As a medium, I am deeply fascinated by the various ways we can communicate with those who have passed. Some, like clairvoyance, are common forms of communication that many people can practice regularly. However, when you’re actually giving a message, you’re entering a certain state of mind and relaying what you sense. Sometimes, it’s easy—you can clearly feel the presence of the person who has passed, and the information flows naturally. Other times, when someone comes to you for a reading, you may have no idea what will come until they sit down in front of you. In these instances, you can only pass on what comes into your mind at that moment. It can be frustrating because you want to provide more precise details, but you can only share what’s being communicated to you at the time.

One of the most intriguing forms of communication I’ve encountered is when I’m called to remove a ghost from a building. We are often told that after we pass from this world, communication is done through thought processes, as we no longer have physical bodies or lungs to speak as we do here. It’s clear that, after passing, we can sense everything about those around us—who they are, how they feel, and what they are thinking. There’s no judgment in this; rather, it’s simply that who you are is completely visible to others. Your true self, with all its strengths and flaws, is evident. This understanding is crucial because it affects the way we connect with those who haven’t yet moved on.

In my experience, when removing a ghost from a house, something extraordinary often happens. First, it’s important to understand what a ghost actually is. After death, we don’t immediately transition to the next world; we still have the gift of free will. Many souls remain on the earthly plane, sometimes through confusion or lack of understanding, choosing not to move on. These souls are not always what we think of as ghosts. Ghosts, in my experience, are often individuals—children or adults—who are slightly confused and choose to remain in places where they feel comfortable, like their old homes. Imagine dying but choosing to stay in a familiar place. It would be strange to exist there for years, watching hundreds of people come and go without anyone acknowledging your presence. Over time, you might begin to ignore the living entirely.

When I’m asked to remove a ghost, I don’t always need to visit the house. Often, just seeing a photo of the house allows me to sense its energy and quickly connect with the spirit. What amazes me every time is how immediately the ghost senses me in return. Because they aren’t used to being noticed, they become aware of me almost instantly. Once this connection is made, they also recognize who I am and that I’m there to help. At that point, using my free will, I invite their loved ones from the other side to draw close. Their loved ones always respond, coming to speak with the spirit in the house, and then, using its own free will, the spirit leaves and does not return. The energy of the house shifts, and the people who live there feel at peace, as whatever they were sensing before has now gone.

What we all need to do is open our minds more to the possibility that our loved ones are trying to contact us. Consider it from their perspective: they may have been waiting 10, 20, or even 30 years to pass a message to you or a family member. Unfortunately, we often go through life with closed minds, unaware of these attempts. Imagine the joy they feel when they finally get a message through, whether it’s as simple as “I love you.” The message may be small, but it’s profound, especially if they can prove who they are and bring that comfort to their loved ones.

Drawing your loved ones close to you is simple. Think of them, hold a picture, or just imagine talking to them. On the other side, they are spiritual beings, and the moment you think of them, you bring them closer. That single thought or act of remembrance can make their day.
