This group began sitting in July 2013 as an experiment using the 'Basic Guide' published by the 'Scole Experimental Group' in 1996.

We've changed the way we sit over the years. I am continuing to develop trance mediumship and Liz gives a mixture of evidential clairvoyance, inspired speaking and trance...

Our intentions are to receive information that will help us understand the bigger picture, why we are here, what happens when we die, the mechanics of mediumship and how we can help in raising the quality of consciousness...

38th Sitting 19/06/2014


We set the room up and sat as usual, kicking off with our Rainbow Bridge Exercise at 8.30pm.

Liz found herself in the hills. There was a large lake like a reservoir with a cable car going over it and up into the hills. Liz got into it and a kind man with overalls, short white hair and beard asked her where she wanted to go. Liz wanted to go all the way up into the hills which he told her was a long way as they set off overlooking valleys and wonderful scenery. They went through clouds into snowy mountains where they got off. It was snowing, visibility was low and there were many children there. There were lots of people waiting to greet Liz and somebody in a long grey woollen garment told her that this was a hospital, a sanatorium, healing for the soul. Liz had gone there to get perspective and she was told she was welcome back when she had more time before she returned in the cable car…

I started off amongst bushes and came out onto a shore which had a kind of block paving surface. I then came to a metal bridge with wooden sides and started to walk over it. When I put my hands on the side rails I noticed there was deep snow on them but no sign of snow anywhere else. I also noticed several cats on the bridge walking between my legs. Things then went a bit wobbly; I lost my bearings then found myself walking in a desert up a steep hill of sand. I couldn’t see anybody but was aware of being watched from all angles. It seemed like there were even people peering from behind the clouds. When I reached the top of the sand hill I stopped and was looking down on a crystal city sparkling in the sunshine. Again there were no people to be seen. I stayed there for a while then returned the way I had come and the dessert morphed back into the bridge…

I was now feeling a little light headed and had noticed the room get darker as Liz told me about her visualisation.

I then did the opening prayer and put the music back on.

Liz reported white blobby shapes swimming around the room.
I saw a whitish mist form throughout the room and several white blobs spiralling around, coming and going, one whizzed past me from left to right.

I had a pressure on my forehead.
It felt cold in front of me and I couldn’t stop yawning.

Liz had a cold feeling on the left side of her face.
She got a strong impression of an insect face looking at her like a dragon fly.
Then she got an image of a Gothic arched doorway in front of her.   

I had a fuzzy feeling on the front of both legs.
They both felt like they were dissolving.
I had a strong sensation of somebody in front of me.
I felt there was something pressing against my face, like a mask.

Liz got a picture of someone standing watching her, South American looking with dark curly hair.
Then Liz got the impression of a grasshopper.

I got a bright grey colour in front of me.
Then an impression of an animal face looking at me with big nostrils, like a donkey or camel.

I felt a buzzing vibration on the side of my face.

Liz felt a touch on the back of her head.
She could see a lot of green and got an image of ivy.
She felt like she had been knocked sideways.

Liz got the name Neddie.

I paused the music for a few minutes to listen out for any noises.
Apart from our stomachs rumbling we heard nothing.

As soon as I put the music back on I started seeing white wispy bits swirling round the room again.
Liz seemed to think that the first tune we played after the pause only played for a few seconds as if she had gone off for a while and missed it.

We both reported a blue/grey mist in the room.

I got a fuzzy feeling on the side of my left leg which felt like it was wrapping itself around it.

I again had a strong feeling of somebody or something in front of me.
There was a cold fuzzy feeling on the front of my legs and face.
I mentally asked it to move closer and tried to sense or experience any more information from it.
I became very cold all over as it seemed to merge into me. I got an image of a huge crystal with many facets like scales on a fish. It was mainly clear then I noticed it was changing to a deep blue from around the edges.

Liz kept getting the phrase ‘Unfinished business’
She felt there was work going on, preparation.
She also got images of people she had known and memories connected with them.

The music ended. We’d both drifted off during the last two tunes.
Once Liz was feeling back with it she did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise.

While she was doing the healing I saw the room suddenly change to a salmon pink colour.
We both had a sense that the room had expanded and was ringing, resonating out into the beyond...

37th Sitting 12/06/2014


We had the room set up and sat as normal.

At 8.30pm we started with the Rainbow Bridge Exercise…

Liz began with a blue stretch of water. It was like a lagoon with pockets of sand between the shallow water. There were rocks with a bridge between them. Beyond the rocks was a lovely landscape with trees, houses and people. Liz wanted to get there and had to cross a rope bridge. A girl came towards her as she crossed dressed in white. Liz knew the girl but couldn’t place her, then another girl joined them and they all crossed the bridge together. They were very friendly, like the epitome of the friendliest women Liz had known, very spiritual, positive and open. They entered an eco-village with windmills and met a man in a white robe with a white beard. He told Liz she was very welcome here and could come back any time, this was her territory. The two girls accompanied Liz back to the other side…

I started walking over marshy, grassy ground. I noticed to my right a white heron sitting on a fence. As I walked past it took off and was flying above me. I reached a wooden bridge which stretched over choppy water. The heron was still above me and followed me as I crossed the bridge. I eventually came across a Victorian lady in a long white dress. She was holding an empty wicker basket and I then noticed the heron had a similar wicker basket in its beak. It swooped down to the lady and they swapped baskets. I could see that the one the lady now had wasn’t empty and I walked over to her to see what was inside. It was full of golf ball sized pearls surrounded in a mist like dry ice. She told me they were pearls of wisdom and handed me one to take back to my side…

I’d noticed shooting stars coming down in the room while Liz was telling me about her trip.

I then did the opening prayer and put the music back on.

Almost immediately I felt a fuzzy feeling on my right leg starting on the side then working its way round to the back.
I couldn’t stop yawning.
I felt a light touch on the big toe of my right foot.

Liz had a distorted feeling on her face like it was being pulled in different directions.
My face felt like the right side had become heavier or was being pulled downwards.
Liz had a similar feeling on the left side of her face and said it felt like the right side of her face wasn’t there.

I sensed a lot of movement swirling around in front of me but nothing visual.    

Liz had touches and tickling in her hair on the left side.
I felt like my right ear was being pulled downwards.
I had a pressure on my right foot.
Then I got tickles in my hair on the right side and a pressure around my right eye.

Liz had the impression of looking through a window at holly and Christmas trees.
She was drifting off a bit.

My throat was feeling irritated making me cough.
It looked lighter and blue to my right.

I felt tickles round my right ankle on my left foot.
Then I had a tickle and fuzzy feeling on the front of my left leg.
The fingers on my left hand felt fuzzy.

I saw a wavy light in front of me.
My nose became blocked.
I felt a fuzzy feeling and a pulling on the back of my neck.

I had a vision of green bushes covered in red berries.

I felt light touches on the back of my left hand.

About half way through our session I turned the music down a bit for three tunes and we listened out for noises.

There were a few taps coming from the wall to my left but we weren’t sure if they were from the next door neighbours or not.
I asked the spirit team to do it again if it was them but they didn’t so we concluded it was probably coming from next door.

I turned the music back up again.

Liz got the name Linda.
Then she got Norman, crochet, and she was shown a suitcase.

There was a loud click/crack which sounded like it was in the room, high up on my right which is the opposite side to our noisy neighbours.
It came out on the recording…


The music ended and Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise.
She felt she was being overshadowed during the healing while to me the room looked like it was getting lighter and then became a gold colour…

36th Sitting 05/06/2014


We sat and set the room up as usual.

At 8.30pm we started with the Rainbow Bridge Exercise…

Liz began with beautiful yellow irises all around her and a path through fields and ponds down to a river. There was a woven willow bridge across the river which Liz started to cross. It was populated with deer, donkeys, rabbits, all sorts of animals and children and as Liz reached the other side she saw that was like an enchanted forest with more animals and children. There were schools that she had seen before and there seemed to be all the fairy tales and characters there, Alice in Wonderland, Hansel and Gretel, etc… A tall woman with short dark hair came up to Liz. She was friendly but not over warm, a dispassionate friendliness. Liz felt it would be nice to have a big hug but felt that was implicit, she was slightly stern. She told Liz that the fairy tales and characters were all important devises for teaching the children and protecting them somehow. They helped them develop imagination. Liz got the feeling of lots of bottles of milk, the feeling of them being nurtured, looked after. Then Liz was given a box full of bubbles, she got into one of the bubbles and the lady blew her back to her own side…

I started off going down some black marble steps between rocks leading me to a dry, warm sandy beach. I walked across it to a wooden bridge which looked like it had been well used as it was covered in sand from the beach. As I made my way across the bridge it got colder and I began seeing snow on the bridge. When I reached the other side everything was covered in snow and I found a group of Eskimos sitting round a fire and I joined then for a chat. They told me they were pleased I was doing the circle reports in a thorough and honest way each week and I should carry on doing them as they were useful to others both now and in the future…

I then did the opening prayer and put the music back on.

I had a pressure on my forehead.
I was cold around the front of my legs and face.
It looked light in my peripheral vision and I kept noticing flashes in front of me.

Liz commented that she too had been seeing similar flashes earlier just before we did the Rainbow Bridge. She described them as a visual aura.

We both felt light headed.

Liz got the name ‘Susan’

Liz saw a cluster of small lights go on and off in front of her then she saw moving shapes.
I had a pink/orange mist in front of me with a few dim white lights swirling around in it.
I also saw a few pin-prick lights come and go.

Liz was getting cold.

Liz had lumpy white shapes in front of her, then dim torch lights.
I felt tickles on the back and top of my head.

Liz felt like something was being whirled around on her right eye.
Then I had a line of light go across my right eye and I felt a fuzzy feeling around it.

I had a fuzzy feeling on the back of my neck, then on my right leg between knee and foot.
I saw a bright blob in front of me.

My right leg now felt like it wasn’t there but I still felt my foot!!!
Then I got the same feeling in my right arm.
I felt like something was slowly moving through me, right to left.
I was kept very still.

Liz had a prickly feeling in her hair, then a feeling of something sliding over her head and down the left side. It felt to her like a hand.

Liz then got a strange feeling down her left side like it was melting.
This mirrored what I was feeling.

It now felt like something like a towel was being wrapped around my right leg.
My left arm became fuzzy.

I then had a warm feeling on my left leg just above the knee. It was like a warm hand was resting on it but I only felt the warmth, not the physical touch.

I didn’t turn the music down this week as I felt I shouldn’t move at that point.
I suddenly got very cold all over.

Liz felt a tap on her head like a rap from a knuckle.
She then felt a pressure pushing down on her head.

I had another bright blob in front of me.

For a few seconds I got the impression I was seeing the music not hearing it. It appeared like a flat sea shell out of the player.

I got very cold again.

We both drifted off for a while as the last two tunes played.

Liz came back with…
‘Cathryn, a field of daisies and sunshine’

We both felt a bit catatonic at the end but once we were both feeling back with it Liz did the healing exercise, closing prayer and our closing down exercise…
