In June 2009 I was going through a very tough time in my life and I felt so depressed and did not know which way to turn. I felt lost and afraid, alone and desperate for help. I then started to notice that there was a spirit following me around. Each time I felt really down and alone I would feel it's presence comforting me, I would hear strange noises and whispering in my ear. I would also feel as though someone was giving me a hug, touch my shoulder or standing next to me.
At night I would feel as though someone was sitting on the end of my bed or a hand was resting on my leg. I did not feel afraid as I felt that this was a good presence and it only appeared when I was feeling low. Each time I felt it I was left with a comforting feeling that I was not alone.
One day I invited a few girl friends round for lunch as I though it may help to make me feel a little better - having the company. A friend of mine called Kim (who is also psychic) came too. She picked up on the presence instantly. She asked me if I realized that I had a spirit around me and I said yes. She said that she would try to see what she could pick up on this spirit.
She said that she could see a tall man who was in his 70's. He was in the army and that he was connected to me some how. She said the month of June is an important time for him. She also said that when he was alive he was a stern person who liked things to be kept in order. He was also a loveable and empathic person who used to make people laugh. I could not place who he was.
Kim then said that in the end of his life he had trouble breathing and she felt that he had died from breathing problems, possibly cancer in the chest and throat. The initial E kept coming to her. She said that when I am down, this man will gently massage my shoulders to comfort me. She said that there were many spirits around me. She said that one of the spirits around me is an elderly woman, small and who had trouble standing with out support.
I thanked Kim for the things she had said and then thought that I would give it a go and see what I could pick up. I stood up and shut my eyes asking for the spirits to talk to me. Straight away the name James came to me. I felt he enjoyed fishing and that he was lost. I thought he was connected to my friend Monica as she has a son named James - but knew the spirit could not be connected to her as James is still alive.
Anyways, a few days later I sat working at my computer when I got the strongest feeling that I was not alone. I could feel a presence standing next to me. I did not feel afraid, I felt comforted. I tried to be brave and asked in my mind, "Is there someone really there or is it just my imagination?” Just then I felt this feeling as though someone were tugging at my skirt. I looked down at my skirt and to my surprise my skirt was swaying very quickly as though someone had a hold of it and was moving it two and throw.
I just sat there in amazement as my skirt swayed quite quickly too and throw. It then stopped for several minutes before swaying again. That afternoon I rang my friend Annette (who is also psychic) and told her about the skirt incident. As soon as I stopped talking Annette suddenly said, "There is a man in spirit around you Tash and he is about 32-35 years old - that is the age he is showing me. His name is James Brooker and he looks like he is from the 1940's / 1930's time period. I can tell this because of the type of clothes he is wearing."
She said he is wearing a waist coat with a watch in one of the pockets. He has shinny black shoes on and a cap on his head. She said he loved to go fishing. She also said that he is a very caring and kind man and does not mean me any harm. He is very gentle and is tall, handsome and has brown hair.
She said that he has been lost and traveled a long way - he has been on a very long journey. He feels comfortable around me as I remind him of his wife. He is happy and settled here with me.
A few days later I was sweeping the floor in the living room when I looked up and saw a tall silhouetted man walk though our kitchen and into the dinning room before vanishing. I knew straight away that it was James. He also keeps blowing on the back of my neck to get my attention.
That same day I was working at my pc while listening to Earth Angel by the Penguins (one of my favorite songs) when, I heard a male voice humming along to the song right behind me and right near my ear - I could actually feel warm breath on my ear. Of course when I turned around I could not see anyone there and I was home alone. Now each time I play that song I can hear James humming along.
Not long after James was humming along to Earth Angel did I hear a soft tapping on our kitchen cupboard. The tapping started off quietly but got louder and louder. I went over to the cupboard and opened it but as soon as I did the tapping stopped and the was nothing strange in the cupboard. I shut the cupboard and sat down and a minute later the tapping started up again. This began happening regularly and still does to this day.
James has many ways of letting me know that he is around. Some times I will be watching telly when I feel someone tickling my feet. Or I feel James’s presence by my side. I always see him of the corner of my eye, or walking up our stairs. I don't think there is a day that does not go by where I do not sense or feel his presence. Even now while typing this entry I have seen a small glowing yellow light ball move from above the pc to behind me and around me.
When I first met James I was going through very bad postnatal depression. I felt like giving up on life and I was at my lowest. Then James came along and helped to give me hope and love and support. Not long after meeting James I found a brilliant job at The Psychic Detective website, I also created Psychic Direct and other websites. I even started a small group up where we learnt all about spirit guides and angles. James helped me though some of the tough times in my life.
I am forever grateful to James for all the help and support he has offered me over the years. He is my hero and I am so grateful that he decided to stay with me and be my very own spirit guide. He helps me when I do my work and helps to guide me each day. I have a deep love for James - a brotherly love for my special spirit guide.
Some times James calls my name. One occasion I could hear him calling my name quite clearly. I was so busy looking in one of my cupboards for something that I did not realise it was him calling me. I thought it was my husband Dave. So I kept saying yes then I would hear, "Tash" so I said yes again and this happened several times. Because I was so wrapped up in what I was doing I got annoyed and said out loud, "Yes Dave I can hear you I am right here."
Dave who was sitting just a few feet away said, "What I did not call you." I then realised that it was James. I did find what I was looking for after that so I think James was trying to tell me where to look - I just was not paying attention at the time.
Only recently about a month or so ago I had one of my friends Charlie come round for lunch. She is a new friend of mine whom I have not known for long. Soon after she arrived at my house she said, "Do you know that their is a male spirit here who likes to stay near your stairs?" I knew straight away that she was sensing James. She said that he wares a cap on his head and has a small tash - moustache that is neat and trim. She said that he is an elderly man who is hunched back. She said there is also an elderly lady who stays here and she loves to knit. She is always knitting and watching what is going on in the house. (Both Kim and Annette have told me about the elderly lady who knits too and I have seen her many times.) With James I think he passed over when he was elderly but chose to show himself to Annette as a younger man as that is how he would like to be remembered. I always see him watching me as I clean the house and I see him on our stairs a lot.
