About

Linda Waters

Our neighbour stopped me on my way home from school. She ushered me into her home. 'I'm so sorry', she said. 'Your father has just passed away'. 'No. He can't be!' I cried. It must have seemed a natural reaction to her, but I couldn't believe it. My father had been ill for the last few years and whenever he was in pain, I 'knew'. Why hadn't I 'known'? Why hadn't I sensed that something was seriously wrong? At the age of twelve, I found it hard to understand.

In my late twenties I attended a Spiritualist Church service. During the service the Medium gave me a detailed description of my father! I had never met the medium, but somehow, she knew details of my relationship with my father that she couldn't possibly have known. She told me that my father had passed to the Spirit World with a heart attack. She said he was 'telling' her that he had gone in an instant. He wanted me to know that he had not been in pain.

There was nothing to 'feel' nothing to 'know'. Dad hadn't been in pain. When I left the church at the end of the service I sat in my car and let the tears fall.

It was to be the first of many visits to Spiritualists churches, and the first of many messages from my loved ones in the Spirit World. Eventually, I became a Spiritual Healer, demonstrated my mediumship offering evidence to congregations, became a tutor to many students and developed the faculty of Automatic writing.
