Read the wonderful letters we have received at Psychic Wonders.
I have had some wonderful emails, some just saying how much they enjoyed the site or how useful it had been, so thanks to all of you that have been kind enough to comment, here are just a few of them...
Helen Sept 2001
My name is Helen, I lost my father very suddenly on the 16th of August 2001. This has completely shook the whole family.
But the reason for my message is that my mother was a regular visitor to her local spiritual church and sitting in the healing classes etc, she stopped going for the last 12 months as she moved to an area where it just was not easy to find these groups and she said she just felt 'blocked." Any way I had always been very skeptical about all of this and not really took much notice of the events that happened on these evenings. I decided to take it upon myself to go to a meeting with my mother who shall we say has lost a little faith at this sad time. We sat near the back and I was surprised at how relaxed I felt, anyway after some singing prayers and talking the medium came to my mother and told her about this man who she described as my father and told her things nobody could of guessed, well we just started crying, I was totally amazed and still am. The reason I found your web site was curiosity really, I just wanted to find out more about spiritual beings. I thought your web site was very informative and simple to understand for amateurs like myself.
Thanks,
Helen.

I found your website very interesting and meaningful. My son (aged 22) committed suicide 6 years ago. I have found it so hard over the years to find a reason for his death.
He came to me in a dream 3 days after his death and told me I had to let him go. I have had difficulty in accepting his death because it was done by his own hand. I know he is in gods care but this still doesn't help.
I have found some peace reading through your website.
Thank you very much.

Although an ocean apart, I was still able to prove a loving son survives in the world of spirit,...
Diana Logon. March `99 (USA)
l am not going to say that l never believed in life after death, because l have, l also knew that my faith in God could see me through anything. l have always felt that God has blessed certain people with certain gifts. All of the above l acknowledged from a safe and comfortable distance. On Oct 4th 1998 everything l knew and thought would be shaken to its very core. My 18 year old son Daniel was killed in a car accident; my world fell completely apart, l still had my faith, but l had my faith minus my beloved son and a giant hole in my heart and life.
looking through the web was one way l kept my mind busy and my sanity. l came across this website quite by accident, l have learned much and through correspondence with Russel have found out that the afterlife does in fact exist and perhaps this is why God has blessed certain people with special gifts.
Healing has come slowly, very slowly but in fact it is getting better. It is good to have faith, it is good to have friends, knowing that my Daniel is safe has made my burden easier to bear.
l encourage anyone with any questions to feel free to ask. This website has helped answer questions for me that before l only thought about in passing.
Thank you Russel for your kindness and compassion, l would be interested in hearing stories from others that have experienced similar circumstances or just have opinions to share.
Thank You,

If you follow what you are shown, answers will come to you...
Beverley States. July '99 (USA)
First, let me explain that I can't say I happened upon this website by chance. Our lives have been in turmoil since April 1998 when our youngest son (18 years old) was killed in a car accident. I don't even spend a lot of time on the internet, we had the internet hooked up for my son to help him with his schoolwork. Our middle son's girlfriend came to me with a message from her mother, whom seems to have some abilities, that our son could not be contacted very easily because he had moved on "to a higher".
I didn't understand what she was saying, or why she was even telling me. Two days later as I was awakening from what didn't seem like a very deep sleep, I was having a very "real" dream in which I was telling someone, "Just go to the internet and search under Spiritual Guides and then Guides." After getting to work, I decided to do what I was dreaming about. I searched "Spiritual Guides" and came to a subtopic of "Guides". The article was VERY interesting and at the bottom of the page was an invitation to address any questions that you may have. I e-mailed and asked the question of "going to the higher" and received a response from Russel, whom I've become very comfortable with and truly trust.
I've always believed (also from a distance) that there are certain people with gifts, but my next question to Russel was how to know when someone is real and not to let the ones that aren't play with emotions that are already very raw. Russel explained the process and that a truly gifted person would give real evidence, he encouraged me not to go to just one person, but that the evidence may come from different sources until you can truly accept in your heart that your loved one is still here and very much OK.
With my husband to the point of suicidal I have been on a quest to prove that our son is really OK. I always thought it had to be a face to face meeting with a medium, but Russel has definitely shown me, spirit WILL get through however. I sometimes feel sorry for Russel as I truly believe my son has chosen him to help us, and my son can be very persistent, but also loves riddles and games, so I know some of his messages will be very frustrating to figure out. Although Russel is in the UK, he HAS given me evidence, the majority of it I can place, some that I haven't been able to, our children or my husband have been able, and some information is just stored until it makes sense. Russel has given me hope that I haven't felt in a very long time and Psychic Wonders website has been the best source of information I have found.
Thank You Russel for your gifts to me and the wealth of information you share so lovingly with so many people. Please feel free to e-mail me if I can share my experiences. states@wic.net
Sincerely and Thank You Russel,

Train of thought
Here's a classic ghostly sighting account from Peter McKechnie who wrote to us;
When I was a teenager I had a girlfriend who lived 20 miles away at Park Gate. To get too and from there I used the train from Cosham to Swanick station. On this particular Sunday evening I arrived at 11:00 pm on Swanick station, it was unusual for anybody else to be there at this time, but a lady in her late 40's or early 50's was also waiting for the last train. She was about 5ft 4 inches tall, wearing a "camel" coat and had a very large shopping bag, which had a tartan pattern on.
I sat down to wait for the train (which were frequently late). After a few minutes the lady asked if there was a train as she "had to get back to Portsmouth". I told her that I was also waiting for the same train and that it should be along soon. Several times she asked the same question and reinforced that she "must get back to Portsmouth". When the train eventually did arrive, she remained seated but started to cry. I told her that this was the last train, but several times between sobs she said "I can't go back". I asked if I could help, and suggested that if she got on the train that perhaps we could talk about any problems she had. But again she repeated "I can't go back". Meanwhile the guard had got off of the train to point out that this was the last on that night and that if we were getting on we should hurry. Reluctantly I got on the train, and as it pulled out of the station I could see her sobbing.
On the journey home I felt guilty about leaving her, as she was obviously very upset about something. On arriving home at Cosham I telephoned the Police at Park Gate and briefly related the story and asked if perhaps somebody could visit the railway station and see if she was ok. I gave a description of her height, dress, and the bag she was carrying. I assumed that perhaps some domestic dispute was the cause of her distress.
On arriving home from work the next evening my mother drew my attention to an article in the local paper, "The Evening News". She knew that I caught the train from Swanick and this article was appealing to witnesses to an accident at that station. I immediately recognised the photograph included in the article as the lady from the previous evening, the description of her clothing, height, bag also matched. The article was appealing for witnesses to an accident where the lady had been killed whilst walking along the railway lines.... ON THE SATURDAY EVENING. I telephoned the newspaper and suggested that they had confused the dates, and that I had spoken to the lady, they checked and to my surprise confirmed that the accident had been on SATURDAY. I then telephoned the police who listened to my story, and indeed confirmed that I had reported the incident on Sunday evening, however were adamant that the incident had occurred on SATURDAY. In a subsequent article in the local paper I learned that the lady was called Maureen Hampton, she was a patient in a local mental hospital (Coldeast). She had been allowed out on the Saturday and had been to PORTSMOUTH. Returning in the evening, she had missed the station at Swanick and got off of the train at the next stop (Bursledon), not being familiar with the area she had decided to walk the short distance back to Swanick along the lines, and been struck by a train.
I caught the bus home rather than the train from then on. I am absolutely definite that the person I spoke to was the same as depicted in the newspaper photograph, and description. However the whole incident does defy an obvious rational explanation.

The wonders have always been there, we just need to start looking...
Pam B. July `99 (USA)
I lost my father very unexpectedly and like a lot of people, I was looking for proof of life everlasting. I have my faith and what I have been told and taught throughout my life, but I have always wondered about actually being able to contact someone with whom I was very, very close. My Dad and I had discussed this possibility on a number of occasions, so I thought I would give it a try.
My Dad just recently passed, so the messages Russel gets for me are just beginning - we are in the early stages, I believe, of really zeroing in on what my Dad has to tell me. In the course of our correspondences, I have come to see Russel as a real friend of mine. He is so knowledgeable and willing to share what he knows. I can ask him anything and he is only too happy to share his thoughts and ideas. I cannot tell you how much I look forward to his e-mails. He makes me think and discover things on my own.
I am really grateful to have found this site and to have found my new friend. At first I figured that I had just stumbled onto the site by accident, but now I am convinced that I ended up here for a reason - or, as my Dad liked to say - "accidentally on purpose." Thank you, Russel.

Proof comes in many forms, but only when you are ready to accept it...
Bill Holden. Nov '99
First, let me commend you on your reply. Few would have the self respect to respond to an admittedly critical message by not only explaining themselves, but also attempting to provide that which was sought by the critic. I was impressed.
Next, I should explain the conflicting tone and style of the two prior messages you received from this screen name. The first message you received was from a person that I had allowed to use my Internet access account. After a series of abuses and exploitation of my various acts of kindness I determined that it was necessary to detach myself from this person. Upon viewing the messages posted to this screen name I came upon your message.The second message you received was my response to your message. While I do seem to have misjudged your motive and intent I still hold a strong skepticism regarding your beliefs. For the misjudgment I offer my apology. As for the skepticism I offer the following reaction to your message.
The readings that I have witnessed have been, without exception, general and non specific. As a result the feelings expressed by those who claim a psychic gift could be applicable to virtually anyone. There have been some instances where the readings have yielded enough specificity to raise questions in my mind and stimulate my interest. These however have not succeeded in overcoming critical evaluation. The ability of some, involved in criminal investigation, to develop a psychological and sociological profile of a previously unknown suspect, by having a seemingly benign conversation with the person, has rivaled the best readings I have observed. Through reading the accent, slang, tone, and sophistication of a persons words they are able to determine with surprising accuracy the geographic area the person was raised in even in cases where the person has not lived there in many years. Through this same source the investigator is able to identify the cultural and social background of the individual and can draw some general conclusions about the person. Through a short conversation some investigators are able to accurately determine facts about the subjects family, friends, past relationships, personality, and a number of other characteristics and experiences that are relevant to the person, yet have not been stated by them.
I have concluded from my observations that those who believe that they posses a psychic gift have developed the same skills and abilities of these intuitive and observant investigators. I don't necessarily believe that those who profess to be psychics are attempting to defraud others. I can see how it is possible that one could have a natural ability for observing subtle details and through a variety of experiences come to associate certain circumstances and facts with seemingly unrelated truths. This would certainly tend to cause even the person who possesses these abilities to seek the reason for their ability to accurately predict unknown facts about others. Having postulated my theoretical rationalizations for that which I do not understand, I would now admit that when it comes down to making a firm declaration of the truth I must admit that I really don't know.
Turning to your reading I commend your ability. Your reading was amongst the most accurate I have observed. What makes your observations all the more impressive is the confusion that could have been created by the receipt of two different messages from two different people. I could go into the rational explanations for your accuracy but that would prove nothing and profit nothing. I still retain a skeptical view of psychic gifts and paranormal powers, but I felt compelled to tell you that that skepticism has been dented by your message. Again I say, I am impressed.
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
Respectfully,
Bill Holden

Dear Russel:
Thank you for your response. I have to say, I am cautious, not particularly by nature but because I have so much joy at the thought of people being blessed with gifts like these. I am in agreement that this is a gift from God, my family does not happen to agree with me but I know it is true deep inside. I did go and see John Edwards when he came to Portland. I want to preserve that wonderful sense of excitement that I felt when I watched him at work. What a true gift. If I had not seen it for myself I could never have appreciated what you guys/gals do.
Anyway, I think that for this reason, I want to make certain that I find someone near me who will not take advantage of the sense of wonder people such as myself feel and ruin that belief. I will never, ever feel the same again about death, dying and the hereafter. I work in the medical field in Cancer and after seeing John Edwards I went back to work not feeling so bleak about the dying. I know people wanted to put a mouth gag on me after I came back, but I was just so exited. Once I actually spoke about the experience (I did not make any contact, just being in the room was overwhelming and beautiful) people became almost as exited as I was. They all wanted to talk to me about their personal experiences and beliefs.
Well, I won't keep you, just want to say thank you for responding. I will take your advice and try to find a church closest to me. I am near Vancouver Washington and I know there has to be something around here somewhere.
Take Care,

Hands on experience !..
Gwen. Jan 2000
My name is Gwen and I belong to a group that meets once a week for meditations. We are trying new things in order to grow in our understandings. This week we will be trying and learning Psychometry.
I just wanted to thank you for being the only website that offered more than just a reading. It is my task to research Psychometry, and to tell you the truth, I didn't even know what it really was. I found the answers to my questions here, and I'm very grateful.
Again, Thank You very much,
Gwen.

it is not the intention of this website to offer free readings, but rather to help educate people on how psychic gifts work and can be developed. For that reason, and the spiritual development of all, we invite your questions.e-mail: psychic.wonders2001@virgin.net
