I'd love to ask my Great Grandfather why he abandoned his family and ran away to sea, and what really happened when he drowned - did he really get washed overboard or was he pushed :shock:

So many questions - and all my "dead people" have all the answers :lol:

I was at a show with Derek Acorah a few months ago when he was in Aberdeen. I was hoping one of the dead ones would come through and tell me where to look next. Or why James McDonald abandoned his wife and child in the poorhouse and left the rest of his children with grandparents. Sadly no one came through for me. :(

That is so funny, my son also says Mum is off in the study with her dead folks, no bairn either he is 30.

I am going to a Tony Stockwell show in September, I have decided it might be the only way to find out what happened to my grandfather but knowing my luck all I will get is my beloved grandmother giving me a telling off for looking for him. [-X [-X [-X [-X
