“My senses heighten when I connect with a spirit: I feel vibrations, I feel them moving and I can see them around me,” explains Cindy Kruger. The Johannesburg-born medium is sharing her gift to connect with the dead on her show Spirit (2018-current), but it nearly didn’t happened, reveals Cindy. “I tried to run away from my ability for years. I only accepted it in my 20s when I saw visions of my late gran.” Cindy got her diploma in travel and tourism and went on to work at Disney World in the US, but she was never fulfilled until she embraced her gift. “At first, I was nervous and afraid to connect with the dead. It’s a scary thing to think about, but I realised that my gift isn’t so bad after all,” says the 38-year-old. “Spirits usually connect with us to send messages of clarity or closure. It’s never to harm or scare us.”
