Cemetery Spirits

While writing one day a message was planted in my mind that I could not ignore. I stopped what I was doing to perform the task that was suggested. I cut the three daffodils growing in my yard, placed them in a plastic cup, added glass pebbles and water and started my car. My destination was the cemetery near my home. After parking the car I picked up the container of flowers and walked to the grave of a young woman who died of cancer several years earlier. I had a strong spiritual connection with the girl that I did not fully understand.

Kneeling at her grave, I placed the flowers on the headstone. I quietly asked, "Can you help?" Instantly two voices coming from the back of the cemetery repeated a variation of my question. The first was female and closely followed by a male, both asking, "Can you help me?"

I could clearly see that I was the only human in the cemetery. Startled, I quickly returned to the safety of my car. I tried to figure out who the voices were and what they wanted me to do for them. I finally realized they were spirits who wanted me to tell the humans they had left behind that communication with them was possible if one believes.

The spirit photographs I was taking began to make sense. They were a tool to give credibility to what I was being asked to do. The only question was would I comply with the request? I had come this far so I might as well go all the way. My answer was yes!
