Introduction

Hi, I’m Ken from Whispering Souls, and I’ve been working as a medium for over 35 years. In this book, I want to take you on the path I’ve walked — how I discovered my gift, the challenges I faced, and the remarkable moments that shaped my journey into mediumship.

Growing up, I had experiences I didn’t understand at the time. I would know things before they happened — like when a test was coming at school or when a game would be cancelled. These seemed like little coincidences —things that everyone experienced. But then came the dreams — powerful and vivid. One in particular stayed with me: I dreamt of falling from a bridge onto a road below, where a car swerved, crashed, and exploded, killing everyone inside. I still remember the details — four people in the vehicle, the driver wearing a green tie and a brown coat. Months later, I refused to ride my bike along that same stretch of road. Looking down, I saw the very same car from my dream. The driver looked up at me, then sped off. That was the last time I ever saw him.

Despite these experiences, I didn’t believe in any of this. I was a scientist and a software engineer — someone who lived by logic and facts. Spirituality had no place in my life. But that started to change when my grandfather revealed that he had worked as a psychic for the Canadian government. He told me that when I turned 30, I would become a medium. I laughed it off. But sure enough, when I reached that age, everything began to shift.

I started receiving information I couldn’t explain — visions, sensations, and messages that wouldn’t leave me alone. Curious and a bit unsettled, I decided to explore it further. I joined a psychic development group in England and spent two years learning how to work with tarot and develop my mediumship. The final test — bringing through a loved one in spirit for a stranger — confirmed everything for me. I passed with flying colours and knew I had stepped onto my true path.

From there, my wife and I — she’s also highly intuitive — dove deeper. We ran psychic fairs for two years, then branched out into paranormal investigations. We had incredible experiences, many of which we caught on camera. Eventually, though, we stepped back from that side of things to focus on the work that truly called to us: helping people reconnect with their loved ones.

In 2017, I suffered a stroke that put everything on hold for six months. But when I recovered, something had changed — my connection to spirit had deepened. Since then, I’ve continued to work with spirits, connecting people to their passed loved ones, sensing spirits in homes, and offering comfort and closure where possible.

Through Whispering Souls, my website and Facebook community, I offer free mediumship readings every Wednesday to help those who are grieving or searching for connection. We also donate time and resources to charities — giving back is a big part of what we do.

This book is a reflection of my path — the twists, the signs, the awakenings, and the learning. Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or already on your own spiritual journey, I hope my story will open a door for you to understanding, to healing, and maybe even to something beyond what you thought was possible.
