Sunny was born in the UK in the early 1960’s as Clark Burgess. He only recently took on the name of Sunny in memory of his Australian partner who sadly passed on into the world of spirit. She gave him a nickname which has stayed with him, although when he returns to the UK he is Clark once again.

Sunny was very fortunate to grow up in a beautiful part of the world – fields and woodlands full of rustic charm – visits to castles and caves – fields knee deep in snow at wintertime. His parents were kind and humble people born of working class origins and who filled his life with such love and support, that to not want to serve and give back to others would have almost seemed nonsensical.

Sunny talks about his childhood in a large dark house positioned under the umbrella of an old majestic oak tree. It was also in this house that he had many of his early visitations from spirit that were to later characterize “the gift” as he terms it.

“Regularly I used to wake up and spirits would be tapping me on the shoulder. I saw my grandmother who died some years before my birth, and instantly recognized her from a photo at a later date. She has been my guardian spirit and I have had a lot of contact with her throughout my life.”

It was an active period – the first 7 years or so in his life - but then things just shut themselves down in the teenage years- nothing psychic, no “gift” - until a strange thing happened at the age of 28. Before this time, Sunny had traveled over many countries in Europe, the middle East and Africa, during his twenties and saw a lot: the good; the bad and the eerily fascinating in human nature.

Then he found himself in Corsica working as a stable boy.

“I had twenty seven beautiful horses that I looked after – it was labour intensive work 365 days a year but the setting on a windswept Mediterranean beach was very alluring”.

It was during November 1992 that Sunny experienced a feeling that he had to leave and virtually within the hour got his belongings together and left the stables. He wandered a few kilometers across the sand dunes to a local beach bar where he saw a black transit van and caravan with British number plates. A man with a mousy moustache sat on the caravan step and beckoned him over. The conversation and following months that followed transformed Sunny’s life and brought him to the point where he is now.

“It was one of life’s little miracles” said Sunny. “I feel so blessed to have been guided to this point”.

It turned out that an extended family of mediums from Glasgow had decided to leave their home and travel Europe to bring healing to those spirits who had not passed on from the Earth plane. Here they were on this little beach in Corsica passing the time of day, because their spirit guides had told them that someone was coming to join them — like you do on an average day!

The family intimated to Sunny that he too was a ‘sensitive’ (another word for describing someone who has the psychic sensitivity to pick up spirit communications from the ether) and he would travel the world doing this work.

For the next few months they traveled together across the breadth of Italy working with spirit rescues — helping spirits to progress into the afterlife.

“Life was certainly never boring,” recalls Sunny. “There were lots of things to learn about crystal healing, shamanism, meditation and my Native American spirit guide ‘Buffalo’ — who remains my main communicator to this day”.

Ronnie and his family disappeared out of his life as quickly as they entered. In Reggio, Calabria , they contacted the spirits and were informed of an imminent healing mission to war torn Bosnia, but that if Sunny went with them, then he would come back in a wooden box.

They parted company and Sunny continued his travels eventually arriving on Australian soil in 1993 and proceeded to spend six years in Melbourne furthering many aspects of his mediumistic development and polishing ‘the gift’ of being able to communicate with those departed from this physical world.

He arrived in Brisbane in 1998 to help care for Mrs. Betty Bredt.

During his time in the south east corner of Queensland Sunny has worked extensively giving his time freely and without charge to various spiritual churches and centers. Often booked in excess of 30 public demonstrations a year since the year 2000, Sunny has demonstrated his unique gift to audiences large and small

Anyway this chapter “About Sunny” must come to a close so that the website can progress in its main objective which is as a vehicle to promote humanitarian aid through mediumship and spiritual awareness to those areas of the world in need.
