identified her husband’s name, the sex and number
of her children, her brother’s name and the suburbs she had
lived in. She confirmed details of her life in general and of her final few days.
Ivy confirmed that she had waited for John and Valerie to
arrive at the nursing home before she died, and also told us
that she had been struggling to say something to her daughter
on Christmas day. When Lou asked what she had been trying
to tell her, Ivy told us that she wanted to make sure that Valerie knew how very much she loved her.
Lou also asked her if she had enjoyed the carolling on
Christmas day and her NO response couldn’t have been any clearer! By now we were convinced we were speaking to Ivy
and asked if she would like to try tipping the table.

She responded with a strong and undeniable “YES!”
It wasn’t long before the table began to vibrate, upon
which Lou and I opened our eyes and began to spur Ivy on.
“Come on Lover girl,” encouraged Lou. “Show us what
you’ve got!”
The table lifted up from my side and tipped towards Lou’s
lap. Once it was lilting at a decent angle, it sat there suspended, as if propped up by invisible hands.
“Very good!” laughed Lou. “But are you just going to leave
it there? Can you do anything else?”
I asked Ivy if she could lift the table up onto one leg. But the table stayed teetering on its precarious angle, seemingly settled and unwilling to budge. I decided to get out the pendulum.
“Ivy, is that you holding the table up for us?”
“YES.”
“Thanks, that’s great!” I said. “Are you able to tip it right
over?”
“NO.”
“Are there any other spirits here with you?”
“YES.”
“Will you let them help you?”
“NO!”
Lou and I laughed, as this was typical of Ivy, very much the
show pony and unwilling for anyone else to come in and steal her thunder.
“Awww come on Nan!” said Lou. “You’ve done so well, but
maybe now you just need that little bit of extra energy. Why
don’t you just let somebody help you?”
Just then I noticed a flash on the lounge, in the seat where
my spirit friend, Matt likes to sit.

I asked Ivy if Matt was there, and if she would allow him
to help her move the table. After a minute or so hesitation, the answer came back as a small, reluctant “YES.”
I decided to act quickly before Ivy had the chance to
change her mind.
“Right,” I said. “Come on you two, let’s see what you can
do!”
Almost immediately, the pedestal table began to forcefully
shake. It was as though someone had grabbed its by its middle
and was waggling it back and forth. Within a minute, the table was knocked over and laying on its side.
Lou and I cheered, thanking Lover girl and Matt for their impressive display. We said a prayer of thanks, closed down
the session and went to sit on the lounge. Our spirit friends
were quick to follow, with Matt assuming his customary posi-
tion on the two-seater sofa.
I suggested to Lou that we should offer Matt and Ivy one
further opportunity to show themselves, by inviting them to
appear in a photo. Lou agreed and went to stand in the cor-
ner of the family room, a position I have found to be consis-
tently charged with spirit energy. Lou invited her grandmother to come in close, telling her she would be delighted if she would show herself in the photo.
We weren’t disappointed, as there above Lou’s right shoul-
der, a large and brilliant orb dominated the photograph.
Despite only passing away the week before, Ivy had no prob-
lem manifesting her spirit energy. She had surpassed my
expectations and I was more than impressed!
Now it was Matt’s turn. I sat on the lounge beside him, put-
ting my arm around where I sensed his shoulders would be.

“Come on Matt,” I said. “How about you and I have a
photo together?”
With one quick snap he was there, shining a radiant, beau-
tiful light right from
