Lillyanne, 55, from Leeds Sitting in my garden with my feet up and a cup of tea in my hand, I slowly became aware of a strange noise. A sort of low-grade humming, almost above the range of my hearing. ‘That’s odd,’ I murmured. Were my ears playing up? I shook my head. The noise was still there. That’s when I realised what was causing it. Aliens. I’ve been in communication with the ‘Star People’ since I was a little girl. Seven foot tall and extremely beautiful, with bright blue eyes, they’ve visited me since childhood, but mainly communicate with me telepathically. It sounds like they’re talking to me over a long-range radio. I hear their voices in my head with a message for me. And they’ve given me a…

We had been planning to go on holiday with our grownup kids last summer, but of course that didn’t happen. We’ve decided to wait and see if things become a little more predictable before booking anything – so now it might be 2022 or even 2023 before we get the chance to all go off together! This year it will feel very special if we just manage to have a day out, or a family barbecue together. One positive thing that the last year and a half has taught us is to value and appreciate our loved ones, and not to take them and what they do for us for granted. It’s also made us more aware of the power of touch, of a proper hug. It’s amazing how a…

NOT WAVING BUT DROWNING Dear Roi Isupposed you to be re able to drown in the Dead Sea, but I had a dream that I did! As I was going under the water, however, I woke up. I would be interested to know what this dream means. S. Tiley, 52, Coventry Dear S. Tiley Water symbolises emotion, and drowning in a sea suggests you’re feeling overwhelmed by what’s going on in your emotional life. The fact that the dream was about the Dead Sea, where you normally can’t drown, means that you’ve been especially overwhelmed. But you woke up before you ‘dream-drowned’ so I think you know you’re actually able to cope, despite the very trying situation you’re in. Culture corner Prometheus, the acclaimed 2012 movie by Ridley Scott, is…

Every month, comedian Barry Doddsspends a night in a different haunted location, on a mission to discover the UK’s paranormal hotspots! THE VENUE: Kesteven County Asylum, Lincolnshire THE HAUNTING: Built in 1902, this former mental institution stood through world wars and survived a serious fire before eventually closing its door to patients in the late 1990s. Former staff have spoken of an oppressive atmosphere, with some too afraid to  finish their shifts alone. There is a feeling of being constantly watched around the building and reports of poltergeist activity. Dark shadows, disembodied voices, and a destructive force that trashes rooms are among the supernatural phenomena recorded at this abandoned asylum – and most disturbingly of all, ex-staff were often hissed at by something unseen while walking the corridors alone. Our…

July is set to be a tricky month that feels like the summer of ‘76 – strikes and punk rock! However, roll with it – you’ll achieve more than you think! LAURA JANE HADDOCK Laura is beaming with happiness – not just about her career but her life in general. I see from next May that she’s on a lockdown, but it’s of the filming kind, not on her own. Babies are not far from her thoughts, but her life is taking her in a different direction right now. Adding to her family is not on the agenda at the moment. I hear the name Tim around her. This could be a romantic connection and may become more important later on. Beyond Downton Abbey, she’s going to take on a…

Celebrity PAST LIFE Love her or hate her, Meghan Markle’s past explains a lot. She was once Princess Mishael, executed in Saudi Arabia in 1977 for refusing to promise to give up the man she loved. Her lover died with her. Being a princess in this life was always going to be impossible after that. Her big problem is that she still has a need to be important and this leads her into mistakes.

Time to move on? Dear Michelle My husband died when our children were just four and 10, they’re 19 and 25 now and still living with me. I met someone a couple of years ago, and we want to marry, but he wants me to move 20 miles into his home, and the kids say they aren’t coming. I’m torn apart by this. Can the angels help? Ella, 47, Gloucester Dear Ella I am using the Angels of Abundance Oracle Cards by Doreen & Grant Virtue for insight on this situation. You’ve done an amazing job as a single mum and you deserve to find love again. Please don’t feel guilty about wanting a life of your own – you are a shining light with so much love to share,…

YOUR QUESTION ANSWERED Every month I choose three cards totally randomly. Ask your question (it can be anything), choose your card and then look down to get your answer – no peeking! Card A ANGELIC PROTECTION This card comes with the message that you are protected and, even better, the worst of whatever you have been going through is now behind you. Your angel guide is nearby and is encouraging you to release the past and have faith that the future can be everything you want it to be, and whatever you have been working towards and wishing for. Card B COMPOSURE This card encourages to be more zen. No matter what is going on around you, no matter if people seem to be doing their best to provoke you,…

This was a location that left us with more questions than answers. The noise was certainly startling but I didn’t expect to see anything on my camera. It feels like an old horror film trope – an old asylum, dark forest, padded cells – but this place was special and unlike any other. I’ve never managed to take such a photo before or since. Sadly the building has been demolished since our investigation, and the land is inaccessible, so the hospital has truly taken its secrets to the grave. At least there is still my SLS photograph; I can share it with people to provoke debate and discussion, and make sure the spirits aren’t forgotten. This investigation is from Dodds’ private archive and took place before any social distancing measures…

Ask any Brit what their favourite vegetable is, and chances are they’ll say a potato! Our love affair with this humble root vegetable is legendary – from fat chip shop chips to skinny fries, crispy roasties to fluffy mash, there’s no form of cooked potato that we don’t adore! This wasn’t always the case. When potatoes were first introduced from the Americas in the 16th century, European farmers were sceptical – but due to their high nutrition and ease of growth, they went on to play a huge role in the population boom of the 19th century. Potatoes are a good source of carbohydrate and fibre, and rich in vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium and manganese. Potato juice has historically been used to treat stomach complaints, such as ulcers, and…

David Phillips, 57, from Torbay, Devon Panning around with my camcorder, I gazed through the lens at the ancient trees, their trunks glowing pale and ethereal in the moonlight. It was Midsummer’s Eve, a night steeped in folklore, celebrated since pagan times as part of the summer solstice. I glimpsed a tiny shape flying past me So what better place to spend it than Wistman’s Wood on Dartmoor, Devon, once part of a ancient Druids? I’d hiked across Dartmoor with five friends from our paranormal investigation team Torbay Investigators of the Paranormal. We’d reached Wistman s Wood, an age-old copse of stunted oaks, at around midnight. The atmosphere amongst the trees was still, peaceful. Then, a few minutes after I’d started filming, a tiny shape flew past the camera. I…

This month, planets of love and passion Mars and Venus embrace in fiery Leo. Blimey! The sparks will certainly be flying – and not just in your love life. This intense energy is great for creativity, too. So will you be feeling the heat this summer? You betcha! The question is, how will it affect you...? ARIES Romance is in the heady air of summer, and you’re swept up in drama and excitement. What could be more wonderful? Beware – although you may think it’s the real deal, the person you’re craziest about could be yourself. STAY COOL – Enjoy the moment – but remember that it is ‘the moment’ and don’t build a life plan on a fantasy. Yes, there will be some real magic around, but use it…

SIGNS ACROSS THE divide Cat in a million Clare Hurst, from Heckmondwike My Bengal cat Archie was the light of my life – he was so talkative and full of energy and affection. My husband Sean and I also have another cat, Smokey. The pair were the best of friends and had always been happy and healthy – but just before Christmas, we noticed Archie wasn’t eating. We took him to the vet, and they did some tests before giving us the bad news. Archie had cancer. I was absolutely heartbroken. He was given pills to ease the pain, and all I could do then was make sure the time he had left was special. I knew I had to stay strong for his sake. Therewasa shadow on myblanket I…

That night, I ran home, as fast as I could. Mum had just finished making the family dinner. ‘Did you have fun playing with your friends?’ she said, putting a bowl of pasta in me. ‘Y-yes,’ I said, my heart thumping. There was no way I was going to admit what we’d been up to. I’d be in so much trouble. But it played on my mind, and I barely slept that night. The next day, as I walked quickly past, trying not to look at it, I couldn’t help but notice that there were horses in the field next to the creepy house. A couple of days later, they were gone. I found out later what had happened to them. The owner of the horses had put them in…

WHAT S IN YOUR spooky snaps? Guardian angel Dear Sally I took this picture of my daughter Montana on her first birthday on 7 June 2020 and I think that’s an orb next to my daughter’s leg. I took another picture literally seconds after and it wasn’t there! She’s been a very ill baby who’s been in hospital for nine months since she was born. We also recently lost a very close relative! I’d love it if you could get back to me – it’s been a rough few years and I’m still freaking out about this picture! Shannon Townsley, North Ayrshire Dear Shannon Thank you for the lovely picture of Montana, what a gorgeous girl. I can clearly see what you describe as an orb, however, I feel…

Katie paints your spirit guide Dear Katie I would like my spirit guide to help show me the best way to heal broken friendships. Andy, 45, Norwich Dear Andy Your spirit guide is Sophia, who lived in England at the turn of the 20th century. She worked as a doctor and was a renowned feminist. She was a key figure in helping women have access to a university education. She stands with you because you share the same strength, determination, and fight for what’s right in life. Although you may face challenges, it is Sophia that strengthens your resolve to keep going. This applies to friendships too. She urges you to find the common ground and remind them of what brought you together. Communication and nostalgia hold great power in…

Healing hug Dear Michelle I suffered from awful periods, abdominal pain and fatigue for many years, but it took years to diagnose me with endometriosis (a condition where tissue similar to that in your womb starts to grow in other places, such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes). I agreed to a hysterectomy when I was 48, but I’d never had any surgery before, and when the date arrived, I was incredibly nervous. I’ll never forget sitting in the surgery waiting area in my dressing gown, shaking with fear! I was just beginning to wonder whether it was worth going through with the operation, when I felt someone hug me from behind. I had been feeling cold, sitting with my arms wrapped tightly around my body, but now I felt…

Claire Stone, 39, from St. Helen’s, Merseyside My body was floating, astral travelling through the night sky. By my side was a beautiful angel shimmering with yellow and gold colours. I could clearly see the angel’s face, hands and huge wings – but they were more energy than an actual physical shape. I knew I was dreaming, but it was real all the same. I’ve had lucid dreams like this many times – and I’ve seen angels since I was a child, too, met all the male and female archangels. However, I’d never seen this particular golden angel before. I wasn’t scared though, just flew along behind her. Next, I was flying over my mother’s house, which is a - mine. I could see her bedroom – then whoosh! I…

A CARD FOR THE MONTH It’s another big month astrologically as Jupiter, planet of good luck and good times, changes signs, moving back into Aquarius, just after the full moon in Aquarius. What’s the best way for you to harness your good luck between now and the end of the year (which is how long this cycle lasts)? Let’s take a look! Sign of the month: CANCER – A fiery climax approaches! This card carries the message ‘being assertive is good but just don’t ride roughshod over anyone’. For you to get  months, you have to be as kind and considerate as you can be. The more you think of others, the better your karma and your luck will be. LEO – The energy is gaining momentum. your luck is…

If you’re on a spiritual path, you’re probably aware that we all have a guardian angel. But there are many other angels that you can call on for help including powerful archangels like Michael and Raphael. These are your power angels. Angelologists, experts in angels, believe that archangels embody an archetype – a pure entity representing a specific energy. For example, Michael the warrior angel can offer protection while Raphael assists with healing. You don’t need special skills to invite archangels into your life and ask for help or change – just an open heart and a willingness to believe these beautiful beings can transform your life. SUPPORT CHANGE Archangel Gabriel: Known as the ‘Heavenly Awakener’, Gabriel reveals insights in dreams and brings hope. Angel ritual Close your eyes and…

RIDDLE’S REMEDIES Dear Kirsten I’m interested in self-development and lucid dreaming. Is there a way I can encourage prophetic dreams? Janice, Reading Dear Janice Make your own dream pillow and fill it with ingredients that promote psychic insights. Start with two squares of material the same size, then gather together a selection of dried herbs. Lavender aids sleep, and mugwort encourages psychic visions and also helps you remember dreams. Dried chamomile is soothing, and a sprig of rosemary will sharpen your senses. Add in a small piece of amethyst, then sew up the edges and leave under your pillow. Keep a notepad and pen by your bed, so that you can record your dreams on waking. Bewitching ingredient! Lemon verbena has a gorgeous uplifting scent which attracts positive energy and…

Summer is all about the seaside – there’s nothing that screams ‘holiday!’ more than lounging on the beach, splashing about in the sea, and enjoying a delicious ice-cream cone! But beware! Some beaches may look stunning, all golden sands and sparkling sea – but they hide dark secrets. If you visit any of these places, make sure you sunbathe with one eye open… HORSING ABOUT Sandwood Bay, in Sutherland, is one of the most northerly points in Scotland – a six-hour drive from Glasgow – but when you get there, it’s worth the long drive. With sparkling turquoise sea and golden sands, you could almost be in the tropics – apart from the weather, of course! And as befits such a remote and beautiful Scottish location, it’s steeped in myth…

PIE IN THE SKY Dear Jackie My darling dog Pie passed away aged 11 suddenly nearly four years ago and my heart still aches for her. Do you have a message for me? Shamila, London Dear Shamila Pie tells me that she was the most adorable, soft and easy dog. She made everyone smile – and maybe she was even able to really smile herself? She was a girl who was very proud of herself, and equally proud of you. She says you are an avid animal lover and have helped rescue some lost creatures. She shows me that she has joined a man in Heaven who I believe to have passed because of his heart. It seems your life has been far from straightforward and says to say that…
