Most amazing spirits experience so far

Image Credit: I try to remember to talk about this at my speaking engagements, but I have never done so in an article. About four years ago I had to bring some items to what I call 'a large day care and school campus and housing area' for those who are mentally and or physically handicapped, to a extreme nature in many, many cases. I had another individual with me and when we got out of the vehicle, I took a deep breath, as being a feeler, I felt and knew this was not going to be comfortable for me. I scanned the whole campus that I could view with my eyes and then the building that the person and I where going to enter. And took in another deep breath and expelled a breath of anxiety. Entering the building the first thing I did was look at the corners on the floor, to see how the individuals inside, the majority who could not speak for their selves, were being taken care of. This is something I learned from my wife who is in the medical field, that a lot can be told about a hospital and staff by way the corners on the floor look.

So we had to get on an elevator and take it to the second floor, this seemed like a slow moving elevator as we were wearing winter coats and maybe it was just me, I don't know, as I did not ask the person with me, what he thought about our never ending ride upwards.

The doors opened just as slowly as it seemed the ride in the elevator was. It opened and all the people, almost thirty of them were facing away from the doors, majority were strapped in to their wheel chairs, their legs, their chests, some also had their forearms and a few their head.

I stood there and looked, there was an aisle I would walk down, between them all. I stalled for a moment, as no one was moving, they were all still looking ahead. I started walking toward them, no walking noise as I had gym shoes on.
All of a sudden, all at the same time - they all turned and looked at me. AND I WAS HIT with all the emotions that their souls cried out with, and they could not say, this was all at once and also the souls of the Spirits of those who had passed on from this place known to them as home and still lingered and came back there because they knew those who took care of them there, did so out of love.

As I walked up the aisle, the individuals (from children to older adults), who where handicapped as I described, all started to reach for me, wanting to rub my arms, my hands, my back, reaching out to me and touching me, my hands, arms etc...

Then the voices came that could not be heard, but where felt. "Tell them (caretakers), Thank You" - " We are loving people" "Why me?" - "God's Child" - "Why did God allow this" .... "Can you help us'? on and on it went, hitting me from all sides, back and front, nothing verbally said, but the speaking from the souls of the living and those who did pass on in the past during the many years that this location has been there.

This as I said was the strongest and most over whelming spirits (living and passed on), experience I ever had. I was hit so many ways and with so many emotions, that when we got back on the elevator I had to strip off my winter coat and went the rest of the day without wearing it, as I was shaken.

But it is a very, very special experience also, as I was accepted and welcomed by the most innocent souls in the world and Gods special creations, and never experienced a group of people, not knowing me from anyone (not that I thought anyways), who where all reaching out to touch me and their caretakers just watched and accepted it.

I was wondering yesterday why this experience is coming back so strongly to me... And now I know why, as the answer snuck up on me and I can say it kind of looked me right in the face.

As it is preparing me for what is coming up, so I can recall now, all I felt in the past, because I may be feeling much more and much stronger, because on June 21st, Ursula Bielski (Chicago's top Paranormal
Author and Chicago Paranormal Tours) and I will be taking a Beyond the Veil group out to:

Ashmore Estates overnight at the abandoned mental institution in Ashmore, Illinois,- June 21st
Ashmore Estates has long been known as a haunted building.

A bit of history about the location:
> From 1916 to around 1956 the building was the Coles
County Almshouse located on the 200-300 acre Coles County Poor Farm.
During that period as many as 100 people died in the building. From 1956 to 1976 it housed the "mentally impaired" as a mental institution. In 1976 Paul Swinford purchased the building and reworked it to be used as a ICFDD (Intermediate Care Facility for the Developmentally Disabled).
So yes as I always say, there is a reason for a past experience that can not be forgotten, as it prepares you for what is coming.

Yesterday when it hit me, by that, all the remembrance of the feelings and emotions I felt at the one location, it was a warning and reminder of what is yet to come and experience, and right this moment while typing these words, again I breath in and expel a breath of anxiety as I know what is the minimum experience I may feel and doubt that will be all, as I will also be doing my Circle of Energy at the location.

There are a few spots still left if your interested in participating in this experience with Ursula and my self on June 21st for this Beyond the Veil location.

Just e-mail and ask Ursula for Beyond the Veil info at:

Blessing & Happy Hauntings,
