| 0:00.0 | Hello again, dear listeners, and today we're listening to another one of Linda's supernatural |
| 0:07.7 | experiences. So as October gallops like a headless horseman towards Halloween, let's listen to the |
| 0:15.2 | next installment of Linda's stories. Dear Steve, my next account happened to me just a few short years ago. |
| 0:25.6 | I lost my beloved brother Stuart suddenly in January 2022. |
| 0:30.6 | He was only 63 years old when he passed, and to this day I still grieve the loss of him. To make matters worse, my mum who is 93 and in a |
| 0:41.8 | care home with dementia doesn't know of his passing. We took the advice from carers and it was |
| 0:47.7 | decided it was best not to tell her. I went into a deep depression after losing my brother, as we'd always had such a special bond, |
| 0:56.3 | even down to when we were at family weddings or the like, we would always have a slow dance |
| 1:01.1 | together. Being the oldest, I was typically the one who made arrangements for my mum, taking her |
| 1:07.1 | shopping, etc. My brother would often say, you're doing an amazing job, sis. I'm so proud of you. |

| 1:24.8 | The message read, |
| 1:26.3 | You're doing an amazing job, sis. I'm so proud of you and just know how much I love you. |
| 1:32.6 | Your brother. |
| 1:34.5 | This message stayed on the screen just long enough for me to read it. Then it was gone. |
| 1:39.6 | I tried everything to find where it came from, but no number showed, and I was never able to recover |
| 1:45.1 | it. Even my tech-savvy son could neither find nor explain it. Now, at first, we thought someone |
| 1:52.3 | might have sent it as a cruel joke, but we've never been able to find the message, despite our |
| 1:57.1 | best efforts. It does comfort me a bit to think that it could be my brother, |
| 2:03.1 | but I'll never know. Thanks again, Steve. Still loving the show. Please keep them coming. |
| 2:10.2 | Linda. Now, Linda, technology and the afterlife absolutely fascinates me, |
