2:30 Kylie Holmes
Who on earth is that imaginary friend your child talks about?
And talks to? A figment of a creative and fertile imagination? But what if this friend is something we don’t yet have a word for. A ghost? A Spirit Guide? An ancestor wanting to reach out to this sensitive and receptive child? Recent research indicates that there is a strong possibility that imaginary friends could be a relative who passed away before the child was born.
Some people dismiss the spirit world as jiggery-pokery. Others wait in the firm belief that loved ones who have passed over will be in contact. Mediums, sensitives and their clients have evidence that the door to spirit contact can sometimes remain open into adulthood.
Kylie Holmes is a Writer, an Intuitive Angel Therapist, Reiki Master and Past Life Regression Therapist.

Seasons and moods, landscapes both urban and pastoral, characters from present, past and future—poetry can encompass all of these and more, in all manner of styles and language. Drawing on his own work and that of other writers, poet and author Michael W. Thomas will explore the visions, worlds and experiences that poetry can contain.
Michael W. Thomas lived in Canada and is now based in Worcestershire. His poetry, prose and drama have been published in Britain, Europe and America, including The Antioch Review, Stand Magazine, Other Poetry and Irish University Review. His latest poetry collection, Port Winston Mulberry, is forthcoming from Peterloo; his novel, The Mercury Annual, is published by Silver Age.
