She confused some of the things she had seen in the vision including the wrong town yet the right street name and the wrong relative. The psychic thought she was watching her sister’s death but as fate would have it she witnessed, by way of this incredible vision, the murder of her cousin who looked very much like her sister. The psychic watched by way of this horrid vision: a tall strong blond haired man run up behind her cousin who was out running, grab her, snap her neck, stab her and throw her to the side of the road. He covered her up with beach grass and reeds and quickly ran away.

This case is very hard for the family involved. The family members are fully aware of the gifts this family psychic possesses. They understand this woman’s gifts are not to be denied yet of a nature no one will believe unless her visions included them!

When the body of this family’s cousin was found on the street the psychic saw in her vision the family knew at once she had been murdered by the man seen in the family psychics vision.

Of course the police would not entertain the idea and closed the case as that of a natural death. The fact that few young strong healthy women, who while out running, drag themselves to the side of the road into a swamp, cover themselves up with reeds and beach grass, before dying from a natural cause- never seemed a stretch for the authorities who handled this case.

To be fair to the law enforcement people enough time had passed before the body was found of the murdered girl to leave anything to build a case with or investigate. The only evidence of foul play was the psychic’s vision, which of course would not be considered by the law enforcement people investigating the discovery of the body.

The psychic’s family is a large one consisting of many members living in the town where this sad incident occurred. Like many towns on the coasts of the Long Island area people tend to know most of the people who are town residents.

Also a fact in this area is that most towns and villages across the coasts of Long Island have local town or village associations. The people living in the assorted towns use the associations for civic programs, and projects to charity events and social gatherings. That is where it took place. At one of the social town association parties that took place the summer after the murdered cousins body was found.

One of the psychic’s family members who was fully aware of the horrid murder and vision that ended in the death of one of the family’s members was attending her local towns association Spring Fling Dance.

The last thing she had on her mind was the sorrowful death of her cousin the year before. She was out with her husband for a night of fun with her friends and neighbors. The night was clear and the Spring Fling was being held on a huge covered veranda facing the Great South Bay. It was a lovely night filled with happy faces and laughter.

This family member had been standing with her husband talking to friends when she began to pick up a few words from the conversation behind her of a small group of people from the village in which they all lived. She was drawn to what they were saying when she heard her murdered cousins name brought up a few times by the group. She moved a bit closer to the group of people to hear the conversation.

They were standing in a closed circle talking so that that she could not see who was speaking. She heard a man talking in an off-handed way about her late cousin. He was saying horrid things about her. He rolled off insult after insult about the dead girl including that she was wild, had multiple lovers in town, had a drinking AND drug problem and on and on. The thing about this is that none of what he was saying was true.

The family member pushed her way into the crowd to see who was saying these terrible things about her dead cousin. As she wiggled her way into the group of fellow town residents she was finally able to see this vicious speaker. There before her stood this tall blond man who had on a sweatshirt indicating he belonged to the towns running club. The moment she laid her eyes upon him she knew she was looking at the man in the family psychics vision. She was looking at the man who murdered her cousin.

She did not know what to do. He was continuing on with his list of unpleasant remarks concerning her dead relative. Finally she found her voice and in a soft but strong tone said to him:” How did you come to know all these things about the deceased?” He looked over his shoulder at her and replied in a slightly annoyed manner- “It was in all the papers at the time”. He kept talking when again low and slow the relative said to him sternly this time “NO, - none of the things you are saying were in any of the papers at the time and none of what your saying is true.”

Now everyone in the group was looking at this woman and the man. He stood motionless for a few seconds stunned that he was being confronted and far more stunned that anyone would figure out his game. He glared at her for a while. He got hold of his composure as the family member and this man stood staring at each other and simply said- “Oh I must have confused her with another case.” The woman now filled with rage snapped at him “Yes I think you have and would appreciate you not saying things like that again about a perfectly lovely nice woman who was murdered by some living walking scum”.

The room now stood silent, as the two people were the attention of everyone at the party. The woman’s husband who caught the end of the conversation between his wife and this man quickly figured out what was going on as he too realized how perfectly this man fitted the description of the man who killed the murdered cousin the year before. Stunned by the entire event and not sure exactly what to do the only thing the husband wanted was to remove his wife from this awkward scene. He wrapped his arm around her as they made their way across the party to leave.

The party quickly returned its attention to the festive night and the group of people standing together during this exchange broke apart and wandered off to other parts of the room. Her husband escorted the woman out of the party where she immediately became hysterical and angry. They knew that the man could very well be the one who killed their cousin yet they also knew they had nothing that could prove it.

The story becomes even more frustrating for this family when they learned that this man was only a summer time visitor who shortly after this event decided to cancel his rental for that season. To date they have not been able to track down his where abouts but word has it they will never stop trying nor will they stop wanting justice, one way or another. I believe this part of this story will also remain unknown!

The woman in this family who has the psychic abilities continues to center her gifts to benefit and protect her blood relatives. The psychic recently had a vision that this time was in time and did stop a tragic event from happening.

The psychic’s sister has a daughter who recently got married. The young bride lives with her husband in a condo complex on the edge of town. It is a large complex that consists of connected town houses and parking lots arranged around big open lawns. It is new and often during the day deserted.

One afternoon the psychic was home with her husband having coffee and watching the news on the TV in their living room when all of a sudden the psychic dropped her cup on the floor and stood straight up looking as if she had just been shot!

She stood there frozen as her husband tried to call her name and snap his fingers in her face to get her back to this reality. She shook her head and immediately in absolute panic started to yell for him to get the phone. She began to scream at him to call the police, call the newly married niece and to get in the car and drive as fast as he could to her new condo. Her husband shook her and demanded for her to calm down and tell him what was going on. The psychic told him she clearly saw her niece standing in the living room of her new condo with a strange man who was going to rape and then kill her if they did not stop it. She pleaded with her husband to leave at once and speed over to the condo while she called the girl and then if needed the police. She told her husband if he went right now and got there quickly he could stop it.

Knowing his wife’s gifts were real the man grabbed his car keys and headed for the door yelling to her to call the girl and the cops if someone was there.

The psychic called her niece who answered the phone sounding a bit shaken. She did not say hello or any of the usual banter when calling a loved one – she got right to it. “ Is there a man you do not know in the house with you?” The girl replied in a meek voice “yes” the psychic told the girl to tell him it is her husband on the phone saying he is just about to pull into the complex. The psychic could hear the girl do as she was told and then she explained to the girl that her uncle (the psychics husband) would be there any second and that she was going to hang up and call the police. She also told the girl to try to make her way to her front door and to get outside of the house if she could or at least unlock the front door.

The psychic called the police and reported an ongoing break in knowing that it would get them to respond quickly. Within seconds of hanging up the phone the man in the girls condo became agitated and aggressive towards her. She was struggling in her living room with the man when the psychic’s husband arrived. The girl was not able to unlock the front door open. When the uncle arrived and peered into the front window he saw the girl fighting with the man and immediately broke the large living room window to enter the home.

The man attacking the girl was startled which gave the uncle the advantage of landing a few fast punches that subdued the man enough for both the girl and uncle to hold him down until the police arrived.

It was soon learned that this man was going to all the new developed complexes like this young couples and ringing doorbells until he found a woman alone. He then proclaimed to be part of the complex building and up keep department and would talk himself into the apartments or condos where he would then go about his business of attacking the women.

The psychic was right on and right on time this time. The man was arrested and the only real harm for this family was one large broken window.

I realize there are many people out there who do not believe in psychic ability. I think this may be one of those areas you need to experience first hand to accept.

I also know there are a flood of people who play the psychic game and continue on with the ridiculous parlor tricks of ‘is there someone with the letter J in your life’ silliness. I understand all of this and I also find those people annoying and really in need of something worthwhile to do in life.

However- I know this family. I watched with awe the ability of this psychic over the years and frankly have only known of a few others who share this wonder often-torturous gift of foresight.

I have seen her tell others not sort of or maybe but the exact names of and events around them to be wary of. Her gift is something she tries to live with and does not want to use it for the sake of entertainment or money. She fears it would be taken away or made into a monster she could not control if she used it for anything other than the protection of those in her visions.

I do not know how or why she is able to do what she does. I do not know how she can travel in her mind to other places and watch events she is nowhere near but she does it.

I imagine there are many people out there with similar gifts. Maybe we are all able to do this but have not learned how to turn that part of our brains on and they have. Maybe it is a gift given to certain people for a specific reason we do not understand. Maybe she is different from the rest of us somehow or maybe just a step up the evolutionary ladder to what we may all become.

I do not know any of the answers to these real and powerful psychic gifts. All I do know is if this lady ever calls me and tells me to do or not do something I will be all ears!

For now, this family and what has happened to them has been another step for me into the place we call the unknown.
