Speaking to the Dead Is My Favorite Thing to Do

WRITTEN BY: MICHELLE PELLIN

The three of us were asked to bring in photos of our loved ones, and then swap them. We had no idea that this would be the first time that we would experience mediumship, through psychometry, for the first time. We were told to take a couple of deep breaths, concentrate on the photo, and then write down anything that came into our heads, no matter how strange or silly it might be. What happened next blew all of our minds.

One of the women, who was a stranger to me at the time, had my grandmother’s photo and told me “Your grandmother loves the flowers you put at her grave, but wants you to stop crying for her ” What the hell? How did she know that I visited the cemetery every few months and did just that? It was not on social media, nor did anyone else know except my family. Then it was my turn. I started to read the list I had created with the photo of the man I received with no expectation that it would be relatable to anyone. After about the 15th word, I looked up, and saw that the woman who owned the photo was in tears. It was completely accurate! I had tapped into her father, who had passed the year before. I could even smell his “Old Spice” aftershave. I was hooked!

During the pandemic, Zoom exploded. World famous classes that were once only available in person were now able to enter your living room with the tap of a keyboard. Individuals who lived all over the world suddenly wanted to be your practice partners Gallery readings that were once only available in a spiritualist church were now free and online. The mediumship world was my oyster, and it felt great! This was something that not only challenged me, but tapping into the dead quite literally made me feel alive. My husband has even pointed out that when I do a reading, I have a “glow” about me that he cannot explain. And I made new friends!
