A happy new year to all and welcome back to the Sanctuary blog.


It’s been almost a whole 12 months now since we first sat together in a newly built and freezing cold garden shed (sorry, Spirit Lodge) with no windows and plastic garden chairs. Six or seven of us then, sitting in the dark, taking turns each week to sit in the cabinet, determined that somewhere between us we would find the ability to enable Spirit to reach into the physical world and prove their existence beyond doubt through physical phenomena.
We had no idea or preconceptions as to how or what these phenomena might be or even who within the circle was most likely to facilitate them through some form of mediumship.

Since then a few people have moved on to other things and left the circle, a few have joined. We’ve been privileged to allow a few visitors to the circle and so far, every single one has gone away convinced that Spirit truly are working with us and that the phenomena we are witnessing is 100% valid.
Overall it’s been an amazing year and the progress has been phenomenal. Both Sandy and Brian’s personal development as Trance and Physical mediums has been amazing.
Other sitters have also shown that not only does the medium develop within the circle but also the sitters as well –both Paul and Chris have developed previously unsuspected abilities that 12 months ago they would have scoffed at.

Anyway, back to last night.
At 8pm on the dot, we braved the weather and crossed the garden into the Lodge. Which is now comfortable, warm and cosy. The green plastic chairs have been replaced with natural wood and the walls are lined with drawings, photo’s and samples of spirits work over the last 12 months.

The small thin cable ties we have used in the past have now been replaced with thick heavy duty versions and I was looking forward to see if this would slow down Spirit’s ability to release Brian from the restraints.

With the curtains closed and the music started, the red light was turned off. Immediately Chris notice the red LED on the tape recorder was not covered and reached forward to place the carefully designed light shield over it (this involves getting a piece of Blu-Tack to stay stuck down and cover the LED).

While Chris was still trying to get the Blu-Tack to stay stuck in the right place we could hear the first two cable ties being snapped. A minute later we heard the other two go, followed by the familiar sound of the chair rocking and tapping in time to the music.

At the Chief’s request at the last séance, the first 4 tracks played were soft & trancy and I could feel the difference in the room as the energy levels increased.
This change is in order for the spirit team to try and get Brian to relax more deeply so that they can take him more deeply into a trance.
This is interesting as it shows that there is much more to the management of the process from their side than you might assume. Also they have made comment on how the level of trust the medium has in spirit makes a huge impact on how far back they are able to take him/her.

Despite the conscious willingness to develop and desire to work as a physical medium, the sub consciousness seems to be a lot more wary of the process and needs to be led slowly and carefully before the necessary trust is built up though personal experience.
This explains also why some mediums are ‘naturals’ and why some take a long time to let go & to start to develop more fully.

As the evening progressed we could hear more development of the Direct Voice with assorted gurgles, humming and wheezing sounds.
Within half an hour, the Chief turned up, and at the time I assumed he had brought Brian back up to the ‘normal’ trance level to allow him to use Brian’s voice box and vocal system to talk through. However, on reflection I recall that the initial ‘chuckles’ that always indicate his presence came whilst we were still hearing the direct voice sounds and had a very different sound quality.

There was then a short break of a few more minutes before the chuckles returned and the familiar personality of the chief could be heard. – Unfortunately due to a small technical problem with the operation of the tape recorder, the tape ran out just before we got to the Q&A session and it went unrecorded. So we’ll be unable to double check this for certain.

The Chief told us that although not much had happened physically within the lodge to our eyes, he was very pleased with the work that had progressed behind the scenes.
Many people had been witnessing the proceedings from ‘spirit side’ and the was a certain level of admonishment when I asked questions as to whether or not there had been other spirit visitors in the room.

My reason for asking was that I had felt a very strong awareness of various people standing next to me in the dark. Plus the ‘cold’ I had experienced from my thighs down to my feet had become almost too uncomfortable and this seems to be connected to how close I am sitting to the North Corner.
However, I hadn’t mentioned anything to the others as I could see nothing specific or objective. I think the Chief did well to not get too irritated and explained patiently that we all needed to trust our intuition whilst not getting too carried away and start imagining things that are not there.

One of the phenomena I’ve always wanted to witness but as yet have never seen within in a séance setting, is ‘spirit lights’- either as orbs or as a general illuminating glow. I’ve always felt this was a particularly strong evidence of spirit activity, maybe because I’m a particularly ‘visual’ person and with my scientific background and training in physics, I have a strong tendency to believe my eyes.
(Maybe this is why I’ve never felt completely at ease with my own mediumistic abilities? I always wanted to ‘see’ the spirits objectively rather than mentally before I would trust myself to share my visions with others).

I asked the Chief if these spirit lights were perhaps more difficult to manifest than other phenomena. The answer was actually that they are not more difficult but that it is more a case of the correct ‘alignment’ between the spirit world and our own. That the work being done here was based on ‘incremental’ development and that the energy was being focused on developing one step at a time. Other phenomena would come in due course.

Overall a fascinating evening again. Quiet in comparison to other evenings if you measure only the physical phenomena. However, there were other non tangible things going on that were just as interesting -if not more so in some ways.

Next Sunday, I’ll be sitting in a circle with Warren Caylor and I’ll post a report on that experience after the event and then it’s back to Tuesday night again next week.

Please do drop by again next week for another update and you can read the Spirit Lodge Diary for more objective and factual séance reports as well as links to the Friday Healing Circle blog.

Tuesday 18th December

...apologies for the very late posting of this account. Christmas and New Year now past, service should be resumed as normal :-)



This evening was an interesting one.
We have two circles at the Lodge that both sit once a week for purpose of providing/facilitating evidence of the truth of life’s continuation beyond what we commonly refer to as death.
The Tuesday team are working towards ‘direct voice’ and physical phenomena that defy or ‘bend’ the current belief in the “Laws of Physics”
The Friday team are focused on reaching the same objective but through evidential physical healings.

This Tuesday however, as the last circle before Christmas, we decided to combine the two groups and share the evening together.
Due to Illness and vacations, the numbers were low and the 6 of us settled ourselves into the Lodge and Sandy, a trance medium whose development has been meteoric over recent months, settled into the open cabinet.

The most significant difference between the two groups is that Sandy’s work – being primarily through trance is in full white light conditions, whilst Brian on a Tuesday works in blackout due to the blend of different energies being used.

As the first music track was played, Sandy moved almost instantly into trance and her limbs began to move erratically at first and then soon, in time to the music.
This was interesting for me to see, as my only experience of trance has been my own -or a few others within the circle and one or two public demonstrations. In all of these (and in my own experience) going into trance has been a quiet affair, more akin to going into a light ‘sleep’ state than anything else.
Sandy however was quite different and literally animated. As the first two tracks were played, we could see that someone seemed to be controlling her limbs and her head, which were moving rhythmically and her facial expressions which were changing as if there were some kind of struggle for control going on.

Chris, who is much more familiar with Sandy’s trance work recognised her main guide “Joseph” as being present and confirmed that he was trying to maintain his position as being in control. However, a second person was also trying to take the leadership position in order to start working within the séance.
The second visitor – the doctor – finally won over and proceeded to ‘overshadow’ Sandy and demonstrated his ability to move around the room. This level of control seems to be very difficult for him to achieve and he appears extremely susceptible to minor changes in the energy within the room.
However, having circumnavigated the room and with Chris on the couch, he proceeded to manipulate her finger at which time we could all see and hear definite ‘clicking’ sounds.
(see Chris’ on-line Journal at http://www.spirit-lodge-diary.blogspot.com/ and http://evidentialhealing.blogspot.com/ for more detailed information)

-We checked this again afterwards and whatever it was that he was doing, we could not duplicate it ourselves.

Sandy’s other team members all came through over the next 45 minutes and I had the opportunity to ask some specific questions regarding the nature of Spirit’s entry into the earth plane, and what such spirits could learn from only even a brief visit –for instance from a miscarriage.
The answers were clear and precise and given with a level of compassion and dignity that was surprising.

At the end of the séance, Sandy’s guide Joseph asked for his wrist to be tied tightly to the chair’s arm rest. I was then asked to sit directly in front of him/Sandy and my wrist was also tied tightly in the same way (uncomfortably tight I might add!)
I had no prior awareness of this experiment, although it seemed to have been discussed in advance between Sandy & Chris.
Then Sandy/Joseph started to move and rotate his wrist and the cord – a thick woven cotton cord about 10mm in diameter- seemed to stretch.
I imitated the movements as best I could and found that by pulling and pushing against the cord I could also create some ‘slack’ in the cord, but not enough to free my hand.
Within a few moments though, Joseph had freed her hand and mine was still secure. All this time, her eyes had been tightly shut. I was literally only 2 feet away and so can be quite sure of this.
I then used my free hand to pull at the knot and finally got my wrist free from the chair. I then held up my ‘freed’ hand to show ‘Joseph’ that I too was no longer secured.

This is then when I truly had the first real ‘evidence’ that spirit were working independently through Sandy.
With her face turned away when I waved my free arm, Her head pulled round to face me and with an ‘impish’ smile shook her head. She didn’t speak but her expression was clear. I had been ‘beaten’ and she/he had proved themselves capable of somehow changing the cotton cord to allow her wrist to escape.

All in all it was a very interesting experience.

I have to say though, that had I not known Sandy already and trusted both her and Chris absolutely, I would be hard put to accept what I saw as evidence.
Anyone witnessing this would be unlikely to be convinced and would very likely assume it to be false.
However, knowing Chris and Sandy myself, I am personally convinced now that Sandy’s spirit team are most certainly benign (a concern I had harboured for a while) and that they are genuinely working with Sandy to develop into a quite unique Team.

I’ve certainly never come across anything like it myself and I’ve never heard of anything remotely similar anywhere else.
I’m looking forward to seeing how Sandy, Joseph and the rest continue to develop and work together in 2008. It promises to be quite an exciting year.

Tuesday 11th December

An interesting evening by all accounts.

Friday 7th December

Free Spirit Awareness Centre
A public Séance with Warren Caylor

Once everyone had arrived, we all individually searched and scanned as per usual and the rules were read out. Each person was seated and the evening got underway.

Once the second song had nearly finished Rachel’s familiar voice came through to greet everyone and the atmosphere lifted considerably. There were quite a few first time visitors who’d not sat in a true physical circle before and Rachel soon had everyone at ease and laughing.

Yellow Feather made his introduction, speaking to several people and then stepping back to allow Tom to come through.
Tom took great pleasure in playing with the presents under tree and showering everyone with the sweets, unwrapping the toys and slowly taking the Christmas tree apart.
It had been over 10 months since I’d last had a chance to sit in a physical séance with Warren and I could hear the difference in the spirit teams voices. They were much stronger and more ‘natural’ sounding.

A little while later a new voice I’d not heard before came through. It was slightly gravely and with a very ‘correct’ English pronunciation. It talked of philosophy and the state of the planet, the direction in which things were headed. Unfortunately just at that moment, I felt an overwhelming urge to launch into a coughing fit and the concentration on controlling it meant that I missed much of what was being given.
After about 5 or 10 minutes the communicator withdrew and gave us his name as being Winston. Was it “the” Winston Churchill? Who knows? I didn’t hear any hard evidence myself and surely there must be a million Winston’s in spirit but the voice certainly had an air of familiarity about it.

Albert came through and spoke to the man who had checked Warren’s cable ties asking him why he had volunteered to check the ties. He replied that it was simply to be sure in his own mind that everything was secure. Albert commented that this was an excellent justification and as proof of his presence as spirit, dematerialised one of the cable ties from the chair, passed it through Warrens arm, shrank the plastic tie to the size of a finger ring and placed it in the mans open hand. Pretty impressive for a ghost!

Rachel came back and asked if we would like to see Warren completely dematerialised and with a count of 3 (a significant difference to the ‘10 Green Bottles’ that we were asked to sing the last time I sat in the circle) she asked Julie to turn on the red light.
Even from the back of the room -where I had disappointingly ended up sitting- I could plainly see that the cabinet was completely empty and contained nothing but the empty chair. I could even see that the one remaining cable tie was hanging from the chair and the other one was missing entirely.
The lights then went out again as Warren was returned and then on the count of 3 the red light was turned on again and Warren was not only back in the chair again but the gag and remaining cable tie was secured around his wrist –at the end of the evening, this had to be cut off with pliers to release him from the chair.

Around this time Yellow Feather came back asked Julie where the green light was? Julie had to admit that Warren had not yet got around to sorting out a green light for the séance.
Yellow Feather explained to the group that a few weeks ago at a public séance in near Birmingham the room had not been made fully light proof and some green lights had been left on within an Exit sign.
The team had taken the opportunity to experiment and found that the green light was far more effective for full materialisation in the light and as a result had requested green lights for the next séance.
Yellow Feather then instructed Bernie to collect everyone’s contact details after the séance closed in order to invite everyone present back to a ‘special’ séance in the near future, where, under green light conditions, not only would we see yellow feather but also the children and the whole ‘team’ fully materialised in the light!

A few more songs and the energy in the room was really buzzing.
One of the experiments that the team had instigated was the capture on film for the first time, the fully materialised form of a spirit person.
One of Warren’s regular home circle (Malcolm) had brought along his high end digital camera, complete with tripod for Yellow Feather to inspect. Earlier in the evening he had come across to look at it during the blackout and gave it an overall OK.

Now however, Julie was asked to turn on the white light source and Yellow Feather brought his fully materialised physical form into the room. He walked around the room giving everyone a clear sight of his legs and torso.
There was nothing ‘ghost’ like about his presence –other than the fact he appeared to be well over 6 feet tall. And his stomping on the floor made the whole room shake!
He demonstrated his solidity by repeatedly slapping his stomach area with great force –he either had a six pack worthy of a karate black belt or he was all ghost and no body at all.
Sometimes it’s the most unlikely details that make the whole experience the most convincing!

He carried on walking round the room before going back to Malcolm and clearly picked up the camera and tripod in one hand, carrying to back to the cabinet -joking that maybe he’d look after it until the 21st December when the next home circle is due to sit, and the planned photographic experiment is scheduled.
**watch this space for links to these photographs as soon as they are published!!

Rachel and Tom came back and forth into the séance and kept the levels up until eventually it was time to wind up the evening. Tom finally left the CD player alone long enough for Julie to find the ‘coming out’ song on the tape player and Warren was brought back to regular consciousness.

Afterwards, everyone was completely free to examine everything at will. The door seals were removed and Warren was allowed to leave to recover in peace and quiet for a few minutes.
The room was chaos and the Christmas tree was in pieces. The Trumpets and Drums and Whistles – with which Tom had given some truly amazing displays of control and performance earlier- were spread over the room.
We all left our contact details with Bernie and I’m sure that there won’t be a single sitter who will not be looking forward to coming back for a replay under green light conditions.

It was a superb evening, although being directly in line with the white light source, most of the materialisation phenomena that everyone else could see was invisible to me –other than in the form of the odd silhouette passing in front the light.

However, on the couple of occasions when Yellow Feather did come all the way up to the far end of the room, I could see his legs and torso quite clearly. The effect was quite weird, maybe because he was being it from behind, but it looked as if he was semi-translucent and as if he was his own light source as well. Almost like a 3 D X-ray.

Having not been in the séance since last January where I witnessed for myself his first ever full public materialisation in the light, I was happy to see such a fantastic degree of progress since then and can’t wait for my invite back to the green light special in the new year.

Many thanks again to Warren for putting himself in a position to enable the séance and to the spirit team for creating the evidence once again.

Tuesday 4th December

no posts this week or next as I am travelling on business and will have to miss the circle on Tuesday 4th and 11th December.

Tuesday 27th November

7.30am Wednesday morning and I’ve just noticed that Chris has linked this site in her post on the Spirit Lodge Diary, so I’d better post my notes quickly today rather than the usual 2 or 3 days I normally take!

I arrived last night with a strong feeling that the evening was going to be different to what we’ve come to accept as ‘normal’ for our physical circle. I’d been feeling a ‘presence’ or energy around me from about 4pm. And once I was driving towards Bristol this sensation seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
However, once I’d arrived it seemed to disappear altogether which left me wondering if perhaps I’d just imagined it all – a product of an over active imagination?

Once we were in the Lodge and the door and vent seals were closed (to ensure total blackout) I strapped Brian into the chair and closed the cabinet curtains. Everyone settled into their seats and after last weeks suspected physical touch by spirit, we made sure that everyone was evenly spaced out and could not be touched accidentally, thereby making sure that any future sensations of touch could be definitely attributed to Spirit, rather than unintentional human actions.

I was seated in the North Corner opposite the cabinet but as the lights were dimmed and the opening prayer read out, I didn’t feel a particularly strong energy there and I was looking forward to an interesting night.
Within seconds of the first song starting (allowing for the slight delay as our technology challenged leader struggled to get the right CD going ;-) ) we heard all four cable ties being released.
The usual creaking and groaning, banging and thumping noises came from the cabinet for a few minutes and then the toys started to get ejected into the room.

One unusual aspect was that one of the objects landed just by my foot with a light thump. I took this to be one of the rubber rings which being 4 or 5 inches in diameter are quite heavy, so I was quite surprised to see at the end of the evening that what had landed by my foot was actually one of the plastic maracas. This is a fairly light weight toy that has a very distinctive rattle but it had travelled 8 feet from the cabinet and hit the floor without rattling at all.

We soon heard the sounds of more attempts/preparation for Direct Voice as an assortment of gurgles, wheezes and spluttering came from the cabinet. This died down for a little while and there was suddenly the most enormous crash to my left where Lynn was seated. It was so loud and so heavy that I assumed that the chair from the cabinet, complete with entranced medium had been brought into the room and literally dropped on to the floor.
…Unfortunately the chair had connected with Lynn’s left knee in the process, for which we did get an apology later on.

There was then a few minutes calm while we practised our singing before another attempt was made to make contact with us again. This time the ‘voice’ was projected clearly into the room quite loudly and a very clear “hello” sounded out.
This was followed by the comments “Busy” in response to Chris’ greeting, “Very Busy” came across again before going back to more vocal exercises.

Around this time I felt a huge wash of energy surge into the room and around me, the temperature (especially around my legs) dropped rapidly and I started to feel really cold.
About this time there was some loud knocking on the floor in the centre of the room and (believing that Brian was going to be stretched out on the floor having been deposited there complete with chair earlier on) I imagined that perhaps they were using his hands to beat in time with the music.
For a few seconds this seemed entirely logical until I heard the counter beat coming from within the cabinet.
This went on for a minute or two, clearly demonstrating that none of us and certainly not Brian were making the thumping noises which proved that it was spirit that were causing the sounds in time with the music.

This was followed by another attempt at experimenting with different sounds and vocal ranges with direct voice and we then heard a clear voice greeting us from within the cabinet.
Initially I thought it was the Chief and that the different voice quality was a side effect of being ‘worn out’ by all the extra activity, but our visitor quickly identified himself as Brian’s Granddad and we had an interesting chat about his previous life, his character and an explanation as to why he’d not come through so clearly before.

Once he’d gone, the Chief came through loud and strong with his own unique blend of wit and sense of humour. …He must’ve been a bugger to live with in his last life here.
He asked Chris about the different activities we made nearly a year ago when we first started the circle, about why we were interested or drawn towards the Scole Experiment.
I felt that he was rather obliquely asking us to question ourselves as to where we were going and what the expectations were for the Healing circle on a Friday. Why, I have no idea but I suspect in due course it’ll fall into place. He seemed to be quite intent on making a point of it but without being drawn into anything specific.

He also talked about Brian’s trance state and his need to relax more deeply, requesting a specific change to the ‘going off’ music to enable a deeper trance state to be more easily reached. –taking the opportunity to take the Mick out of Brian’s ability to sleep standing up, sitting down or even working.

We were then allowed to put our own questions to him which he answered clearly and concisely. Clarifying the way he sometimes answered our questions and sought his own advice and guidance to make sure we heard the clearest response.

I asked about how best to react or respond when different ‘energies’ were present in the room and was given some good and very supportive advice on when to ‘go with the flow’ and when to resist.

When the time came to finally close the séance, Chris struggled manly (womanly?) with the CD controls before finally admitting defeat and we resorted to singing 10 Green Bottles to give Brian time to return to consciousness.

When the lights were back on, we saw that he chair was on the floor next to Lynn and Brian was cross legged on the floor in the cabinet. Everything else was strewn around the room and the cable ties were open, the belt still securely around the chair.
Unfortunately due to a technical glitch we didn't get a tape recording of the evenings events, so this is my best effort at total recall. Apologies to all if I've missed anything vital or if my version differs from yours.

The teams’ progress took another huge step forward with clear and loud direct voice as well as Granddad Phil speaking clearly and with great control through Brian.

Thanks again to everyone on both sides for making everything possible.
..and for making ‘nothing’ impossible.

Tuesday 20th November

This evening was set to be interesting not the least because this was to be the first time that we were inviting an outside guest to join the circle.
Although we’ve had a number of sitters come for an evening or two, they have either been members of the Friday group or experienced members of other physical circles.

This was the first time we had invited someone to join us who was coming in cold with a certain level of scepticism. He confirmed afterwards that he had expected to come and reveal fraud at worst, self deception at best.

David (our guest) & I arrived about 20 minutes before the séance start and he had plenty of time to get acquainted with the others before going into the Lodge.
As the guest, David was invited to fasten the cable ties around Brian’s wrists and ankles, securing him to the chair.
Then he tied the waist tie with a fast knot. Brian invited him to make the cable ties as secure as he liked and when he was happy with everything and confident that Brian wasn’t going anywhere, the curtains were drawn over the cabinet and we all sat down.

David was seated directly opposite the cabinet. This placed him in the North Corner which was a far from the Brian as possible (just in case of any unexpected movements) but also the place where the most energy is concentrated.

The lights were turned off and the music started. Within the first minute the cable ties could be heard being popped off. Then the usual thumps and bangs as the chair was moved around in time to the music.
The bells were thrown into the room, then Dave (a regular sitter, seated next to the cabinet) said that he had felt something touch first one foot and then the other.

The other articles in the cabinet were ejected and then Brian’s sweater was thrown onto David (our Guest) lap.

The spirit team then worked some more on the extension of the direct voice that they are working towards. Usually this only lasts for about 5 minutes or so, but tonight there were 3 separate and distinct ‘goes’ at getting voice like sounds. Each one lasting 5 minutes or more. It’s difficult to guess how long it will be until they are able to communicate with us directly, but at this rate, it’s not going to be long now.

Eventually the Chief’s now familiar chuckle was heard, signifying that Brian’s trance had been lightened to a state where he could be used to relay a conversation with us.
Both David and myself asked several questions about the nature of the spiritual dimension and details about the transition from physical to spiritual being.

Interestingly the Chief seemed to hesitate in his answers a couple of times, seeming to go away to confer before coming back and explaining in more detail the answers to our questions.
It seemed unlikely that he wouldn’t have know the answers, but our most likely supposition is that the answers as delivered would have to be suitably phrased for all of all the members present. Everyone being on their own pathway, may or may not have been ready to hear the answers in any given level of detail perhaps?
I’ll be looking for further clarification on this next week if I can.

About 2/3rds of the way through the evening, I felt what I thought to be David’s knee briefly touch mine. As we were sitting at about 45 deg to each other, it occurred to be that he may have shifted position to get more comfortable. Just to be sure I let me knee relax slightly to the left and felt the pressure of what I assumed to be his knee again. I immediately moved my legs to the right as a precaution.
Playing ‘footsie’ with my neighbour in blackout conditions might send completely the wrong message altogether ;-)
A little while later I felt something press against my right foot. Now feeling that my companions both to my left and right were being rather generous with their personal space, I remained very static and restricted for the rest of the evening!

The following day David called me up to ask me to pass on his appreciation to the rest of the circle and to say that the evening had given him a lot to think about. And while his expectation had been to find fraud, what he had found had impressed him and seemed to be genuine.
He asked me if ‘hand on heart’ I had touched him during the séance. I told him about having felt his knee push against mine after which I moved out of the way.

But he was more interested in the fact that someone had seemed to ‘tug’ at the crease of his shirt sleeve. I had had my hands in my lap the whole time and so could guarantee I’d not touched him.
I asked if he’d noticed our knee’s clashing. However, he said had been deliberately keeping his legs away from mine to avoid any chance of self deception.

So now, I had felt my left knee being pressed on the side, my right foot ‘tapped’ and David had felt someone ‘tug’ at his shirt sleeve.
The other Dave on the opposite side of the room had had the rubber ring placed between his feet –after having felt it touch his toes on both feet consecutively.

OK, so not objective physical proof in that we have defined this as being something that 2 or more witnesses experience simultaneously. But definitely worth capturing for the record as (if this was indeed genuine -as I believe it to be) this could be the start of a new level of activity and physical evidence.

The circle was drawn to a close and Brian’s chair was found sitting in the room outside the cabinet minus Brian who was cross legged on the floor inside. The ring was between Dave’s feet, the sweater at David’s feet and the rattles beneath Sandy’s chair.
Our guest was given the cable ties for examination at his leisure after being given the opportunity to examine everything in the cabinet just to confirm that there was no room for anything untoward to have been going on. He also confirmed that the belt was knotted just the way he had left it an hour and half before.

Thanks again to Brian for enabling spirit to come through and to the Chief and his team on the other side for all their work.

Next update following next Tuesday’s circle.
