This is a true psychic story about a psychic detective who was drawn to me and brought me into his world. He never knew for sure who I was but yet..he knew. These stories help students of metaphysics and paranormal understand the history behind each person. How does fate play a role?
Travel back in time and you will find tarot artist still drawing images on parchment papers and stones by candlelight and moonlight. You can see the Gypsy storyteller running barefoot in the sand along the Mediterranean seashore. Watch her dance beneath the stars and whisper to the moonbeams. Fate and destiny are her travel companions. Strangers, seekers of knowledge come to hear this mystical woman read the wisdom in her cards and tell stories as only she can do. Come, she waits for you to hear her psychic stories and follow her gypsy wagon wheels as they roll along in the sand of time.
This is a Sandy and this is a true short story.
It was the late 1940’s.
Fate calls to a
mother who took her daughter by the hand as they took steps together into the unknown. A mother helping her child up the steps, down the isle to the travelers seats of a bus traveling south away from New York.
Quietly waiting the young woman worries about being seen. She is running away from everyone and everything she has ever known. Perhaps last minute thoughts crossed her mind, should I get off the bus or should I go? Will my mother miss me? The bus doors close and the motion of the bus creates fears in the young woman who is uncertain of her own actions and yet feels the pull to start over again. Her young daughter thinks she is going on a trip. It was an adventure and the two remained missing persons.
Gazing out the bus window the young girl
and her mother eagerly watched for the evening stars come out while wheels
of fate carried them into the unknown. As if a twist in time had occurred the
two vanished.
That was a very long time ago when I took my mothers hand and boarded that bus.
Fate, destiny, and the unusual have always
been my constant companions. Communication in my dreams guided me and my tarot
cards called to me when it was time. My mother had tarot cards and she got readings. Psychics had seen her journey.

Over thirty years passed when One day in a public place I could feel that someone was staring at me. I
turned and looked over my shoulder to see a man staring directly at me. Our
eyes connected for a few seconds. I had never seen him before yet I felt him. I
ignored the experience and left the area.
Within a few months, a friend wanted me
to go with her to a psychic fair. I had not been to a psychic fair before and
was excited about going.
When I arrived at the fair I walked into the entrance of the hotel ballroom and
stood there looking around at the crowd of people. The lights began to blink on,
off overhead and the psychic readers who were sitting at tables turned, and looked
at me. I looked ahead and recognized the man standing in the center of the room
staring at me. He was the same man who had been staring at me before in another
location. We both stared at each other and then he turned to sit down at a
table and I realized he was a reader and the well-known psychic detective John
Catching. This man found missing persons, helps solve cases and he was the
owner of the psychic fair.
Several months after the psychic fair I had my own Tarot cards and I decided to call and speak with someone
about doing readings at John Catching fair. When I called, they did not need
another reader. I still followed my gut feeling and I went to his fair that
weekend. I arrived that morning and John saw me and we finally spoke briefly
for the first time. I told John I would like to do Tarot readings if he had a place
for me. He looked at me with a psychic recognition in his eyes. Suddenly
without warning, one of his new Tarot readers had to leave. John looked at me and
pointed towards her empty table. I did 19 Tarot readings that day. At the end of the day,
John came to me and told me to join him in the main ballroom the following day.
That was the beginning of working John’s fairs.
John Catching fairs brought the glamour of disco with crystal jewelry and
sequin tops with news media showing up at the events on a regular basis doing
interviews. People flocked to John’s psychic fairs and marveled at the
paranormal and supernatural classes, and panel discussions on psychometry and
missing persons.
John chartered buses and took his psychic fair readers to Austin and other
cities in Texas. I enjoyed the journey and the psychic education I got from
knowing and working with this talented man from a supernatural world. The gypsy wagon time travelor with his passengers from another time.
The glitter of John Catching Psychic Fair dimmed as a hush fell over the city when
John Catching passed away in September of 1992. John died at the young age of 45.
John’s psychic fairs faded from the public eye along with his exceptional
psychic talents as a psychic detective, reader, teacher and mentor who helped
bring the word psychic paranormal to a new level of understanding. John had
made numerous appearances on national television shows such as Unsolved Mysteries,
Secrets of the unknown, Geraldo and the today Show.
Destiny sent this psychic detective out to find one of his own and bring her
home in the gypsy wagon to be one with his family who would read the Secrets of Tarot Cards At The John Catchings Psychic Fairs.
