LIBBY INTERVIEWS
JAMES VAN PRAAGH
Dear Readers: Well I'm back from my little break at the clin..spa. I was delighted to find that I would be interviewing James Van Praagh. To be honest as a hard-hitting journalist I was skeptical but after a display of his amazing skill he made a believer out of me! I'll have new celebrity interviews for you in the coming weeks so keep your eyeballs peeled!
Libby
Do you want me to dim the lights?
James
No, that's not necessary.
Libby
Maybe light a few candles? Some incense? Spooky music?
James
No, let's get right to it. I'm seeing something. Yes. I'm seeing a woman, definitely a woman. I sense she is a relative do you know who this is?
Libby
Well like I told you a few minutes ago, my grandmother Lillian she passed over years ago in Marshall Field. She had a massive heart attack while wrestling over a Butterfly Meadow quilt at a white sale. I honestly suspect it was murder because it was 75% off and...
James
I'm seeing an L...yes it's definitely an "L" and I'm seeing crowds, does that make sense? feeling a pain in my chest, yes definitely my chest. I'm seeing a ring, does that make sense?
Libby
Yes! Yes! She wore a wedding ring!
James
I'm seeing the ring, seeing the ring, it's round and gold, do you understand?
Libby
Yes, that's it! That's her ring! It was silver but she definitely had a ring, it had their initials on the inside...
James
Ok. Yes, silver. Silver and round, I'm seeing letters...
Libby
LK to WK...
James
I'm seeing a man, yes definitely a man..wait, Waldo Winston, Wolfgang, Wheeler, Wilfred, Wendell, Wesley, Whitney, Wuzzy, Weenie, Wallace, Wayne, Ward, Wilbur, Walter, William...
Libby
William! that was my grandpa's name! This is incredible! I'm feeling the hair on the back of my neck crawl!
James
I'm feeling a pain, I'm getting the impression, yes an impression of chest pain. Did your grandfather have problems with his heart?
Libby
Well, yes when it stopped. But before that, no.
James
Did he have a problem with his lungs?
Libby
No.
James
I'm feeling pain in the head did he have trouble with his head please? Neck region? Top of his legs or arms? Feet? Maybe upper to lower back?
Libby
Yes! He had a bad back!
James
Yes, I'm feeling back pain. I'm seeing a photos of this man, do you understand?
Libby
I have a photo of him! How could you have known that? Oh, gosh I'm shaking---do they have any advice for me?
James
Your grandmother loves you...
Libby
Really?
James
She wants you to be careful, don't smoke in gas stations, don't use the blow dryer in the bathtub, don't operate heavy machinery while drunk.
Libby
Oh my God, Nonnie? Nonnie I've always wanted to ask you, Do you know where your good silver went? We tore the floorboards apart looking for it but nothing.
James
I'm sensing the intial "J."
Libby
I have the feeling my sister Blanche who is a greedy no-goodnik might have taken the silver, but so far it's just a suspicion.
James
John, Joe, Johnny, Jeffrey, Jeremiah, Joseph, Jinx, , James, Jim, JimmyJ..who is this please?
Libby
Even if she could give me a hint, because that silver is worth thousands now.
James
Jacob, Jacqueline, Julian, Jefferson, Jed, Jim, Jane, Josh, Judy, Jeremiah, Jennifer, Jaspar, Jean, Jamie, Jarvis, Jason, Joanne, Jo-Jo, Jack, Jill...
Libby
No, don't know anyone with J...
James
Or K, I'm definitely seeing the initial K; Do you know a person with the initial K, who is this please?
Libby
Let me think...
James
Kilroy, Kevin, Kieran, Kathy, Ken, Kenneth, Karen...
Libby
Wait! A Karen used to live next door to me in my old neighbourhood!
James
Karen, that's it. Karen definitely Karen. She is showing me something what is this please?
Libby
Oooooo, I don't know. Why would Karen want to talk to me? The only time we spoke was when I threatened to sue her for cutting down my sycamore. Beautiful tree kept the sun from burning out my retinas, but no, she worshiped the sun and took down that beautiful tree. She had a face that looked like a baseball mitt probably because of all of the UV...
James
I'm getting the sense that she forgives you.
Libby
Forgives me? For what? I didn't cut down her tree, why don't you tell her for me, that I hope the garden of paradise still looks nice after she get's her paws on the pruning shears. Also you can tell her...wait a minute, she's not dead.
James
Yes, that's what she wants to tell you.
Libby
But if she's not dead how can she talk to you?
James
I'm dealing with frequencies of energy, sometimes the thoughts are sent very quickly and get mixed up so translations are very difficult.
Libby
Oh, I gotcha. Like a psychic static cling, believe anyone who's every attended a function with a sock stuck to the back of her dress can identify.
I have to admit I was skeptical but--oh gosh!
You know between you and me and the wall, I always thought I had a bit of a gift too. Wait until I tell you this.
About five years ago I was just about to throw out all my '70's clothes and a very weird, almost spiritual thing came over me. I heard a voice in my head who sounded oddly like Marty Allen and it said "Libby, the minute you throw that stuff out is the minute it will be in fashion again."
Well, I ignored that voice and thousands of dollars later I'm still trying to recreate my old wardrobe!!! Can you believe it? Isn't that spooky? It just shows you! I guess that everyone has the gift inside them, they just need to listen to their inner voice, am I right?
James
Yes, if you buy my book.
Libby
Oh, I just thought that many people might naturally have the gift.
James
No. You need the book.
Libby
But surely there's...
James
No.
Libby
Oh, I see. Well thank you James, honestly this has been remarkable.
Could you possibly get my grandmother back? Maybe page her?
