In reply to seances. I am Elleises husband, I have had my share of visiting the table for seance many times in the past. This i rather long but Let me give you the details:
I was in the Marine Corps stationed near Camp Pendelton CA.
I came across a book store named Pheonix Phyre Book store which is now closed down. This was in the early 1980's. Ever since 1974 I have studied intensely every known religion and newage practice I could get my hands on. I have met my fair share of holy men, gurus, psychics as well as martial artist masters in the far east. Although all I have met were exciting to sit and learn from. There was one man whom I met at that bookstore that changed my beleif and relaxed my somewhat fear of death. His name was Kenneth Chappel of Encinitas CA. A Shaman by trade and a very powerful Clairvoyant. I was not sure what to make of a seance? I had never been officialy to one before and this man was going to give a class on mediumship and use 5 tables at once, 4 people to each table. Before the seance I went into the room to check it out. I helped in bringing in the tables and chairs that were to be used for the seance. I checked the room out very carefully for wires, etc. before the class began. I went outside to have a smoke and there was a tall man with piercing black eyes and a look of old aged deep wisdom. He began to speak to me just as if we knew each other for many a lifetime. I asked him if he was here for the table tippin I called it. He said yes, and I said I was going to make sure to sit next to this guy who is holding this class and see for myself if he is a fake. He chuckled and said good idea. When I got inside, the class in the room was starting. And guess who the man giving the class was? Yep, the same man out side talking to me. I was some what embarrased for what I said and after wards I apoligized but he didnt seem to mind at all. He commenced to introduce himself and explained the white light protection he placed around the book store. When the seance begain I sat next to him "Ken". Everyone at each table had their hands on the table and cleared there minds. At my table I was wondering about the next inspection we were going to have at the barracks and if I was ready for it when suddenly I felt a warm tingling in my hands going up my arms. Others in the room felt it too. Then the top of the table felt like it was vibrating as it started to rock back and forth. Bear in mind these tables weighed about 150 to 200 pounds a piece mounted on a middle pedestal with 3 small legs at bottom. The table would tip, 1 for no 2 for yes.
At one point the table litterally turned on its own so the feet could point to someone seated there for communication.
The most amazing part was when Ken Chappel told us of 2 main spirits always around him. One being a muscle man from a side show carnival of the 1920's who died in a wreck. This
spirit was able to make the table balance on one leg and drop the table 1 inch from the floor and place it back again
safely only with the aid of 3 of us and using 1 finger. Yes the seance predicted with 98 percent accuracy events while I was in service. And other events that have come to pass. I was so amazed at Ken's ability that I had the chance to learn more from this man later on until the end of my active service in 1984. I lost contact with him. But on the spiritual road everyone you meet is a teacher.
