The Night Train: Pioneer Page 4

charge of the sleeping cars. He would know where she was. He's always around the dining car or the sleeping cars. You can go back to the dining car to ask for him."

  Wanda and, Kim and Matt, went to the dining car. Waited a little since there was no one there when they arrived. Them a conductor came from the sleeping car and they found that he was Clyde. They explained to him that they would like Amy to join them. Clyde said he would go to her room tell her they would like to see her. He said they should wait there and he'll be back in a minute. The conductor left. They waited a few moments and Amy walked into the dining car.

  Wanda explained her concerns about the psychic energy on the train to Amy.

  After listening to Wanda, Amy said, "Why don't all of you come to my room. It’s a much quieter place to sit for a chat. They all went to Amy's car.

  Amy's sleeping car was the second one behind the dining car. Her room was the third one from the rear of the car.

  Wanda explained to Amy why she thought something suspicious was going on.

  Wanda told Amy the strangeness of the napkin floating and the cheese changing shape right after the train started. That this was her first feeling of the energy on the train.

  Amy spoke to Wanda saying, "I was eating here in the room right after we left Memphis. I saw a cheese stick change shape here on the table. It was kind of frightening, but I didn't think much about it. I have seen many things during my years. I don't put much stake in things like that anymore."

  After listening to Amy, Wanda is convinced that the lady, in the third car with the energy, caused the two cheese sticks to change shape and the napkin to levitate. Wanda is convinced this lady is Delores.

  Wanda asked Amy, "Is Delores on this train?"

  Amy, "No. Delores in in Memphis."

  Wanda asked, "Could she be on the train without you knowing it? Have you been around the train or have you been in and around the sleeping cars?"

  Amy thought and answered, "I've been around the sleeping car, the lounge, the dining car. That's about all."

  Wanda said, "There is a lady in the third coach car from the engine. She has psychic energy. I think she's Delores."

  Any, "I guess that's possible, but I don't know why she would be on this train."

  Wanda," I would like for you to walk with me to the car and see if it's Delores" You can stay in the car behind her and she shouldn't be able to see you."

  Amy, "If she's on this train I want to know about it."

  They both walked towards the front of the train. As they approach the dining car Amy looked through the car door window and saw Delores in the dining car.

  Amy said to Wanda, "That's Delores sitting right there. Lets go back to the room."

  They both returned to the sleeping car room.

  In the room, Amy explained more about the rumors of psychic abilities in their family," We're are from an old family and there have been rumor heard about these abilities in all the generations. Today Delores is the only one in the family has the rumor attached to her. Between Connie and me we cannot figure out why Delores has these rumors connected to her. We have seen nothing that shows Delores has psychic powers. But for some reason we have these feeling that there is something about her that is different."

  Wanda, "That's not unusual for someone, around a person who has the powers, to have these feelings. I would like to talk with Connie. Since she seems to be more connected with Delores. I think she could be helpful in figuring out what is going on."

  Amy, "You can chat with her on my computer. I'll get her and tell her what we're doing."

  Amy put her computer on the table and after a few clicks had Connie on. She explained to Connie what they were doing.

  Then she turned the computer to Wanda and said, "She said she would talk to you."

  Wanda sent the message, "Hello Connie. I'm Wanda. I'm here with Amy. I would like to hear just what happen at the séance you recently had."

  The message from Connie said, "We were in the back room. She did something. I don't know what it was. Then she turned down the lights. Then her look changed like she was staring into nothing. I thought for a second that there was someone else in the room. Then all at once she came out of the trance like state. Nothing else happen."

  Wanda sent the return message, "When you had the feeling of someone being there. There was someone there for that moment. The psychic was a fake and she did not know what was happening. So she came out of her faked state of being in contact with the other side. Who did you ask her to contact?"

  A message appeared on the screen," I asked her to contact Henry Majors my great-great-great-grandfather, the founder of the company."

  Wanda, "From what you are saying he was there, but because of the psychic, he stayed only for a moment."

  Wanda said to Amy, "What we need to do is have a séance to contact Henry Majors.'

  Amy, "I completely agree. Is there a place we should go to will it work in this room."

  Wanda, "If it works it will work in this room. We have to set up the right conditions. It needs to be dark but with some low light and we need some object that connects with the person on the other side."

  Amy, "I brought some candles with me in case there was an emergency. But I don't have anything that is connected to the other side."

  Wanda sat and thought a while and said, "Do you have the cheese?"

  Amy didn't know what she meant and asked, "The cheese?"

  Wanda, "The cheese you saw change shape this afternoon. It's somehow connected with the other side since some energy came from there which caused it to change."

  Amy thought and then pulled out a curved round shaped piece of cheese from the food container on her bed, "Yes. This is it."

  They put the end table in the center of the room. Stood three candles on it and placed the cheese in the center. They turned off the lights.

  Wanda sat and said nothing. Then she looked into emptiness. Then she spoke, "Henry Majors."

  A fog of white appeared in the room. It took the shape of a person. It took the shape of a female person. The female wore a dress of the 1920s.

  Wanda came out of the trance like state. Amy looked at the spirit and asked, "Lizzy?

  The spirit of Henry Majors wife ,Lizzy, spoke, "Yes. I saw you only a few times in life. I have seen you many times from the afterlife."

  Amy, "Are you really here?"

  Lizzy said, "I am as close to really here as I can be. I was with Connie but only for a moment."

  Lizzy paused for a moment then continued, "I heard the voice of Connie calling. I went to Mapleville. But the medium was blocking the communication, as many do, when they only think they can communicate, but cannot. From Connie I saw her concern that Delores would use her powers to get the families wealth. So I went with you to Memphis and watched as Delores plan unfolded. She will switch papers. Then she will appear like Connie. And you are to unknowingly sign over the family wealth to her instead of Connie."

  Lizzy continued, "I was with you when you boarded the train."

  Lizzy turned and started talking to Wanda, "Then I saw you on the train and recognized your powers. To contact you I made the napkin float, above the table."

  Lizzy continued speaking as turning, "Then to contact both of you I made the cheese change at the same time."

  The plan was made between the three that they will allow Delores to switch the papers. Then she will be allowed to take that appearance of Connie and come to Amy's room. Where Wanda will cause Delores to hallucinate that Amy signs the papers.

  Wanda and Matt and Kim remained in the car until Wanda senses her psychic power increasing. Wanda and Matt and Kim saw the papers appeared as they came through the door and went to the table with real papers. The real papers lifted up, floated to the door, and disappeared through it. They opened the door and watched the real papers as they floated down the hallway towards the front of the car and turn out of sight. After telling Amy not to sign the papers, Wanda left the room. Matt and Kim followed her
. They went to the rear of the sleeping car hallway and watched as Delores came around the corner. Then as she walked down the hallway she changed into Connie. Connie knocked on the door. Amy invited her in. Connie opened the door an entered the sleeping room.

  Wanda entered the next rear sleeping car. Matt and Kim followed. Wanda went into a stare into emptiness. Matt and Kim keep quiet and watched. Then Wanda immediately came out of the stare.

  She appeared frightened and said to Kim, "It's not working."

  Wanda pushed the train doors open and ran to Amy sleeping car. Kim and then Matt ran behind her. As Wanda turned into the hallway she saw Delores turn toward the door at the forward end of the hallway. She had the papers with her.

  Wanda blurted, "Oh! No!"

  And ran to Amy's room door. Kim and then Matt ran behind her.

  Wanda opened the room door. She saw Amy calmly seated in the chair beside the bed. Kim and Matt were at the door.

  Wanda, "What Happen?"

  Amy calmly replied, "Just what you said she thinks that I have signed the papers."

  Wanda, "It never worked!"

  Amy held up her copy of the papers, "It worked." Wanda looked at the paper and saw no signature on Amy's copy. Wanda stood speechless.

  Amy calmly said, "This family has had powers for five generations. They remain in the family. After you understand the powers, you hide the powers. Only the ones that find their powers, and don't understand them, show the powers."

  Wanda sat on the bed. Matt and Kim heard none of the discussion between Amy and Wanda. For them, Wanda entered the room, Amy showed her the
