‘Was her black magic working against her?’ Summoned? Soon after, Aunt Linda rang Mum again. They spoke for ages. ‘What’s the matter, Mum?’ I asked. ‘Aunt Linda is freaking out,’ she said, frowning. ‘She opened her front door – and found a massive alligator right outside. She said it was waiting for her!’ Chills immediately ran down my spine. ‘Is she OK?’ I gasped. ‘Just. It made a lunge for her, but she managed to slam the door in its face,’ Mum explained. ‘She’s had to have the pond in her garden filled in, as it may have laid its eggs in there.’ Shock I thought of that weird, devilish ornament sinking beneath the dark water of Linda’s pond and shuddered. Could the two incidents be connected? Could that ornament…

Q&A Tiles make me shudder Dear Jenny I’ve always hated white tiles, especially the type you see in old-fashioned hospitals or public toilets! I can’t stand pubs that have tiles on the outside of the building. Even modern bathrooms that have all-white tiling make me shudder. Emma, 42, Glossop, Derbyshire Dear Emma In 1942, you were a Jewish girl called Petra, aged 14, who was taken to Treblinka extermination camp. Here the killing rooms were disguised as shower rooms, complete with white tiles, hence your fear of their secret purpose. You should be regressed to have this trauma healed, but make sure your therapist allows you to see it as if you were watching a film, or it’ll be too upsetting. I had three men killed Dear Jenny A medium…

‘I could feel the spirit’s panic rising in my body’ I felt the anger rage inside of me as I screamed at my husband James. ‘I can’t stand you and I want you out my life!’ I shouted at him. Why? James had no idea. And I was even scaring myself. Shaking, I took a minute to listen to myself and I was shocked. Horrible words had come out of my mouth. This isn’t like me at all, I thought. Spirit release I loved James, 38. We’d married a year earlier, having been together for 19 years. But then a boiling anger had appeared and I was taking it out on James. I needed help and I knew who to contact – a spirit release therapist called Tina Lee-Ure. Twelve…

Crystal fact Strawberry quartz This gentle stone looks like a delicious crystal version of strawberries and cream. Don't try to eat it, though! If you're feeling lonely, it’s the perfect gemstone.

‘Had he discovered its secrets during a trip to Egypt?’ Time travel has always been a top sci-fi subject. From Marty McFly’s trip away from the 80s in Back to the Future to Dr Who’s TARDIS adventures, the idea that the present isn’t all we have is certainly an imagination grabber. The big question is: could it happen in real life? The answer may lie behind the bronze doors of a mausoleum in Brompton Cemetery, West London. The tomb is the final resting place of socialite Hannah Courtoy, who died in 1849 at the age of 65. Hannah had accumulated much wealth and her last address was in salubrious Belgravia. No wonder she wanted to be buried somewhere luxurious. Following their own deaths, two of Hannah’s…

I have a tall resident ghost, who I've nicknamed Lofty. One evening, I was watching TV when an advert came on featuring a man who was Lofty's double. ‘That just looks like you!’ I said out loud. All of a sudden there were three loud knocks on the coffee table and the lights went out! Petrified, I ran to my neighbour’s and she came round with a torch. We couldn’t find anything wrong, but the snack I’d been eating had been finished. Lofty was obviously hungry. Now I don’t risk talking to him unless it’s daylight! Margaret Meager, Berkhamsted…

The 16th-19th centuries saw a spate of witch-hunts in Europe. Ireland didn't escape. In 1661, it was claimed that, on being refused a piece of beef at John Pyne's house, Florence Newton of Youghal kissed his maid, causing the woman to suffer from fits. It was also alleged that she brought about Pyne's death by kissing him, too. Your November ritual Kisses can be used to seal a spell and add personal power.

Karma is created by your words, thoughts and actions – both good and bad. In every lifetime , a record is made in the spiritual world of all your thoughts and deeds – known as the Akashic records – and this creates a ‘karmic debt’ or ‘karmic surplus'. Every time you incarnate, you have the opportunity to work off this karmic debt and evolve as a soul. How? In each lifetime, you’re set lessons which revealed by your Karmic Sun Sign – and how you act contributes to your karmic surplus or debt. Discovering your Karmic Sun Sign is simple. Look at the astrology wheel and it’s the opposite sign to your Sun Sign. What does yours reveal for you ? Aries (21 Mar – 20 Apr) Karmic Lessons: Learn…

A few years ago, I was doing some shopping in the supermarket with my mum (where she worked) and dropped my keys on the floor. A member of staff picked up my keys and asked if I had a key that wasn’t mine – and I did, the key to an abusive ex-boyfriend’s home. She asked me to take it off and give it to her. A week later, she gave my mum a letter saying I could put the past behind me – and that I’d meet a tall, blond man, who’d be kind and gentle. Five years later, I’m living with my blond 6ft 2in tall husband and our beautiful 9-month-old baby boy! Have you had an amazing reading lately that you’d like to share with us? Or…

Down the generations When my dear friend Jay confided in me that he lived in fear of a curse put on his family generations earlier, my heart went out to him. Years before, his grandma, who was from the West Indies, had fallen in love. But her parents had been so against the match, her mother had cursed all the men in his family. And, because they’d all died young, Jay believed he would, too. ‘Can you lift a curse?’ he asked me. I explained the you can only be free of a curse by truly believing that it doesn’t exist. But, in February last year, Jay was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Sadly, in January this year, Jay passed away at the age of 35. It seemed the ‘curse’…

Q&A It’s not egg-actly fun! Dear Jayda Cooked egg white terrifies me. I feel sick and want to run away. I eat cakes, so I’m not allergic to them. Caz, 60, Plymouth Dear Caz Ovaphobia is the fear of eggs, triggered by an experience you might not remember, where eating eggs made you vomit. This is part of your body’s survival mechanism to protect you from poisons. It’s so common people are warned not to eat their favourite food during chemotherapy. To overcome the fear, perhaps see a hypnotherapist. My eyes are dry and itchy Dear Jayda Is there a remedy for dry eye? Mine sting and itch.

‘In the film, Scarlett O’Hara was very unlucky’ Signs across the divide Red-faced? When I learned my girl Isadora was having a second baby at 22, I wasn't jumping for joy. At 18 months, her son was barely walking and she had just finished university. It’d definitely stop her chances of getting a job. All I could think of was how she and her partner would cope financially with another child, and that overshadowed the excitement. ‘Scarlett’s her name,’ she told me happily. ‘That’s horrible,’ I moaned. ‘It reminds me of the movie Gone With The Wind .’ Of course she was too young to know about it. The movie was released in 1939, based on a 1936 book. ‘I like it,’ she said. ‘You don’t have a clue,’ I…

Your Relationship If your other half is questioning your priorities, use such a moment to explain why something’s so important to you. Be allowing in return – even if you don’t understand! Positive turnarounds and romantic moments of the mushy kind come in abundance on the 22nd. New Love You’re the wordsmith of the Zodiac, but once your ruler Mercury is replaced by Venus in your Communication Sector on the 7th, you find it difficult to talk your way in or out of love.

Your Relationship An irksome and long-running personal issue is coming to an end, and the light now awaits at the end of the tunnel. Thank your partner for their support, as they’ll appreciate being valued with renewed commitment. Mercury in your sign from the 5th suggests you’re ready to talk and your other half is all ears.

Cursed be the culprits who stole my beautiful fairy! Dear Miss Crimebuster Locally I'm known as the Fairy Lady, as I have a big fairy collection.

I do like a good mystery – and I know most of you do, too. While doing some research recently I came across an interesting piece of literature, and I had to share it with you all. Imagine that you’re working on a construction site, hammering away at some huge block of stone. Suddenly it splits asunder, revealing a small cavity… only there is something inside it – a live toad! Trapped Sounds like a made-up story, right? This actually happened right here in the UK – in Hartlepool, to be precise, around the mid-1800s. But how could this be? Well, it’s a mystery for sure, but not the only incident of this sort to be documented. And it’s not only toads! Back in the early half of the 19th…

‘She’d started dabbling in witchcraft, she said’ Throwing a stick into the swamp, I watched, fascinated, as it sank beneath the murky brown waters. ‘I think I saw an alligator!’ I squealed to my sister Avril, who was then 13. ‘Quick, run!’ she yelled. We sprinted back to my aunt’s house, giggling with nervous excitement. It was the late 1970s. Aged 12, I was visiting my Aunt Linda in Florida with Avril and our mother Pam. I loved Florida, a far cry from the cool weather and tree-lined avenues of New York, where I lived. And I loved visiting my aunt’s noisy house, home to my six cousins, all in their late teens and early 20s. Divorce As we arrived, still giggling, Avril and I spotted Mum and Aunt Linda…

Short shrift Do you think a work colleague is deliberately sending ‘negative energy' to you because she's jealous? Well, think again. According to Danielle Fagan, aka The Third Eye Mama, there are many reasons why humans have unkind thoughts about one another…and they don’t consciously send out bad vibes. Fagan is a spiritual counsellor who warns her clients not to get too hung up on negativity, as the fear of it could make it real. Fagan believes the New Age practice of ‘psychic protection’ can backfire. The word ‘protection’ is rooted in fear and the law of attraction, says Fagan – so people spend too much time thinking about what they don’t want to attract in their lives instead of what they do. Accept that some people may not like…

Glancing at the door leading to the garden, I stared in shock. Through the glass, I could make out two huge black ears, like a gigantic wolf’s. ‘Dad!’ I screamed, before bolting into the lounge where my mum and dad Linda and Bob were watching TV. ‘There’s a wolf in the garden,’ I sobbed in terror. ‘It was looking at me!’ Dad took my hand. Gently leading me to the door, he opened it. ‘See, there’s nothing there,’ he soothed, showing me the empty garden. But although I was just 6 years old, I knew what I’d seen. ‘A dark shadow floated in from behind the door’ Cloaked figure A huge, wolf-like creature had been peering at me. And the monstrous wolf wasn’t the only spooky entity at our terraced…

Your Relationship Mars continues his journey through your Partnership Sector all of this month and into the next. While this is great for passion, it’s more complex when it comes to ego stuff.

'Spirits are often drawn to the energy of children' 'I wield a psychic sword on the side of the angels' Children have special gifts. They can sense what we can’t sense, see what we can’t see. It’s why so many of the houses that I’m asked to clear, as a psychic and healer, are occupied by kids. Spirits are drawn to their energy – not always in a good way… Standing in the middle of the living room in a semidetached house in a quiet suburban street in Birmingham, I asked the question for which all psychic mediums are best known. ‘Is there anybody there?’ I asked, but I already knew the answer. Psychic The house was still and empty. The family who owned it had gone out so…

As Mum took her last breath, a rainbow orb appeared My mum, Wyn, loved hearing about my work with angels. So when I qualified as an angelic reiki master, she couldn’t have been more proud. ‘I’m holding my first angelic reiki workshop,’ I told her excitedly. ‘That’s wonderful,’ Mum beamed. A call The workshop at my home, in July 2011, lasted all weekend. During the final meditation, the phone rang. As soon as I picked it up, I could sense the panic in my dad Laurence’s voice. ‘Your mum’s really ill,’ he told me. Anxiety rising, I phoned an ambulance. Then I finished the workshop, rushed to the hospital. Bad news Mum, 80, was suffering from acute pancreatitis. I sat by Mum’s bedside in Intensive Care. ‘Is she going to…

'It became natural to will the animals to get better' 'I collapsed in my studio and had an out-of-body experience' 'I use even Havening to treat dogs, cats and horses' As the rain battered our car, a tiny rabbit shot across the road. Dad stopped to have a look, he was forever rescuing injured animals. Minutes later, he returned with the baby rabbit. ‘The mother’s dead by the roadside,’ said Dad. ‘I don’t think this little one will survive the trip home.’ I put the limp body under my jumper and on the drive home to Haddington in East Lothian, I imagined my energy going into the rabbit and willed it to live.
