I really don't know how anyone can talk to the dead using a crystal. The new agers were determined to prove to me the power of the crystal. "You don't even have to believe," said one of them. "Just open your mind to the possibility, and you never know what might happen." My mind was not in the mood for being opened, but in all my travels I had encountered many strange things, so I decided that this would be just one more.
The three of us sat down on a large flat rock, it had been warmed by the sun. I was asked to hold a crystal in my hand, I must admit it felt strange. All of a sudden, one of the new agers began to talk in a different voice. His eyes seemed to get very wide, as if he was in shock.
