spiritualism real?

My mother, who lives in Kent, was having her hair done a few years ago, when the hairdresser was trying to convince her that she could contact people on "the other side". The hairdresser was adamant that someone called Jack was trying to contact someone in the salon. Jack being a very common name for men in my mother's age group, my mother thought the name had been picked to increase the chances of a customer having a dead relative called Jack, so she just politely said that she did not know any one of that name. However, when she got home she found that my Uncle Jack had died that morning. As Uncle Jack, like the rest of the family, lived in Cumberland, the hairdresser would have known nothing of him or his demise. Quite a coincidence! Janet
