’

Liz… ‘Have you had much practice of communication like this and coming through?’

‘Yes, we are all… It is a new experience…’

Liz… ‘Is it new for all of you?’

‘On first go, first come… Always is a great pleasure for us all to come this way, we very grateful for opportunity to come through in this way. We can all help each other in the way that we come through. It is always a joint effort at this time so we talk of all of us… First words are so difficult for us; we need to get into a rhythm with you on your side. It takes a time for us to adjust to just the right frequency. It is a learning for us all. We all develop. As you develop on your side we develop with our way of coming through’

Liz… ‘So we’re all developing together’

‘Yes, yes it is a development circle…’

Les… ‘Let us know if there’s anything that we can do to make it easier’

‘Just keep going as you do. We are able to use your energy, the energy that you both create and bring with you to the room’


Liz turned the music back up as the communicator withdrew.   

Two minutes later Liz reported dim shapes moving round the room and random sparks.

She saw a bulging light shape in front of the cabinet. It looked like a cloud.

Dan hadn’t reported anything up to this point but was now seeing swirls of light by the cabinet and random pin pricks around the room.
Liz saw patterns and forms in the room.
Dan and Liz both saw a reddish light in the room.
Liz thought it was changing colour to purple then reported a bright ball in front of her.

Dan and Liz both reported the room getting suddenly darker.
The atmosphere felt different.
Liz saw what she described as dark structures.
Dan saw beams which looked to him like wooden beams inside an old barn.
Liz agreed that this was what it looked like.

A few quiet whistling, whispering noises started in the cabinet.
This was picked up on the recorder but wasn’t noticed at the time by Liz and Dan who were merrily singing away to the tunes.

The noises in the cabinet gradually got louder and louder until Liz and Dan heard them and turned down the music.

‘Easy, easy, easy…’ (Repeated several times in different voices)

‘I can feel…’

Liz… ‘How can you feel…? Is it getting easier…?’

‘Quite good, is quite good… Hold it, hold it…’

Nothing particularly was said; it sounded more like voice development.
Liz got a tickle in her throat making her cough as the communicators withdrew…


For the next 20 minutes there was some quiet lip-smacking and whispering/mumbling in the cabinet.
I remember feeling at that time the energy had dropped. It felt like either the team were working on other things or they had insufficient energy to communicate satisfactory. Interestingly both Liz and Dan had been feeling a bit depleted and tired this week before sitting.

An attempt at communication came through towards the end of the sitting and Liz and Dan encouraged it forward. A few understandable words came through but it sounded quite weak…

‘Sending love…Eagle, eagle… all wise friends…’

The last tunes were playing and Liz reminded the team it was time to draw back.

‘Energy go… goodbye, thank you for sitting again… Yes, goodbye…’

It felt to me like they withdrew but then returned with a last blast of energy and a few noises before slowly withdrawing again…


I was feeling a bit shaky in the cabinet at the end. It was warm and looked very sparkly.
Dan and Liz were cold.

Liz waited till we were all feeling back with it before putting the red light on dimly.
She did the closing prayer, sent out healing and the closing down exercise for us all.
