Grieving Family Turns To Psychic Medium For Help
Recently reported by tvnz.co.nz/national-news, a grieving family turn to psychic for help. The New Zealand family torn apart by the death of their daughter has turned to medium Kelvin Cruickshank for help.
On December 4 last year, 20-year-old Samantha Henderson was killed after her defacto partner Justin Goldstone pointed a loaded, sawn-off shotgun at her face as he posed for photographs.
Twenty-one-year-old Goldstone was sentenced to three years and four months in prison for her manslaughter.
Goldstone has remained tight lipped on the events of that fateful night and so the family turned to Cruickshank in order to gain some closure. They are grappling with the fact Samantha could die at the hands of her partner and say some of the facts do not add up.
“All along I’ve struggled with how someone could be that stupid to have a loaded gun and point it at someone then physically pull the trigger,” says Samantha’s father, Dave.
They picked Cruickshank to help, as Samantha’s mother, Rachel, says out of the psychics they have seen “he was the one that was always so bang on”.
When Cruickshank made contact with Samantha’s spirit she sent a happy birthday message through Cruickshank to her mum. But it was her use of a nickname no-one outside of their family knows that turned Dave from a sceptic into a believer.
She bought the name “Pixie” in, which Rachel says is a name Samantha and Dave used to call her because of her ears.
“There was only Sam and Dave that knew that, so there was no way that he could have known that,” Rachel says.
This gave them confidence to believe the other information Cruickshank gave them about the day Samantha died.
Cruickshank said he got the feeling through Samantha’s spirit that Goldstone was on drugs at the time.
“He’s on something, there’s got to be some sort of reference to him being stoned or wasted or whatever and he snaps just like an owner of a dog to an animal. I can tell you he was high, high as a kite,” Cruickshank said.
Goldstone refused a toxicology test.
Dave said the reference to drugs made sense to him and actually gave him a little bit of peace of mind.
Cruickshank also said Samantha told him “with intent”.
However, there was never any evidence of intent, which is why Goldstone was charged with manslaughter, not murder.
Cruickshank said Samantha let him know she did not suffer, which Rachel said is the best she could hope for.
Samantha also expressed that she wants her daughter Hope to be with her parents.
As for those who say the family are silly for believing Cruickshank, Rachel says she does not care.
“I didn’t do this for everybody else or for anyone else to have an opinion.
“I did this for me and for Dave and for our kids, just to give us a sense of peace,” says Rachel.
The medium Kelvin Cruickshank was born in a small town on New Zealand’s North Island, and claims that from an early age he was aware of his psychic abilities because he could see people that other children could not. When he reached adulthood the visitors became harder to ignore and Kelvin realized that these visitors had messages which were meant to be delivered to others.
