Greenways Farm, Kent

Date: 5th April 2008.

Time: Late afternoon and evening.

Weather conditions: Cold, rain at times becoming dry later.

Persons present: Nick Jones, Tracey Milliams, Karen Tucker, Carol Ody, Patrick McNamara, Karl, Janet Blair, Malcolm Dyer.

These notes were compiled on the night in longhand and checked and agreed by those present.

Thanks to Tracey and Nick for their usual hospitality comprised of the usual enormous spread of tasty food, unlimited hot drinks and a roaring log fire – all very welcome on a particularly cold early April evening with the weather forecasters predicting snow fall and low temperatures.

Farmhouse supper: Carol, Janet and Patrick discuss the evening.

5 – 5.30pm Kitchen and Living Room: Carol Ody and Patrick McNamara conversed and the subjects raised are summarised as follows:

Carol Ody’s mother seemed to contact Patrick. (Patrick) “I keep getting a ring – two rings” (Carol) “I am wearing two rings around my neck – they were my mother’s”.

(Patrick) “Someone here thinks that your stomach is going to be OK”. (Carol) “This is correct – I do have stomach problems.”

(Patrick) “ You have back problems”. (Carol) “This is also true. I had a broken back.”

(Patrick) “ Someone is telling me to tell you to put a scarf around your neck.” (Carol) “ This is true – I always wear a scarf – I do not go out without one.”

(Patrick) “ Have you lost another dog like Molly?” (Carol had her Jack russell terrier with her) (Carol) “Yes, true – I lost one last year.”

(Patrick) “Do you know anyone named Colin?” (Carol) “Yes, he was my nephew.”

(Patrick) “You have got to stop worrying about everything – this is from your mother.”

(Patrick) “ I see a man in a grey overcoat.” This meant nothing to Carol.

Later in the evening, Carol told the writer of an earlier conversation she had had with Patrick that I missed due to my having arrived late that evening, which went as follows:

“Patrick asked me, “Did I know anyone who had a chest X-ray recently?” My answer was “Yes, my sister.” Patrick then said, “Your mother says “Its all OK tell her.”

(Patrick) “ There is a large dog standing by your mum” (Carol) “This is Ricky – who was a guardian of our family. He used to actually take our children and all the local children to school.”

(Janet Blair to me) Apparently at about this time in the evening, she ‘got’ ‘Betty’. Patrick confirmed that a ‘Betty’ is associated with Greenways Farm.

Orbs take shape: examination of the right hand side will reveal a ‘column of orbs’ whilst others are superimposed on Patrick. Close inspection of the left hand side, will show another such ‘orb column’.

5.50pm Living Room: (Patrick) “Tell Nick about the horse. I have got a Shire horse with jingles and harness.” (Nick) “ I have just bid – unsuccessfully – for jingles and harness on Ebay.” (Patrick) “This is the chap who lived here and working Shires – or that type of horse only bigger – French horses. “

(Patrick) “ I have just been shown a watch as evidence.” (Nick) “I have been looking at a silver Rolex watch in the paper recently.”

At this point, I learned from Nick that he wanted to try a ‘test’ on Patrick by filling a box with a bundle of old keys and handing it to him for his observations. However, this was foiled by ‘spirit’ who seems to have actually ‘warned’ Patrick in advance. “Spirit warned me”. Nick had told no one of this plan.

Some time ago, Nick had found a bayonet in a metal and leather scabbard, which had been left in the house by a previous inhabitant. This appeared to the writer to be a WW1 pattern item designed to fit a Lee-Enfield 303 rifle, which was the standard infantry small arm during that conflict. (Patrick) “ This seems to date from the 1920s and is associated with a couple billeted here in WW2.” This would appear to be an error, if the item was issued in the 1914-18 conflict. However, the identification marks did not appear to be those of that period and could well post-date the Great War.

‘Orbs overhead’: The presence of mediums attract spiritual activity. This is the spot in the building where so many contacts were made by Patrick, that I simply could not keep up with it all whilst making notes.

Then Nick handed him an enormous iron horseshoe. Clutching this monster, Patrick said that, “ I have got a great big brown horse – not a Shire – bigger than that – with a white patch over one eye – very shaggy – like a French horse – dating from the early 1800s, probably the 1820s or 1830s. I have three horses – one is smaller – like a pony and in harness – attached to a small carriage like a Phaeton. I have two horses pulling a boat or barge.” Nick had found this item on the farm and confirmed the presence of a waterway locally.

6.05pm Living Room: (Patrick) “There is a woman named Margaret here. She dates from the time when people were billeted here. She is interrelated to the RAF Chap, (this character appears in my earlier notes for 29th March) and is associated with two daughters or like, who are with her. I have got the name Claremont or Carmody and there is a French Jesuit name Francis who is in the Kitchen and likes watching the computer.” This last text illustrated a hazard of recording these events, namely, that the medium receives information just as it arrives and not necessarily in any logical order. The French Jesuit would have predated Margaret by anything up to 350 years and yet he appears as if they are contemporary.

6.25pm Kitchen: (Patrick to Karen) “ I keep getting Rose she might be connected with your childhood.” Karen was nonplussed by this although on health issues Patrick was apparently very accurate. However, the nature of this material precludes it from further examination in this text.
6.50pm Kitchen: Patrick told Karen that he could ‘see’ her learning how to use a computer. He told her that she is likely to go into journalism and write for a magazine and TV journalism. “You will make money at it.” (Karen to me) “I will have a group of at least five people working with me.”

7pm Kitchen: (Patrick) “I have Francis – from the French Hugenot Period – showing me a well in a nearby field containing fresh drinking water.”
