Episode 173: Séances, Ectoplasm & Materializations!

you digest it. Thank you. Shades of the Afterlife has now become the most downloaded afterlife podcast in the world, and you know, if you've been listening for quite some time. I have a sincere passion to share the best evidence so that you believe that your loved ones live on, that you will see them again, and that your life matters. A couple days ago, on our Free Sunday gathering, I was introducing the portion of the service and the mediums, and I heard myself saying that mediums are out on

the skinny branches. They are trusting the information that is coming into their being, into their thoughts and memories and even sometimes tastes and smells, that they trust that they are coming from the spirit world to deliver a message to someone in the audience. Going through a bit of medium training myself, it is scary. Things that come to mind seem like our imagination, but with that courage to verbalize, very often the recipient says, I can understand that information.

It's not an easy job being a medium, and it dawned on me that I am my own form of medium. Delivering this information to you, giving you the latest research is my contribution to humanity. If you're new on this show, or maybe you haven't heard this story of mine. Back in two thousand and two, I took a transformational course called Power and Contribution, and the idea is, if you give your life to something big, then the problems in your life become small and you have the capability of

doing something extraordinary. Some people picked ending homelessness, some people picked ending world hunger. And you can kind of get it right. When you give yourself to something so big and you start volunteering and making a difference, then yeah, helping other people really reduces our own suffering. We all

had to make a bold declaration. And at that time I was just beginning to get evidence of the afterlife, and these declarations had to be something you were passionate about, of course, And so I made the bold declaration back in two thousand and two and I said, by the year twenty twenty seven, all people will know we are divine souls having a human experience, and that we don't die. Those words came out of my mouth, they went in

my notebook. And although I enjoyed the course, I never really had the intention of making that dream a reality. But somehow it happened. Somehow I met like minded people. My dad and my grandmother passed, and I learned about grief and knew the information I had could change lives as miracles happen, I meet a publisher, pitch my story. My book We Don't Die was born. In twenty fourteen, I started my first podcast, We Don't Die Radio, that

still exists today, just interviewing people one on one. And I started that podcast in all honesty because I didn't want to invest the time and money in buying people's books to learn more about the afterlife. So I figured if I could interview people share their information, it would be a win win situation for everyone. Little did I know many years later, I'd get call from Tom dan Heiser wondering if I could be the host of Shades of the Afterlife for their new iHeartRadio and Coast to

Coast AM Paranormal podcast network. And who can say no to them? Author Richard Bach has a great quote, you are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however, that's one of my favorite quotes. And now twenty two years later, I realize I am this woman with this bold declaration. I feel you are my partner in this no doubt, because you're listening and looking for evidence yourself. But more than that, you're sharing

this show. When enough people share, the ripple effect can happen. So you want to help me on this journey. It's twenty twenty four and I have only three years left accomplish that promise that all people know that we don't die. I honestly do feel sometimes among the scary branches. If you're a first time listener, you may think, who is this girl? She's crazy with some of the concepts in

afterlife information. I share with you another quote I absolutely love is by German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, and he said, all truth passes through three stages. First it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self evident. And when you think about big things that have changed the course of history, even the airplane, you know those right brothers, They were ridiculed. People thought it was impossible for a human to fly through the air.

And when Schopenhauer says, it is accepted as being self evident. Here we are in twenty twenty four, or in airplane travel is regular. I know in my heart of hearts that the belief of the afterlife is going through the same process. Believe it or not. More people on planet Earth believe in the afterlife than don't, but so many, including myself, have been scared to share our beliefs based on what will other people think of us? Will we lose our friends if they think I believe in this.

Although there are TV shows, podcasts, books about the afterlife, a lot of people are still in that stage thinking of ridicule, thinking near death experiences must just be when the brain is shutting down. There is no proof of

the afterlife, But oh, my friend, there is. I'm pretty confident that I got this mission, or chose this mission to share the evidence of the afterlife because I never believed in this myself, so coming from a scat it helps to get the new information from science and medicine about the reality of the afterlife. And the day is

coming sooner than later. And yes, I believe in our lifetime where that ripple effect will happen, where people, as Schopenhauer says, will accept the reality of the afterlife as

self evident like it's always been. That we know our loved ones are around, that we can communicate with them, it will most certainly ease our grieving process, and most importantly, think of the life when we know we can never die, we can go after our dreams, we can fail, we can pick ourselves up, and we know it's all education for the soul. My genuine wish is that you feel and know the presence of your loved ones around you, that you witness the miraculous experiences that no one can

take away from you. You can probably tell that I'm interviewing less and less mediums these days. While having a good evidential medium reading can be quite beneficial, there are far too many mediums that charge too much money and they're not very good for me. Good evidence through mediumship is taking your own class and realizing as a powerful soul having a human experience. You can deliver messages to

a person from their loved one. When you have that aha experience and you're giving information that you couldn't possibly know, that's a way to know the afterlife is real. We've talked a lot lately about dream visitations and also automatic writing. These are experiences you have that you feel, maybe even see and hear your loved one to them, getting a response even though it came from your own handwriting that

you're sure came from your loved one. What a difference that makes today on the show, I'd like to get back to one of my favorite topics, which is physical mediumship and the home circle. This is the most rare form of spirit communication. Does it still exist today, Yes, but mainly behind closed doors. So I want to tell you some stories and perhaps get you interested in either starting a home circle or starting to sit for yourself on behalf of the spirit world and let them work

with you to develop your soul as a receiver. For me, this is the topic that scares me the most to share about because it seems so unbelievable and current day there are frauds out there doing so ridiculous things trying to convince people that they are real physical mediums. To get some more of the history, I invite you to go back to some past episodes Episode seventeen, Seances and Ghostbusters episode fifty six, The Skull Experiments Episode fifty eight.

A physicist shares his experiences Episode eighty three. Our good friend Scott Milligan shares his beginning and his path into his twenty five years of service for the spirit world. Episode one three to two. The Home Circle with legendary medium Stuart Alexander. Episode one three six, The Great Arthur Finley episode one five nine, What Happens in the Seance Room and you can actually listen to a real seance, and most recently episode one six seven Living Proof of

Life after Death. You can easily go to Shades of the app Afterlife dot com and scroll down and find all of those episodes. I have a special set of audios that was compiled by Stuart Alexander back in the nineties of spiritualists telling their stories of what happened in these seances and home circles. If you'd like the complete set, just go to the Scott Billigan page at We Don't Die dot com. You'll actually be able to hear people's voices telling their own stories. I've transcribed one of the

stories that i'll read to you today. We'll hear from physical medium Scott Milligan. And there's been lots of questions coming up on the state of the world today, of course, fear and worry, and I want you to hear what the spirit world has to say about it. Let's go to the break and we'll be back. You're listening to Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio and cost to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.

American Air Force during the Second World War. He came from a family of spiritualists. The medium he simply refers to as Chris. At this seance, my sister and I were called to the center of the floor where my mother materialized. We got to hold her hands. She even kissed us on the cheek. She put her arms over our shoulders, and then she stepped back a foot or two and said, let me see. I think we have enough strength here, and she cleared the veiling away from

her face. She said, can you see me? And we looked directly into her face while she was talking, animated, not like a statue, and it was the perfect face of our mother as we last knew her. There were also a few times that they tried to bring my mother and my father out together, but they just could not emerge from the cabinet. There wasn't enough energy. There were other times that we had excellent, fully materialized forms. One was an American Indian who would have been from

the Western Plains. According to his style of dress, you could see the color of his flesh. It was the bronzy type brown. You could see the beaded band around his head with a few feathers from the crown of his head, the braid of hair coming down over his chest, and wearing a loincloth. It was the most beautiful sight to see. It was in full color and there was

no mistaking it. At another seance, an Egyptian materialized. We could see his beard, his hair, a type of head dress, it had jewelry on it, and he was wearing a long cloak. It was a most beautiful experience. Now, absolutely, full color materializations aren't that frequent. It depends entirely on the type of vibration that's in the room at the time, and it depends on the physical condition of the medium, depends on the weather, they say. But when we do

get to see them, it's really great. There was one day in particular, I had a few friends with me and my sister and we were with Chris. This took place in the basement of our church in Dayton, Ohio. As I recall, there were just five or six beautiful visits from materialized forms of our folks, our loved ones. And then the man who usually opens and closes his seance is the name of doctor Randolph. He materialized and said he wanted to show us what they can do.

He held his arms out stretched in front of him as wide as he could stretch them apart, and with no motion of any kind. You could start seeing the emanation from both hands as if he were holding a white sheet of cloth, and it just gradually kept building and building until it was clear down to the floor. It was a huge sheet. He then said, this is a sheet of ectoplasm, and then he took it in his hands and waved it around like a flat and as he held it, he said, now I want you

to watch, and then it just disappeared. With a blink of an eye, it was gone. We all watched as he made the sheet appear again in the same manner. Now he did not go back to the cabinet or anything. He never left that particular position on the floor. Things must have been top condition in the room, and with our energy that day because of the different things he did for us, and the red light that was on was bright enough that everything was visible to everyone in

the room. It was amazing. I know, the amount of light is very important and it depends on the conditions at the time. One young man and I were sitting next to each other and Doctor Randolph said, Jean, do you see the trumpet across the room there. I said yes. He said, would you please go over and get the trumpet? Bring it back and set it between your legs, which I did. Doctor Randolph said, I'm going to go back

into the cabinet and I'll return in a moment. So we sat there and just chit chatted between ourselves when suddenly, out of the trumpet between us. Was quite a shock as it happened, a whole sheet, like a bed sheet, went swoosh and came out of the trumpet. It just floated up and out into the room. I know this sounds like a fairy tale, but it was not. My sister was there, and others. We couldn't have all been hallucinating now. That same day, Chris's mother, who was in spirit,

materialized and made herself known. It was the first time we'd ever met her. She stood out and talked to us for a little while, talked about things in the spirit life, talked about her son Chris, and she says, now we're going to show you something that you may not understand. She asked me, Jeane, would you come up here on the floor with me. I said, certainly. I went up to her. She said, don't be bashful, take your hand and push it into my mid section here.

Feel how solid I am, which I did, and yes, she was very solid. I said, I feel you. I'm aware that you're solid. She said she had the ectoplasm draped over her, and then she wished to show me her astro body and said she had to lower her vibration. She said, will you come forward again now that I have changed to my etheric body. To me, she didn't appear different at all. She still moved. We could see her and she was talking. She says, now I am

in my etheric body. Would you touch me again in the same way, which I did, and my hand went into the center of nothing. My hand and arm swept clear back and forth through her. Even though it appeared to be solid, there was absolutely nothing to touch. I said, well, that's quite a lesson. The etheric body was just as visible, yet there was nothing there. It just appeared as smoke. And I have to say this again. This may sound like a fairy tale, and I've never experienced anything like

that before, and maybe I never will again. But it happened. There were many other times when our loved ones would come out and greet us, talk with us, and spend some time with us. Then they'd say, well it's time to go now. I can't stay any longer. Some would say, would you like to see us disappear? And of course our answer usually was not really, but sure if you'd like to. And at different times we'd be staying face

to face with them, twelve or fifteen inches away. I'd been holding their hands, talking with them, and then it's like you turn a light bulb off. They are with you all of a sudden, standing looking straight at them, and then the next blink of an eye, there's nothing there. They did not go back into the cabinet, like I said, just like you turn out the light, they were gone. There is life after this life, and that this life has a lot of abilities, it still has knowledge, it

still has mind. They aren't foolish demonstrations. They're done with love. All I can say is, let's hope that this can continue going on someplace for somebody, and it can be made more public.

the cabinet, and stretched some fabric over it. He said, they hung up a light somewhere that it wasn't too far away from the cabinet, maybe ten or twelve feet. And he continues, and we went through the process of every one of his seances. We started saying the Lord's Prayer, and then the favorite song we sang is You are

My Sunshine. And lo and behold a being stepped out from the center of the curtain, stretched his arms out wide to the side, almost like wings, and then he proceeded to grow and grow and grow in height, and with I'm sure you could image the gasps and the ooze and the oz taking place. He was at least as high as our ceiling in the church, which had to be twelve to fifteen feet, and the arm span was completely from wall to wall, a huge spirit figure.

And then slowly and gradually the whole thing just brought itself back down until it was roughly six feet tall or so. And then he spoke to us, and it turned out to be the master Teacher, a very eloquent speaker and beautiful soul. He talked to us and opened up the seance, and from then on it was one constant array, one materialized figure after another coming out and singing. They danced up and down the aisle, danced among us, and touched us and greeted us. This went on for

the better part of an hour. One of the most amazing was one young lady materialized. She was the sister of a man there, and he was sitting at the end of the aisle. This was at least fifteen to twenty feet away from the cabinet. She came up to her brother, sat on his lap and talked to him, and afterwards he mentioned, there's no doubt in my mind who that was. My goodness, could you even imagine that

happening to you? And witnessing that the things I've witnessed were in the dark with a little bit of glow in the dark lighting still impressive. Scott Milligan is the expert on physical mediumship.

twenty and sixteen. I've attended maybe two dozen of these events with Scott, and for the past four years he's taught classes online, done a trance demonstration almost every Friday, and I'm so grateful that he's starting to do these seances once again. Here's his response when I asked him about the physical materializations he's witnessed.

doing this trying to get my work my way. From that, there was another time when the red light was put on and the curtains parted, and a baby's head appeared and came out of the cabinet and looked around the

room and then just collapsed and went back him. There was a time in Australia or when I was sitting with another medium and their hands were tied, and the front of the cabinet was brought up in light and you're able to see the medium's hands, and then his hand appeared from above the curtain and under the curtains, so we were able to see four hands, two be in the medium and two be in the spirit people.

There was another time when a control called White Sawing Bird was preparing to come through, and a gentleman called Williams said, would you like to see White sawn Bird's headdress? And of course we did not hesitate, We said yes, do it please, And all of a sudden, White Sawing Bird materialized in full headdress and brought his arms together, and as he brought his arms together, he went ah, and as he pulled it apart, he illuminated and you were able to see the headdress with red feathers with

brown tips, or brown feathers with red tips. My memory is a little bit vague on that moment because I think it was like, oh, my goodness, I'm seeing this. And when the salance was over my top, what I used to wear was a brown top, and my brown top had bleach marks through it, along with a hole directly over the nipple area. And there was a lady who had a red jump on and that also had

holes all the way through it and bleached. I was mortified because I had to catch the train from Crawley back to Burgess Hill with this moment going on, and I was quite upset. And I attended the same medium sales again later and I said, William, salences are supposed to be constructive, not destructive. When nou Last sat, my top was destroyed.

I remember seeing the face illuminated on the board. So we have a luminous plaque about so big, maybe a four paper or glows in the dark, and the spirit people place their hands over it, any different forms of hands, and then I said, if you can do the hand, you can do the feet. So the feet were shown, and then being cheeky, I said, if you could do

the hand the feet, can you do the face. And the plaque lifted up and was placed underneath my chin, and the spirit person then stood opposite and placed their chin on the board. And I was this far away, and I was able to see complete detail of the face, but I noticed that they had a hood on, and as the moved, I was able to see their eyes,

which were black as midnight. And as the plaque went over the head, the hood went back, the eyes closed, the mouth closed, and then all of a sudden they opened, and I was able to see directly through the head at the black so there was no eyeballs, and there was no features within the mouth, but the mouth and the eyes were moving, eyelids closing, and I screamed. And

then it came back up. And as it came back up and went underneath the chin, the face collapsed inwards and then reformed as a woman with curly hair and darker skin. And it was a lady called Marie, and Marie's husband was sitting in the circle, by the name of Nick. Marie then turned to speak to her husband on them last night. Then not only did they talk, not only did they hark, not only did they kiss.

He was able to see his wife's face. And I don't expect you to believe anything I say, because it's my truth, my path. But I ask you this, when you yourself have seen something or heard a voice that you recognize, you move from believing to knowing, and nothing will shape your core about this, nothing under the sun.

physical mediumship. It's something that takes time and dedication. But you can have the perfect seed from the most amazing plant, but the soil is not good. It shouldn't grow or it will not grow to its potential. So we have mediums there, but we don't have the right people to

develop it. And if I said to someone now that you are going to be incarcerated within a home circle on a Pacific day and you are not allowed to go anywhere else, and you are to find your path to the spirit world, I don't think we will get the dedication because the distractions of life have changed. Back in its heyday, your entertainment or your social thing was to sit with your family around a roaring fire because it was the only warm room in the house, and

you would be singing, having conversations. Children will be dozing because it's warm. Then someone would feel the presence and then lo and behold it would take place. But even in France when they were looking at table phenomena, it became this in thing of sitting for the table and having the table move. And I think the spirit world said, we can do better. Everything has to start with an idea, and it's snowballs. We were hurtling towards mass exodus through

World War One. Then there was World War Two, still mass exodus, not only in the United Kingdom but all over the world. There was disease, and I think the spirit world said enough, and I think the spirit world said, we've got to intervene. So I think the spirit world saw the potential of war and then they started to accelerate development and people were called to serve. Liking COVID, let's just passed or still passing through us. The spirit

world called and said, we need healers. We need people to then work on their spirituality to make the world a better place. And during COVID, even though the storms and the fires were burning, nature was thriving. The rivers were becoming clean again, the sky was becoming blue, the trees were starting to grow stronger. Nature was nurturing. But then we were released and we've gone back into our own old ways. So I do think we can get it back if the spirit world needs it back. I

genuinely do believe that they do need it back. I think if we can convince people, or let me correct that, because I'm not here to prove it. I'm here to create a condition, and then the spirit world proves it. But if people can move from believing to knowing, I don't think there'll be war because they will have the

realization that life is sacred. Wouldn't it be lovely to go back to the Alec Harris days where Alec Harris used to demonstrate to the school but the kids, and then demonstrate for the adults in the evening, and the kids grew up knowing of this wonderful man that was able to materialize the dead. In our modern world, now we are having firefighters have meditation where they're teaching yoga in schools along with mindfulness. So I do believe the

fires are there. I think they needed to put a lot into it back then, so the fires catch and we're still having that warm glow Spiritualism because at the heart of it, we must call ourselves spiritualists. Spiritualism is a recognized religion. So I think the spirit world said enough of his falseness, now we must work. So yes, I do believe through the continuity of home circle. I do strongly believe that and know that it's the backbone of what we do.

There are several physical mediums out there who will gladly take your money. As Scott always says, look for the intelligence from the spirit world. Let's go to the break and we'll be back with Scott Milligan in trance in words from the spirit world. You're listening to Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.

click on the Scott Milligan page. This past week on the Friday demonstration, our friend Eric asked me to share these words about the state of the world. Eric is a real person. He's been working with Scott since Scott was just a teenager, and he speaks through Scott when Scott is in trance. So here are his important words.

more years than I care to share with you. It is a beast that has been man made. Every time you think negative faults, it feeds. So, my friends, your world to a bowl. And in this time, negativity knew its days are numbered. And like a cornered beast, it's snarled, it's kicked its bit, its thought back. This is why you have seen acceleration of darkness in your world. This is the final We have been prepared you for it, for we have seen within minds of those who have

made decisions in your world. That is why we knew a virus. This is why we knew of the war, because mankind was creating it and we were trying to slow it. Because your world must stop it. We have said if the war continued and unrest, your world will fight back. When the bombs will be dropped of recent we said, the world will react in a place where ice should exist. The skin of the earth has broken

and blood has poured up in lava. If the bombs continue to drop, you will continue to see the earth bleed. You will see this in Italy, you will see this in Japan. You will see this around your world. If the world enters this war, it will cause men and women to fall to their knees and will not be able to hold their weapons. They must bind together and help the earth throw its change. Cities have been annihilated. Families in your world have been displaced, if not destroyed.

You have seen young as well as more seasoned people being executed, which is against the natural law. But you have also seen people running towards the fires, putting themselves between the aggressor and those who are weak and weary. You have seen young mouths shout in the streets and say we do not support you. Have seen education. This is the change. Your devil box, the wireless. The rag only shows the negativity because that is what it is made for, to instill fear. But there's hope. The hope

is my thing. It's that you are aware of it. Like a storm. This will pass if I am to speak plainly to you, and I mean no offense to anyone. It is indeed sad and an ultimate insult to the creator for anyone to have their life taken by the means of negativity. It is equally an insult to have a life ended in negativity. It isn't natural law that you are born to your world to be born to ours, but it is the manner that you arrive that is the insult. For life to be snuffed out in an

unnatural way. That is the crime. But whoever comes to our world, they live, They exist in happiness that the former world is no more. So, my friends, be sad for those who are left behind a mon I speak of this. Now that was your shield. I give you the sword. Now you can fight. Fight the beasts of negativity. Send it love. Send love to the aggressor. Send love

to thee that chooses to do the atrocities. Appeas to their soul so that they have to be awakening moment of their actions because they are so numb to it. Make them feel love. It will weaken them. But this is why, my friends, many of you started to be woken by our call for We now know that this is the time for mankind to change. If you do not change, you will be false to change. The vibration

of the world then is different to now. This is why many children of your world are becoming more sensitive. You are becoming more sensitive, Your diet is becoming more sensitive. You view your life is different. The root of all situations is money. If money is worthless, what you have to fight over. Surely, if money is removed, you'll go back to bartering a slice of cheese for a loaf of bread. Back in olden days, we battered, there was community. I will shake your pillow if you were to mend

my sock. I have cooked the ghost and it's too much for my plate. Here take it. And then they bring you roses. Someone comes feeling sad and you give them a rose and make them smile, and they walk out of your residence lighter, and they sing in the street. And the person that passes by selling the matches, here's the sweet sound that lifts, says spirit. And one comes to buy a match and doesn't have the means, and from that happiness they give them the match affects everyone.

So from this moment, your thoughts that have gathered pace has caused a bomb within your world. You may think, my friend, we must ask of the spirit for help. We're already there. You're coming to join us. It would be very cruel of us to stay and waiting for you to say, because that is not in our nature.

Then that is why, not too long ago that these occasions we had asked, if we are to occupy you, let us occupy you for a reason, and that is to give he diden to sell and for each other you have created a light on the most darkest of moments.

hope you have enjoyed our time together. Please remember to come visit me every Sunday two o'clock New York time for our free Sunday gathering with medium demonstration included. I'm with Scott on all of the Monday classes, Friday demonstrations, and so much more. Please remember you are more powerful than you know. You are a divine soul, you are one of a kind, and you are dearly loved. I'm Sandra Champlain. Thank you so much for listening to Shades
