Sometimes a paranormal experience may prove to be a synchronicity for someone else. It can be particularly difficult when that someone else is a member of your family and a skeptic. That’s what happened in the following story, sent to us by a woman who sometimes hears or sees spirits or ghosts. She wishes to remain anonymous because she thinks the story is a bit too “woo-woo” for the business in which she works. So we’ll call her June, her husband will be Max and her brother-in-law, Bob.

Before Christmas, my brother-in-law, Bob, went shopping to find a gift for me. As soon as he entered the shop, the female clerk said, “You’re here to get a gift for your sister.” He told her no, his sister-in-law. She said, “No. She’s more like a sister to you. Not the traditional sister-in-law relationship.” This was accurate.
“The woman told Bob that she sensed the eagle around me and brought out a crystal that was called “eagle Head.’ Bob remembered that I had carted an ill eagle around most of Arizona looking for a vet that would treat it. Another woman who just happened to be in the shop looked around and said, “Her name is Jenny, but that’s not her real name. She just prefers it to her real name. When did Jenny die?” My brother-in-law told her my name was June and I was still alive. Jenny/June. Close. Then he continued to talk to the store owner until she went in the back to wrap my crystal.
“The other shopper then said, “No. It’s Jerry. That’s what she likes to be called, but it’s not her real name. And she’s dead.” Well, Bob’s mother’s name was Jerry, short for Geraldine, which she hated. And the woman said, “Jerry is all over a situation you’re handling right now. She wants you to know you don’t have to worry.”
So the situation is weird enough – two random shoppers brought together one day in a store so that Bob could hear from his dead mother, Jerry, that she was on top of a “situation” – which was probably the fact that Bob’s wife lost her entire family this past year – her dad to cancer, her mother to emphysema, and then her
brother to suicide.
Bob was less of a skeptic when he left the store. Also, when he told this story to a friend he and his wife had over for dinner, a Christmas ornament fell off the tree as soon as he finished, startling everyone. It was a metal ornament that belonged to his mother, Jerry.
Then there’s Max, June’s husband. “Jerry was also Max’s mom and she’s the one who kept talking to me in my dream state and almost wrecked my marriage because Max didn’t believe me. I demanded that she prove herself to me and Max, so I picked a bracelet out and told her to make Max buy it for me.
“We were on vacation and I chose something odd to make it a really good test. Max had never purchased jewelry for me on a trip, and it was my test so why not make it fun? I was walking the city without Max, saw these bracelets, liked the purple one and decided that would be the test. Well, after a few days I went back
to the store and just bought the bracelet because I knew Jerry would never get through to Max. We came home from our trip, and low and behold, Max pulls a jewelry bag out of his luggage! Yes, the same exact bracelet. And purple. There was like a dozen colors to choose from. It took him a few more big ticket
items to realize that I was really connecting with dead people, even if it doesn’t jive with today’s version of science.
“Once I was able to convince Max and his brothers that their mom was coming to me and talking they started having these kinds of encounters on their own. So it just took them being open to the possibility that life, or more accurately death, was not exactly as it seems, she could start contacting them on her own without my
assistance.”
