All kidding aside, I must relate an experience.....this took place in 2000, shortly after my hubby's step father passed. Medium John Edward was coming to San Diego and I thought my Mom in law might enjoy being at his lecture. One very remarkable event had taken place after Dad's death so she was receptive to the invitation. Hubby faithfully drove us to San Diego and even joined us. John was doing his thing and of course all were impressed. We three were sitting way off to the side of the room with very few people. Suddenly John headed in our direction stating he was "hearing" from someone who had died in a particular manner...an airplane crash. He kept walking towards us. Mom wasn't paying as much attention to what he was saying, the evening was drawing to a close and she was getting tired, but I immediately realized who was being talked about....her second husband. First husband also died in a plane crash, but it was her second husband that was coming through. I made sure she wasn't giving any visible "signs" of surprise that one could pick up on, nor hubby or myself. He went on and suddenly she heard what was being said. It was kind of amazing really. Lest you think I'm not skeptical, do know I am....recognizing that more often than not, general questions aren't very specific and those being "read" will often supply information unwittingly. In this case, she didn't. He was specific as to who was on the plane, what type of flight, how things happened, etc. Needless to say, I was smiling and chuckling afterwards. Took Mom about 2 days to get that dropped jaw back in place....
It's not exactly a seance, but it was an experience with the dearly departed.
