The Lady and The Boy

As we went down the basement stairs, my partner felt that there was some energy in the laundry room directly in front of us.  As we went through the main room doorway and into the small dining area, I got a chill and was covered in goosebumps.  It was a central point in the room where you could see into the living room, kitchen, eating area and hallway all at once.  We both felt that this was a spot where the homeowners daughter and her two small boys were being watched from.  Behind the small dining table was a small half cupboard, I asked my partner what she felt as I already had my own impression.  She said that there were a pair of eyes peering out!  I felt the same, that a little spirit boy hides in the open closet behind the clothes.  As we went down the hallway, I stopped in front of the daughter's bedroom and felt that a woman would stop in the doorway, often.  As we went into the boys room, we felt quite a bit of energy and activity.  I saw a tiny orb out of the corner of my eye whip past us.  As we exited the room, my partner saw a colourful orb streak past the window in the sitting area down the hall.  We walked back up the hallway again into the central spot.  We both felt very strongly with it.  As my partner looked into the living room area, she discovered a man standing beside the fireplace.  She described him as wearing casual pants with a shirt and belt.  From this era, possibly someone who had lived in the house prior.  We felt that he wasn't a ghost, but a spirit that likes to visit.  My partner and I sat in the chairs in the living room and meditated on the space.  We told the spirits that we were there to help them, and to please step forward if they wished our assistance.  After a few moments, a small boy appeared behind me.  He was about 5-6 years old, dark wavy hair.  As he was standing, I noticed that he was holding a blanket or soft toy, and that he was sucking his thumb.  Just as I observed this, the woman raced down the hallway to stand behind him.  I stated to my partner that I had the boy, then the woman, and that they were moving behind me to come into the living area to stand between us.  She said "I've got them".  From this point on, the experience was just amazing.  As one of us would start to describe something, the other would finish and confirm what the other was already seeing.  As my partner picked up on the boy, she asked him his name.  She got "Adam" and I got "Alex".  Very similar.  My partner then said, "he's holding a blanket and oh, he's sucking his thumb"!  Knowing that we were in sync and on track, we focused on the woman.  I noted that she had on a long dress, ivory, not white, with puffs at the top of the sleeves, tight down the arms to the wrists.  She was tall, the collar of her dress was high.  As I was describing this, my partner verified what she was wearing, and before I could say anything else, stated that she wore her hair up, not in a bun, but a loosely styled updo.  Exactly as I had seen it.

We asked her why she was here, she said that everyone had left.  She was afraid.  We asked her who the boy was, my partner got "family" and I got "nephew".  I was then shown a large two storey house, made of stone and wood.  As I focused on the house, telling my partner about it, I was shown a kitchen.  Just as I received that information, my partner was shown "fire".  We believe there was a fire, that everyone got out but the woman and boy were upstairs and couldn't get out.  They died in the fire.  My partner then asked the woman to look around her and find the light.  I saw that the little boy found it right away and was pointing at it to show her.  As I looked in the direction he was pointing, a man stepped out of the light.  As soon as I said this to my partner, she started describing him along with me, tall husky man, very handsome, riding boots, britches, top coat, vest with buttons.  We both saw the little boy running to him, saying "Daddy!"  We both saw him pick up the little boy...he waited for the woman to walk to him, then the three of them moved forward to the light.  As they were going, the woman turned over her shoulder, waved, and said "thank you".

My partner and I spoke with the homeowner and her daughter.  I was describing what the woman looked like and that the "dress" the lady had on reminded me of a wedding dress.  The daughter looked shocked as this is exactly what she had seen, and described a very similar style. I asked her what her hair looked like, and she said it was up, not like a bun, but an old fashioned style that was loose.  I also stated that the dress wasn't white, but an ivory colour.  Again, she was shocked and confirmed that it had been her experience too.  The daughter then went on to tell us that the woman sometimes spoke to her youngest son.  She would say to her son "help...water".  This really tied in with the impression we had of a house fire.  All in all, great validation.
