Diary of a Ghost Chaser - The Seance Part 2 - The Sitting

In case you missed Part One of this story - head here first:  http://newcastleghosttours.blogspot.com.au/2015/10/the-seance-preparation-fictional-story.html

Now here is part two:

Primed by the inner circle of seance sitters that were the Medium's guardians for these sessions I sat still with a pounding heart in complete and total darkness.
The inner circle started to whip up the others around the table by telling us all that they could feel the presence of Spirit in the room.
It was swirling all around us, they said... coming up close and peering at us, seeing into our souls.

Suddenly the illuminated balls that were now lying in the middle of the table were suddenly picked up by a darkened hand.
After a moment of silence the noise started...
Thank you Spirit!
We can see you!
Thank you for attending Spirit - show us what you can do!

The commotion went around the table and we were pushed to make comments as these glowing balls came around and stopped in front of certain people as if to give them a closer look.

Then as fast as that had occurred it was over.
The balls dropped back down on to the table and rolled apart.

The hand disappeared into the darkness and a shout arose from the other side of the table across from where I was sitting.

He's touching me on the head - Oh! Bless you Spirit! Bless you!

Then another -
Yes, yes" I can feel him now. He's touching me on the shoulder!

...and so in more frenzied and elevated voices it seemed first to be the inner circle who experienced these ethereal touches and then finally some of the first time sitters.

I could hear the voices of those being touched until it came to me and then I felt the hand on my shoulder.
It felt like a firm hand.
A man's hand.

It was one firm squeeze and then it was over.

It did not feel strange, nor other worldly.

My head was spinning.
The women next to me started shouting...
Did you fell him, did you feel him? Wasnt the touch soft and so healing...
to which I answered...
I felt it as strong and masculine.
No it wasnt, said the woman- it was soft and sensual
Sensual?
Nope, I repeated.
There must be two different spirits then - mine was masculine and strong.

Silence...
Then the prayers and singing started over again.

A whirling of noise and raising of energy - we kept on being told to keep our energy raised!

Now came the next part.

Noise came again from the cabinet..a flurry, banging and things being dropped from a height which we were told were apports that would be checked later on.

And then, once again, the illuminated balls were lifted from the table.
This time the Spirit bought the balls close to his chest.
We could all see the outline of the Spirit's upper body and face as he walked behind the people on the far side of the table.
His chest was naked.
Spasms of joy went through the crowd.
If I wasn't mistaken this was becoming something quite erotic for some of the sitters.
One woman was swooning and begging the figure to come closer to her and allow her to touch him.

It was quite peculiar and becoming uncomfortable.
I was shifting in my chair and promptly told to sit still else I make Spirit angry and he would retract and hurt the Medium.

So one loop of the table was made and then the Spirit chose people by touching their hands and allowing them to place a hand on his chest.
Was I one of the lucky ones to be chosen?
No.
They were describing his skin as being soft, clammy and spongy.

I was beginning to lose belief in the whole process.

This idea of sitting in the dark for another hour as these people carried on was not thrilling me.
My hands were sweaty and cramped from being held and I was feeling a strange sensation of being watched from behind.

My paranormal radar had just gone up - but not from what was happening in front of me, but what i could not see but only feel that was happening behind me.

Lemon Tree Passage Ghost - Local legend is alive and well

Lemon Tree Passage  is a suburb of the Port Stephens local government area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia, located at the end of the Tilligerry Peninsula and surrounded by the waters of beautiful Port Stephens .  Ever since I can remember there have been a few urban legends about a stretch of highway named Lemon Tree Passage Road. The story begins when a motor bike rider and his pillion passenger died after colliding with a four wheel drive killing both. This seems to be the source of the ghostly lights and apparition. These sort of events don't stay quiet in small townships. Stories spread fast often not ending up like they started. Every so often this urban legend makes a comeback with a number to people tempting fate and poking the ghost rider.             A memorial to Dale Dickens on the Lemon Tree Passage Road / Pic: Robert Mckell Source:The Daily Telegraph The  Lemon Tree Passage ghost  f...

Haunted Gladesville Asylum

In the dead of night on Sydney’s Parramatta River, an abandoned asylum sits cloaked in darkness – Gladesville Mental Hospital, once known as Tarban Creek Lunatic Asylum. The History of Gladesville Mental Hospital Gladesville Mental Hospital’s story begins in colonial Sydney with lofty ideals and grim realities. Opened in 1838 as the Tarban Creek Lunatic Asylum, it was Australia’s first purpose-built mental hospital. The site – aptly located at Bedlam Point on the river – was initially designed by Colonial Architect Mortimer Lewis and meant to house just 60 patients in humane conditions. Early superintendents like Dr. John Thomas Digby and later Dr. Frederick Norton Manning sincerely aimed to “treat” rather than merely confine the mentally ill. Manning in particular, after studying overseas, condemned the asylum’s original “prison-like” atmosphere and worked to minimize restraints and improve diets and recreation by the 1870s. In 1869 the name was changed from “Lunatic Asylum” to Gla...

A Peculiar Fascination with Ghosts - the Colosseum in Rome

The Colosseum, or the Flavian Amphitheatre as it was originally known, is a marvel of ancient engineering and a symbol of the grandeur of the Roman Empire. Construction began under Emperor Vespasian in AD 72 and was completed in AD 80 by his successor, Titus. This monumental arena could hold between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, all eager to witness the thrilling—and often brutal—spectacles that took place within its walls. The Colosseum was the stage for gladiatorial contests, public executions, and dramatic reenactments of famous battles. Its vast underground complex, known as the hypogeum, housed gladiators, animals, and prisoners who awaited their fate in the arena above. The bloodshed and violence that occurred here have left an indelible mark on history, and it's no surprise that many believe the Colosseum is haunted by the spirits of those who met their end in its arena. From the ghostly cries of gladiators to the spectral figures seen roaming the corridors, the Col...
