I went to keighley's Spiritualist Church to attend an Open Circle. This is where the head Medium gives messages to the people from the dead and where trainee Mediums can speak up if they feel brave enough to try out their skills. 
I sat feeling quietly awkward in a square of chairs all facing inwards about the size of a boxing ring. Proceedings were started like they had been fifteen years previously when I'd been before, with a hymn sang to no music whatsoever. With no music comes no correct key or rhythm. I cringed as 60 people muttered their way to something that seemed a wall of noise of various keys. Like a deaf choir all being told to start 'Now'.
how hard would it be to create the simplest of guide music? A drum beat and a piano just repeating. 
With that out of the way, the Medium started. 
"On the way here today I got a 'Winnie' coming through"
Three couples signalled that they were possibly the intended receiver of the message. 
Then it seemed to become 'Winifred', 'Winnie' or 'Fred'. 
Grasping at straws was my first thought. 
I followed the spirits messages, "they are telling about Jewellery, does that mean anything to you?"
I guessed it would mean 'something' to either female present or female spirit. 
The final message was "they say that you're prayers are being answered" 
I would be disappointed with that. 
Other people were brave in trying out their hand at it too. One lady with glasses seemed to give everything correctly. I wanted to speak to her but she slipped away. At the end of the event I hung around and collared a nice old lady clearing the hymn books away. I explained that I was looking for a medium to join our investigations to add something extra to the readings caught on our scientific equipment. 
What I thought would be fruitless was not. 
The head Medium sat me down excitedly and seemed overjoyed at the prospect of visiting different locations. So we swapped numbers and we shall see what comes of that. 
I take what Mediums say with a small pinch of salt but they do make sitting in a dark room a bit more interesting. At least we have a Medium and if I need to upgrade her then I will. It's only fair to work with her first, after all she was the top one at that church.

I drove away excited and I headed to the cinema to find only three films left to run. I had seen 'Paul' already and the other was Bollywood. So I saw 'No Strings Attatched' which was ok to watch once and it was for free on my cinema pass anyway. 
Midnight to bed and still buzzing.
