 How we met and became Television Psychic Mediums
CRAIG'S STORY: "Jane and I were together in a
previous life, and we were destined to be together in this
one. We both have a recurring dream in which we're being chased
by soldiers and dogs. It's during Mediaeval times and we're
running for our lives. We pass a moat and run into woodland.
I think we're in France.
I believe Jane and I, and our daughter Danielle,
were beheaded in our past life and although in the dream we usually
wake up before it gets to this point. All three of us have identical
birthmarks above the hairline on our necks, where they would have
been cut.
Jane and I used to have exactly this same
dream before we met, and when we describe it to each other we couldn't
believe it.
It was Jane's spiritual 'Guide', her late
grandmother Ethel, who brought us together. She communicated to
us from the spirit world and gave us instructions which to us meeting.
FAMOUS PSYCHIC MEDIUM DORIS STOKES
But it was the medium Doris Stokes who first
predicted we would get together. In 1982, I went to see her with
my sister Vivienne, whose husband had died of cancer. I had recently
split from my first wife and was bringing up our sixteen-month-old
daughter Celeste, alone.
Doris, who's now sadly dead, told me that I would marry
again. She said my wife's name would be Jane Wallis and that I would
meet her on March 6. She wasn't said I would have another child
with this woman, and that when I met her I would be working as a
medium.
At the time I was running an advertising
agency, and I thought nothing more of it until six years -later
March, 1988- by which time I'd trained as a psychic.
I'd always been a very spiritual person
and into spiritual things, but it was only in my thirties that my
powers as a medium really developed. As the recession started to hit my
advertising company and the work slowly drained away, I began to
have more and more time for psychic matters. I finally closed the
business in 1990 and became a full-time medium.
MEETING AT SPIRITUALIST CHURCH
 I used to practice my powers at Spiritualist churches. The day I first met Jane-March 6,1988-I was doing a demonstration
at Eastleigh Spiritualist church in Hampshire. A woman suddenly
came through from the other side telling me to speak to a 'lady
in blue'. The woman in my vision said her surname was Barber and
turned at to be Jane's grandmother, Ethel Barber.
Jane was sitting
at the front, wearing blue, and I was strongly drawn to her.
Ethel told me that Jane was a medium too, and was quite insistent
that I ask her for a reading (Mediums can't do readings on themselves)
So, I ask Jane, in front of the whole audience,
if I could come to see her, and she agreed. What I didn't know then
was that Ethel had also come through to Jane and had told her to
wear blue and go to my demonstration.
When I went to see Jane a couple of days
later, she had followed her grandmother's advice and cooked roast
beef, which is my favourite. We made an instant connection-presumably
because we had known each in a past life-and got on brilliantly.
Doris Stokes had made an uncannily accurate
prediction: Jane's maiden name is Willis, not Wallis but Wallis is
her grandmother Ethel's maiden name.
Both of us were divorced and neither of
us had any intention of getting married quiz, but as it happened
we were married within three months. It just felt right. Forces
beyond our control were pushing us together.
PARANORMAL LIGHT
I guess you could say that we had an unconventional
courtship. We were in bed one night when a huge shimmering ball
of light shot into the room. It ricocheted across the walls for
about 20 seconds filling the whole bedroom with a silver light and
emitting a strange, intense energy. Then, as quickly as it had arrived,
it was gone.
Jane thinks it was an angel who had come
to protect us from poltergeist we were going to exorcise the following
night.
 GHOST HUNTING
The next night was a typical 'date' for
us. We met up with a few other mediums and headed for a barge on
the river Hamble which was haunted by the poltergeist -a sailor
had been killed by a blow to the head. It was pitch black if and
we were taken across the water in a tiny rowing boat. Then we had
to walk over a plank onto the barge. Inside it was freezing cold
and the lights were flickering on and off.
This ghostly entity made its way round each
and every one of us. We all sat in a circle and each of us tried
to persuade the sailor to go over into the spirit world. He was
frightened because he thought he'd be punished for the than things
he done when he was alive. At one point we simultaneously felt a
blow to be head, because of the way the sailor had died. We all
had to concentrate very hard, and eventually we persuaded him to
pass over.
All our dates were taken up with spiritual
matters. We met the Dalai Lama when he was over here in Britain and had days out at
psychic fairs. Often we'd accompany each other to the venues where
we were holding demonstrations.
We got married in Bitterne Spiritualist
church in Southampton, which resembles a Scout's hut more than a
church. The invitations carried the Ghost Busters logo and read:
Your presence is required and spirits will be provided afterwards.
But we decided against dressing like the Adams Family and wore traditionally
clothing.
A lot of the relatives were a bit on edge.
I think they expected to see a lot of Ouija boards around and severed hands coming out of the walls.
We stayed in the George and Pilgrim Hotel
in Glastonbury on our wedding night. We specially requested
the Nun's Cell, which has wonderful Mediaeval artifacts -
a four-poster bed, stained glass windows-and, best of all,
is haunted by nuns. We stayed up all night hoping one of them
would pay us a visit, but we were disappointed. No one turned
up.
Soon Jane was pregnant with Danielle, who
is an extremely psychic child. Because she has grown up with what
we do, she takes the spirit world completely for granted. If Danielle
sees auras and colours around people, just like Jane and I. If
any of her friends wants to pop into the house when we're working,
she says:' Oh no, you can't go in now Daddy (or Mummy) is talking
to the spirits.' I dread to think what the neighbours think.
When I'm out with her I'll offer to buy
her sweets, but Danielle says: 'It's all right, I think Mum is buying
me some now.' And she's right.
Danielle is the only one of our children
living with us and the only one who is psychic. Celeste, my
daughter from my first marriage, is 16 and Jane has two children
from her other marriage, Justin, 23 and 19-year-old Chantal.
(Update: Ages now different since article first appeared in
the Daily Mail)
Jane and I are able to send out psychic
thoughts to each other. The other day I popped to the shops to get
some washing up liquid, and ended up coming back with some silver
polish, too- which isn't the sort of thing you usually buy. It turned
out Jane had sent me a thought asking me to get some.
We have great telepathy. Often I'll come
home and say to Jane: 'Oh you met your friend so-and-so today'-
and of course she has.
Telepathy works best when two people
are in a cheerful frame of mind. Aggression brings down the
barriers. So if Jane and I have had a row, we obviously sense
the hostility and we can't penetrate the barrier. But that's
probably not a bad thing, I suppose.
When the Television news is about to come on, we
play a quiz when we each have to guess what the lead story that
day is going to be. We often guess the same thing- something like
a plane crash or a natural disaster. You'd be amazed how many times
we're right.
William'
our Dachshund/Jack Russell cross is also psychic. He's 16
now and very lively for his age. He sees things, he's very
tuned in. (Update: William has now passed over- and
Jane has seen his ghost from time to time. I am sure he
is horrified to see that we now have three cats:
- who also appear to have linked into the psychic energies
that surround us)
He stays with Jane when she does her
consultations and sees the aura around the person she's with.
If he doesn't like them, he growls Jane takes notice of him
because he has a sixth sense and knows if there is something
bad about a person.
Often Jane and I are upstairs and we'll
want William to join us, so we send a mental command out to him
and he comes running up the stairs. When either of us is on our
way home from somewhere, he goes and sits by the door until we arrive.
It can be any time of day; there's no pattern to it.
When he was younger he used to go and find
Jane when she went out. He always knew where she was. He's quite
amazing, really.
Famous Psychic Medium Jane
 JANE'S STORY: A few days before I met Craig, I sent a prayer
up to the spirit world asking it to find me a nice spiritual man.
When I met Craig I had this feeling I'd known him all my life. There
were these piercing blue eyes gazing down at me, and when he asked
me to give him a reading I could hardly get the words out. I was
shaking.
A voice from the spirit world told me he
was the right man, but I replied: 'No, you can have him back.' After
one unsuccessful marriage, I was wary about getting involved with
another man.
My first husband wasn't remotely spiritual
and, basically, thought I was bonkers. But it was really refreshing
to meet someone like Craig, who was on the same wavelength as me.
It wasn't long before I gave into my feelings.
I think Doris Stokes and her husband John
played a large part in bringing us together, because of what she
said to Craig all those years ago. John, who has since passed over,
gave me away at the wedding, and I'd like to think Doris was there,
watching over us.
Soon after we met I fell pregnant with our
daughter Danielle, who's now eight. My husband's so in tune with
me that, during the pregnancy, he swelled up like a balloon. His
waist expanded from 32 to 38 inches, and he had terrible pains.
I had a water birth at home, and Craig
got into the special inflatable bath we used to help with the birth.
They say that babies born under water are more spiritual- and that
is certainly the case with Danielle.
SENSITIVE PSYCHIC MEDIUM
Craig and I are very, very happy. Psychics
are extremely sensitive, highly-attuned people, so we're very aware
of each other's feelings. It was meant to be. Our paths had crossed
spiritually and it felt right.
Our house stands on ley lines- power points
which draw in the Earth's energy- so it has lots of good vibes.
The house is on the site of an old monastery but we've never
had any ghosts. They'd have to be invited first!
I often know what Craig is thinking, and
vice versa. It can be something quite mundane. I'll be thinking
I quite fancy a curry and he'll say: 'You want a curry, don't you
darling? I'll go and get one.'
My sixth sense also tells me if Craig's in
danger. Once, I was sitting at home relaxing when a mental
image flashed before me of Craig and a red car, and then I
saw a stag. A bright red aura filled the room and I sensed
danger.
Half an hour later, Craig came home and said:
'You'll never believe it- I've just hit a stag. I could have been
killed.' He was very shaken
Luckily, the stag wasn't badly injured. In
the dark, it had come out of nowhere into the road. The feeling
I'd had was similar to what a lot of people get when someone close
to them dies or gives birth.
Once, I was walking down the road struggling
to juggle the shopping and Danielle, who was a baby at the time.
Out of the blue, Craig turned up in his car, even though I was four
miles from home. He'd got a picture of me exactly where I was and
realised I could do with some help.
We lead a very spiritual lifestyle. On October
31, Halloween we're going to India in the hope of meeting Sathya
Sai Baba, the celebrated mystic. He has a massive following and
chooses who he is going to see. We feel drawn to go there.
PSYCHIC DREAMS
Both Craig and I have been having dreams
about him. We feel he's calling us to go to India and wants to see
us. Danielle also feels drawn to him. She says she has seen an image
of Sai Baba in the hall on a number of occasions.
Our special powers are a gift from God to
help people get in touch with loved ones who have passed over. Many
people find it a great comfort.
I was born with psychic abilities.
As a child I saw auras and colours and could hear voices.
Once, at my grandmother's house, I saw a woman wearing a long,
old-fashioned nurses uniform. Her name was Alice.
I said to my grandmother Ethel: 'I didn't
know someone called Alice lived here.' she told me that it was her
sister, a nurse who had been killed by a bomb during the war.
She said I was an extremely psychic child
and she promised to protect me, which she did.
Craig has always been psychic, too. He had
out-of-body experiences as a child and saw auras around people.
However, he didn't develop his powers as a medium until he was much
older, in his late 20's
Although we have this special gift, we're
normal people and do the same everyday things as everyone else.
If I'm shopping in Sainsburys people come up to me and say: 'Fancy
seeing you in here,' as if psychics don't eat.
You can see the look of surprise when people
come here and see the house looks like any other with not a crystal
ball in sight.
