A widow finds out her dead husband is in trouble for having gambling debts in the afterlife...

M=Medium // G=Gerda Aldenhoff // K=Kurt Aldenhoff

ON THE GRAVEYARD

M: Good morning, Mrs. Aldenhoff!
G: Good Morning! You know me?
M: Oh sure, I'm glad to see how much work you put into this!
This is the most beautiful grave for miles around.
G: That's what my Kurt has deserved.
M: You've loved your husband a lot!
G: Oh yeah!
M: You're talking a lot to him.
G: That's right. How do you know?
M: I sensed it! A moment ago, when I stepped into your aura,
I felt, here's a person who might desperately need my medial abilities !
G: What are you talking about?
M: Though yet I'm not sure, whether it is you who needs my help or your husband?
G: Why should we need your help? What for?
M: You have to know, I can contact people in the afterlife!
G: Contact people in the afterlife?
M: Yes, with my help you can contact your husband.
G: I don't understand! How should that work?
M: I got that ability from my grandmother, a famous fortune teller!
G: Is it really possible to contact people in the afterlife?
M: Oh yes! I guess, you'd like to know how your husband is doing in the afterlife, don't you?
G: I don't know, though...it would surely be interesting.
M: Are you available tonight?
G: Sure, why?
M: If you like, I could come around and try to make contact to your husband.
G: With a crystal ball or that sort of thing, right?
M: Oh no! That's nonsense! All I need is a picture of your hubby.
G: Oh, that's no problem!

AT GERDA ALDENHOFF'S HOME

M: I can already hear weak signals! Kurt Aldenhoff, I'm calling you!
Are you there, Kurt Aldenhoff?
K: Yes...that's me...I salute you...Gerda!
G: How's he doing?
M: Gerda is with me. She salutes you, too. She likes to know how you're going.
K: I'm...not...doing.. very...well.
G: For heavens sake, why???
M: The contact is getting weaker.
G: Ask him, quickly!!
M: Kurt Aldenhoff, can you still hear me? What is wrong with you? ….
…. Problems? What sort of problems? …. The connection is gone.
G: Oh no!!
M: But he told me the reason why and he begs you to help him.
G: I'd love to but how?
M: Your husband mentioned something about debts.
G: What? Debts?
M: Yes, gambling debts.
G: But he never gambled! Especially not for money!
M: He said he gambled with somebody and now he owes him 5000 Deutsch Mark...in the afterlife.
G: That's hard to believe!
M: Yes, strange, isn't it?
G: How does that all make sense?
M: We don't know how this all works together, Mrs. Aldenhoff.
All we know is that you're husband is not doing well!
G: Strange! Kurt and gambling debts...
M: If you're willing to give me the money, I will transfer it into the hereafter.
G: And that is so easy?
M: No, it's not easy, but with a strong will and concentration it can work...but only at my home!
G: Unbelievable!
M: Those seances sometimes take all night and they are very exhausting. I don't want to burden you with that but if you give me the money now, I can give it a try tonight.
G: Alright! For heaven's sake,Kurt, what are you doing?

Later the story got uncovered when Gerda talked to her tax consultant. She wanted 100.000 Deutsch Mark from her asset because Kurt had decided to buy some property in the hereafter...
