Ghosts Among Us - James Van Praagh [16]
Annie asked, “Anyone else, Dad?”
“He’s telling me…Clyde.”
I couldn’t tell whether Annie was going to cry or laugh. “Oh, Clyde…Clyde was the dog he had when he was a boy.”
FUNNY GIRL
The following reading occurred during a demonstration in Florida. The room was filled with about seven hundred people. The ghost in this scenario did not remember any details of her passing, but once in the light, she felt very happy.
I started singing onstage because of this lady’s exuberant energy. “Sadie…Sadie, married lady. I want to go to the back of the room, on the left side. Does this make any sense to someone in that area?” I asked as I pointed to the rear of the auditorium.
“Yes!” a woman answered. Audrey stood up. Her mother came into focus right behind her. “That was my mother’s favorite song from Funny Girl. It must be my mother.”
The next thing that came into my mind astounded me. This ghost had a great sense of humor. She was patting her rear end and smiling. “She is giving me the sense of her ‘fanny.’”
The audience burst into laughter.
“Yes! That was her name,” screeched Audrey. “Fanny…as in Fanny Brice. That is why she loved that song. Oh, wow!”
Then suddenly two other women stood up next to Audrey. They were Fanny’s two other daughters, Audrey’s sisters, and they had traveled quite a way to come to the event that day. It was obvious to me that Fanny was totally indifferent to these daughters because she communicated, It’s the least they could have done.
I did not mention what Fanny said because some things are better left unsaid. Furthermore, I did not want to get into the middle of a family squabble.
Fanny then gave me an impression. “Your mother is talking about an operation for her leg.”
Suddenly the other daughter, Meryl, spoke up. “Yes, that’s right. She went into the hospital for an angioplasty.”
Fanny blurted out, “Yes, but that is not what killed me. My heart stopped.”
All three girls bent their heads.
Fanny began to send me visions and thoughts of her passing. Luckily, there was a chair onstage. I had to sit down because the message was so detailed.
“She is showing me that she woke up to see her mother, father, and sister standing next to her. She was in a bed. The room looked very much like a room that she had when she was younger.”
I immediately got an impression that there was a window that overlooked a lake. I asked Meryl, “Do you know of such a place?”
“Yes. I know. Our grandparents owned a summerhouse near Castle Rock Lake. They used to bring the whole family there.”
I continued describing the information that Fanny impressed on me.
“Your grandparents told your mother to rest a little, and she fell into a light slumber. The next thing she knew, she was standing in a field of sunflowers.”
“Sunflowers were her favorite,” said Audrey.
“She shows me that many people came to greet her. Some of them were people she knew from Wisconsin. Does that make sense?”
“That’s where she grew up,” exclaimed Meryl.
“Did she see a light or anything?”
“No, not that she remembers,” I replied. “She recalls the night before the angioplasty, and the family being in the hospital. The rest is a blur until she saw her parents.”
“What is she going to do over there?” Audrey asked.
Fanny quickly answered. Rest! I have looked after you three enough. Now it’s my turn!
The entire audience enjoyed the delightful communication, and all wished Fanny well on her journey.
From what I have been told by spirits, it seems very common that when they first pass and return to their spiritual home,
