Stupidly, years ago my mother and 2 or 3 sisters went to one, on one night, one of those board thing a me bob's.
At the time the Father was in hospital with a collapsed lung, someone asked the question, how was he doing = DEAD. So in panic mode they all dashed out of the house and down the road to a phone box. They phoned the hospital to enquire and the nurse said he was OK - phew was the thought, but this it would seem was based on an earlier check.
Anyway, it would seem that their phone call after they had hung up, had prompted the nurse to go and recheck him. And apparently his lungs had collapsed again and he was out to it, hence all stuff etc rushed onto the scene and resuscitated him. We only found this out the next morning.
Following is a bit of a Once Upon a Time -> But probably a key here which I think is a subject you touched on (?), Don't do things that can open doors for the naughty ones, including tea cup readings. lol
I think it was sometime after this event, there used to be an old lady, an aunty of one of the relies who used to be one of these tea cup readers and often on the money. Well,.........one time she looked into the Fathers cup and with a rather odd look on her face, immediately placed it upside down and pushed it back across the table, she wasn't going to comment?????? It's probably a coincidence, but a few years later the father was dead. He was coming home from work one night on a straight road and pulled off to the side of the road, lights on, for a pee and was standing beside the door. Along come a said drunk mate in a cattle truck and hit the rear RHS of the ute about 2 foot in from the edge. Swinging it around over the father and into a drain with the truck partially on the ute and father underneath in the water. The driver went through his windscreen and into a paddock and recovered himself and f... off down the road leaving the father, who was obviously dead. He knew it was the Father.
A couple come along in a car, and picked this drunk jerk up and immediately asked, what happened and was anyone else involved, and he said no, despite the fathers ute lights still being on. So they dropped him off at his farm and were not satisfied that no one else was involved, considering this guy had a strong alcohol smell, so they went back and found the Father. They rushed to the nearest house with some lights on, some K's down the road to use their phone for the police etc. It turns out it was the Fathers brothers place (Uncle), who knew immediately it was his brother when they told him a red ute was involved.
The guy involved when getting to his farm, jumped in his ute and went to his girlfriends place, which no one knew where that was = police. He turns up the next morning at around 10 am, looking for his truck and another Uncle spotted him and gave him a mouthful and told him he better get to the police station. The stupid police back then, took no blood tests, despite the people telling the police in their statement, of the alcohol smell. He only got 6 mths suspension and $200.00 fine = cheap life.
Father was 54 and me 18. ------------ "séance"
LOL, one more bit of waffle. Mother in-law was a very strong Christian. My now wife was around 13 and went to her friends place and they were playing with one of these boards. As soon as my now wife walked in the front door of home, her mother looked at her and immediately asked her, have You been dabbling with one of those boards ? She seemed to know without doubt = HOW ?
