Jon, the medium, was seated unrestrained within the cabinet throughout the seance. Two songs were played initially, with the cabinet closed and blackout set. The red light was then turned on and the curtains opened so that transfiguration phenomena could become witnessed.
From the outset the transfiguration presentation was clear to all. Rachael, who hadn't sat with Jon before was able to see the energy around the face and within the cabinet area, as well as seeing the faces themselves as they became changed in size, shape and form.
After the silent transfiguration demonstration Billy came forward to chat with sitters. Unusually during this time Billy's face could be seen along with his voice being heard. The two elements together have not been stable previously. It seemed that the energy could either be for one thing or the other, but tonight we received both at the same time. Clearly developmental progress has been made. Billy's humour was evident as he joked with the sitters, and his presence was and much enjoyed by all:

Rachael asked Billy what we look like to him:

Chris offered feedback to the spirit team:

Buffalo, a rarely seen visitor (although he is present at every seance) came forward to speak with us about healing. His face too remained stable whilst his voice was heard:

As Buffalo withdrew a sudden brief visit from two welcome spirit guests brought smiles to sitters.
Charlie came forward next.
This recording is exceptionally interesting from Chris's point of view. She was excited by the obvious leap in the medium-spirit teams development. Part way through the recording a rush of air/energy can be heard...at the same time (we afterwards learned) the medium felt an icy cold 'figure' approaching him from behind and sliding into him...then virtually sitting within himself.
The voice heard after this energy-rush came in response to a remark made by Rachael about her father:

Finally Paulie came through to close the evening on a lighter note:

A fantastic seance. As always, lots of really good fun was shared.
Feedback from the medium regarding his cabinet experience tonight:
My experience of last night’s séance was different to the usual sitting. Arriving at Christine’s I felt the energy building rapidly in the lounge whilst the sitters gathered and chatted prior to going into the Lodge.
At one point I was sure I saw a spirit person standing in the hallway when I walked through to the bathroom but put it down to a trick of the light and shadows. Was a surprise at the time though.
In seance I heard Rachael (guest sitter) ask about something and the next thing I knew was that I could hear a long ‘exhale’ sound and then in breath. At the same time I felt goose bumps and chills across the front of my body as if someone was sitting on my lap but rather than having just sat down on top of me, they had somehow come from behind me and has sat ‘into’ rather than onto me.
My consciousness came both forward and at the same time I felt as though I was being pulled “away” (rather than “back”). The words were really faint and I could hardly hear them at all.
