 JEANNA NORTHIn Loving Memory of Our Sweety Jeanna North is a little girl, aged 11, who went missing in June of 1993, in Fargo North Dakota. Her body was never found, even though her murderer, Kyle Bell is currently in prison because he confessed to the crime. This is the true story of how a woman, going by the names of Celtic Witch and Lady Reigna, came to the Northern Lights Paranormal message board, claiming that the unquiet spirit of Jeanna came to her for help. I, Dawn Crist, aka DarkLady, to the NL board, decided to help Lady Reigna aid Jeanna to put her tragic fate behind her and pass over, finally. In the process, we also helped Jeanna's adult companion Baby Jane McQualley to put aside her own tragic life and go to the "Land of Love", as the two spirits so poetically put it. This article is a tribute to little Jeanna North and her companion, Jane McQually ********************************************************** A woman going by the pseudonym of Lady Reigna, aka Celtic Witch, came onto the NORTHERN LIGHTS PSI message board, on Halloween (Samhain), 10/31/2001. She did not introduce herself formally, at first, as is usually the case, she simply joined the conversation on someone else's thread entitled "Was I Visited?" Celtic Witch seemed bothered by something. Her initial posts were tentative and somewhat cryptic, and she was fascinated by the idea of pendulums as a communications medium with the dead. She behaved as though she had a secret that she wasn't sure she wanted to tell anyone. I came on and immediately poo-pooed the idea of hand-held pendulums because no matter how still one tries to hold a dangling object, one's heart beat and other autonomic responses will cause it to sway back and fourth ever so slightly. CW, I and a couple others debated this and dowsing rods for a few posts, then I said something like "Of course, if you are holding a pendulum, and it flies up in wild arcs and there is no earthquake going on....then something strange, indeed, is happening!" That was when CW said that is what happened when she tried the pendulum trick. At that point she finally admitted that she had two ghosts dogging her heels. I had to agree that she was on to something. With a little more discussion, which revealed more details, another board member from the vicintiy of Fargo ND, calling herself Ghouliemom, asked if CW was talking about Jeanna North. Lady Reigna admitted that this was indeed the spirit, and that Jeanna was accompanied by an adult "guardian" who called herself "Baby Jane". More in-depth reading of this message board conversation can be found here. ********************************************************** Lady Reigna bemoaned the fact that, due to curiosity about the Jeanna North case, she decided to do a Horary Chart on the crime, which is a chart dealing in future predictions, relative to the point in time at which the event first transpired. According to Reigna, it was this fixation on the chart, and her advocacy of children, which attracted the spirits to her. At one point, in the "Was I Visited" thread, (this thread was originally on a totally different topic, and by a completely different author), Celtic Witch suddenly channels Jeanna for a brief paragraph. I was the first to remark on this very strange alteration in subject and tone. In addition, the level of the writing became extremely infantile and dyslexic, in spots. As can be seen from the thread itself, I commented that it seemed as though both Jeanna and Jane were speaking at once. CW agreed with me. At that point, Lady Reigna, aka Celtic Witch, began to e-mail me personally, regarding in-depth information about her predicament. Apparently, Jeanna confided to CW the little known facts of the terrible crime, itself, in addition to revealing the location of where her body is currently buried. This knowledge in itself is amazing, since Jeanna's body is still currently "missing". Due to the sensitive nature of this information, however, both CW and I have agreed to keep most of the e-mails out of this chronicle, for our safety's sake. Initially, Jeanna and Jane kept insisting that neither of them would let the matter drop until Jeanna's body was found and made public. Since Celtic Witch was fearful of uncovering the remains independently, because of who and what were involved in the sordid affair, and since she could not get the authorities to listen to her, she had resigned herself to spending the rest of her life being haunted by unquiet spirits. My first thought, regarding this prospective fate was, 'no effing way, in hell!!' I made a decision that somehow, some way, we were going to set CW, Jeanna and her companion Jane free of all this crap, once and for all! CW and I exchanged a constant stream of e-mails for a week, or so, and the more she told me, the more disturbing this case was revealing itself to be. A small example of the malevolence of this whole thing was when CW told me that another psychic had tried to get involved in the Jeanna North case. Apparently, certain members of the North family told her that if she knew what was good for her, she would leave it alone! Since Celtic Witch also has marked talents as a trance medium, she and I decided to sit tight and do an Instant Message Channeling of Jeanna and Baby Jane. What was revealed to us was the grief-stricken horror of a traumatized little girl who was convinced, at that point, that she could not pass over until her body was found. This sentiment was shared and encouraged by Jeanna's adult companion, Baby Jane McQualley. *** It should also be stressed here that the opinions expressed in the following transcripts, regarding Jeanna's mother, Sue North, are NOT the opinions of the author of this piece, nor of this site, nor of Lady Reigna*** (To read the 1st IM channeling transcript, click here. ) ********************************************************** In the transcripts, the style of the writing of Jeanna and Jane is very different from that of CW's prose, indicating that there are more than one personality involved. Some people would, of course, attribute this to a split personality, or to a very clever and devious perpetrator. However, one of the most obvious signs of the authenticity of the channelings is the fact that, on a few occasions, my questions were answered before I had finished typing them. Also, in one transcript, while I was addressing Jane, Michael suddenly walked into the room and sat down to view the on-line conversation. As soon as Michael had sat down, Jane remarked that "Lady has nice man with her." Then Jane, who had passed in 1904, became confused because she realized that she could not "see" Michael. Curiously, both Jane and Jeanna converse, over the computer, in a rather infantile manner. CW's and my theory is that Jeanna, at that point, had regressed to an infantile state due to her trauma. In one transcript Jeanna reveals that she believes it is still 1993 and she is still 11, eight years later. When I told her that the year was 2001, she became insistant that it was 1993 and it would always be 1993. Jane knew better than this; as a matter of fact, she seemed very lucid and aware of exactly what day it was, how long she had been Earthbound and what the dates were. Indeed, this knowledge was something that had beaten her soul down. Also, we came to believe that Jane, too, had regressed due to circumstances in her life and death that had driven her over the edge. In these transcripts, the two spirits are obsessed over a person named Fred, whom Jeanna claims abused her. She also believed he had a hand in her kidnapping. Neither CW nor I have been able to pin-point who this "Fred" is...or WAS, although we've had our suspicions. There is no evidence to prove anything, so this person's existence and involvement have been an enigma to us. second IM transcript, ********************************************************** Jeanna talks about a police officer named Pat, with some kind of understanding that Pat would help LR find Jeanna, however, there had been a falling-out of some kind. Jeanna thinks he is a nice man who will help, early on in the session, but then slowly she begins to understand that this man was now out of the picture. Along with her agonies about Fred, she now begins to complain bitterly about Pat. Jeanna also fixates on an address 343 64th St. North. It is an address that seemingly does not exist, and she rails that Fred lives in a trailer. I tried to find out about the address, but to no avail, and I also tried to find out the exact location of Fred's trailer....to no avail. Still Jeanna cried that he came to her in the night to violate her, and it sounded as though it was still happening. In addition, Jeanna told me that he attacked other little girls, as well, and it was all said in the present tense! Later, Jeanna suddenly announces "Fred Dead!" This is something that may have been possible. It had been 8 years since the crime, but it horrified us to think that the spirit of "Fred" was still abusing this poor little girl. It could have been that she was reliving her death trauma, vaguely knew some of the truth, but was largely confused. It was also this same transcript where Jeanna insisted that it was still 1993 and she was still 11. Shortly, Jane takes Jeanna away to the "resting place". Lady Reigna and I discuss what had just transpired and made a few Bette Davis jokes, since Jane called herself "Baby Jane". This brought Jane roaring back, accusing me of laughing at her. It took some reassuring to convince Jane that we were not making fun of HER, at all. Slowly, she calmed down. After some further conversation with Jane, she begins to reveal certain facts about herself, but she does a lot of lying, in the process. She admits that she murdered someone, in life, and says she murdered her husband. Then she tries to tell me her husband is Fred. We go around with this until I tell her that we cannot help her if she lies to us. Jane eventually apologizes for lying, but the fact remains that she murdered someone, in her life, and she feels that she does not deserve forgiveness. The session ends with her and Jeanna bowing out, again. Transcript 3 ********************************************************** We speak mostly to Jane McQualley. This is because we realized that she was convinced that she was Earthbound forever, and was deathly afraid that we would take Jeanna away from her by getting the little girl to pass over. In addition, Jane was angry because she felt as though Jeanna was getting more attention than she was. We find that Jane is a very angry woman who died at the age of 22, in 1904 of influenza. Since then, it was our impression that she had been wandering alone, all this time! She had been a school marm who loved teaching children, however all of that was ripped away from her, and she would not tell us why, yet. Instead, she went on about how she was now haunting Pat the policeman unmercifully for betraying Lady Reigna. She also talked about snippets of pleasant memories, in her short life, of how she loves to smoke, and how she missed her mother. She told me in confidence that I should not tell Lady Reigna that she stole her cigarettes and smoked them!! In a later e-mail to me, after she had read over the transcript, LR exclaimed, "So THAT is what is happening to my cigarettes!" Jane asked me if she could come to MY house and smoke cigarettes, but I told her that I don't smoke!! She told me, too, that the reason why she liked to be called "Baby Jane" is because that is what her mother called her. Her mother, she said, was in the "Land of Love", and she missed her mother very much. I kept urging her to go to her mother, but Jane was staunch in her insistance that she had "taken life while still alive" and that there was "no forgiveness after here." So no matter how much I tried to tell her that she could have forgiveness, Jane, at this point, would not listen. We did, however, strike up a rather interesting friendship. She talked of Jeanna, too, in alternatingly caring and then insensitive manners. Jane was a person who had been hardened to her own pain, and so she was many times brutally derisive of Jeanna's pain. LR and I decided that we needed to either get Jeanna away from Jane, since Jane was holding her to earth, or to get them both to pass over. I opted for the latter, since I genuinely felt badly for poor Jane, as well. Fortunately, we did not have to wait long for either of them to go over. Thanks to a very powerful spirit who was with LR, at the time, James, a.k.a. Miglikai. He took it upon himself to push Jane aside, so that Jeanna could finally cross over into the Light. You can read about this in Jeanna Crosses ********************************************************** Jeanna passed first, and since Jane was knocked out of the way rather unceremoniously by Mig., she was enraged at LR for days. Then we did a final IM session to help Jane. In THIS IM, we found out a few things that we had NO idea of, in subsequent sessions. There was a third party, holding Jane prisoner, here on earth. The account of jane passing can be found in: Jane Finally Passes ********************************************************** This brings us to the end of this chapter of their story. Now, Jane is reunited with her son, and Jeanna is the adopted daughter of Dawn (DarkLadyJr). After all they had been through, both spirits are very happy, indeed. THE END.........(For now) |
