Fifty Years a Medium – Chapter 12, 12/13 by Estelle Roberts

“It is a photograph of your grandfather. You brought it as a present for Estelle.”
For a few seconds Terence looked dumbfounded, and he said: “I don’t have to ask how you know. Red Cloud of course.”
“Yes, Red Cloud.”

“But what I don’t understand is how he knew. I was setting off to come here and I only thought of it at the last minute. It just occurred to me Estelle might like it.”
He was quite right. I was delighted to have it.

As I have already pointed out, Shaw Desmond was a born investigator. Never would he accept any claim at face value if it offered an opportunity for further research. He was therefore the ideal person to check some unexpected details given regarding strangers.

Red Cloud told the twenty members of one direct voice sitting in my house that he was concerned for a man and woman living in a small Yorkshire village at an address which he gave in full. He said that on specified days the couple spent regular hours each week on private conversation in memory of their much loved son.

The boy was, known to them by a pet name, and he too had his own nickname for his father. Red Cloud gave each of their names. Nobody in the circle had ever heard of these village folk. Red Cloud added that the mother was suffering from a painful internal ailment which could and should be cured.

“At this moment,” the guide said, “the woman is writing a letter to the little man Desmond. It will reach him in two days time. It will tell him the things I have told you and will ask for guidance which he will gladly give.

Two days later the letter arrived. The name, address and pet names were exactly as described. The woman even made mention of the internal trouble from which she was suffering. It was astonishing, unsolicited evidence which Desmond investigated down to the last detail and in doing so he was able to give the help for which the couple had asked.

I have always thought this to be a remarkable instance of the so-called dead watching over the living, instructing them how best to meet the troubles that beset them, and where to turn for help when the burden becomes too great.
