Hi, guys. I hope this finds you well in the spooky season that we are now in. I love it. I've experienced many things like yourselves, but this one I wanted to share with you. This happened in New Zealand when I lived in New Zealand a good 15 years ago now. So I hadn't been there very long and I moved into a villa with some friends.

In fact, I think it was literally the first few weeks I was there. And we had a normal evening at home after work and dinner and I went to bed. And then I woke up in the night. Well, I thought I woke up, but I was actually in a dream. But it was really real. I can't really explain how it worked. So basically I was asleep. And then...

I heard this voice saying, it's Sally, it's Sally, my name's Sally, it's Sally here, it's Sally, my name's Sally, over and over and over again. And in this dreamlike state, there was a woman towards my left periphery and she was going really small into the background, if you think like behind my head, and then she was coming in really strong and really fast.

physically near my face on the left side by my by my head and then she kept going away and as she was going sort of back and forth in my mind it was a bit like stranger things when they're that big bubble there was nothing else around and as she was moving backwards and then forwards close to me she was like in tandem with her it's sally it's sally it's me is it it's sally i'm here it's sally my name's sally

And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I was thinking, I don't know anyone called Sally. We've got no Sally in our family. I don't have a friend who's called Sally. And I didn't recognise this woman, and I could clearly see what she looked like. So sort of laying there in this sort of dream-like... I mean, I was asleep, but I felt I was awake because it was so real and so specific with the name.

And then all of a sudden... there was a scene and it felt like I was looking in on the scene of my friend Bill and children playing in the forest. Now, I know it wasn't just any forest because it's the exact place where I was looking in on him playing with children is a place in the forest where we live, which is Epping Forest in Essex. And I recognised the exact same spot.

So I was like, oh, that's a local, you know, area where, you know, I played as a child and, you know, I take my child there. So I was watching this scene of my friend Belle playing with children and that scene sort of dissipated and vanished and it was back to Sally again.

Now, I don't really, I can't remember how it ended, but I do remember that I went to sleep and I remember thinking in my head, like, I can't help you, I don't know what this means. And I woke up in the morning and And I remembered everything, and I was really eager to tell one of my housemates, Jo. So I told her everything, and then I was like, OK, I've got to contact Bill.

So I emailed Bill in the morning, and obviously because of the time difference, I didn't hear from him until the evening. I explained what had happened, and he said, my sister is called Sally. And I knew... I never met Sally. I'd never seen a photo of her either, but I knew she had passed away. And so he said... What does she look like?

And I explained, you know, from this visit, visitation dream or whatever you want to call it, what she looked like. And I said, please, can you send a photo? Bill's a really good friend of mine. And he sent me a photo. And let me tell you, when I opened up the email, I was literally aghast. I was so shocked. It was her. She had a blonde fringe and like a shoulder length, very straight cut hair.

She had really big, high cheekbones. And it was her. I said, that's the woman in the dream. That's the woman who was showing me. And then obviously I relayed the story to my friend Bill. So we came together and the conclusion that we came together with was that these children were Sally's children. And I feel that she used me...

I don't know why it was years and years later when I was living in New Zealand, but hey, these things happen like this. I feel she contacted me to show me of the picture, the vision of my friend Bill playing with her children in the forest, because Bill obviously looked after the children from time to time, obviously, because she had passed away.

And I believe that she had used me to tell me, to tell Bill that she could still, she could see them playing. She was still around. Because it was so powerful and profound and we were both so comforted by that and I felt so immensely... I'm more than happy. I was elated that I could pass this on.

You know, that Sally was able to contact me to tell her brother that she was in the forest when they were playing, that she was near and she could see them. And she was using me to give me that scene that I could pass on to Bill. I mean, it's just absolutely incredible, isn't it? So that was a very powerful and poignant experience that I had.

I hope you enjoy that because it meant so much to Bill personally.
