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...

72nd Sitting 11/11/2013


Liz was unable to sit this week so it was just Dan and me.

We didn’t put the trumpet out so the room was totally blacked out with no luminosity.
I again put the voice recorder in the cabinet.

Dan opened in prayer at 8.30pm.

Ten minutes later there were a few quiet noises from the cabinet.
They got louder and Dan turned down the music.

Dan welcomed the communicator into the circle.

‘Circle, circle… light… star, star… stabilize… it all gel… it all possible… very good atmosphere… able to come close… good...’

Communicator faded out and Dan turned up the music.


Five minutes later another communicator came forward starting with some quiet whispering/whistling sounds before talking...

‘Picture, picture… Imagination, imagination… What is imagination? Put yourself above this place, look at the picture in the room above this place, the picture depicting trees…’

Dan… ‘Yes, I know the one’

‘Take yourself into the picture. Picture yourself amongst the trees, allow yourself to feel, to feel the ground. To hear, to hear what you would expect to hear in the place as you walk, as you walk through the leaves. Make your way through the trees. Can you see? Can you see what is beyond the trees? Keep walking, keep walking until you reach a clearing… What do you see now? How do you feel?

Dan… ‘Relaxed…’

‘You feel relaxed. Do you have a vision, can you see, can you see?’

Dan… ‘I can see a gentleman… I do not recognize this gentleman’

‘A gentleman… describe the gentleman’

Dan… ‘He’s tall; he has dark hair and sideburns, long sideburns. He’s dressed in 19th century cloths. Shirt, tie and suit. He has friendly but disciplined features, dark eyes’

‘How does he make you feel?’

Dan… ‘Curious’

‘What lies beyond the man?’

Dan… ‘Beyond the clearing I see a forest… a bluebell wood’

‘Do you wish to speak with the man?’

Dan… ‘Yes’

‘What would you ask him?’

Dan… ‘I would say, tell me, tell me what I need to hear’

‘Does he reply?’

Dan… ‘No, he just smiles’

‘He says, he says he knows you. He knows you well. He has been with you for all of your life. He has looked after you and he wishes to make himself known to you. He will eventually blend with your energy and make himself more familiar to you. You already feel a recognition for the man but he will bring forward more information to you as you journey… as you journey on...’

Dan… ‘Thank you friend’

‘Take his love… allow it to penetrate you and he will be back for you, thank you’

The communicator withdrew and Dan turned up the music…


Five minutes later he turned it down again as there was lip-smacking from the cabinet.
Dan welcomed the communicator.

Dan noticed something glowing on the floor in the centre of the room.
He got a strong earthy/disinfectant type smell which he recognised as ectoplasm.

There was a lot of slurping/coughing from the cabinet.
They seemed to be experimenting with the voice…

‘…is all possible’ (repeated)

‘…people forward’ (repeated)

Then some incoherent speech before fading out…


Dan turned up the music once again.

Dan reported a sudden temperature drop.
Then five minutes after the last communicator he turned the music down again as another communicator came through.
Dan welcomed and encouraged it forward…

‘Testing, testing… One two, one two…’

Dan… ‘I can hear you loud and clear’

‘While we are connected we have been able to produce certain amount of energy. A mix of energy which has been produced into the room. A direct result of the combined energies that we are able to use. This has been a good step forward for us. We hope to be able to produce a more of a visual effect in the centre of the room. We wish to build up visual experience for you’

Dan… ‘Good, I look forward to that’

‘Yellow, yellow, yellow…’ (Repeated then faded out)


Dan put the music up.

He reported a mist in the centre of the room.

Things then went quiet for the next 25 minutes until a last communicator came through as the penultimate tune came on…

Dan… ‘Any last words friends?’

‘So we come to the end of our sitting once again. Thank you for coming along and sharing your energies with us. We appreciate the effort you put into this circle each week. We have been able to use your energy, blend your energy, add to your energy and create a loving energy within the room. We now leave with you a part of our love to take with you on your week. Share amongst your friends and loved ones and acquaintances. Allow each person you meet to benefit from the light within you. Shine out to everybody and into every situation. Light the road that you walk. Light each situation you find yourself in for this will help you appreciate the good within all. Within all things, within all people there is a good to be seen, to be felt within every situation. Concentrate on this good, this feeling, this upliftment and you will approach the next situation with more positive feeling, thank you once again’

Dan… ‘Thank you friend, thank you for the advice’


The music was ending and Dan asked our spirit friends to pull away now.

I felt back ‘with it’ after about two minutes.
I’d remained conscious throughout but in a varying altered state.
I remembered getting a similar ectoplasm smell in the cabinet that Dan described during the sitting.
We think this is what Liz has described in the past as a visceral smell.

Dan put the red light on dimly before doing the closing prayer, sending out healing and doing the closing exercise for us both…
