I am rereading Michael Bentines excellent book "The Door Marked Summer" he really put some footwork into paranormal research
His interest was sparked by his father who attended a seance, anyway to cut a long story short
The medium said she had a lady coming through saying "remember Bolton" (or something similar) which brought to the fore a long forgotten incident in the aforementioned town to do with the lady coming through
My immediate thought was why did she not say remember me (her name) why all the cryptic clues I have seen and read about this for years, things like "he's showing me a ring" how about he just says what his name was?
It could be the way the messages come through, I don't know but it would help if the communicating entities were a bit more specific
I got in row with some of Michel Newtons (Journey of the Soul and other claptrap) followers about this claiming that there were souls waiting to be reborn etc, etc, and what caused the arguments was I just wanted to know who these souls had been especially people who said they had lived in fairly recent times, I thought it was quite a reasonable request and would have been a game changer as would an entity giving their name straight away rather than a cryptic clue.
Or could it be the rules of the paranormal game are, never give 100% proof, confuse them, lay false trails etc, because that's the way it seems to me, those that search for the answers are sometimes driven to insanity, they get tantalisingly close and then the rug is pulled from under them, like some past life regression memories that on the face of are so close but one minor detail just doesn't fit (like there are no records of the person) but the minor detail seems to undermine the whole case (The Bridey Murphy case comes to mind)
The late Joe Fisher had experience of this in The Siren Call of the Hungry Ghost, (another great read by the way)
Anyway it intrigues me no end, because it seems to be the whole gamut of Forteana from Ghosts and the afterlife, UFO's, Fairies and even many cryptoids (alien Big Cats seem to play by the same rue(
