A Snickering Spirit

In August 2012 I saw an article in the paper about Peck Cemetary, well known for the haunted tales told about it.
 
Peck Cemetery Group Reading by Medium Michelle Ollis.
 August 25th, 2012. 6pm to 9pm.
 A night of mystical beliefs with psychic Michelle Ollis.
 Michelle has donated all her proceeds back to the
 restoration project for the cemetery. Cost $20.
Must be 18 to enter.
 Bring a lawn chair, drinks, snacks, flashlight, and insect repellent.
 No alcohol, photographs, or recording allowed.
 Park along Donovan Road where hayrides will be offered to the cemetery.
 Proceeds benefit Peck Cemetery restoration

That is something that Vicky and I would be interested in. We had been there before on a midnight ghost hunt. (We didn't see a ghost) You have to sign up for these special events even to see this cemetery. If you are caught in there without permission you get a $1000 fine. It is a very guarded place because of all the damage that has taken place over the years. We were surprised to find a very peaceful, nice looking cemetery.
 
We rode the hayride down the long gravel drive to the gates of the cemetery. As we paid our money to enter there was a lady watching everyone come in. Later she introduced herself as Michelle, the medium. She told the 40 or more people there she hoped to give each of us a brief reading that night.
 
We started off with a walk around the cemetery where they told us about things that had happened there and about all the work they were doing to put everything back into place and to clean it up. The medium said this was an active cemetery and there were several spirits watching us. But they were keeping their distance.
 
As it grew dark we went back to our circle of chairs and Michelle started speaking to those in the crowd. One young man had several guardians around him. Another lady had a little girl with long dark hair next to her. One after another she talked to people and it was nearing the end of the time for this event. It was interesting to hear the comments to others but I had payed my $20 and I wanted to know what she would tell me.
 
Finally she came toward us. Looking at me she said
 
You have an elderly man next to you
He is a relative.
Passed not that long ago
He is standing next to you....
snickering
(I can see my dad snickering)
that you are even here.
He is like....What are you doing here??
In his life he needed help...
He needed a LOT of help...
I mean he needed help with EVERYTHING.
(We had a lift in the house to even move him)
Even though it was hard for him
 he accepted help with a joking attitude.
You and him have a very strong connection
that has been there from the beginning.
And the cord that connects you to him brings you
together in the next life.
( for me that is heaven....
 he told everyone he would meet us at the gate)

And that was the end of the reading for me.
I thought it was correct.
I didnt really know if she would get my dad around
me because I know where he is.
 
But...
 I do think....
 that sometimes.....
 he comes to check on us....
And I guess....
he still snickers.
 

A Very  Special addition to this story

After my cousin Jeff read this story he contacted me.
Jeff’s Aunt Edith had passed away. One day Jeff was riding with his friend, who is a medium. His friend started talking about Aunt Edith. He described the church where her services were held. He talked about special things the family had done after her passing. Jeff knew he was right.
And then…
He started describing someone who was with her.
He was in a military uniform.
They were not related to each other but they were both related to Jeff.
There were other things said about the military man that Jeff couldn't recall now, but Jeff knew at once who it was.
The medium told him Aunt Edith said that he was helping her find her way.
Jeff knew it was his Uncle Marvin. 
 
Jeff said “Uncle Marvin was always fond of Uncle Ronald, Edith’s husband, and I am sure Uncle Marvin was there for Aunt Edith when she arrived. It was a great feeling to know that he is in heaven doing what he has always done best…making sure the people he cares about are taken care of. He will always be with us.”
