Hampton Court Palace

With Terry O’Sullivan

Written by Phillip Jones

 

The work begins

It was a very gloomy overcast day, this contributed greatly to the rather heavy for bidding atmosphere that covered the whole day. After meeting up in the Tiltyard Café, Terry told us after a little while he felt the presence of the Elemental who was in charge of the land surrounding Hampton Court, he had hold of Cardinal Wolsey by the scruff of the neck.

Terry was told: the key word in our work today would be Justice”. The last ten minutes in the café I had been feeling out of breath and a bit sick. Leaving the café I still felt unable to breathe properly . I asked David for some help(knowing he had a particular resonance with elementals and how to deal with them). In a quiet spot outside the café he released a huge elemental that had been on my chest and another smaller one around my shoulders and back. This was a great release for me as I’d been really unable to breathe properly for a few minutes.

Statue and Rose gardens

Leaving the Café we all went to one of the side gardens before the entrance of
the Palace. Here, Terry had gathered us together to tell us we would be seeking
Justice on those people who had been wronged by historical figures (Cardinal
Wolsey, in particular).

Anna Taylor’s Guidance and Spirit help

Before attending, Anna had thought that her focus was to be with the staff, and
felt she was not to lead but follow because of this. She knew there were many
staff (historical) that needed to be rescued. Anna then channelled a spirit of a
little maid, a young girl of her twenties (she would stay with Anna and the group
throughout the day). Anna’s spirit guide wanted to help us find the people
(spirits) who could help us find the Justice that the building and the land
deserves.

She was a bit disorientated, though, as the Palace had been changed a great deal
since Tudor times. She wanted to speak but found it hard to find her voice until
Terry placed some protection and help around her and her other spirit friends.
She then went on to speak of Cardinal Wolsey and his outrageous behaviour and
lack of respect to people. She said there was dark magic around (she was
speaking for herself in Tudor times). She continued: “things had gone missing in
the kitchen everything from furniture; a dog; even young children and babies”.
She was also concerned about the others that had helped Wolsey abuse people
in those times. She wanted justice and was willing to help us in anyway.

After Anna had channelled the maid, Laura mentioned she could feel a large
elemental around us: something hairy like a yeti. Terry felt the same presence
and was able to move it on. It may have been an elemental connected with the
land as it offered no harm to those present. Anna’s spirit then came back and
said “Wolsey had a private chamber (later findings and references in books
would confirm this) where he met with certain people only, the room was
locked, nobody knew what happened there”! The maid told us she had been in
service from a very young age, since about the age of eight. We then grounded
and connected as a group and said prayers for the day led by Terry.

 

The Palace 

We went though the main entrance to William III’s Apartments, up to the
King’s Guard Chamber, which was very grand and light. Anna’s guide was a bit
confused, she wanted to show us where the room was but when we got to
where she believed it was the Palace had been altered to how she remembered it, and took us back down stairs up another staircase to some smaller older rooms, which were listed as some of Wolsey’s private rooms (a small group of us had accompanied Anna with her guide: myself, David, and Georgia). It turned out that where we were now was the other side of the guardroom.

One of the Palace staff let us through a connecting door from one of Wolsey’s
old rooms back to the Guardroom. We saw the door next to the fireplace in the
guardroom; William III had opened up all of Wolsey’s old rooms (this was
confirmed by a member of staff )! We met up with the others in the guardroom
to tell them of our findings. We went downstairs and met up in a court by the
Baroque Room. Anna’s guide had been getting quite frustrated when she
suddenly remembered the jester whom she felt could help us. Terry was then
able to connect with him.

The importance of Anne Boleyn in Todays Workshop

After this initial connection, Terry would be the main channel of the Jester. He
came in strongly for Terry just after Terry channelled Anne Boleyn. Terry
recounted that Anne Boleyn had inspired the kitchen maid to come forward and
speak out. Like the kitchen maid she was aware of a lot of the things that were
going on at the time: the corruption; crimes and misdemeanours, and it appalled her. Terry was struck by her generally warm, impersonal personality; she was here to offer help with a great deal of charm and interest in what we were doing. She would come in later in the day as well.

Anna, and also David and I felt strongly that we should be heading towards the
Chapel Royal and the Haunted Gallery. We briefly entered Henry VIII’s
apartments but then took a connecting route to the Queen’s staircase, where we
went upstairs entering the ‘Georgian Story’ apartments (there was a door to the
right of the main staircase leading to the Chapel Royal, but then Terry and Anna
felt strongly we should be going up the Queen’s staircase to other apartments).
Going up the main staircase we turned right, as the signage indicated the public
to go in this part of the Palace. Georgia communicated with Jane who was
channelling (very regally) George I and was not at all pleased with all ‘the
common people’ traipsing through the Palace and wished to return to Hanover.
Terry then introduced himself as the ‘carriage master’.

The Royal carriage was summoned for the King, who in his worldliness believed
he would be transported to Hanover. However, Terry’s objective was to direct
him into the heavenly regions and safety. He then left Jane’s body. Kate
channelled Queen Anne (the last Stuart monarch) who was at first not ready to
go as she still felt she still had unfinished business but Georgia and Kate
communicated to her she had done her bit for the poor in her time and needed
to be with her children. She then left Kate’s body. Going further along the
apartments things started to get more physical with spirits manifesting
themselves quite dramatically! Laura felt stuck to a wall with a spear through her stomach. Jane was able to ‘pull it out’ then the spirit of a Tudor servant girl could leave. David also channelled Elizabeth I when she was a young princess.

Anna was still getting messages from her ‘little maid’. She was mainly looking for support to find Wolsey or make ‘closure’ with him. Anna then said she also had other members of the Royal Household with her who wanted ‘justice’. We then broke for lunch after finishing in the rooms in the ‘Georgian Story’. At lunch we all thought we needed to visit the Chapel Royal and the Haunted Gallery (which we had postponed).

 

After Lunch -Henry VIII’s Apartments : Chapel Royal; Privy Council Chamber; and Haunted Gallery!

We went up the main staircase entering the Great Hall, in a room just off the
Great Hall (the Great Watching Chamber which connects with the
passageway that leads to the Privy Chamber and Haunted Gallery), Terry asked
us to gather together where he asked what we could feel: Terry said there was a
very heavy atmosphere, many of us could feel it, I felt a little uneasy although not knowing why. Anna then said she felt there was a great manifestation of negative energy; then a strange ‘black creature’ flying round the ceiling; she said she had connected with her guardian who wanted to eat it. Terry said there was no need as he was guarding the room and was unsure of our presence and was trapped. Terry released the griffin where he was able to eat the darkness in the Hall. Terry felt it was the griffin /gryphon beast on the Royal Coat of Arms.

 The Haunted Gallery

Going into the Gallery I felt, despite the number of people around, many spirits;
to get a clue I asked one of the role players of the Palace if she was Katherine
Howard, she said: “No sir, although many people mistake me for her, but I am
Lady Elizabeth Blount, the King’s mistress”. This would prove to be a clue for
what would happen later (see below). Historical note: Elizabeth or Bessie Blount
was the mother of his illegitimate son, Henry Fitzroy, to whom Henry VIII gave
the dukedoms of Somerset and Richmond. Fitzroy, which means son of the king
was acknowledged by Henry and there was talk in the 1530s that the King, who
then had no male heir, would legitimise Fitzroy.

 We then all entered the upstairs gallery of the Chapel Royal looking down at the
brightly candlelit Chapel, Terry said we needed to go down to the Chapel.
Entering, I felt a very peaceful presence and of light beings there: Angels and
other light beings and spirits. Some of the group, Jane and Laura in particular, felt some undertones of mistrust and dark forces, Laura even felt nauseous and dizzy. David sensed a strong element of ‘hypocrisy’ here. Personally, I felt a lot of
calmness here, and, indeed, felt the Holy Spirit in the special ‘reserve sacrament’ chapel to the left of the main altar.

We then entered the block that housed the Cumberland Art Gallery. It was here
that we came across the ‘Wolsey Closet’ (one of the oldest rooms in the Palace),
a room that Anna, David and myself had been keen to find. After Terry had linked us in and said some prayers I began to channel a spirit. It was a young girl who was very scared. I couldn’t quite catch what she was trying to say but knew it was something important. I then asked Anna for help and held her hand so the spirit could pass over to her. She said she knew too much about something important and was scared about what would happen to her. It was then I linked this up with what I had been told about the King’s mistress, Elizabeth Blount, (see above). She had stumbled upon the truth and was scared for her life. We said some prayers and moved her on. Her spirit coming through had been quite noticeable personally to me.

 Katherine Howard

Going into the Gallery I felt, despite the number of people around, many spirits;
to get a clue I asked one of the role players of the Palace if she was Katherine
Howard, she said: “No sir, although many people mistake me for her, but I am
Lady Elizabeth Blount, the King’s mistress”. This would prove to be a clue for

legitimise Fitzroy.

Finishing the Job : The Jestor Comes in for the Final Reckoning

David, on his preliminary research from maps and plans that had been sent to the group, felt the Fountain Court would be very important in our investigations.
This proved to be true! David perceived some form of punishment had been
issued here, to a lower worker. In the Fountain Courtyard, Terry, again
channelled ‘the jester’ and told us that we had the power to hand Wolsey over to
him, so that he could judge him ‘absolutely’.

The Jester was a very important character of the time: he had been a wandering
minstrel, regaling stories and political intrigue of the time; he also had
information privy to Henry VIII. The Jester had been ‘tracking’ Wolsey’s where
abouts for some time. Terry stressed the Jester was willing to be the ‘judge’, so he asked Terry to seek closure, so with the consent of Anna (and her spirit guide), and David and everyone else’s consent we agreed; we linked hands, said prayers and made closure.

 

Other Trapped Spirits of Note:

David had noted a strong presence of the ‘Queen’ still around the kitchen area
(Queen Anne Boleyn or the later Queen Anne?) He felt strongly that Charles I’s
energy was still here (he was held prisoner here before his execution). David said he loved the place and returned after his execution in 1649. He still wanders
round. He also felt the way the place had become a public ‘thoroughfare’ had
upset many of the ‘spirits’. Events like the fire in 1986 at the King’s Apartments
were maybe evidence of the spirits’ resentment of the current state of the area’s
usage!

 

Conclusion

A great deal was achieved today: both, in terms of deep spiritual cleansing, and in terms of the group’s own personal development in their spiritual gifts,
particularly mine. With the wealth of history here, I think there would be ample
justification for a return visit sometime in the future, especially in view of the
group’s findings today!

A big ‘thank you’ must go to Terry O’Sullivan for leading this visit!
