Ghost buster

WHEN the Tabrett family went on holiday to Corfu, they never bargained for the souvenir they inadvertently brought back with them: A ghost.

Toni and Adam Tabrett were enjoying their 10 days of fun in the sun with their two-year-old daughter Emily, but became concerned when her behaviour took a drastic turn for the worse.

And when they returned home, not only did the toddler continue to misbehave, she was unable to sleep and kept talking about the strange man in her room...

The parents eventually became so concerned that they considered sending their disturbed daughter to a behavioural expert.

It was Highcliffe medium and spirit rescuer Wilma Davidson who eventually restored peace in the Tabrett household, as the root of the problem lay in the spirit world.

Things were going well on the holiday, until Adam took Emily for a walk along the beach and stumbled across a man who had been pulled out of the sea and was being given CPR.

Adam, 45, explained: “I picked Emily up straight away and we turned around. She didn’t see anything.”

The family later found out that the man had died. Apparently he was a Danish doctor in his 50s who had got into trouble while snorkelling after a few drinks.

When they returned home to Blackfield, on the edge of the New Forest, Emily went from being a happy child to one who clung to her bedroom doorframe, refusing to go in.

Toni said: “Things became progressively worse.

“She would sleep in the car, but not in her bedroom.

“She was so tired she became badly behaved.”

After trying everything in their power to help Emily for two months, they were at the end of their tether.

Then a friend happened to visit who was a trainee psychic.

She sensed the spirit of a middle-aged man in Emily’s room but couldn’t tune into it.

Desperate to try anything at this stage, they were put in touch with Wilma Davidson, a medium based in New Milton.

“We only told her that Emily wasn’t sleeping properly, but after tuning into our home, Wilma said she had found a lost soul.

“He was male, in his mid-50s and had died swimming abroad.

“She even said he was a Danish doctor – it was the man from holiday!

“Wilma said Emily has a gift and gives off a shining light.”

Confused, when the man died his spirit attached himself to Emily instead of entering the light.

Wilma carried out a spirit rescue to help him to the other side and Emily immediately had a good night’s sleep.

“After going through what we did, I wouldn’t shun anything like that now,” said Toni.

“But the most important outcome of all is that Emily is back to being her bubbly old self.”

Wilma, who lives at Walkford, near Highcliffe, is a medium and exorcist, as well as being a member of the National Federation of Spiritual Healing, and the Spirit Release Foundation.

She said: “It was easy for me to communicate with the poor soul by sending thoughts to him. He was lost, far away from home.

“The man had died on a beach and had attached himself to Emily instead of entering the light.

“I told him his family were all waiting for him at the light and that there would be a bit of a party waiting for him.”

Wilma, 73, has helped to coax countless earthbound spirits to “the light” over the past two decades, including five souls from the Titanic.

“Two wouldn’t go because all their jewellery was locked in the safe, and the other three had stayed because their limousine was in the hold,” she said.

“I told them their respective treasures were in the light.”

She was also involved in moving spirits over who were haunting an industrial development near Christchurch that was the site of an aircraft disaster in 1944.

A loaded US bomber crashed on take-off at the American airbase at Somerford.

The runway wasn’t long enough to get this sort of craft off the ground and the 20-year-old pilot collided with a house in Foxwood Avenue, killing the occupants.

When rescuers arrived, including special police constables, the bombs in the plane exploded, killing 18 people.

Over the years, staff in one of the units on the industrial development reported ghostly manifestations, including a spirit in a black jacket, and refused to enter the building alone.

“I was called to move them on and found several spirits still there,” said Wilma.

“As well as the pilot who went over quickly I found a woman and her children who lived in the house, and a policeman who had been at the rescue. I sent them to the light and when I checked with the manager of the unit afterward he said all was quiet.”
