A psychic has spoken of how seeing the soul of her friend's dead hamster rising from its body has led to her hearing messages from dead animals. Helen Ellwood, 64, a trained occupational therapist, has said after a sceptical early life she found an unspecified faith in an afterlife, describing herself as "slightly psychic".
She says she has experienced other paranormal activity including dreams of events unfolding that she was not yet aware of and visits from angels, including after collapsing from heart failure in 2019. Helen, who has written a book, Love, Death and Beyond, about her experiences, told Derbyshire Live: “We all wonder where our pets go when they die and whether we'll ever see them again. As a youngster, I would have said they go nowhere. I was sceptical of everything spiritual and terrified of death.
“There were no angels to take care of us and heaven was a fairy tale. That all changed when my friend's hamster, Beryl, died in my hands. Seeing her soul rise from her body changed everything.
