Ep.283 Shadow Man / The Lift Home
Nat recalls a shadow man standing over her daughter, while Jo shares a strange lift home and a vision that uncovered a family secret after 55 years.
The encounter
Nat joins us from Lancashire to recount waking in the night when her daughter was having a nightmare. In the room, Nat witnessed a shadow man standing over her distressed child.
Our second guest is Jo from Portsmouth. She describes being offered a lift by two strangers during the mid-1980s, although she later realised that she was not a stranger to them. Jo also experienced a vivid vision that appeared like a colour photograph held in front of her face for five minutes. It led to the discovery of a family secret and contact with her biological family after 55 years.
