Shadows On My Shift
Real Life Stories of a Psychic EMT
by Sherri Lee Devereau
|
From Chapter 1
It's two in the morning, and I'm standing in the middle of a freeway. Sirens are blaring, red and blue lights flashing and reflecting back to blind me. A helicopter overhead, with its spotlight shining upon a scene of twisted metal and mayhem, seems far too surreal at this hour of the morning. I hear the captain barking commands to the firefighters as they cut, rip and tear a car apart. Medics stand by with lifesaving equipment....they'll be too late to save this person.
As I stand in the middle of the freeway, in the middle of the night, in the middle of chaos, I feel a calm slowly creep around me. This feeling is usually followed immediately by confusion and fear. I begin to sense another presence approach me. I seem to intuitively know it is the deceased driver of the mangled car that scattered across the freeway. I try to communicate with the driver, whom I now feel very near me, by opening and heightening my sense of awareness. I tune in to him, and as I make that psychic connection I tell him he has a choice to make. He can either get back into his body or go towards the light and love that will soon beckon to him. Those are his choices, as I know them to be.
I instinctively feel his confusion and his fear. I can sense he's not sure what's happening to him. His energy seems to keep coming back toward me. I explain to him that he died in a car accident. His energy seems to be still for a moment, and I feel his acceptance of what I've told him. He lets me know that he feels a pull to go toward the light because he hears his Dad, who died last year, calling to him. He wants me to tell his mother that he was wearing his seatbelt and that he loves her. I make a mental note of his request and tell him that I'll make sure his mother knows....
As the accident is being cleared, a police officer approaches and asks if we will assist in delivering the death notification. This will be his first one, and he heard we were real pros at this kind of thing.... We inform the alarm dispatch room that we're moving to another location to deliver a death notification. I can hear it in their voices - they don't envy me right now. Although I've done hundreds of these kinds of calls over the years, it never gets easier.
The sun has just broken free of the horizon, and as it begins to rise it heats the early morning air. As we approach the front door of an older, ranch-style home, we let the officer take the lead. I stand behind the officer with my partner behind me as the officer knocks on the door. A woman still in her bathrobe answers. I get the distinct feeling she wasn't prepared for the three of us so early in the morning. She stands still for a moment, not knowing if she wants to greet us or shut the door on us.
I nudge the officer from behind and he introduces all of us. I ask if we could come inside for a moment to talk to her. It takes a moment for her to realize that this isn't a social visit. She pales a bit, her hand shakes as she opens the door to invite us into her lovely home. The first thing I notice upon entering is the large number of pictures on the walls. We all take a seat in the living room, and the officer begins to ask the lady a few basic questions to make sure we're at the right location. Unfortunately for this woman, we are.
As the officer continues with his questions, I take a moment to look around. I see a familiar face hanging on the wall, and as I make that mental connection, I feel that cool burst of air mixed with energy again. I double check to make sure the air conditioning didn’t kick on or that I'm not near some sort of breeze. Once I rule that out, I can safely assume that the young driver is here with us, watching, sending his love out to his mother. The officer clears his throat and starts to say why he's there, but he stops, looks to me, his eyes plead for me to step in and take over. I feel the cool flow of energy swirl around me even more now as I prepare to deliver my speech.
"My name is Sherri. I'm with the Phoenix Fire Department. I'm sorry to inform you that your son has died." |

Well, Eric and I have been to a few concerts this summer so far and we are having a great time. I know I am suppose to be writing my new book and that I just spent a week in Florida sea shell hunting and avoiding the sun but heck..... a girl has to have fun!
On July 19th we went to Milwaukee WI to the Crue Fest to hear Motley Crue. Other bands playing were Sixx:AM with Nikki Sixx, Buckcherry, Poppa Roach and Trapt. Loved the concert and we had great seats. Poppa Roach was my favorite. He came down into the crowd and was very interactive with the crowd of crazed concert goers. Nikki Sixx also came through the crowd when he was done playing as well with his first band. A few other members did the same.
This past weekend, Aug 2nd, we went to another concert in Greenville WI. Never heard of the town? Not surprising. It is next to the town I live in and may have about 2,000 people in it if you count people passing through. This concert was the Poison concert. Hair bands are making a come back ya know, eh? What a great concert. One of my favorite ones to date. It was a sold out concert and the population of the whole County doubled, lol.
Eric and I were front row, just off center stage. Bands that played were Sabastian Bach, Tesla, and Poison. I always seem to pick the non-lead band as a favorite of the concert these days. I liked SB a lot. Great performance. Lead singer needs to just cool it a bit and not be so uptight. Seems he was unhappy with the sound quality of his mic but hell, this was a loud ass rock concert, it was baking hot and humid, the sun was a rarity and shinning down strong and all of that added to a bunch of very drunk people before the concert even started.
No one really goes to a concert to come home to say - 'you know that first band just did not have the same quality sound as the main band'. Heck, most of us just go to jam to music we love and do not expect perfection. Sending out stress signals like that while on stage is just one way to get energy from people. Nuff said.
After the concert, Eric and I met up with a few members of the Sebastian Bach band. Metal Mike, the lead guitarist, was a great guy. What a sweetheart, scary as hell looking on stage, but a softy when I met him. I also met up with two other band members - Rob & Johnnie. Great bunch of guys with some great energy even after a hot ass sweaty concert. Mike has a great website - www.MetalMike.net. Check it out. I will post soe of my concert pics here soon. Enjoy the book guys. Hope to run into you all again soon. Rock on.
Both of our birthdays are coming up soon. Eric's is on the 8th so it will be 08-08-08. Pretty cool and I still have no idea what to get the man. My day is the 15th. I am sure he has no idea what to get for me either. If you have an ideas email them to me.

Well, August is almost over and tonight we are off to go see Alice Cooper. So much has happened this month. We are now both self-employed and planning to lead the life of Gypsy's. Since I have a bit of the gypsy blood of the Romany in me it seems only fitting. We are going to buy a leather crafting business and start traveling. To see our creative endeavors please go to www.PsyArk.com.
Eric is going to start leather crafting and I am going to continue my readings and stone jewelry making. We will start going to the Ren Faires, re-enactments, biker fests, and craft fairs. We will keep you posted on our new adventures.

The weather is starting to get very cool now and the days a bit shorter. Winter is close and I feel a hibernation feeling settling over me. Guess it is time to start thinking on those new books. I still have plans to do a book on the subject of the six classes I teach. I would also like to start a cold case book on the cases I have worked to date. But my grandaughter wants me to write a book for her so I think I came up with an idea. Since Mercedes, my dog, had such a hard time last year adjusting to snow after living in the desert for 8 years I have more than a few funny stories to tell. My grandkids laugh at the stories and so I have a few ideas as to a kids book about that first winter in snow. Stay tuned.
Eric and I have started a new company www.PsyArk.com. We are doing the Craft Fairs and Ren Faires selling our leather wares. Check us out and get in an order before the holiday deadline.

Well, it is still snowing here in WI and I am feeling like hibernation may be my only option to get me through the grey days of winter. I have had some great radio shows this month for gift giving ideas and so many great companies have participated this year. My thanks to all who sent gifts for the shows.
This morning as I watched it snow, my obsessive-compulsive neighbor decided to go after a snowmobiler with his heavy, metal shovel. I heard yelling outside so I peeked out the window to see the guy next door in the middle of the street raising his huge metal shovel at and threatening a poor startled young man on a snowmobile. I am not sure what was really go on but the neighbor has lost his mind in my opinion. After all, I feel he may have thought the snowmobiler was going too fast down 'his' street and maybe wanted to enforce his rules. But where the hell was his mind this past Sunday at 6:15am when he was outside with his dang snowblower waking up the whole building I live in? He even had to make a path in the front of his house right up close to my window for absolutly NO reason. He then finished about 30 minutes later, after doing the street in front of his house and mine cause I guess he could not wait for the snowplow. He then came back out at 8:00am to blow more snow, maybe a whole 1/4" of accumulation. Not that he did all of this to go any where but just to be OCD with the snow.
I am sure he will get his someday and I hope to be around when it happens.
Another thought has come to my mind after seeing a news story on the internet last week. The Supreme Court of CA has decided that a person can sue a good samaritan who tried to assist them after a severe car accident. I am watching that closely and getting ready to sell all of my emergency medical equipment because what if I decided to assist someone and they decided to sue me? What is this world coming to that we are suing everyone around us and making it so hard for people to reach out and assist each other? Just a thought.
Let me here your thoughts on this subject. Would you stop and help someone if you thought they could sue you and take your whole life away?
