A Close Encounter....

Some years ago, when I belonged to a local Spiritual Church, a member of the church became very ill. Arthur was an old man, but up till then was still very energetic and kept busy.
I visited him in hospital and was upset to find him in a coma and near death. We were alone, and I sat with him and held his hand. I began to cry, being a Spiritual Healer,I mentally sent Healing to him. I felt that he was hanging on instead of going and it was at that time I noticed the presence of Spirit in the room. I looked up, there, by the window were several Spirits, family members, who had come for old Arthur and I could feel the love and warmth that emanated from them.

I told Arthur that his family had come for him,and not to worry about the Spiritual Church, (he always worried about us!) we would be okay and I told him to go and be with his family. I 'saw' at the front of the Spirit group was his wife, I felt the love and warmth just radiate from her. She gave me a friendly smile, I had never met her but I recognised her from some pictures I had seen at Arthurs. I stayed awhile and then left, feeling sad about Arthur hanging on when there was so much peace and happiness and good health waiting for him on the other side!

The next morning, about 9am. I was sitting with a friend in my kitchen ,and all of a sudden, the volume on my radio kept getting louder and louder. It was an old radio with knobs on the front. It had never done this before! I turned the radio down, almost immediately, the volume went up again.So again I turned it down. In the end I got so annoyed with it I turned it off!
About 10 am that same morning, I happened to look out my kitchen window, I live next to a park, and saw a friend of mine Min walking through the park towards my back fence. Min is also a member of the Spiritual Church and a good friend of Arthurs. This was a surprise as usually she doesn’t come to my house that way, usually it is in a car, or I visit her. Min works just next to the park so I go see her there also. I quickly made for the door and the gate, in the back fence. I went through and met her in the park.
She had come to tell me that Arthur had died. He had died at 9am that morning, the same time as when the radio volume kept going up! When I told Min we both knew it was Arthur. I said out loud ‘Good Arthur, now you can help from the other side with our Spiritual group!’ Next thing, a small swallow type of bird zoomed down low over Min and I then it passed low, in between us! Another sign from Arthur? I knew he was there in Spirit and okay!

I walked back home, and went inside. For the rest of the day the smoke alarms in my house kept going off, and I have eight of them! Exasperated, I yelled loudly, ‘Okay Arthur, you can quit with the smoke alarms now, I know you have passed to Spirit and you are fine!’ Immediately, all noise ceased, Arthur had heard me. I had received his message ,his Spirit was alive and well!!
Arthur had done what he as a Spiritualist firmly believed in, contact from the 'other side! :) W.T.
