I hope this is the vital piece of info I was talking about. When I first saw this photo, my heart certainly skipped a beat.

This fair skinned and fair haired girl certainly stands out with the rest of the group being very tanned and dark haired.

I still feel she will be reunited with her parents very soon and that a link like this in the chain of events will quickly lead to her rescue.

Thanks for posting the info with images :+)
Hey helpinghand gtsy, I do believe that this now is the begining of Madeleine being returned

I first heard about this when I nipped down to the shops for some groceries and it is all over the papers there. When I saw the picture my stomach turned right around and I do really believe that it is her. Sometimes I get phrases in my head when I don't expect it and today while I was looking at it on the news it said "It's her".

Fingers crossed she is reunited soon. In the meantime I will keep thinking positively!

I'll tell you something else that occurred to me that was freakish.

About 2 months ago before I joined up here as a member I was looking at a story about how a red admiral butterfly landed on kate's yellow ribbon right when she met the pope and how it gave the McCann's hope. I was really touched by that story and I definitely felt it was a message that Madeleine is alive. Later in the evening same evening, I decided to go downstairs and look for a certain book to read before bedtime, I couldn't find this book, so after several minutes i decided to read another one.

A thin book about nature and flora in the Maltese Isle's that I hadn't read for years took my attention and I pulled it out of the bookshelf. When I opened it up to read the page I landed on was of a photo of a red admiral butterfly landing on a yellow daisy like flower !!!!

I felt very positive after that that a higher power was telling us not to lose hope and that Madeleine was being protected.

May God bless Madeleine and all those trying to find her and bring her home soon.

The material you wanted to post is copyright...here is a link to an Australian site with the same photos.


Perhaps wherever you are around the world at midday your time on 27th September you could all stop and pray for Madeleine's safe return.


http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id...amp;_cobr=optus

Sadly the little girl that was being carried is not Madeleine. The family have allowed another photo of their daughter to be taken to show it wasn't Madeleine:

http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/09_0...yES_468x579.jpg

That's such a shame.... I think it would be good though if we all tried to stay positive - I think now it has gone on so long you really WANT it to be her and that she is found, and this intereferes quite a lot with the feelings you get.

Staying positive...

I will still pray on 27th September at Midday, your time and mine.

Let's all try to stay positive.

Oh, I am sorry Jodee, I should have mentioned that the idea of a time for everyone to pray was yours -- thank you for requesting it.

No, thank you for posting my request, Victoria. I hope it helps.

Can anyone suggest anything else we can do?

I sincerely hope that Madeleine McCann is found within the next few days, wherever she may be.

LOVE AND BLESSINGS

Noelle

Yes, I think we all share your hopes... Thank you...


Lenky

no problem

NOELLE

Still feeling upbeat and positive that every day is a day closer to Madeleine resurfacing.

do you think there is any truth to the story that a maid at the resort abducted madeleine as revenge for being fired

Hello Helpinghand.
Yes, I also am feeling pretty upbeat about Madeleine.
xx


I'm not really sure nigel, something like that was said a few months ago and I believe a psychic from belgium more or less said the same thing about 2 or 3 months ago.

I think it is far more plausible than some of the reports in the media. I think most people know by now not to believe most of what is printed by the papers and to remain positive and focussed.

I think she will be found soon. I will continue to pray and focus on a happy outcome.

I had a vision yesterday that just popped into my head and then out again very quickly and I wanted to share because previous posters have mentioned about a white house with a red roof too. I saw a fairly small white house with a red - I think it was slanting but not 100% sure - roof. It was in a grassy area - made me feel like it was on a hilltop and seemed like the style of houses in Portugal. It had trees close by but they were shaped. Like the way cypress trees are shaped - I remember being quite struck by the shape of the trees. I feel like there was more for me to see but at that exact moment my daughter came into the room asking me for something and I completely lost what I was seeing.

I'd be interested to know if this ties in with anything anyone else has seen.

hi joey' I've felt this more than once but the trees I've felt were palm trees. what really struck me is how close a house is to the beach and the pattern of the wood around the house is really odd. I've told this to a very good friend on the forum she told me to pass it on to people around that area so i did. another thing that I got was the number 15 in circles if that makes any sense to you or any one else here, PLEASE TRY TO EXPLAIN. joey the red roof I felt is the red shingles you see on houses also the house I see is around a bend, like a part of the beach is apart from the mainland. I also got a feeling of maddy with her eyes closed and the wind was blowing her hair, I keep having this feeling of the wind blowing on her forehead.so many things every day most of the time they are good, sometimes I have to try really hard to get rid of the bad things.

This is a bit weird - when I saw the house I mentioned before, I wasn't shown but I "knew" that it was near a vineyard or had some connection with one. I didn't see it but the vineyard connection keeps coming back and just "feels" right. All the times I have had visions relating to MM it is very windy - it feel to me near the sea but then who knows. I knew that there was more for me to see the time I saw the house - it was like a movie reel running in my head - until my daughter came in asking for a biscuit and then it was gone!

I have asked for a chance to see that again and am patiently waiting for the next time something pops into my head in that way. I hope that you are right and this month will see some major developments.

I strongly feel and I have said this before that she is in close company with a little black and white puppy or dog that is keeping her company. Anyone else get this or have anything new to offer ?

Also just now had a strong feeling that the abductor has returned to the resort very recently or is there now sort of lurking around a bit ( don't want to scare anyone I don't think they are going to abduct again) but they are there looking for something. Abductor is male.

Anyone else get anything ?

I've just had something happen that has ended up with me covered in goosebumps.

After that vision disappeared quickly the other day I asked for more help - well over the last few days I have been hearing the word "Port Mao" in my mind for ages - I didn't even know it was a place at all and couldn't think what it was for. So, it was bugging me and I did a Google search. There is a Port Mao in Spain in Menorca. HOWEVER: There is a PORTIMAO in Portugal. It is near the town of SILVES (which was linked I think with Starlo when I mentioned the marshland & seaside kind of atmosphere). Portimao used to be a fishing centre until the 1980s (a lot of people on this board have been getting the sensation of fish smells linking to this). I thought it would just top it off if there were vineyards nearby as I always felt drawn to the thought of a vineyard. Well there are. On top of this - I looked on Google Earth and it is just over 10 miles along the coast as the crow flies from Praia de Luz. (Someone also saw the number 10).

I know this doesn't really help in the grand scheme of things but I feel so shaken by this that I had to share. Whatever happens I hope that Madeleine is found soon.

Thanks for posting that info Joey, every little helps x

Hello Helpinghand.
I have read a few times that a dog is with Madeleine, there are alos a number of psychic/mediums who do believe Madeleine is in PDL, she was moved but has been brought back again.
I have tried and tried to focus on Madeleine, I have seen nothing but hope to at least to have a feeling about where she is/what and when we shall have news.
At present I'd like to say she will be back, I feel she will be, but also hope that it not just me wanting this so badly.
Tricia xx

Don't worry, Tricia. It's not just you. I've been seeing so many thing on TV lately about children being abducted and kidnapped and all of those other horrible things. I wish there was something someone could do to keep this from happening as frequently as it is.

Well, last night, I thought I was supposed to help. When Ben Ownby went missing, it felt like a piece of me just disappeared. I knew I had to do something to help. I posted information about it on here and found that enough people prayed for this boy that not only did they find him, but another boy with him that had been missing for 4 1/2 years. Now that Ownby's abducter is in jail, I feel sorry for all of those other children that are missing.

So last night, before I fell asleep, I asked my guides to help me open that part of me. Asked them to send me a message about one of the children missing in my area, or even about Madeleine if they could. And before I even finished asking for their help, I saw a face of a girl (I don't know if she was a woman or not) with blonde hair, screaming. I know that's not much, but that made me want to try harder. So tonight, I am going to do some serious meditation, maybe some other forms of work, then ask my guides for help once again. If I get anything, I'll let you all know.


Love and light,
Libby

Hi Libby.
Thanks for your post, nice to meet you btw
I also ask every night before sleeping that I may be shown something or even feel something about Madeleine. It happened just once though in the very early days of her disappearence. But, I still keep trying, as i know most of us do.
Blessings
Tricia x

I saw the number 10 and I still feel it is relevant. It was a very strong image of the number 10.

Anyone have any feelings or insights about the latest sighting of a girl that looks like Madeleine. She was sighted in the company of an Arabic looking woman in Morroco in a taxi at end August. Apparently the child had a distinctive looking eye like Madeleine. Private investigators have been checking this out.

Hello helpinghand.
I have read somewhere that an Arab woman was/is around Madeleine.
I'm not too sure about this sighting, the reason I say this is because of the last sighting, where it was reported a child that looked exactly like Madeleine, the person who saw her also mentioned her eye, however it turned out not to be Madeleine after all.
I do think though that the PI's that are now searching, will come up with something really positive in the not too distant future
Hope all is well with you helpinghands

i was wondering if anyone has seen where she is or who might have her in the last few weeks

I''ve been wanting to post some thing here. When this whole thing first came out, I felt that the parents (mainly the mom) had some thing to do with Maddy being gone. I automaticly felt that she had passed. I seen her playing with Jon Ben ét Ramsey. Now on the other side there could be pets to keep them company and to make them feel safe.

They may not even know they have passed, still lingering here. I really feel that the mom had some thing to do with her being missing and her death. I know that hardly any of you have said that she has passed, but I feel pretty strong on this.

Every thing that I've said that I felt has happened, a few weeks or a month will pass by and they throw it on the news.....Sky or the UK news. They have already caught them in a lie regarding how long they sat in that restaurant and NOT supervised those children. From what I seen with the pics they made available, the Father is the main one that is with Maddy, not the mother. According to the waiter at that restaurant, he said that the father has been the only one to go check on those kids and they would sit there 3 hrs before even leaving to check on them. Responsiblity? NO. The waiter also said that the ONE and only time that Kate checked on them is the very night all this happened. Seems strange? No.

I have a really bad feeling about this mom, I seriously feel that the two they still have with them, should be removed from their care.

Just my thoughts and feelings...and what I've seen.

Tigerwitch111

The only thing I wanted to say about this was that after a few helpful visions that I had of Maddy or concerning her disappearance I asked my guides to show me something else to see if I could get something more definite. A few days went by with nothing, so I meditated and asked why this was happening and could I get something else. I was very clearly told "There is nothing you can do now". Which behind the lines I felt that she had passed. In spite of this I do still feel positive that she will be found and I'm always hopeful that she will be found alive.

Hi Libby,

yes, I remember the Ben Ownby case very well...He was found only a few miles from where he was taken... It would be great if all cases could end that well. The most positive thing that came out of all that, was that the other boy (long since presumed dead by most) was also found and returned to his family...

In abduction cases, unless there is absolutely irrefutable evidence to the contrary, there is always hope. That's why I, you, and many others continue to hold hope for Madeleine, because in spite of media hype and gutter-press "reporting", there is no solid evidence that she is not longer among us... Officially, the authorities are still searching for a missing child. A living child. Assumptions that were previously made by some (Portuguese) police have now been discarded as baseless, which is why a new chief investigator took over.



Libby, it's wonderful, what you are attempting to do. My only note of caution is that you must be prepared to "witness" some things that are not pleasant and that may stay in your memory for a very long time indeed. But such is the nature of this type of task... I wish you well with it and pray you will have some positive results.

Lenky

Since we haven't seen any new information on this topic for a while I thought i would try and establish a fresh mental connection with my deceased grandma to see if there were any new strong insights she could give me on Madeleine. I do not profess to be a psychic but have had experiences where my grandma has given me mental messages that I have tested against other people that turned out to be 100% accurate. This has freaked me out in the past which is why I don't do this everyday. Also I do not want to receive negative images about Madeleine as I can't handle that - I truly care that she is found however. Its just an opportunity to discuss other possibilities and confirmation from others that they have had the same images would be of interest. There truly exists a psychic power or help in some people.

Has anyone else had these images also below ?

The strongest ones about Madeleine were as follows:

I really don't know why she is saying this but - Tel Aviv ?
There is a dirt floor but it feels like it is Morocco and a farm or a place with domesticated animals.
She is wearing a short scarf on her head - she looks ethnic now like a gypsy and a bit dirty on the face.
There is a small baby around her- a young baby girl.
They go out in the morning on a horse ?
The baby she is with is crucial in being able to find her ?
Noone should lose hope of finding her.
Looking for goats will help in locating her ?

Thats all I can get at the moment.

Anyone ?

Helpinghand, thanks for your posting, it's nice to hear from you again
I wish I was able to add to what you have written, all I feel I can say is, I feel Madeleine is out there,Morocco does stand out and she is being looked after.
Since last night and this evening also, I have had this funny feeling in my stomache, like we are going to hear something very soon. Last week at work, I was in the staff room and a wave of emotion came over me, my eyes filled, however this was not an emotion of sadness.
Blessings
Tricia x ^j^

so i haven't been on here for a while. i found myself getting overly wrapped up in some of the missing person topics. i think we have all had that time when it's like , "am i doing this because i really truly feel something? or is it because i'm bored using this to fill a void in my life?" when i started to feel restless and bored and a little obsessive to the point it was starting to feel unhealthy, i knew i needed to stop because it might mess with my real psychic intuition opposed to conspiracy theories. I did a card reading right after my last post because i started to get this really strong almost certain knowledge of who the abductors were. I actually cried because i felt confused as to whether or not this was real or just something i wanted to be real. the cards told me VERY clearly that at that point in time that i needed to hold back and let the universe take it's course. kind of like what JOEY got in his meditation. It said that there was nothing i could do at that time. I thought about it, and it made sense, that if in fact i was right, maybe it wasn't the right time to share my insight. just think, that maybe had someone said too much in the Elizabeth Smart case...she might have never been found...either by the fact that they would have killed her because they felt they were going to be caught soon , or possibly would've made a run for the border and made it harder to find them or something. So I let go of it, along with another missing person i was looking into on the forum.

but now i feel that it might be time for me to share. I always said that something big would happen in november. I believe that was the info let out about the sighting of her two days after the disappearance (which was north of praia da luz which is around SILVES and Portimao). also they have talked more about the weak security around the hotel. The Panorama Footage that came out on nov 19th on BBC called mystery of madeleine mccann is what i'd consider big in that it really gives the parents more support for their innocence and also hope in that she is still alive, which she is.

I believe many of us get the fish smell. i get the hill and the old buidling made of sand stone. red roofs.


after i read a description of the guy seen carrying madeleine, just out of curiosity, i decided to browse on myspace for men in that age range that live in Silves. After going through profile pics, i looked at their physical features, such as hair and eyes, at height that they had on profile (some are goofy of course though, ) i came upon one profile, that basically made me feel like i lost all my breath. i felt very uncomfortable. it pretty much freaked me out and i had to leave the site for a bit because it really creeped me out . so i hate bringing this dark stuff up on a peaceful forum but since it's something i felt i needed to share i will continue for good purpose. what got me thinking was Madeleine's eye and the weird marking. I found out that the eye is very important to their beliefs and it is a symbol of many things, one being lucifer. could she have been targeted because of her marked eye ?It's weird how they would just take madeleine? why not amelie or sean? now, i don't necessarily think this person did it. i just found out though, through browsing through many profiles in portugal, that the satanic cult seems to be a big thing there, which kind of surprised me. I hope that the police are looking into that area as well since it seems to be out there in high numbers around where they stayed. the scary thing is, that this cults have been known to do human sacrifices to young children around her age. i still feel that she is alive, but being held with a group.

Hi Starlo

I really feel for you, its easy to get too caught up in a case like this, especially when a beautiful young innocent child is involved. I feel the worst of your stress is now behind you. I would advise that you pass the information about the guy onto someone who can help and then "let go" knowing you have done all that you can for now.

I have just started using an Angel Board this morning, that I purchased a while ago and after reading your Post I asked the Angels one Question. I asked is Madeleine still alive and the answer was DEFINATELY.

Hope this helps

Love
Jodee

I just wanted to reply to this topic and specifically about what Starlo posted. It was very strange to me when I was very clearly told "there is nothing you can do now" in a meditation. And sometimes out of the blue when I am doing the ironing etc - lol! It doesn't feel natural to let go, it is like you would think that your guides and angels would want to work with you to try and get to the bottom of this, but sometimes obviously not.

When I posted about Portimao I felt so strongly about it and then had the thought that maybe someone was reading this who had been involved in the disappearance and then might freak out. So I did what my guides told me (reluctantly) and held back. Thanks for posting - it's a bit weird that our feelings as a group have been quite consistent.

Some of your post was deleted for legal reasons.

Keep up the positive good work.

Oh" how I try and try to ease off on maddie and some of the others that are missing but it feels like they are calling to me, especially one in particular here in the states.
you are right when you say it doesn't feel right to let go so I'm not. I feel this intense feeling that I know exactly where she is. as you said I will not post my plans as how I will resolve this but I have to and I will.



I LOVE YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU

Feeler,

the precious value of every life is what touches all of us, because we are all of one life -- we all have our life from One Source... Anything positive that we do has an effect; like ripples on a pond that move out and over the surface, our actions and our very thoughts reach out to others. You and I and millions of people have Madeleine in our thoughts -- and not only her, but so many more who are missing and whose families' hearts cry out for them...

With the New Year approaching, a time that should mean happiness and a reawakening of purpose and direction, I'd ask everyone to spare at least a few moments for silent thought and prayer -- in whatever way you wish to pray -- for all those who are missing, and for their loved ones whose suffering is a never-ending burden as the days drag by without them. And most of all, pray that the ones who are missing may be found.

Thank you,

Lenky

Hi everyone god bless this little girl shes done more to highlight pedophile activities and help other missing children in her absence than anyone single person could. she must be found alive or otherwise. I could connect to madeline for a couple of weeks after she was abducted but everytime ive tried since then ive came across a black wall a void ,is it possible for someone a religious person or magical person to hide her from psycics i know its possible to do this for yourself.
Im deeply disturbed by this case because no mother with children can feel safe within society when a child can dissapear so completely without a trace, it deeply upsets me that britain does not chemically castrate ever pedophile within society. They are no more than animals that are consumed by a base instinct. But apparently these people that do this to children are given human rights to choose chemical castration were is madeline and every other abused chlds rights.! I wish hope and pray that this will change. What upsets me so much is that none of us know this childs human potential this child may have grown up to cure cancer yet we are so tolerant to pedophiles we allow them to continue there warped perverse lifestyles ,the police put them on a data base of known sex offenders yet still they roam society. to me they are evil incarnate because the damage they do lasts a lifetime for the victims and families . when is this society going to prioritize our childrens saftey to not be used as a sex toy by some sick ****. ps i do beleive madeline is alive because it would be easier to connect to her or her guide if she had crossed over. does anyone have any insights

Hi Julie.
Re' ps i do beleive madeline is alive because it would be easier to connect to her or her guide if she had crossed over. does anyone have any insights.
I have thought about this also. There have been many people. psychics/mediums who over the past few months have picked-up on certain about Madeleine. If Madeleine had passed over, she has family on the otherside and as you said her Guide. Something would have come forward I believe, if she is no longer on the Earth Plane.
Tricia

I do not think its related to Madeline but I did dream last night about a little girl who was abducted and was murdered 3 1/2 days later. Reading this thread this morning reminded me of my dream last night. There was all this fear and nobody would let thier children out of thier site because of the kidnapping and I desperately needed to buy school supplies but because of the terrible crime it was hard get them. Then I ended up going to a trailer.... you know like the kind an 18 wheeler pulls ...they were selling schools supplies inside the trailer. We had to purchase a specific back pack and there was supposedly 5 color choices but two of them were missing. I have the wierdest dreams.

Hi Tricia,

thank you for posting your thoughts. What you say makes good sense and is in fact very encouraging. Sometimes these cases can take a long time to resolve, but considering that children have been recovered alive even years after being abducted, I feel it's good to maintain a positive attitude.

Lenky

I thought I would post my visual impressions on Madeleine here, not that I have much but maybe it might fit into a larger picture of someone else. I have no idea if this is a present/ past or future event.

When I look for this child I see her standing towards the end of a wooden Jetty/Pier. The Jetty is sturdy, yet quite old with wide wooden boards on the decking. It is probably about 5ft wide. It isn't made for major traffic - a group of 4 or 5 small to medium boats use this. Two large wooden stumps set into concrete? are on either side at the end.. with traces of flaking pale blue paint that is almost completely worn away on them. There is a whitish fishing boat, it is not a large boat, at the end where a woman sits sorting fish. (Can see fishing nets here too) She is very weathered looking woman with a tanned face. Alot of wrinkles and she looks older than she is. She doesn't speak English.. Her eyes are small and dark. She has a faded pale scarf over her head which conceals most of her hair (which I suspect is greying) She often wears a straw hat too, but doesn't on this day. She has seen Madeleine a few times and senses that something isn't quite right. I don't think she can read very well. She is a private sort of person.

Looking over the water I see trees on the other side. Not very wide, I could swim it but don't want to. The water is fairly rough. This is a river which is close to a larger body of water.. which I can see when I look to my right. (3-4 hundred yards away) Looking left up the river it narrows and the trees seem taller and larger.. (older maybe) The ground supporting them rising slightly.

I don't sense any anxiety with Madeleine. She seems neither happy or sad.. but is displaced. She appears in good health. She wears long navy pants and brown sandles with socks. Red skivvy with a heavy fleecy or wooly vest. Her position is only temporary here. There are plans to move her to be with someone else (the person who has provided finance for her till now) at a later time.

Other impressions.. (very strong one too)
Sometime in the first few days after she was abducted, the original plan for this child changed. I suspect that she was originally going to be ransomed but this changed.

This morning when I woke up I was not thinking of Madeleine at all - but I suddenly had the very strong conviction that there would be a development in this case over the coming weeks. I don't know if it will be finding her, or some new evidence - but I do really think that something will come up soon. Let's keep a lookout and stay hopeful.

I have always thought they would eventually find her, I hope that is right.

Hello Joey,

it looks like your insight is bearing fruit already. I have just seen a report on CNN international that says a young Dutch tourist on vacation in Montpelier (France) saw a little girl in a restaurant/cafe who she immediately felt was very similar to Madeleine: her hair was shorter (as some of us have suggested it would be) and her face a bit thinner (which can happen as small children get a little older anyway). The witness and a friend with her got close enough to the girl to see that she even had a defect to her right pupil like Madeleine has -- and when she then said "Maddy" the girl reacted. However, a man immediately picked up the girl and quickly left the restaurant before the witnesses could get any pictures with their cell phones.

But here is what makes this very hopeful in some respects at least. The young woman called the police, who came to the restaurant and recovered security video that includes video of the little girl. This video is now being examined by French police, who are also liasing with British and Portuguese investigators.

EDIT: This latest information is now getting into other news media. Here is a link to Skynews (UK) who have been following this story constantly from the very beginning. Just click on the "headline" below:

Tourist "Spots" Missing Madeleine

Here is another report (from The Daily Mail) which gives a little more info about what the witness saw and said:

Police Probe Fresh Madeleine McCann Sighting in the South of France

So, there is a chance that this sighting could bring something. At the very least it will lift public interest and keep people looking out for children like Madeleine...

We must never give up hope...and not just in the case of Madeleine, but with the others who are missing, too!
