I had the privilege of spending the Labor Day weekend on
the Oregon Coast. The weather was
beautiful, the location was stunning and included long beaches where I could
walk for miles. And not only were the
living present, but so where the representatives of the past.
As I looked at the deck, I could see one or two men in
the tattered remains of their clothes. One of the men might have been dead. The other man was still alive, but
barely. He had obviously been in the hot
sun with no food or water for some time.
It appeared that most of the people who had been on board had died and
were no longer on the ship. I think they
had been thrown overboard. I had a vague
sense of a couple of women coming up from below decks, also very tattered
clothing, dirty and bedraggled, but seemingly with a little more life left in
them.
Behind this ship and a little bit further out to sea, I
saw another ship with sails up. Officers
in blue coats. It looked like they were
in pursuit of the derelict ship. This looked
like a search and rescue, not a chase of a pirate ship or naval battle. The picture was static and didn’t show the
ships meeting up. It was clear though
that the search ship had seen the stranded one.
The other ship I saw was right off the point of the
mountain reaching into the sea. It
seemed to be sinking stern first. I
didn’t get a look at the people on board.
And, I saw a ship close in with men rowing a boat from it
with a chest. Could it be pirate
treasure???
Seeing all of these things psychically is a wonderful
experience, but could there be anything know of the areas history that could
validate what I saw? Possibly.
Pirates often raided the Spanish galleons plying the
waters of the Pacific. And yes, the
pirates and the galleons did come well up the Oregon Coast as they followed the
currents and prevailing winds. Sir
Francis Drake was one of the pirates, working for Queen Elizabeth the
first. He is reported to have come as
far north of the Columbia River looking for the Northwest Passage before storms
forced him to turn around. He also is credited
with founding a town site on the Oregon Coast for England. Unfortunately the exact location has been
lost. It’s too bad that I didn’t get a
chance to ask him when I saw him briefly as I sat in his favorite pub in
Exeter.
One of the pirate stories from Native American legend of
the area is of a ship anchoring and men rowing a small boat to shore and
carrying a big chest up onto the mountain.
They had a tall black slave with them and after he dug the hole to bury
the treasure, they killed him and buried him on top of the chest to keep the
local people from digging it up.
Another story is that a ship carrying the very valuable
cargo of beeswax wrecked right about where that mountain is – where I saw the
wreck. The local tribes, then settlers,
and even more recent visitors have found beeswax on the beach.
There are also historical records of expeditions being
lost, small flotillas separating with rescue ships sent out in search. The historical records do talk about ships
being found in the condition of the derelict I saw, with few if any people on
board. Sometimes all on board were
dead. Sometimes a couple of survivors
would be on board nearing death.
Part of what we look for when having a psychic experience
is the history or legends of the area to see if there is anything that might
back up what the psychic saw. This is
part of how we can give credibility to the reading. In this case, the history does seem to back
up my psychic readings. I’m grateful for
that.
Readings such of this of events taking place in the ocean
bring up another question. Does that
vast body of water and minerals, full of life and currents, assist in the
storing and revealing of paranormal events?
Is it in a sense a record of the past?
I’ve talked about my theories as to what human based paranormal
beings and phenomena are. Mostly, in my experience
and understanding they are energy records, even those that are intelligent and
interactive. Occasionally they are
visiting souls or even less often they might be a soul that chooses to hang out
here most of the time during this stage of their between life stage. They are not trapped souls.
That being said, it makes sense to me that the oceans of
the world would be excellent conductors of paranormal energy and activity. With the salt, mineral content and activity
of the water, the ocean seems to be a vast battery in a sense that could store
the energy released in life, and store it for others who can read the energy to
see.
