ANGIE'S READING

First of all, I notice that the house is very well looked after and quite a large one too. I don't know how old the building is, but to me, it seems to have a lot of life in the past.

I keep wanting to go to the upstairs part of it. Why I am drawn there I do not know, but staring at this building, I feel activity upstairs. I have to make my way now to the front door in my mind.

I shut my eyes and saw a black lady standing at the end of a hallway watching me enter. She was in black dress with white apron, plump of build and about late 50's, early 60's. I got the feeling that she worked as a maid or helper there.

On the porch, I felt a bathchair or wheelchair - it had somebody in it with blanket round their legs. Does any of this make sense? It's as if the lady has come forward to show me the house.

Upstairs, as I look from the staircase, I feel drawn to walk up the stairs. Looking at the outside of the property, the window 4th along from the left, partially hidden by the tree, draws me for some reason. When I first copied the photo, it came out blacker than the lighter photo you sent me and why I shuddered, I do not know. I feel that the house could be occupied by a spirit. That window I mentioned I keep seeing a white lady looking out. She is not of this world, but a lady who I feel lived there at one time and does not want to leave.

The tree on left of the picture could be the culprit that takes light from this house.

Two elderly people are coming forward now. I feel a married couple who either live there or lived there. Somehow, Judy, I feel "lived".

Does anyone feel anything please when entering the windowed room I mentioned earlier. Also, has anyone heard footsteps when nobody has been seen? I also hear children laughing and running around. This might be in the past of the house.

Looking at the picture again, I feel that somebody moved out quickly from it. Oh, I hope this makes sense. The more I look at this property, the more I am convinced that it is guarding its secrets. I feel much spirit here.

Does a bathroom in the property mean anything? Why do I have to go to a bathroom? This room is old fashioned as I see it, as it would be at turn of the 20th century or before.

I am sorry to say I feel like crying. It's so beautiful and large, but how old it is I have no idea. Your houses are so different to ours, but I feel it has been renovated?

Is there an attic there too, please? I hear a large trunk or box being dragged over the floor.

Judy, I may be way off the mark with these feelings I pick up, but I feel that the house needs light. The picture shows a nicely kept property, but a sad one.

Is there, or was there, a crystal chandelier in a downstairs room? This house has a very colonial feel about it and the black lady seemed to be in charge of the running of it at one time. Man's legs I see also now with long black boots on walking up the path.

Does the name of Rose mean anything, Judy, with this house?

Why do I see leather sofa in one of the rooms?

I see a man with white hair down to his shoulders now, but not of this time. He wears a yellow/gold coat and has a moustache. Did you know of him?

Does the name Blake mean anything here, Judy?

I like the entrance to the property with the pattern over the door, but feel that walking up to this door, the house is telling me to treat it with respect. Memories galore are over that threshold, some not so good as others.

I am getting a headache now. To me this house seems empty of life in the picture of it. Needs light, laughter, and noise through its doors. Looks very sad.

I am not picking up willy nilly these feelings of spirit, Judy. I actually feel all this strongly.

In color, this house would seem less forbidding to me I am sure. I definitely don't feel this is a new house by any means, but when it was constructed I have no idea other than what I am picking up.

Another person I see now, Judy, is a soldier coming out of the property with a rolled up knapsack on his shoulder. He turns and looks at the house one more time, then walks up the street. Tears I hear within and feel it is wartime.

This house is slumbering, waiting in the picture for someone to come along and fling open its blinds and windows. But, the someone who buys it, I feel must not be afraid of the Spirits that still dwell within its walls.

You must have had a real passion for asking me about this house, Judy, and I promise you that all I have said about it is what the Spirit World have shown me. Maybe it was bought after the picture was taken and maybe now that house is happier. I have no way of knowing at this time.

I send love and light to it. Houses are like people. You either go mad and say, "Oh I would love that house" or you feel unsure. If anyone now lives there, I hope that the house lets them be happy there and that the spirits I picked up keep to their own time.

I will send this over now, Judy, and please don't mince your words if you think I was speaking nonsense. I do not ever write things for others that I feel they want to hear. I really saw those bygone people and felt the feelings I got from this picture.

God Bless you over there. Angie

JUDY'S RESPONSE

Hi Angie, I just got your reading on the house and I am delighted! I also think I should have sent a colored picture because it doesn't look as somber in color. That said, I must tell you that once again, you've "hit the nail on the head!"

I believe that the name Rose was a former owner's wife. The house is still called the "Wooley House" after Rose's husband, J.R. Wooley, the city clerk for several decades of our small town. Many important meetings took place here in our basement as to town government. I want to check a few facts, but I can't get to them right now. I am reasonably sure there was a maid here at one time as they were fairly affluent. They are probably turning over in their graves because I can't take care of it as well as they did.

As to the bathroom, it is indeed old. The black and cream tiles and floor reflect old age. My house was built in 1886 with an addition put on in the 1920's. Including this bathroom.

I often have felt as if someone is watching me, but I don't get bad "vibes".

My grandson saw a dark figure standing in the doorway of his former room which would be the room with the tree in front of it! There has always been activity in the third floor (the former attic) which now is a nice little set of rooms for my grandson, his wife and baby. However, lately, Chris has told us he hears little children's voices and the baby's toys seem to be turning on by themselves!!!!

My granddaughter, who used to live on the third floor, believes she saw a man up there a few years ago. Not alive, of course, but getting around just the same.

There is a small attic over this third floor, but it is very small and the heating and air conditioning are housed up there. Yes, they have heard footsteps in the third floor and the first floor. There was a crystal chandelier at one time in my dining room, but I changed it for an antique red glass one with crystals on it. The crystal one is now hanging in storage in our basement.

I'm very uncomfortable about the basement and never go down there alone. It has three separate rooms that are used for storage. I'm all right once I get down there, but would rather not go there as it seems a little spooky to me and dark.

I don't know anything about a soldier leaving home from here but it's very possible. The man with a mustache might be Dr. Beach who built this house and practiced medicine in it for many years.

The emblem over the front door is that of an elephant. As I told you before, this house was a place of politics and that was the republican sign.

Living in this house I have been Happy and have slept better and deeper than I ever did. I felt I had "come home" after we moved here eleven years ago. We were supposed to buy it many years before that, but it fell through and other people bought it. Finally, 21 years later, we did buy it.

It's a funny thing. We paid $220,000 for it and I'm happy to say it's now worth over $800,000. I am proud of owning it although I doubt that we'll stay here too much longer what with high taxes and too much work for my husband and myself.

I want you to know that when we were looking at the house, the pictures that someone else took, showed Victorian looking people walking by the front of the house. Not real and perhaps configurations from the copier, but it sure looked like people from the past!

The house does need light. My husband likes it dark and I don't! So, when he's away, I turn on all the lights!

Thank you, Angie, for always knowing! As I said before, I'm delighted with the reading and with you.

Fondly, Judy S.
