Prudence joined my collection in 2004 after being auctioned as with other possessions, from a very old house where she was found by the new house owner.
Prudence is a very sad and lost , confused spirit and her rough age , confirmed by a medium , is 16, the clothing the medium described gave us an idea she was from the 1920s-1930s. It has taken a while to piece together her past as she only gave us clues at first simple yes and no answers and single words, it has taken quite a few sessions to really get to the bottom of her troubled issues. After a good connection with the medium she revealed her tragic story. Prudence's mother died from complications during child birth leaving Prudence's father to bring up her and her older sister Eileen. Since her mothers death , Prudence's father blamed her and treated her differently to Eileen. He showed so much anger and hate towards Prudence and often struck her when he had been drinking. He told her if she hadn't of been born his beloved wife would have still been here. Eileen was showed so much love and affection and he was very proud of her and treated to things Eileen was encouraged and praised more than her she would be given piano lessons and played in her room with her toys whilst Prudence would clean the house and do household chores. Eileen became a very selfish , big headed girl who would also bully Prudence and make fun of her because she wasn't as intelligent and didn't have as many nice things and toys as Eileen. It got too much for Prudence one day , Prudence was cleaning Eileen's bedroom and stopped to look at all the lovely dolls and the doll house and started to play with them . Eileen came into the room and accused her of trying to steal her things and started hitting her, Prudence reacted quickly and struck Eileen over the head knocking her to floor, and she started smashing up Eileen's bedroom she was livid and had never behaved like this before. When her father found out he went berserk and started getting violent towards Prudence , she picked up an object and started attacking him and ran out of the house. She didn't get far and was restrained by police and doctors who her father had called and sent to Bexley Mental Hospital known as 'The Health Asylum'. Eileen was fine and recovered , she and her father only visited Prudence once. Prudence was branded a 'lunatic' . As with all the patients , Prudence had to do daily chores and labour, there was a small place where they kept animals which also had to be cleaned daily as with all the other parts. The nurses were cruel and strict. It was a horrible place to be in. The other patients were deluded and sobbed all day and night , some were very uncontrollable and deranged. Prudence refused food and when she forced to eat she would force her self to vomit. She repeatedly tried to commit suicide and harmed herself. Her weight and physical health began declining as she continued to starve and refuse food and her body eventually gave up which lead to her death. Prudence's spirit is very sad, rejected and hurt. Her activity so far has been electrical disturbances, strong dreams of her life, good evps , k2 meter, sobbing heard , the hat on her head found on the floor numerous times, the doll/ vessel found knocked over, items found to be moved and an over all sad , low feeling felt from her presence. Prudence needs to feel loved and cared for as she was rejected all her life , unwanted and blamed and persecuted by her father for being alive, she never knew love and affection. Despite all the animosity she received in life, she is a loving spirit who just wants to feel wanted . |
