I met the Archangel Gabriel
We were in France on holiday and were travelling back from the south to the UK. We decided that an overnight stay in the city of Lisieux seemed perfect. We found a hotel and checked in. We didn’t know at the time but a party of pilgrims or whatever you wanna call them were also staying on their way back from Lourdes. We called for the lift to get to our room. The bell tinged and as the door opened we were presented with a young girl, probably in her mid 20s. She was alone, stood in the centre of the floor, both hands at about chest height forming a cross. She said, “I am the Archangel Gabriel.” With that, the doors closed, and the lift ascended!

Gabrielle.
I wonder what the Archangel Gabriel was doing in France.
You don’t think . . . not . . . Pierre?
I’ll ask Yves.
I’m going to have to try this out.
It was a beautifully surreal moment. We just stood there and looked at each other – I mean, it may have been Gabriel or even Gabrielle. I was speechless, which is unusual.
Enquiries revealed that she was part of an American group – the organiser of the party told us that she has psychological problems – I have never seen it in that way. It really was a lovely experience – for which I thank her.
Cindy, if you could ask Yves, I’d appreciate it.
I’m on it, CW. Anything for you.
haunting.
