"Did any of you see what happened to Joy there?".......................Harold: 'It was really big!'

"When we went into the chapel area, Joy saw someone sitting in a pew.  Were our residents with us in the chapel?".................'Yes'

"Is there going to be a party tonight?"...................Harold: 'You're going to have an experience.  There's going to be a party.  Call your angels.'     'Room 3, They're being bad.   The kids opened the door.  Being bad.'

Cindi: "That would be mine."......................'Better check.'

(At this point I start hearing knocking sounds in the background.  We did not hear these knocking sounds at the time.)

"Is the date right that I was looking?".................'Yes'

"There's no Bentonsport paper that exists any more.".................'Train'

"Did they write about it in your obituary?".................'Don't know'

"Can you give me a lead where I can go from here?"...................'Train.'

"What does that mean about the train?'..................'Transported after July.  Thirty cities.'

"The story went to thirty cities after the event?".................'Yes, by train.'

"Well, we'll keep trying to find an article."................'I told them train.'

"You'll be forgiven.  Just go into the light.  Everything will be okay."....................'It's hot.'

"The guests are expecting alot of activity tonight."........................Harold: 'Party time.'

"I felt you guys by me tonight when I did my talk.".....................'Mary was watching.  She likes to watch you work.'    'Woo-hoo'

"Are you guys celebrating?"...............'Party at the Inn.'

(At this time we heard harp sounds.)     A deep male voice:  'This door is open to everyone.   Good night.'

Then the box turned itself off.

        Sunday, May 15, Room 5, first session:

Chuck: "Harold, you know our cat Patches has passed away.   Is she a spirit here at the Inn now?".............'Yes.   She's here with me.'      Amanda: 'I play with her.   She follows me.'

"Does she jump on the beds like Josephine does?"...........'Not yet.  Give her time.  Needs energy.'

"Oh, okay.  Is General Ford here tonight?"..........'No'

"Hey, Harold, is your mother here tonight?".........'Yes, she's here.'

"Martha Jo, is Harold behaving himself?".............Woman: 'Always.   Don't make a big deal out of it.'

"Do you reside here all the time, or do you come and go?".............'Mostly all the time.   I've become skilled.'

"Skilled at what?  Do you help with the kids?"........'Kids'

"Does Harold try to get the kids in trouble and you try to keep them out of trouble"?............Harold: 'There's no harm in that.'         Ty: 'There's alot of people from town here.'

Guest: "Can spirits communicate to each other even though they speak different languages like Spanish, French, English..?"............Harold: '98 percent of the time, yes.'

Same guest: "And how do they communicate?  Voice?  With their minds?  How?".........'Through Tyler.'    

Chris: "She means in general, not just here.  Do they communicate through thought?"........Ty: 'If they are intelligent, yes.'

Different guest: 'I heard a big bang outside last night about 1:15am.  What was that sound?"........Harold: 'Vortex.   It was a blast.'

"It was really loud, it woke me up from a sound sleep.  Other people heard it too."...........'It was a residual sound.   It was a race to go through.'

Chuck: "Like a sonic boom?   The sound of energy?"...........'Yes, lots of energy, very fast.  Some people can hear it.   Good thing nobody got hurt.'

Guest: "Do spirits enjoy food or alcohol?".........Harold: 'No.  Not here.'       Bart: 'I wish.'

Chuck: "So there was a vortex that occurred outside the building, near Room 8, on the Inn property?"........'Yes.   Back yard.'

"Is it a regularly occurring vortex there?".........'No.  It was a gamble to try what they did.  Nobody got lost.  They were lucky.'

Chuck: "Who took the earrings in Room 7?"...........Amanda: 'It was Anna.'    Harold: 'Amanda.  They're safe now.'    

Guest: "Thank you for giving them back."..............Amanda: 'Sorry.  They were pretty.'

Chuck: "Thank you for bringing them back.  That was very nice of you."............Harold: 'She wants a medal for it.'

Guest: "They are my favorites."...............Amanda: 'I thought you were going to cry.  So I gave them back.'

Chris: "We're going to go now.  We'll have another group in a minute."............'Okay.'     Woman: 'Shut this off.'

       Second session:

Chris: "Ty are you there?"...........'Go'

Chuck: "Ty, a question for you.  Do you have a female technician assistant working with you?"..........Woman says 'That's twenty.'

Chris: "I think the earthbounds are arriving for the crossing.".............Woman: 'Up to thirty now.   Still coming in.'

Guest: "Lots of people come here on a full moon because they think the spirits are more active then.  Do you even know when it is a full moon?"................Harold: 'That's for the living.'

"What about the Super Moon activity.  Does that give you energy?"............Harold: 'I didn't even know it was happening.   I missed it.'           Ty: 'There's too many.   They want to cross now.'

Chris: "Do you want to do the crossing now?"...........Ty: 'They won't wait any longer.  They are going on now.'   

Many voices saying :'Thank you'    'Stay out of my way.'    'Leaving this house.'    'It's time now.'    'Let's go.'    and many of them saying their names as they go.     Over 2000 went to the Light.  We had to shut down so Chris could re-coop.   When we turned it back on, there were still 400 more to go.  One man asked who was in charge.  We told him Lewis was in charge of the crossing.  He said it was not very well organized and started cussing at Lewis and we had to turn it off again.    When we turned it back on again, things were alot calmer.

Guest: "Why can't they cross on their own?  Why do they wait till Chris is here with his box?"..........Harold: 'They want to be convinced to go."

Chris: "It's like they get a chance to go to the Light when they first pass, but if they don't go they are stuck here.  Then they have to be gathered and go as a group.  Lewis convinces them but they still need the living to tell them it's okay to go."   

Joy: "I think it is like going to an amusement park.  You know there will be roller coasters there.  But not everyone wants to ride the roller coasters, so they don't go.  Others can't wait to go and they go on their own.  Some need to be convinced that it will be okay and they need to be accompanied, then they go.  Others won't go no matter what.  Not everybody believes in Heaven and knows what the Light is.  They see it, but won't go unless somebody convinces them it will be okay.  Others go willingly.  Some are afraid of judgment and won't go no matter what."

Chuck: "Is Frederick Hancock here?"..............'Frederick.  Yes.'

"What do you think of the new addition on your house?"...........'I like it the old way.   I'm serious.'

"Do you let them know you are there?"...........'Confirmation.  Yes.'

"Do they know you are there?"............'I'm staying there.   Yes, they know.'

Chuck: "We have a picture of some kind of animal in front of the Inn.  Does anyone know what kind of animal that was?"...........Harold: 'It's a varmint.'

"But is it a cat?  On our side or your side?"............'Try trapping it.'

"Anybody else?"................'The water's going to rise this summer.'

"Is it going to flood?".............'High water.    Get ready for it.'

"Is it while we are on vacation in June?"..........'Maybe'

"Should we sandbag now?".............'Yes'    'It's going to be bad.'     'Up to the second floor!'

"Are you being serious or kidding us?"............Ty: 'They're kidding.    It'll be high but not to the second floor.'

"Is there anything we can do?"..........'Pray'     'Fast moving.'

"Is the reservoir going to break up at Des Moines?"...........'Bad'    'Something is continuing.'    'Fast moving.'      'Get your insurance.'     'Scary thing.'     'Be prepared.'

Chris: "Ty.  Do you know the source on this?"............'They're trying to be scary.'

Chuck: "Harold, are you buying this?"........'No way.'     He laughs.

"Did you get us Harold?"............'This isn't happening.'

Joy: "I have a question for Harold or whoever might have an answer.  When does a baby receive a soul?  At birth?  Before birth?"............Harold: 'When it takes its first breath.'

"So if a baby is miscarried or aborted, it never had a soul?"..........'Not yet.'

"So does the soul that the baby was supposed to have get another chance?"..........'Yes it does.'

"Thanks Harold.  Thanks Ty.  Thanks for your help."............'Bye'   

At this point we heard harp music playing.  A deep voice said 'You can't know that yet.'    Then the box turned itself off.

   (During June, the river came up to the road but did not reach the Inn.)
