Hi, 13 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 3: I'm Sandra Champlain. For over twenty five years, I've been 14 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 3: on a journe ernie to prove the existence of life 15 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 3: after death. On each episode, we'll discuss the reasons we 16 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 3: now know that our loved ones have survived physical debt, 17 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 3: and so will we Welcome to Shades of the Afterlife. 18 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 3: If you'd like to just get all cozy, I've got 19 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 3: another great story for you today, and it's a true one. 20 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 3: It's about the Harrison family. If you've been a longtime 21 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 3: listener of Shades of the Afterlife, you know that on 22 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 3: rare occasion I talk about physical mediumship and often you've 23 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 3: heard a gentleman named Eric speak through trance medium Scott Milligan. 24 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 3: Scott Milligan is also one of these rare physical mediums 25 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 3: walking planet Earth today. I don't talk about it much 26 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 3: because it is the hardest to believe form of mediumship 27 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 3: that exists. Most of it is done in the dark 28 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 3: or with just a red light on, and so it's 29 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 3: very easy for the skeptical mind to say this is impossible, 30 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 3: even for yours. Truly, I had to experience it to 31 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 3: believe it. Back in the day, this was the form 32 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 3: of mediumship in the world. Families would get together, they'd sing, 33 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 3: they'd create this joyous harmony for the spirit world to 34 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 3: show up, and how they would show up usually would 35 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 3: be in one of the people in the room could 36 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 3: begin speaking in trance. On rare occasion, physical phenomena would happen. 37 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 3: They had cone shaped pieces of cardboard or would and 38 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 3: they would levitate and often voices would come out of them. 39 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 3: Back around twenty and sixteen, twenty and seventeen, when I 40 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 3: first witnessed physical mediumship, I had the pleasure of also 41 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 3: meeting a lovely lady named Anne Harrison. Anne gave a 42 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 3: presentation about her husband, Tom Harrison's circle with his family 43 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 3: when he was young. Tom passed into the spirit world 44 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 3: around twenty ten, I believe, so now Anne has been 45 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 3: sharing his story. I have a very old video of 46 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 3: Tom talking about the circle and some of the things 47 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 3: that happened. The audio quality is too poor to play here, 48 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 3: but I've had it transcribed, so I will do my 49 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 3: very best to tell you Tom's story in his own 50 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 3: words throughout the internet. Now, there are pictures of some 51 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 3: of these people that had materialized during these circles. They 52 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 3: look a little ghost like. You'll see a face and 53 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: a body that is shrouded in a white cloth. And 54 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 3: the term ectoplasm was something I was so afraid to 55 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 3: talk about because it just seems so ghostbuster like. But 56 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 3: little did I know till I did the research that 57 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 3: Dan Aykroyd, who wrote and starred in the movie Ghostbusters, 58 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 3: his grandfather took part in these seances where the dead 59 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 3: would walk again. I know it's hard to believe, but 60 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,239 Speaker 3: it's one of these great stories that if I didn't 61 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 3: pay honor to the Harrison family and the Saturday Night Club, 62 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 3: I would be disappointed in myself. Right now on planet Earth, 63 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 3: are their physical mediums out there demonstrating. There may be 64 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 3: a handful of them. I do know Scott Milligan is 65 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 3: one of them, but it's very rare that you can 66 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 3: see a demonstration. I do have a page about him 67 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 3: on my website, we Don't Die dot com and just 68 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 3: click on the Scott page. Something you may be interested 69 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 3: in after you hear this episode is learning how to 70 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 3: start one of these circles yourself. He and I recorded 71 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 3: a guide to home circles, So today this is the 72 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 3: story of the home circle held in Middlesbrough in England 73 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 3: with the amazing physical medium named Minnie Harrison, who is 74 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 3: Tom's mom. She was a rare and exceptional physical medium 75 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 3: and she was used by the spirit world to materialize 76 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 3: hundreds of ectoplasmic spirit people babies included her son. Tom 77 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 3: Harrison was a member of that circle and for thirty 78 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 3: years prior to his passing he traveled extensively giving talks 79 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 3: and lectures about the reality of the spirit world and 80 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 3: home circles. And the afterlife, and brought healing and comfort 81 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 3: to hundreds, if not thousands of people. In Tom's words, 82 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 3: he says the circle started in nineteen forty six, after 83 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 3: serving seven years in the army. My mom and dad 84 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 3: and my wife Doris at the time went round to 85 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 3: Sid and Gladys's house on a Saturday night, purely on 86 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 3: a social call. But after two or three weeks, Sid 87 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 3: said one night, why don't we have a circle? So 88 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 3: he said, yeah, why not? We were spiritualists after all, 89 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 3: and my mother at the time had developed into a 90 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 3: trance medium. My mom and my father Joe agreed. Mom 91 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 3: was about fifty one years old at that point. She 92 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 3: was a deep control trance medium, which meant that she 93 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 3: completely went to sleep in the trance state. In that state, 94 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 3: she had no idea what was happening, and we told 95 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 3: her afterwards what had occurred. We began with just the 96 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 3: six of us sitting in our parlor. Within a short time, 97 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 3: Gladys's mother joined us, as her husband Sam had passed 98 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 3: away only a few months earlier. After about seven or 99 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 3: eight months, mister Britton Jones joined us, and he was 100 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 3: a surgeon and the superintendent of the Middleford General Hospital 101 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 3: where Doris served her time as a nurse. So eventually 102 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 3: that was eight of us and we called ourselves the 103 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 3: Saturday Night Club because we met on Saturday night. I 104 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 3: tell you this story not relying on my memory. You see, 105 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 3: I have two large books which I recorded every session 106 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 3: and exactly what happened. What you are about to hear 107 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 3: may seem impossible, it may boggle the mind, and often 108 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 3: people think it's fraudulent because it is so rare, extremely rare. 109 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 3: But let me assure you that everything you hear happened. 110 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 3: I was there and I'm not telling you something about 111 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 3: someone else. I'm telling you something that has happened to me. 112 00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 3: I experienced all these things between nineteen forty six, in 113 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 3: nineteen fifty four and our home circle in Middlesbrough with 114 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 3: my mother Minnie Harrison, as the medium. Let me start 115 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 3: by telling you the difference between mental phenomena and physical phenomena. 116 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 3: Mental psychic phenomena is where there is a medium and 117 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 3: that medium is nothing more than a television set or 118 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 3: a radio set. Mental mediums pick up radio waves and 119 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 3: television waves that go through the air. This kind of 120 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 3: medium picks up spiritual vibrations. The psychic energy, either from 121 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 3: you or from the spirit people who are around us. 122 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 3: And they are around us, and they're around us all 123 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 3: the time. They don't interfere with our lives. They don't 124 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 3: tell us what to do, but they're there to help 125 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 3: us when we need it. Mental mediums are often clairvoyant, 126 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 3: meaning they can see spirit people. They can see them 127 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 3: either objectively or they see them as a little kind 128 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 3: of picture in their mind. Claire Audience. They hear. That 129 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 3: means they can hear the spirit people talking to them 130 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 3: with physical phenomena. It happens in the room in the 131 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 3: circle a group like we are. If it happened here, 132 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 3: everybody in the room sees it and hears it. It 133 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 3: is absolutely physical. My mother was brought up in a 134 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 3: spiritualist family and was a medium all of her life 135 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 3: in various ways. By the time I left the army 136 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 3: in nineteen forty six after World War II, she had 137 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 3: developed into a trance medium. As I said earlier, a 138 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 3: trance medium is where a person seems to go to sleep. 139 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 3: A spirit person can take over and use their body 140 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 3: and speak to you, being an entirely different person than 141 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 3: the medium. That is often called a trance control My 142 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 3: mother was controlled by her sister in spirit. Her name 143 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 3: was missus Abbott, but she was aunt Ag to us, 144 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 3: and you'll hear about Aunt Ag and I have many 145 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 3: pictures of Aunt Egg. When she was alive. She was 146 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 3: a medium too. She had her own home circle, a 147 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 3: trumpet circle. I'll explain about the trumpet soon. I'm coming 148 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 3: to it. And she passed over in nineteen forty two 149 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 3: and was in this spirit world about four years before 150 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 3: working with my mother. The empathy between my mother and 151 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 3: Aunt Egg was tremendous. My mother could be sitting in 152 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 3: her chair and she would do this all the time. 153 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 3: Her eyes would close and suddenly there would be a 154 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 3: smile on her face. Mom had let go and Aunt 155 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 3: Ag would take over in the communications. It was simple 156 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 3: as that we were very, very fortunate and privileged to 157 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 3: have Aunt Egg as a medium in our circle. Was 158 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 3: aunt Agg the only guide that controlled my mother? Oh no, no. 159 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 3: My mother's main guide was a North American Indian called Sunrise, 160 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 3: who in effect was the doorkeeper for the circle, making 161 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 3: sure on the spirit side that mischievous spirits didn't come in. 162 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 3: He could be likened, of course, to Aunt Agg's guide 163 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 3: Running Water, who did the same for Aunt Agg's circles. 164 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 3: When she was alive. We were told by the Native 165 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 3: American to sit for trumpet phenomena, that we would achieve it. 166 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 3: And we thought, well, there's no way we could get 167 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 3: trumpet phenomena. Oh of little faith, as I always say, 168 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 3: But we did. We made a couple of trumpets. I 169 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 3: made one cardboard, one tin, one out of wood, and 170 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 3: we put little spots of luminescent paints on the end 171 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,719 Speaker 3: of each trumpet so we could see where it was 172 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 3: at any time in the room and if it was moving. 173 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 3: The third night, the third city, while we were in 174 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 3: the dark, not a lot happened. We sang bright and 175 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 3: cheerful songs, and when the light came on, Sid picked 176 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 3: up the cardboard trumpet, looked under it and said, who 177 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 3: put that there? Mind you? There were only six of 178 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 3: us back then, which one of you was it? On 179 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 3: the floor under the trumpet was a small white flower blossom, 180 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 3: just like a cherry blossom. We each claimed we didn't 181 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 3: put it there. This, we learned, was our very first apport. 182 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 3: An appport is a material thing, a physical thing like 183 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 3: a watch, a bell, a piece of paper, anything that's 184 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 3: brought into the room. Without physical contact, the spirit world 185 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 3: can dematerialize it and re materialize it in the room. 186 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 3: All right, my friends, this is the perfect time to 187 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 3: take our first break, and then we'll be back with 188 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 3: more stories from Tom Harrison and his Saturday night club, 189 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 3: the things that happened in that room and the people 190 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 3: that showed up from the spirit world.

Now back to 199 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: Shades of the Afterlife with Sandra Champlain. 200 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 3: Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain. 201 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 3: I'm telling the words of Tom Harrison, whose mother was 202 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 3: one of the most famous physical mediums in the world. 203 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 3: Her name was Minnie, and they sat in a home 204 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 3: circle in the nineteen forties into the fifties. Their very 205 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 3: first sign from the spirit world was getting a small 206 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 3: airport which was just a petal of a flower that 207 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 3: was underneath one of the trumpets. He continues, over the years, 208 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 3: we've had hundreds of airports, hundreds of flowers. Particularly. We 209 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 3: also got things like a Royal soldier's button, which came 210 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 3: on what we called Soldiers Night, the Saturday nearest to 211 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 3: November the eleventh, and on another occasion, on one of 212 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 3: those nights, we had a beautiful poppy outported in. This 213 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 3: was a cloth poppy, not one of the current plastic ones. 214 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 3: And when sunrise came on the fifty second sitting, he 215 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 3: built himself from the ground up and brought with him 216 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 3: a beautiful feather. In January of nineteen fifty four, at 217 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 3: a special sitting, we received an apport, a little bell 218 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 3: which still rings today and hasn't lost its shine for 219 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 3: us though. By the fifth week we had a voice 220 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 3: coming through one of the trumpets. This was fast and 221 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 3: remarkable progress. Five weeks of sitting. People sit for years 222 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 3: and get nothing. I know we were privileged. What I 223 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 3: hadn't realized was for those war years, when my mother 224 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 3: and father and Doris were going around there, the spirit 225 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 3: people were building power. They were creating an energy in 226 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 3: that room. When we started sitting, they were able to 227 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 3: draw and use that energy. On that fifth week, one 228 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 3: of those trumpets lifted. We heard a voice and the 229 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 3: voice said, I am trying, I am trying, and that 230 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 3: was it. But that was aunt Ag, my mother's sister. 231 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 3: It was the first time she tried to speak. Since then, 232 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 3: we've had hundreds of voices come through the trumpets over 233 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 3: the years. One particular man was Sam Gladys's dad, who 234 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 3: had such an affinity for the trumpet. He came most weeks. 235 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 3: He could speak through it so clearly, the same way 236 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 3: he used to speak when he was alive. Other people 237 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 3: found it very difficult. I don't think it's easy for 238 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 3: the spirit people to learn the technique of speaking through 239 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 3: the trumpet, but Sam mastered it and used it regularly. 240 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 3: Thirty weeks into sitting. We had different kinds of phenomena too. 241 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 3: We had spirit lights appear out of nowhere, beautiful lights shining, 242 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 3: going on, going off, all part of the circle's development. 243 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 3: Then we had spirit writing, and I don't mean automatic writing. 244 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 3: We used to put a piece of paper on a board, 245 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 3: leave a pencil and set it in the center of 246 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 3: the room. Some would say sh listen, listen and you 247 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 3: could hear the pencil moving on the paper. And when 248 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 3: we were finished and the light came on, there was 249 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 3: writing done on the paper. We had names that were 250 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 3: on the paper, Jack, Agnes, Mona Ivy. Also one person 251 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 3: wrote not blind now, and we wondered what that was about. 252 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 3: It was a good friend of the families who had 253 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 3: been blind when he was here. He was in the 254 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 3: spirit world now and he put not blind now. I'd 255 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 3: like to talk now about ectoplo and materialization. Ectoplasm is material. 256 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 3: It's solid material. It's not ghostly, it's not airy fairy. 257 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 3: It's a solid material and it's vibrant. It's a material 258 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 3: between the spirit world and the physical world, and they 259 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 3: can do anything with it. When they were experimenting, they 260 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 3: put their hands in front of a plaque. We saw 261 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 3: fingers first, then we saw a hand. Then we saw 262 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 3: two hands, different sized hands, And the plaque was being 263 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 3: moved around by the spirit people, not by us, and 264 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 3: it moved around the room so that we could all 265 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 3: see their hands, and then we were allowed to touch 266 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 3: their hands. You must know that you don't do anything 267 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 3: without asking permission from the spirit people. You work in cooperation. 268 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 3: You give, they give, and then we all receive. When 269 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 3: we touched them, their hands felt like our hands, fleshy hands. 270 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 3: We asked them if it would be possible to see 271 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 3: them with a red light on. We all wanted that, 272 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 3: we were hoping to see materialization in the red light, 273 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 3: so they approved. We had the red light on. We 274 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 3: sang our bright and cheerful songs, and in the middle 275 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 3: of the room we saw whiteness on the floor and 276 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 3: it started building up. You must know, my mother is 277 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 3: still sitting there. She's in the corner of the room. 278 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 3: And as we're watching this white form build and suddenly 279 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 3: it was a person with a face, two hands and 280 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 3: two arms stretched out towards me. I was sitting there, 281 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 3: a bit apprehensive, for sure, but I wasn't frightened. I 282 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 3: had been to Helen Duncan's circle before the war, so 283 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 3: I witnessed some of this. Two hands came out towards mine, 284 00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 3: held my hands and put four carnation flowers in my hands. 285 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,479 Speaker 3: Now these were apports. Aunt Agg, who was the lady 286 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 3: standing there, had brought me four carnations. She said, these 287 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 3: are for you, Tom. I was sitting there, I could 288 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 3: feel her, I could feel these flowers. I was holding 289 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 3: them so tightly. The word I would use is gobsmacked. 290 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 3: Getting these flowers from a woman who passed four years ago. 291 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 3: We could all see her. That was our first full materialization. 292 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 3: We were then told that we could bring some guests 293 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 3: into the circle. We brought mister Jones. He was a surgeon, 294 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 3: a medical man, highly respectable and very well known throughout 295 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 3: the Northeast. Mister Jones had mentioned that if he met 296 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 3: aunt Eg that he would like to feel her pulse. 297 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 3: At the next sitting, Aunt Egg materialized. She said, mister Jones, 298 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 3: I understand you'd like to take my pulse. She held 299 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 3: out her arm, lifted her robe. The red light was on, 300 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 3: and he stood up. He put his fingers on her 301 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 3: wrist the correct way and stood there for about half 302 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 3: a minute. He said to her, thank you, missus Hammond, 303 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 3: you live. In other words, the pulse was there, A 304 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 3: strong pulse was there. She said, thank you, mister Jones. 305 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 3: I am living and I will continue to live. Isn't 306 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 3: that wonderful? We all witnessed it, a materialized person standing 307 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 3: there talking to mister Jones, saying I am living and 308 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 3: I will continue. Mister Britton Jones became a real asset 309 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 3: to our circle. In May nineteen forty seven, he was 310 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 3: given permission to cut a piece of ectoplasm from aunt 311 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 3: AG's robe, which was then put into a jar and 312 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 3: set on the mantlepiece. At the time. The spirit people 313 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 3: also put a liquid into the jar. Mister Jones took 314 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 3: it with him to the hospital centrifuged it and came 315 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 3: up with a crystalline substance very similar to Bleach. Let 316 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 3: me stress here that before you do any experiments of 317 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 3: this nature in your home circle, that you have the 318 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 3: full permission and authority of your spirit helpers, because the 319 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 3: safety of the medium, who was in complete trance at 320 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 3: the time, is of paramount importance. As for photographs, in 321 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 3: October nineteen forty seven, we got the first one. First, 322 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 3: it was very hit or miss because it was all 323 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 3: taken in a simple red light, not very bright, but sufficient. 324 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 3: The first picture we got was Granny Lumsden standing by 325 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 3: the side of the fireplace. A couple months later, in 326 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 3: January ninth, eighteen forty eight, we were able to take 327 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 3: some more photographs. The exposure times varied from two minutes 328 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 3: to seven minutes. We had the camera set up on 329 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 3: the tripod the same tripod used every time I found 330 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 3: a photograph of Granny, and she looks exactly like the 331 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 3: person who materialized in our circle. She was very small, 332 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 3: about four foot eleven, a real chatty person who used 333 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 3: to dash around and in the spirit world, she has 334 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 3: the same personality, same Granny. She used to love to 335 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 3: chat to the guests in the circle. One night, she 336 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 3: said to one of the guests, would you like to 337 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 3: feel my feet? Love? So, I said, Granny, what did 338 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 3: you say, feel your feet? Yes? Yes, I thought our 339 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 3: guest might like to feel my feet. Well, I said, 340 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 3: why should she want to feel your feet? She said, 341 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 3: when I lived here on your side, I was warm, 342 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 3: but my feet were always stone cold. I suffered from 343 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 3: cold feet, and when I get back into this stuff, 344 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 3: I'm warm, but my feet are still cold. Granny said, 345 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 3: come on, let's have a go. This was the kind 346 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 3: of atmosphere our home circle was. So I said to 347 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 3: the woman, okay. I bent down with the woman and said, Granny, 348 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 3: put your foot up. I lifted her foot and held 349 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 3: it in my hand. We touched her foot. It was 350 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 3: stone cold. I even said, good Heavens. Then I said, 351 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 3: let's find your hand. That was quite warm. Granny said, well, 352 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 3: I told you didn't I I told you my feet 353 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 3: were cold. We all had a real good laugh. And 354 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 3: then one week when we had no guests, I said 355 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 3: to Granny, Hey, Granny, are your feet still cold tonight? 356 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 3: She said no, no, not tonight. I said, come on now, 357 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 3: you said that when you get into this stuff your 358 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 3: feet are always cold. She said, yes, that's right. So 359 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 3: I said, well, what do you say. She says, well, 360 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 3: we haven't got any guests tonight, so I haven't brought 361 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 3: my feet. I said, you what. She bent down, lifted 362 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 3: up the gown, pulled it waist high, and there was nothing. 363 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 3: Granny was standing there, moving around the room, but there 364 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 3: was nothing below the waist. I could see straight through 365 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 3: her to my father on the other side. She dropped 366 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 3: her gown down and moved about. It's really wonderful what 367 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 3: they can do. We can't understand it, and we can't 368 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 3: explain it. They can't even explain it to us. But 369 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 3: there she was, complete with no feet, and we all 370 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 3: had a good laugh. You'll be very happy to know 371 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 3: that before Tom passed, he wrote a book. It's called 372 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 3: Life After Death Living Proof, and there is a picture 373 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 3: of Granny Lumsden on the front cover and Aunt Agg 374 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 3: inside the book. And the book is loaded with stories 375 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 3: and pictures. We'll be back in a moment with more 376 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 3: stories from the Saturday Night Club. You're listening to Shades 377 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 3: of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio than Coast to Coast 378 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 3: AM Paranormal Podcast Network. 379 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere. There's more Shades of the Afterlife coming 380 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: right up. 381 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 4: On the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. 382 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 4: Listen anytime, anyplace. 383 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,959 Speaker 1: Hey everyone, it's the Wizard of Weird Joshua pe Warren 384 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: and now here's more Shape of the Afterlife. 385 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 3: Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain 386 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 3: and we're hearing stories from mister Tom Harrison about the 387 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 3: home circle he and his family and friends had called 388 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 3: the Saturday Night Club back in the forties and early 389 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 3: nineteen fifties. You might be thinking to yourself at this point, 390 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 3: if physical mediumship is real and it's so great, why 391 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 3: haven't I heard about it before? I can tell you 392 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 3: this was the predominant form of mediumship back in the 393 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 3: eighteen hundreds early nineteen hundreds, but as the Great Wars 394 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 3: came of course, there was a lot of death. It 395 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 3: gave rise to con artists having so called seances, telling 396 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 3: people they could bring in their deceased loved ones. All 397 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 3: kinds of magic tricks were invented. People fell prey to 398 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 3: it and lost not only a lot of money, but 399 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 3: lost the belief in the reality of these circles. Many 400 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 3: circles continued, and I believe they continue to this day. 401 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 3: But because they're done in the dark with a little 402 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 3: red light on to invite in someone from the public, 403 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 3: it can be very open to ridicule. The good news 404 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 3: is the spirit world knew they wanted to continue working 405 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 3: with people to let people know that they're still around, 406 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 3: and the birth of evidential or mental mediumship started. You 407 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 3: can research names like Gordon Higginson who had all the 408 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 3: kinds of mediumship. It was an evidential medium, also a 409 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 3: physical medium and a trance medium. There's an older gentleman 410 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 3: still around, Stuart Alexander, but he started the Noah's Arc Society. 411 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 3: They had a newsletter that would go out and people 412 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 3: could learn how to have their own circles, and they 413 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 3: could write in and report what was happening in the circles. 414 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 3: He even published an audio set of old time spiritualists 415 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 3: telling their stories of what happened in the seance room. 416 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 3: I can tell you where to find that later, but 417 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 3: rest shored. The book Life After Death Living Proof by 418 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 3: Tom Harrison is filled with stories. Tom's wife Doris passed 419 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 3: before he did, and Tom remarried, and he married Anne, 420 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 3: and I told you I met several years ago. Ann 421 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 3: has been in touch with Tom through these home circles 422 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 3: of Stuart Alexander, and she's so passionate about sharing physical 423 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 3: mediumship and these connections through the veil. She wrote a 424 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 3: book called Harrison Connections Tom Harrison's desire to communicate. Plus 425 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 3: she created a publishing company, the Saturday Night Press, which 426 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 3: publishes books on physical mediumship and more. So let's continue 427 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 3: with some words from Tom about the photographs. Like I 428 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 3: said before, within the book, Tom's got lots of pictures. 429 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 3: One is a picture of his grandfather who's in the 430 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 3: spirit world, standing next to Tom's dad who was not 431 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 3: in the spirit world, complete with a long black beard 432 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 3: that he had. He also has a picture of his 433 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 3: mother Mini and the ectoplasmic rod holding the trumpet out. 434 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 3: In time, they started using infrared technology to capture the pictures. 435 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 3: Tom wants everybody to remember that the reason these people 436 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 3: could materialize is because they were always connected through ectoplasm 437 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 3: underneath the curtain. Back to his mother Minnie sitting in 438 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,479 Speaker 3: the corner of the room. It's often asked, when you 439 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 3: see these people, why are they wearing a robe and 440 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 3: why can you only see their face not their whole head. 441 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 3: Tom says the answer is simple, it's because of taking 442 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 3: a photograph. It takes a tremendous amount of power and 443 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 3: energy for them to put their likeness on a picture. 444 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 3: In their normal circle. Without the photographs being taken, they 445 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 3: could see the hair, the face. More details. Tom shares 446 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 3: about the voice box that it was built with ectoplast 447 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 3: inside the trumpet and allowed people to speak with their 448 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 3: own voice, or they used his mother's voice box, but 449 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 3: still it sounded like their own voice, and the trumpet 450 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 3: amplified the voice. I'd like to read to you now 451 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 3: some of the notes from the sittings from Tom Harrison's book. 452 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 3: December twenty eighth guests Missus Shipman, their relatives John Newton 453 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 3: and Marjorie, and my mother's sister Mary on holiday from Bristol. 454 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 3: An ag built first to greet her sister, who in 455 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 3: her young days was an excellent mental medium. She then 456 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 3: spoke and shook hands with John and Marjorie. Grannie Newton followed, 457 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 3: joined John and Marjorie's hands and gave them a chrysanthemum. 458 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 3: Grannie Lumsden came for Doris, held her hand and said 459 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 3: they were doing all they could do to help her. 460 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 3: Mister Shipman then Built took hold of Sydney and Missus 461 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 3: Shipman's hands, but was unable to speak. The last to 462 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 3: build was my father's mother, Grandma Harrison, who stood Dad 463 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 3: and me up one on each side of her in 464 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 3: the middle of the room, keeping hold of her hands. 465 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 3: She said God bless you to my father and called 466 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 3: me Sonny, by which name I was known to the 467 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 3: family for many years and was the only name my 468 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 3: grandmother ever used to me. Before passing to the spirit world. 469 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 3: Sunrise spoke again, just to say farewell, a new word 470 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 3: for him. January fourth guests Aunt Mary, Missus Irwin, who 471 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 3: was the wife of mister Jones's closest surgeon colleague at 472 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 3: the hospital. Sam Built, gave Gladys a chrysanthem and flower 473 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 3: and held her hand very tightly. Aunt ag came again, 474 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 3: spoke very clearly, gave Aunt Mary a flower, walked around 475 00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 3: the room, shook hands with missus Irwin, mister Jones, and 476 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 3: my father. I was able to feel her gossamer like robe, 477 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 3: which was wonderfully soft. I asked her whether Uncle Jack 478 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 3: could come to meet his sister Mary, which he did next, 479 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 3: but could not stay long and was only able to 480 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,439 Speaker 3: say Hello Mary. But at least they met and saw 481 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 3: each other face to face. Mister Jones's mother then built 482 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 3: quite clearly, called him Brit my boy, and he introduced 483 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 3: her to missus Irwin. Missus Irwin's grandmother then built, but 484 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 3: unfortunately was not strong enough to speak. Sunrise told us 485 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 3: the power had gone and we needed to sing again, 486 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 3: which of course we did January eleventh. Only six sitters tonight, 487 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 3: as both missus h and mister Jay were away. We 488 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 3: started at eight pm with the brighter light again, and 489 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 3: nothing happened until eight forty five, when Sunrise controlled my 490 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 3: mother to say that the light was still too bright 491 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 3: without a cabinet. We dimmed it and continued to sit. 492 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 3: Mona Hildred built very clearly to bring Gladys a flower 493 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 3: for her mother's birthday. That very day, my father's father 494 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 3: built clearly, but could not speak much. Doris's aunt Ada 495 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 3: then came to give her a carnation. Finally, sam Hildred 496 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,240 Speaker 3: built and gave Gladys a flower for his wife's birthday. 497 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 3: Special note. Before we dimmed the red light, Sunrise said 498 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,959 Speaker 3: he would try to show us the ectoplasm coming from 499 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,919 Speaker 3: my mother. We soon saw a white mass in front 500 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 3: of my mother's stomach, which gradually extended for about twelve inches, 501 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 3: stayed there for three to four minutes, and then gradually 502 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 3: went back and disappeared. A very interesting and instructive experiment. 503 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:56,720 Speaker 3: Sunrise then commented on two other matters. Firstly, since sitting 504 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 3: thirty two, we had no trumpet voices, only materializations, he 505 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 3: said we could have the trumpet again whenever we wished, 506 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 3: without any special notice or preparation. Secondly, we could have 507 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 3: a brighter light for the materialized forms if my mother 508 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 3: was partitioned off sitting behind a curtain in a cabinet. 509 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 3: A cabinet in seance terms is usually a tall, four 510 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,320 Speaker 3: sided enclosure in which the medium sits. The front of 511 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 3: it has a curtain which can be drawn or held 512 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 3: back by the spirit people When necessary. We thanked him 513 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 3: for the excellent news, and by the following week Sydney 514 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 3: had fixed a long piece of blackout curtain to a 515 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 3: wooden pole which rested on the picture rail across the 516 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 3: corner to the left hand side of the fireplace to 517 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 3: create a simple cabinet. The space above the pole to 518 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 3: the ceiling caused them no problems, and that acted as 519 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 3: our cabinet for all the years we sat. January eighteenth, 520 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 3: first sitting with the cabinet, which was used from this 521 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 3: week onwards. Tried with a brighter light, but had to 522 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 3: dim it this time on request from Sunrise. First to 523 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:19,360 Speaker 3: build was Granny Harrison, my father's grandmother, who stayed only 524 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:23,439 Speaker 3: a few minutes and was unable to speak. Aunt Ag 525 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 3: followed standing just free of the curtain alongside the fireplace. 526 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 3: As I went over to meet her, I talked to 527 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,720 Speaker 3: her about them signing their names on the sheet of paper, 528 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 3: and I asked whether she perhaps sign her name in 529 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 3: my notebook using my pen. After a little hesitation and chuckle, 530 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 3: she said she had not held a pen for many years, 531 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 3: but she would see what she could do. She took 532 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 3: my pen in her hand. I held my notebook in 533 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 3: front of her, and she signed her name Agnes, splendid 534 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:03,240 Speaker 3: evidence of her physical presence in an ectoplasmic body. Uncle 535 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 3: Jack came later, shook hands with everyone, and told me 536 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,479 Speaker 3: he would sign his name next week. After uncle Jack went, 537 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 3: sam Hildred built for only a few minutes, and finally 538 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 3: Uncle Jack came back to hand me two flowers for 539 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 3: his daughter's birthday on the twenty third of January. It 540 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 3: was particularly interesting that he called her by his nickname 541 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 3: for her, Bunn. Her real name was Bessie. I was 542 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 3: delighted to take her the flowers the following Sunday. Can 543 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 3: you hear it in my voice how much I love 544 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,839 Speaker 3: these stories. It seems so hard to believe, but I know. 545 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,760 Speaker 3: I've sat in seances with Scott Milligan. I've been touched 546 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 3: by spirit people's hands. I have felt them, I've felt 547 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 3: the warmth. I've heard children in the room, presents being unwrapped, 548 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 3: things played with trumpets, fled vating around the room, stopping 549 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 3: right in front of my face and talking to me. 550 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 3: It's awesome. When we get back from the break, some 551 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 3: more stories, and then how you can get involved with 552 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 3: physical mediumship. We'll be right back. You're listening to Shades 553 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,959 Speaker 3: of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast 554 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 3: AM Paranormal Podcast Network. 555 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:32,760 Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere. 556 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 2: There's more Shades of the Afterlife coming right up. 557 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 4: Hey, it's producer Tom and you're right where you need 558 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,320 Speaker 4: to be. This is the iHeart Radio and Coast to 559 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,840 Speaker 4: Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. 560 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 2: Happy holidays from all of us at the iHeartRadio and 561 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 2: Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. 562 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: Now back to Shades of the app Life. What's Sandra Champlain? 563 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 3: Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain, 564 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 3: and I hope you're enjoying this conversation about physical mediumship. 565 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 3: I love it. I always think if you want to 566 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 3: know that the afterlife is real, do your own experiments, 567 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 3: do your own reading, get involved, talk to your loved ones, 568 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 3: take a course in mediumship. So many different ways to 569 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 3: do it. I don't know if you've been following what 570 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 3: we've been up to it. We don't Die dot com, 571 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,959 Speaker 3: but we're now producing our second movie, which is going 572 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 3: to be about evidential mediumship. I really recommend that people 573 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,720 Speaker 3: take a class in mediumship, not to be a medium, 574 00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 3: but because you understand how your psychic communication system works, 575 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 3: how you give and perceive information, and mediumship is just 576 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:09,240 Speaker 3: one slice of that psychic pie. And when you're able 577 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 3: to give a reading to another person, even if not 578 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 3: all of it is correct because you're practicing, but you 579 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 3: actually feel like you are that spirit person. You experience 580 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:25,320 Speaker 3: memories that aren't associated with your life. You may taste 581 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,880 Speaker 3: a certain dessert on your tongue, or beer, or smell 582 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,360 Speaker 3: a cigarette smoke, or hear a song. There's so many things, 583 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 3: and then when you verbalize them to your partner in 584 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 3: the Zoom breakout room and they say, yes, it's amazing 585 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 3: to feel what it feels like. And to me, that's 586 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 3: one of the best ways to know that the afterlife 587 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 3: is real. The movie, which you can follow how we're 588 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 3: doing on it at mediummovie dot com, follows the teachings 589 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:59,800 Speaker 3: of Carrie McLoud and Phil Dikes that you heard on Shades, 590 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 3: episode number two of What Mediumship Is, What It Isn't. 591 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 3: And I've been rather anti mediums lately because far too 592 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 3: many of them are not very good. They charge two 593 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,479 Speaker 3: hundred three hundred, four hundred eight hundred dollars an hour, 594 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 3: and I've received so many emails about poor quality of 595 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,320 Speaker 3: readings and negative things people have said about their loved 596 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 3: ones with no ethics. So we're out to raise the 597 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 3: level of mediumship, make sure mediums have a money back guarantee, 598 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,399 Speaker 3: and so much more. So, Yes, come join us take 599 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 3: a class. And I say that because sitting for the 600 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 3: spirit world yourself, whether you want to create a home 601 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,080 Speaker 3: circle where you just want to learn how to have 602 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:48,240 Speaker 3: that gentle blend with your spirit team. To me, Scott 603 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 3: Milligan is the best teacher for trance, the Altered States, 604 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 3: and physical mediumship. We created a guide to home circles, 605 00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:01,319 Speaker 3: complete with music to play, how to sit, how to 606 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:06,399 Speaker 3: get your sitters, over twenty hours of material for less 607 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 3: than one hundred dollars with a money back guarantee. Maybe 608 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,840 Speaker 3: your thing may not be your thing, but I wanted 609 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 3: to throw it to you out there because we would 610 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 3: all like to experience these things. What could be better 611 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,399 Speaker 3: than having it develop in your own home with your 612 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 3: own spirit team without risk. There's no reward. That's what 613 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:30,000 Speaker 3: my dad always used to say. I would like nothing 614 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 3: more than to have physical entrance mediumship be more prevalent 615 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 3: in the world. To attend a physical medium seance is 616 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 3: rare to do. I know Scott Milligan does them a 617 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 3: few times a year. You can find him at We 618 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:50,799 Speaker 3: Don'tdie dot com. Just click on Scott Milligan you can 619 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 3: see his upcoming events what we have online that Home 620 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,440 Speaker 3: Circle course. Also earlier I told you about the recordings 621 00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 3: from the Noah's Arks Society through Stuart Alexander. You can 622 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,280 Speaker 3: find those on that page as well. There are physical 623 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 3: mediums out there that are charging a lot of money 624 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 3: that are doing some weird stuff. For instance, gemstones come 625 00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 3: out of places that shouldn't come out of those places. 626 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 3: On a human body, there's not evidence of the spirit world. 627 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:27,719 Speaker 3: But let your soul and your common sense dictate what's 628 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 3: right what's wrong. Okay, when something seems too good to 629 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 3: be true, very often it is. But I know from 630 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:39,320 Speaker 3: my own experiences with wonderful courses with Carrie and Phil 631 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 3: and Scott that they are real. Let me get back 632 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,640 Speaker 3: to the Noah's Arc Society for a moment. Our friend 633 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:53,240 Speaker 3: Nick from Banyard Retreat created a website, Noah's Arcsociety archive 634 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,960 Speaker 3: dot org. That is a place that you can go 635 00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:01,120 Speaker 3: and find all the newsletters from all the people that 636 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 3: were practicing these home circles around the world. Also, I 637 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:14,239 Speaker 3: invite you to visit Anne Harrison's website. Snppbooks dot com 638 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 3: stands for the Saturday Night Press Publications Books dot Com 639 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,320 Speaker 3: and the book I've been talking about and reading from 640 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:27,799 Speaker 3: is Life After Death Living Proof by Tom Harrison. We 641 00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,240 Speaker 3: have time for another story from the Saturday Night Club 642 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:38,800 Speaker 3: January twenty fifth guest Missus Shipman. First materialization was mister Shipman, 643 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 3: who handed two tulips to his wife, Ivy. Hudson then 644 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,760 Speaker 3: built and brought a tulip for her father's birthday today, 645 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,439 Speaker 3: which Doris was delighted to take to him the next day. 646 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,719 Speaker 3: Sunrise then said there was a gentleman present who was 647 00:45:54,800 --> 00:46:00,920 Speaker 3: unable to build, but gave the initials JJ, followed by Thompson, 648 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:06,239 Speaker 3: who was recognized by mister Jones as the district tuberculosis 649 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 3: officer from Darlington. His message to mister Jay was that 650 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,560 Speaker 3: he was on the right lines, which pleased mister j 651 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,960 Speaker 3: greatly as this was only his third sitting and now 652 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,240 Speaker 3: he was a regular member of our circle. On Agg 653 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,759 Speaker 3: came for her usual chat with mister Jones and he 654 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 3: felt her pulse again. Sunrise said there was only enough 655 00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 3: power left for one more and Sam and Uncle Jack 656 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,320 Speaker 3: had to decide who would come. Sam agreed it should 657 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,879 Speaker 3: be Uncle Jack so he could sign his name, which 658 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,440 Speaker 3: he did. He did comment that it didn't feel like 659 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 3: he was using his hand, which I suppose was quite 660 00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:53,839 Speaker 3: likely as he had been passed over for almost twenty years. Fortunately, 661 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,920 Speaker 3: Sam was still able to build for a few moments, 662 00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:02,840 Speaker 3: and missus Hildred kissed him. She said his face felt 663 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:09,440 Speaker 3: quite flesh like and alive. Another splendid evening, February fifteenth, 664 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 3: Sunrise and Sam both spoke through the trumpet each for 665 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 3: about ten minutes. Sam was explaining about the different planes 666 00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:23,360 Speaker 3: in the spirit world, as he said, like Middlesbrough and 667 00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:28,160 Speaker 3: Redcar a seaside resort about ten miles away, so you 668 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,680 Speaker 3: can visit other people but aren't always very close to 669 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:36,919 Speaker 3: each other. Then mister Rhder materialized. This time he felt 670 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,920 Speaker 3: much stronger. He invited us all to feel his beard, 671 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,440 Speaker 3: which felt very natural. There were three tulips on the 672 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:48,720 Speaker 3: floor when we switched on the light. February twenty second. 673 00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,840 Speaker 3: This turned out to be a most memorable sitting. After 674 00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:57,000 Speaker 3: three spirit visitors had spoken through the trumpet. My mother's 675 00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:03,160 Speaker 3: father Granddad Bessant materialized, so this was a very special 676 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:07,480 Speaker 3: occasion for me. Granddad had passed almost thirty years earlier 677 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,400 Speaker 3: when I was only a few months old, and although 678 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,360 Speaker 3: he had nursed me, talked to me, and showed me 679 00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:17,319 Speaker 3: much affection, I had no recollection of him now here. 680 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:21,399 Speaker 3: He was a tall, upright man, complete with a dark 681 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:25,080 Speaker 3: mustache and a full beard. I walked across to him 682 00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:29,440 Speaker 3: and felt his strong grip as we held hands, hands 683 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,759 Speaker 3: much larger than my mother's. It was a very emotional 684 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,799 Speaker 3: moment for me and for him too. I suppose he 685 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,960 Speaker 3: stayed and talked for about three minutes, and although I 686 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 3: cannot recall what we said to each other, I remember 687 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,880 Speaker 3: him saying, feel my beard, boy, feel my beard. I 688 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,920 Speaker 3: reached up for he was much taller than me and 689 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:53,800 Speaker 3: felt this very soft hair, which was of course ectoplasm 690 00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,560 Speaker 3: and yet another form. When we told my mother after 691 00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,640 Speaker 3: the sitting, she was as thrilled as I and commented 692 00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,600 Speaker 3: that he had always been very proud of his beard 693 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,719 Speaker 3: and had tended to it daily, hence his request for 694 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:13,040 Speaker 3: me to feel it. So his physical appearance was still 695 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:16,560 Speaker 3: as important to him now as it had been before 696 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 3: his passing. And he wanted me to share it with him. 697 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,600 Speaker 3: The Saturday Night Club was over eight years old. There 698 00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:28,719 Speaker 3: were plenty of experiments and requests they had of the 699 00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:34,760 Speaker 3: spirit world, but unfortunately Tom's mother, Minnie Harrison, battled cancer 700 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:39,680 Speaker 3: and lost that battle in nineteen fifty eight. Tom spent 701 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:45,040 Speaker 3: the rest of his remaining days until twoenty ten sharing 702 00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:49,240 Speaker 3: the good word of the reality of the afterlife. Now, 703 00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:53,000 Speaker 3: Anne Harrison holds the torch and I will do my 704 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,920 Speaker 3: very best, along with my other friends at we Don't 705 00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:01,200 Speaker 3: Die dot Com, to keep it going. Here's some final 706 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:05,480 Speaker 3: words from Tom. In the thirty years before moving to Spain, 707 00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:09,080 Speaker 3: when I gave my illustrated talks about the Circle, I 708 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,480 Speaker 3: always invited questions and comments from the audience at the 709 00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:16,000 Speaker 3: end of each talk. Unfortunately, at the end of the 710 00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,920 Speaker 3: book there can be no such open session, but for 711 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:23,080 Speaker 3: those readers wishing to investigate further, there will always be 712 00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:27,640 Speaker 3: someone or some reliable and helpful organization to turn to 713 00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:32,560 Speaker 3: seek and ye shall find. What was witnessed in our 714 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:38,480 Speaker 3: home circle was undeniable, living proof to all of those present, 715 00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,800 Speaker 3: but can never be proof to anyone else, and I 716 00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 3: would never suggest it should be for you, as the reader, 717 00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,839 Speaker 3: it can be nothing more than evidence. I trust I 718 00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:53,200 Speaker 3: have impressed you as a genuine and honest witness. I 719 00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:57,040 Speaker 3: have no reason whatsoever to be otherwise. But as Professor 720 00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:02,320 Speaker 3: Fontana says, the final judgment is to yours. Accept only 721 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:06,799 Speaker 3: what appeals to your reasoning and current level of understanding, 722 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 3: bearing in mind how perception changes with increased knowledge, and 723 00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,360 Speaker 3: what at the beginning of this book was almost unbelievable 724 00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:21,480 Speaker 3: may now be more acceptable to your reasoning. Your personal 725 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,400 Speaker 3: proof may be years ahead or just around the corner, 726 00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 3: So at all times keep an open mind, ready to 727 00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:31,240 Speaker 3: seize it when it presents itself. And his final quote 728 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:35,879 Speaker 3: by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. When you have excluded the impossible, 729 00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:42,680 Speaker 3: whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
