The only thing that makes me wonder if people can contact spirits (or vice versa...) is something that happened a couple of years ago. (WARNING: Long post alert!.) My mum wanted to see a medium who was doing a large session in a nearby town and invited her two sisters along. This story is about the youngest of them, and so I won't name names, I'll just call her H.
So they got to the place were the edium was going to be and settled down. The medium doing the session would describe who was coming through, or how they died, that kind of thing until someone in the audience would recogise them. More than a little suspicious I know sweatdrop This carried on until the medium said they were getting the spirit of a young man, who died suddenly from a head injury. They said they were getting images of a baby bouncer, and some other things I can't remember right now. And then H put her hand up.
The story is quite sad actually. When H was around sixteen (this was in the 70's!) she was part of a youth group. One day they went on a trip to an ice rink in Richmond, and while they were there one of her friends slipped and badly hit his head on the ice. Over the next few day he complained of dizziness and nauseau which the doctors put down to concussion...and then he died in his sleep from a blood clot on the brain.
Now this is were it gets interesting. The reason he was contacting her was that he felt he had been forgotten by his family (they didn't have any pictures of him on show or anything) and she had recently told some of her friends this story. They'd been waiting in line at a theme park for one of those rides that are essentially giant baby bouncers.
Now I know my aunt. She isn't the kind of person to just sit quietly while someone tells her a load of rubbish xp She's always been very practical and down to earth and her friends are the same. This isn't the kind of thing she goes in for, and trust me, she was as suprised as anyone.
