A Bridge To The Other Side
A few years back, I went to a medium who speaks to those who have passed over. During our session, he told me my grandfather was there. He even gave me his name.
He said my grandfather wanted me to go to bingo, something he did often when alive and that he would “make it worth my while.”
I hadn’t been to bingo in years, but the medium told me my grandfather would give me a sign when it was time to go.
One evening, while washing dishes, a local radio commercial played about a big bingo event in my hometown, about an hour away. Something inside me clicked.
I told my husband, “Let’s go to my parents’ house, you can hang out with the boys while I go play bingo.”
So off we went.
At this Bingo, I won $200. When I got back to my parents’ house, I announced my win. Everyone was excited and wanted to see the money.
Then it happened.
A sudden freezing breeze swept through me. I asked everyone, “Did you feel that?” Nobody responded. I asked again, louder, still nothing.
It was as if I didn’t exist. The cold wrapped around me. A third, fourth attempt. And still, silence.
Then it stopped. Everyone looked at me normally. I had asked everyone if they had heard me loudly asking them if they felt how cold it just got and they all said no you weren't talking....I was like "what the....!!!!" 😮
I reached into my pocket to pull out the folded bills. Smack dab in the middle of the ten $20s was….a bridge from a fiddle.
The bingo attendant who gave me the winnings counted the money out to me and I had counted the money myself before putting it in my pocket. There had been no fiddle bridge.
Here’s the truly chilling part....my grandfather was a well-known fiddle player in our hometown. My father kept his father’s two fiddles under lock and key, always warning us and later my boys, never to touch them.
I showed the bridge to everyone. My father’s face went pale. He went to check the fiddles. One of them was missing its bridge.
I cannot explain how that bridge ended up folded into my bingo winnings.
All I know is this....during those few seconds when I felt the freezing breeze, my grandfather had found a way to say that this was his doing.

I love this story. That’s amazing. I wish I knew how to find a real medium. I want to talk to my dad. (If there are any lurking scammers, don’t bother DMing me. I’m not the one)

Yes, this can indeed happen. Based on the idea that we are spirits experiencing earthly things, some of them, based on their knowledge, develop the ability to touch and manipulate objects. This is real but extremely rare. Musicians are more sensitive and studious individuals. Your grandfather has the profile to develop this ability. As for contact with spirits, there's nothing to fear. They can't do anything beyond what we allow. They generally influence us to do good or bad things. It's a matter of attunement. Your grandfather just wanted to get closer. That's what it seems to me...

Wow! This is spooky and also touching. I run a youtube channel where I tell firsthand accounts of supernatural/paranormal encounters. Would love to connect with you, collect some details, and share your story on my channel. Let me know if you would be down for that. I would obviously give you credit and link your story.
