The Paranormal

[Miss Scarlett]

I know for certain that my Mom is with me, especially at work. She was an attorney and we worked together for over 10 years until she retired in 2001.

I've been under the weather for the last few days so my brain has been a bit foggy. Yesterday I was drafting a very complex Separation Agreement and had to incorporate a clause I had never encountered in my 20+ years in law. I dug through my personal sample library, the docs my boss has in our system, my books, case law, statutes...everywhere I could think of looking for just the right language to convey our client's wishes while complying with the law. After a few hours of searching I came up empty. So I ended up just staring at the screen wishing I could talk with my Mom about this - we used to write by collaboration. Then I just started typing - not thinking, just typing. And in one attempt came up with the exact language needed. The only changes my boss made to this portion of my draft was having me combine two sentences and change the layout of the paragraphs to fit her writing style not my Mom's.

I know that was from my Mom. She was one heck of an attorney and kept her law license active until she died - I've got her actual license document here in my home office. I guess she's still "practicing."

How impressive Miss S...I'm sure your mom is right there when you need her most of the time. That is a hard bond to break a mother and child i would think Glad she came through for you :::smiles:::A lot of people In my opinion wouldn't have had the trust to let their fingers move with out a specific direction, ya know...but you had faith in her and that i so enjoy reading about, a bond that strong.

way to go on the good work !

My mom visited her cave as a young woman and told me she got the hell scared out of her...I never went but read a few of the books written about her and her time torturing the Bell family...she would rip the sheets off the beds of the children and pull one of the girls hair < i forget the names> and when she was alive they say she would sit in the middle of a room of the house and hair pins would fly out of her hair...also the window shutters would open and close by themselves.She would also climb into bed with some of the bell family at night and freak them out.....she still haunts the homestead I'm sure of it!
I've heard there are markings in the cave supposedly that is where she died so she resides there still.

I wonder if I can still find it? and in the daylight? Its been at least 20 years since I have visited the homestead. At Halloween they give tours of the cave now, but they charge and have a guide. I bet it is not as scary.

Have you heard of Lilydale? http://www.lilydaleassembly.com/
We went with Cynthia's grandmother. I did not really believe before we went there and I am not sure how it all works, but they are for real. It was a very changing trip for us. Especially Cynthia. I was afraid to go this past Summer, I have been having such a hard time with my Dad's death (we hated each other) that I was scared if I went he would come through and I have spent most of my life trying to get over his abuse and him. I kept seeing him for a while and Bit and Gryph helped me with that, but I don't want to start it up again.

I do hope to feel centered enough to go again sometime, it is quite an experience. They say only positive spirits come though, but I am still scared.

As for saying too much on line?
Maybe I just don't care any more?

Lilydale was on TV a while ago. I am not sure if it was Paranormal State or another show of the like. I would like to go there.

I live a short distance from there. This summer my daughter and I are going to start taking some classes there. I actually dated one of the teachers there for a short time

I am soo excited to hear you bring this up because I am a Lily Dale enthusiast !! I love it there .. I spend most of my summers there. I know you have nothing to fear while there, it is sacred ground, that's for sure !! Did you see any real good mediums while there ??

I had never heard of Lily Dale before reading this thread. I have looked at the website but I would love to hear more from someone who has been there.

I have wanted to have a reading for many years but have never done it. My life has been full of twists and turns and once again I have found myself at a cross roads. I have been uncertain which way to proceed from here and I would really enjoy some input from the universe and the powers that be.

If anyone has a suggestion as to whom I should talk to or how to go about finding someone I would greatly appreciate it!

That sounds so cool. I am also very interested in what I call the Romantic Diseases like TB, Cholera and so forth. Do you live near Nashville?

I have been once, but do want to go again, just this last Summer with the my Dad stuff it was too much.

We went to the stump in the Forrest and a medium spoke to Cynthia's grandmother and gave her a message from her Husband, we were all in tears the rest of the day. They went last Summer and had readings, but I stayed home.

The Mandala monks were there when we went which was so cool.

I have not had a reading on my own, but would love to.

It is a beautiful little Victorian village filled with mediums and surrounded by a lake and an enchanted forest. They have free services with readings a couple of times each day and lot's of mediums who live there full or part time. There is a sweet pet cemetary, a fairie walk, its just lovely.

Femmy1, I am so excited to know you are there often, have you actually stayed on the grounds? We stayed near by at the White Inn, which is also haunted and very cool.

I found the place very empowering to women and interesting. I hope to go back when I am ready and feel more centered. JUst sitting in the library looking at the books was wonderful in itself.
