Footsteps From Beyond
by Lani George
Let me start with the background to this story. On June 17, 2004, the best man to my husband and me, and also the godfather to our older daughter, died suddenly of a massive heart attack. The funeral took place seven days later, delayed because “Tommy” (Thanassi) had a brother still in Greece who needed time to make flight arrangements to attend.
Three days after the death, but before the funeral, I woke up in the middle of the night and heard the distinct sound of a man’s footsteps in our kitchen. The footsteps could be heard walking around the kitchen and the dining area on the linoleum. I also heard the footsteps walk around the living room a bit on the carpet.
I didn’t feel threatened at the time, but I also did not feel a need to go “look” either. (Unlike in the movies, where characters always seem to go into the darndest places and situations.) I also knew the source of the sound was not a human intruder, because my 70 lb. German Shorthaired Pointer, Lucky, would have been barking up a storm. After about 5 minutes, the footsteps stopped and I went back to sleep.
Nothing more happened until October 28, 2004, the day before my birthday. That night, at 2:30 am, I heard the footsteps again. This time they lasted about 10 minutes, and stayed in the kitchen/dining area. (I have a very small house and can hear the short distance from my bedroom to the kitchen.)

Ordinarily, I would have been just mystified. I even wondered if I could have imagined it all. But instead of wondering, I formulated the following cue: “Lani George / Sound of footsteps heard at 2:30 am on October 28, 2004 / Source.” I put it into my ‘blind’ target pile (where it still is, waiting to be drawn) and also sent it to a friend of mine who is an excellent TRV’er, Jonathan Churcher. I only told him the TRN’s. He had no knowledge of the nature of the target.
Here is some of the data he retrieved from the target site.
He sensed these emotions at the target site: cautious, eager, staggered, concerned, calm, curious, undaunted, excited, queasy and sorry. His own reactions to the target included: sensitive, brave, courageous, receptive, besieged, argumentative, satisfied, open-minded and enthused.
These feelings are fairly descriptive of my own reaction to the event, although it may be wishful thinking to consider myself brave and courageous since I probably would have been in a panic had those footsteps started coming down the hall!
Jonathan then got data that seemed to describe a separation, which could be the physical separation I and our 2 girls have from my husband, who is in Iraq. This data included: partnership, sharing, devotion, coping, estranged, giving it all you’ve got, independence and family.
As he moved through the session, his data seemed to focus more and more strongly on the phenomena itself. Here are some of the ideas that came out, along with some AOL’s declared along the way: “like a well-known person,” “like a counselor,” “trying so hard to understand,” “setting a precedent,” “like a revelation” (AOL: out of the ordinary, Fatima, special, a mom), simple, powerful, discovering new things, like breathing again, like coming of age, a congregation, faith, vitality (AOL: looking out for him, forces, many grateful blessings, parents), a direct link, personal, meaningful only to you, like a high point along the way, worship, tidying things up to make a new start, I was going to do it anyway and then it just happened, like a weight has dropped off the shoulders, Q.-what would he say to you? A.- see you later!, settling family differences, counting the blessings, plotting the course of it, like a work of art, BROADCAST, the power to build, it feels like new training, like they ask what you want, HEAR IT!, PROOF!, not satisfied till you hear the truth, you have got a piece of it now so use it to the best of your ability, like a visitation.

In addition, Jonathan emailed me this information: I drew an S6 of a spirit figure reaching out to touch you. In another S6 I got you with ‘vibes’, like telepathic waves of Christian crosses beaming down to you from the sky. The whole session was ‘inspired’ and I was sure it was of a spiritual nature and was not surprised to see what kind of cue it as.
I cannot say for sure that my visit was from Tommy. But I can say that if you asked him what he would say to someone, “See you later!” would be absolutely typical, along with a big grin, a laugh and all with a thick Greek accent. I am also sure he was caught by surprise with his heart attack. Everyone, including he, thought his wife would go first as her health is quite poor. So the idea of “I was going to do it anyway and then it just happened” resonated with me when I saw it.
The most important thing to me about this session was knowing that I was neither imagining those footsteps nor was the source of those footsteps anything ominous or dangerous. It is comforting to know that whatever this phenomenon is, it is a good thing. I would never have known this without TRV. I am looking forward to drawing this from my own blind pile and learning more, as I believe there is much more to be learned.
