Episode 2: Robert's Watch

Hi, I'm Jennifer, and this is My True Ghost Stories, where I share stories of my supernatural adventures as a spiritual medium, helping trapped spirits to cross over, and more.

Let's get started.

Welcome to episode two of My True Ghost Stories.

I have two stories for you today.

The first is about what I'm going to call facilitating communication between two family members, one living and one deceased.

And the second is about a message I got during a massage for people I don't know.

And here goes.

This story is called Robert.

An acquaintance of mine was an owner of a restaurant that I had never been to, and she had lots of employees who I had not met.

And she knew that I did this work with helping spirits to cross over.

And she told me that in conversation, she had told some of her employees about me and what I do.

So at this time, I had had a serious case of laryngitis, and I had lost my voice completely.

And I was just starting to get my voice back, and it was very gravelly, and it was very low.

So my friend, the restaurant owner, called me one day to tell me that one of her employees that she had told about me had come up to her and asked her, did your friend Jennifer have blonde curly hair and a raspy voice?

And she said, yes.

How did you know that?

because we had never met, and she had not shown him a picture of me.

And he said, she was talking to me in a dream last night.

So she said, well, would you like to talk to her in this dimension?

And he said, yes.

So she got my permission, and she gave him my number.

Before receiving a call from this man, I received a message from the universe.

And the message told me that there was someone named Robert in this man's apartment.

We will call him Steve.

So there was someone in Steve's apartment named Robert, and he was a good person.

I could tell that from this message.

Eventually, Steve called.

And after marvelling together about how we had met in his dream, and his completely accurate vision of me with the blonde curly hair and the raspy voice, which I still had when he called me, he told me, there is a presence in my apartment, and it's not scary, but it has intensified lately.

And nothing in particular had happened in his apartment.

It was just the feeling that he was not alone, and that the feeling was getting stronger, and he was starting to get uncomfortable with this presence.

And he knew that it had something to do with this dream.

So I listened, and I told him, there is someone named Robert in your apartment, and he either likes you or he likes your apartment, and it's a good spirit.

I said, does the name Robert mean anything to you?

And he said, well, my grandfather's name was Robert, but he died before I was born.

And even though he had died before Steve was born, I was pretty sure that that was him.

So I said, yes, I think that's him, but I need to meditate further on it.

So I told him I would check back in with him after I had done some more thinking and some more meditating and figure out what we should do.

And that night, I had a dream.

And in the dream was a picture of a young man in his 30s, and I knew that this was Robert.

And along with this picture, when nothing really happened, just sort of an identification of Robert, another thing that happened in this dream was this long, slow motion vision, which I can only describe as metal folding into other metal.

And I did not know what it was, but I did remember it and took note of it.

So that weekend, I went to church.

I had not talked to Steve again yet because I wasn't through thinking about these things.

And at church, there's a restroom downstairs, and there are stairs that lead up to a door that opens to the lobby of the church.

And for some reason, I have had experienced lots of spirit activity and communication in church lobbies.

I don't know why.

I turned around, I finished washing my hands, and I turned around and I faced the stairs leading up, and standing at the top of the stairs in front of the door leading to the lobby was Robert, the young man in his 30s from my dream the night before.

And he said to me very intensely, when are you coming to Steve's apartment?

And he was so direct with me.

I immediately answered, soon, soon, we're going to set it up in the next few days.

I went home, I did further meditation on Robert and Steve, and during this meditation, I saw a blue wall with a shelving unit on it.

And in front of this wall, I saw an elderly man in a cardigan, who was obviously someone's really nice grandpa.

And I knew that this was also Robert, and I knew that it was Steve's grandpa.

And from the meditation, I knew that it was also time for Robert to cross over to his next level.

I concluded from my dreams, from my vision, from the communication with Robert and the communication with Steve, I concluded that grandpa Robert had been looking after this grandchild for some time and needed to go to his next level, and he needed my help.

After getting an idea of what I needed to do for Robert to help him cross over and what I needed to tell Steve, I called Steve and I told him, it's your grandfather and he's ready to cross over to his next level.

I also told Steve that Robert is a young man outside, but he's an old man inside your apartment.

And Steve told me that his grandfather had died in his early thirties.

So this was really beautiful to me, because it seemed that this spirit had followed his children, and then followed his grandchildren, and then he must have matured as a spirit, appearing as an elderly grandfather when he was near his grandchild, even though he had died as a young man.

So I asked Steve if he had a blue wall with shelving that I had seen a vision of in my meditations, and he said, yes, I do.

So I knew that this was meant to be part of our ritual, and I made a mental note of the metal folding into metal vision I had had, but I didn't really see how that could be relevant.

So I didn't tell Steve about it.

I just remembered it.

We made an appointment for me to come to Steve's apartment one week later, and I spent that time preparing a custom ritual for Robert.

This ritual obviously needed to take place in front of the blue wall for some reason, and I knew that it was going to involve a conversation between Robert and Steve through me.

And that's not always the case.

But I did know that they needed to talk to each other in order for this to work.

One week later, I arrived at Steve's apartment and he told me he had told his family about it.

And those of them that knew Robert said that this was how he was responsible, loving, and doting.

And it did not surprise them at all that the spirit of Robert was lingering near his grandchild.

For the ritual, the first order of business was to talk with Robert near the blue wall.

So I sent Steve out to wait in another room while I had this conversation with Robert.

And Robert did not have that much to say.

He actually just was saying, I'm ready to move on, but I'm worried about leaving.

I'm ready to move on, but I'm worried about leaving.

And that was all.

That was all I got from Robert.

And so I sensed that it was now time for a conversation between grandfather and grandchild.

I brought Steve into the room with us.

I positioned myself between the two of them, and I told Steve, okay, Robert is going to talk to you through me, so you have to know that it's not me, Jennifer, talking, it's Robert.

And also I told him, I will probably cry.

And don't worry, it's not me crying, it's just part of the process.

These trapped spirits are usually sad or frustrated, and that often comes through while I'm communicating with them.

So, Steve was ready, I was ready, Robert was ready.

I stood between them.

I opened my palms up to each of them, which is how I communicate between two spirits, two beings, and Robert began to speak through me.

And it was so clear that it alarmed me, even though I have experience with this.

It was so clear what he was saying.

So, this is what came out.

He said, Steve, I can't stay here anymore.

And Steve said, okay.

And then my crying began, as I had predicted.

And Robert said, through me, I'm going to leave.

I will still be with you, but not in the same way.

And Steve said, okay.

And the emotion behind what Robert said next was so overwhelming.

It was full of toughness.

It was full of frustration, but mostly it was full of love.

And he said to Steve, are you going to take care of yourself?

And Steve was alarmed by the severity of this statement, this question from Robert, and he just immediately said, yes, yes.

And this was satisfying to Robert.

He did not want to talk anymore.

And it was the end of the conversation.

It's what he needed to know, that Steve was going to take care of himself.

So I sent Steve out of the room again, and I began my ritual to help Robert cross over to his next level.

I did what I do.

Robert went over very willingly, very happily.

He was satisfied.

I think Steve was satisfied.

I was satisfied.

It was a beautiful experience.

Robert crossing over because he needed to go.

After I had finished with that, I brought Steve back in, and we did sort of a summary of what had happened and what was going to probably happen next.

I told Steve, okay, Robert has moved on, and I told him what I had surmised.

I told him that I believe that Grandpa Robert was looking after him.

And now he's satisfied that you are okay, and that you're going to take care of yourself, and he can safely move on to his next level.

And Steve was really moved.

He had never met his grandfather, and to know that his grandfather had been watching over him all this time was very, very moving to Steve.

And it would seem that Grandpa Robert was something of a guardian angel to Steve.

I looked up guardian angel, did some research, and the Cambridge Dictionary defines a guardian angel as a spirit who is believed to protect and help a particular person.

And a little more research, I found out that the idea of guardian angels has been central to many religions throughout history including Roman Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.

But belief in angels has been around long before any religion was formed.

There are lots of different religious opinions on contact with or visits from deceased loved ones, what it means, and what these deceased loved ones would be called.

Guardian angels or spirit guides, ghosts, friends from the other side, I don't know.

But this really happens, and I've seen it happen so many times.

I, of course, believe in it, whatever you want to call it.

And I believe that in this case, Grandpa Robert was guiding and protecting Steve.

Steve explained to me that his grandfather had died in a train accident, and the train accident had been caused by a problem with the trestle under the tracks.

And I knew from this story that this was the image of the metal folding into other metal that I had seen in my dream.

This crossing over was particularly moving for me.

It was wonderful for me to help this kind, kind grandfather move on and to let Steve know that he was so loved by a family member that he had never even met.

I spoke to Steve a few months afterwards, and he told me that all was clear in the apartment now.

And although there was no activity anymore, and he did not feel like someone was watching him, and he did not feel that he was not alone, he still felt watched over by his grandfather.

And I'm sure that that is true.

And here's our second story.

This is a story about a message that I received while I was getting a massage.

I booked myself a massage at my favorite spa.

It's really fancy, beautiful rooms, highly trained massage therapists, really expensive.

And I always get a lot of spirit activity when I go here.

It is a very energetically active location.

I arrived in the early afternoon and I was led to a different room that I am usually in for my massages at this place.

It was sunny, much brighter than the other rooms at this location.

And this location used to be a doctor's office.

So all of these elegant, new agey, soothing massage rooms were former exam rooms, which I'm sure we're not as comforting and relaxing to be in.

In this sunlit, light blue room, my massage began.

Sometimes, I chit-chat a little bit with the therapist in the beginning, but I was pretty quiet for this one.

And as far as spirits go, usually I am able to maintain boundaries with them when I'm not working.

But in situations like this, a massage with relaxing music playing in the background, no talking, it's pretty easy for spirits to get my attention with like a simple hello.

And that happened.

I was really enjoying this massage, and I started to get a message, and it was about the name Eric and the statement, I want them to know that they are my friends.

Now, I really wanted to stay quiet, but this seemed important, and the spirit was so gentle, that I just wanted to help this spirit.

So I talked.

I told the massage therapist that I'm a medium, and she was cool with that.

So I proceeded.

I said, there's something about someone named Eric.

Do you know someone named Eric?

And she said, well, sort of.

I know there was a couple's massage in here about an hour ago, and it's a married couple named Eric and Erica.

So that seemed to be it.

The message was not from Eric.

It was for Eric and Erica.

And I had gotten the image now that this was the spirit of a woman talking to me.

So I asked the massage therapist, can you get a message to Eric and Erica?

And she said, yes, the owner of this location is personal friends with them and sees them often.

So I told her, okay, the message from this woman's spirit for Eric and Erica is, tell them that they are my friends.

She agreed to tell the owner, and I was able to enjoy the rest of this fabulous massage in silence, and the spirit didn't talk to me anymore, although I did sense that she stayed just sitting there in the room, you know, but whatever, that's fine.

Nobody was talking to me.

The owner of the spa was an acquaintance of mine, and I ran into her about a week later, and she told me that she had spoken to Eric and Erica, and they immediately know who the spirit was that was sending the message.

She didn't give me much detail, but she did tell me that they told her they had a friend who, at that time, was at the very end of her life, and she was no longer communicating, and this is something that she would have wanted to say to them before she passed.

She would have wanted to say, tell them that they are my friends.

And that was the end of my involvement.

I received no more communication from any of the parties involved.

This was the first time I had gotten a message from a spirit who was still physically alive, and I've learned a little about where one's consciousness might be at this brink of transition to the other side.

I found an article online on the National Institutes of Health website.

And the article comes from the National Library of Medicine and the IMCJ, which is the Integrative Medicine, and a clinicians' journal.

And it's called Case Report, Energy Field Changes Approaching and During the Death Experience.

And it was addressing the art of end-of-life care.

So the background is, this case report discusses subtle energy changes identified and observed in three case studies during the dying process.

Biofield changes.

And a biofield is a massless field, not necessarily electromagnetic that surrounds and permeates living bodies and affects the body.

So biofield changes were noted during three case studies using assessment procedures of hand scan and penduling, which are Reiki practices.

Comparisons were made with near-death experiences and reports of care providers regarding subtle energy changes observed during their care of the terminally ill as they moved through the dying process.

And the summary of the report is that patterns of changes in the biofield observed during the dying process included the biofield decreasing in size and intensity from the feet upward and chakras closing or reducing activity from the root to the crown as the person moved closer to death and the energy field moved up and outward from the crown with death.

So what I've gathered from this is that someone who was dying as their chakras close one by one from the root to the crown as described in this article, they might be before they die in a state where they would send messages like a spirit who has already passed.

And I have heard stories from other mediums about receiving messages from people who are in the dying process.

And it has happened to me a few times since then.

My guess is also in this case, this spirit may have been following this couple around, trying to get this message to them.

And I also believe that the universe somehow arranged for me, a medium, to be in the room that they had just left.

And this spirit knew to wait there for me, and I would hear her message and get it to them.

And how all that happened, I do not know.

I am so grateful that I was able to get this message, though, to Eric and Erica, and hopefully bring comfort to this spirit and help her to cross over in peace.

And that's all for today.
