‘I’m a ghost whisperer – spirits present me dying wounds and one even bit me’
A ‘ghost whisperer’ has opened up about her experiences with spirits – and how they first came about.
Caterina Ligato, 54, from Sydney, Australia, was just three the first time she saw a spirit. As the first born, she was a little lonely, so was happy to find she had a playmate.
He was a tall, thin man who loved to play hide and seek. “He was always smiling and happy to see me, so as I look back now, I believe he must have just loved children,” says Caterina.

Another spirit would follow Caterina around school. She explained: “He was very sad, lost and confused. He wanted to go back to his earthly home but somehow had forgotten how to get there.
“He was always asking me to show him the way home but I didn’t know and this made me feel mad and frustrated until I got angry at him one day and told him he was dead, I never saw again after that.”
Caterina admits a few of the spirits she encountered did put her on edge. She said: “Some spirits did scare me especially when they showed me their wounds regarding how they died, a gunshot, car accident, cancer, murder.
“I would tremble, cry, scream and run as fast as I could and somewhere that I could feel safe.”

As she grew older, Caterina tried to block out the spirits. But eventually realised they were never going away.
So at around the age of 15, she began her training as her guides and angels taught her how she could help others with her psychic gifts and later she became a professional medium.
Caterina is now known as The Australian Ghost Whisperer and helps other people connect with the dead. She set up a podcast whereby she visits haunted sites and talks about the hair-raising experiences she’s encountered; including one experience where she was bitten by a demon that had possessed a young child.
Caterina, who doesn’t see as many spirits as she used to, adds: “These days, I tap into spirits only to help them return to the spirit realms if they are lost or if I am passing on a message from a loved one for clients. I feel very privileged and honoured, and I am grateful for these gifts as they have helped me work with so many wonderful people. I am truly blessed.”
