It’s been over a year since little Joslin Smith disappeared from Saldanha Bay, South Africa—a case that shook the country and left countless people searching for answers.

While authorities have handed down life sentences to those responsible, the haunting mystery of what exactly happened to Joslin still lingers.

And now, one U.S.-based medium claims she’s continuing to hear from the young girl herself—from beyond the grave.

Medium Claims Spirit of Joslin Reaches Out

Paranormal investigator and self-described spiritual justice advocate Kandis Starr has shared another one of her controversial spirit box sessions on YouTube.

Starr believes she has established a spiritual connection with Joslin and hopes these encounters can offer some form of closure to the little girl’s loved ones.

She’s no stranger to criticism, but Starr insists her mission isn’t about internet fame.

“I didn’t start this for clicks,” she says in the video. “I started this because these victims need a voice.

This is about closure, not content.”

A Mother Behind Bars, A Spirit Speaks

Just days before Starr released her latest video, Joslin’s biological mother, Kelly Smith, along with Jacquin “Boeta” Appollis and Steveno van Rhyn, received life sentences for their involvement in Joslin’s disappearance and trafficking.

Joslin’s body has never been found, but Starr believes she has passed away—and that her spirit wants to speak.

In the chilling audio captured during the session, a voice—believed by Starr to be Joslin—makes a series of heart-wrenching and cryptic statements:

“Sick mother”
“Fights off that man”
“I’m hurt, I’m being hurt, I’m just little”
“They have money”
“Has lied… is a lie”
“They are evil”

When asked if she could remember where she had been held, the voice quietly offered: “Landfill… the couch.”

Was Joslin’s Spirit in the Courtroom?

Starr also brought up a moment that had many South Africans talking—a viral clip from the courtroom during the sentencing.

In the video, a light flickers eerily above the heads of the convicted trio, and Kelly Smith looks up, seemingly unnerved.

When Starr asked the spirit voice if it had anything to do with that strange moment, the answer came: “Yes… I haunt them.”

To some, the flickering light is a classic sign of paranormal activity.

On social media, viewers called it a chilling sign that Joslin’s spirit was watching justice unfold.

The Internet Reacts: Skepticism and Support

While many viewers are deeply moved by Starr’s videos, others remain skeptical—questioning the authenticity of the recordings and the ethics behind using a missing child’s story in this way.

Starr has made it clear she expects that pushback. Her message? “Believe me or not, I just want the truth to come out and for Joslin’s soul to rest.”

Closure or Controversy?

As South Africa continues to mourn the tragedy of Joslin Smith, people are still looking for answers—and maybe even signs.

Whether or not you believe in what Kandis Starr is doing, her sessions have sparked important conversations about grief, justice, and what it means to truly move on.
