Biographies of
Mediums and Spiritualists
Dedicated to the many
notable scientists, scholars, and mediums who have
worked so diligently to increase our knowledge of the
nature of the afterlife.
Over the last centuries many
gifted and courageous scientists and psychics
have labored to help us understand parapsychology as it
relates to spirit communication. Information transmitted
from the other side tells us that the consequences of
the afterlife are enormous. Those who staked their
reputation for these discoveries and truths deserve an
important place in history so that what they discovered
will not be ignored with the passage of time.
This page is a work in progress. There
are so many people. You will find links to free online
old books, links to pages dedicated to individuals,
Amazon book links for easy Kindle or paperback purchase.
Enjoy the amazing amount of information available.
EMMANUEL SWEDENBORG (1688-1772)
 One
of the leading scientists of his day, He wrote 150 works
in seventeen sciences. At the University of Uppsala he
studied Greek, Latin and several other European
languages. Swedenborg was a very highly gifted
clairvoyant who spent more than twenty years
investigating the afterlife. He recorded that he was
able to make contact with intelligences from the
afterlife, writing several books about the afterlife
including
Heaven and Hell and
Arcana Coelestia.
ROBERT DALE OWEN (1801-1877)
 One
of the most versatile figures in his era. As editor,
educator, and labor leader, as senator, diplomat, and
man of letters, as legislator, feminist, and champion of
a new religious faith, as advocate at one time or
another of all sorts of reforms ranging from birth
control to Negro emancipation, and as author of all
sorts of books from theological discussions to treatises
on architecture and plank roads. Owen wrote two of the
most influential books of the early spiritualist period,
Footfalls on the boundary of another world
(1860) and
The debatable land between this world and the next
(1871).
ALLAN KARDEC (1804-1869)
 He
was of an old family honorably distinguished in the
magistracy and at the bar. Endowed by nature with a
passion for teaching, he devoted himself to the work of
giving gratuitous lectures on Chemistry, Physics,
Comparative Anatomy, and Astronomy for over ten years.
He took an active part in the labors of the Society of
Magnetism, giving much time to the practical
investigation of somnambulism, trance, clairvoyance, and
the various other phenomena connected with the mesmeric
action. He drew up a series of progressive questions in
relation to the various problems of human life and the
universe in which we find ourselves, and submitted them
to his unseen communicators, receiving their answers to
the same through the instrumentality of the two young
mediums. His conversations with the invisible
intelligences completely revolutionized his ideas and
convictions. He published them as
Le Livre des
Esprits (The
Spirits' Book), called by many today "the
Bible of Spiritualism"
ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE (1823-1913)
 British
naturalist, codiscoverer with Charles Darwin of the
principles of biological evolution. Wallace was a
philosophical skeptic, a materialist. His experience of
Spiritualist phenomena overcame his skepticism. In the
preface to his book
On Miracles and Modern
Spiritualism (1874) Wallace writes: "They compelled
me to accept them, as facts, long before I could accept
the spiritual explanation of them: there was at that
time 'no place in my fabric of thought into which it
could be fitted.'" Wallace was led to believe 1) in the
existence of numerous preternatural intelligences of
various grades and 2) that some of these intelligences,
although usually invisible and intangible to us, can and
do act on matter, and do influence our minds.
ANDREW JACKSON DAVIS (1826-1910)
 Medium,
channel, and one of the founders of modern Spiritualism.
Young Davis had gifts of clairvoyance and heard voices
at an early age. In 1844 Davis had a strange experience
that was to have an enduring effect on his life. In a
state of semitrance he wandered away from home and awoke
the next morning 40 miles away in the mountains. There
he claimed to have met two venerable men--whom he later
identified as the ancient physician Galen and the
Swedish seer Emanuel Swedenborg--and experienced a state
of mental illumination. While in an altered state in
November 1845 Davis began to dictate his great work,
The Principles of Nature, Her Divine Revelations, and
a Voice to Mankind. The dictation lasted for 15
months.
Dr CHARLES RICHET (1833-1886)
 Dr
Charles1850-1935 Very distinguished French physiologist
and winner of the Nobel Prize in 1913 for his discovery
of anaphylaxis. Professor of Physiology at the Faculty
of Medicine of Paris, member of the medicine and Academy
of Science and Honorary president of the Paris-based
Institut Metapsychique International in 1919. Richet's
insatiable curiosity also led him to explore other
fields outside medicine, and with as much of passion.
Indeed, he was at the same time a novelist, poet,
playwright, sociologist and even pioneer of aviation!
He extensively investigated a wide range of phenomena
such as telepathy, hypnosis, psychokinesis and ectoplasm
(a term first coined by Richet), which he
whole-heartedly accepted as real but could only
interpret them in a materialistic manner. Founded the
Annales des Sciences Psychiques in 1890 (the first issue
appeared in 1891), whose title subsequently changed to
Revue Metapsychique in 1920. He worked with colleagues
of different nationalities including Dr. Gustave Geley,
Sir Oliver Lodge and Prof. Baron von Schrenck-Notzing
and with various mediums, including Mrs. Piper, Eusapia
Palladino and Marthe Beraud. He summed up his general
conclusions in
Thirty Years of Psychical Research, which was
translated to English in 1923 by Stanley de Brath.
WILLIAM STAINTON MOSES (1839-1892)
 Medium
and religious teacher who became one of the most
prominent late nineteenth-century British Spiritualists.
In 1872, five months after his introduction to
Spiritualism, he reported his first experience of
levitation. Psychic lights of greatly varying shapes and
intensity were frequently observed. They were most
striking when the medium was in trance. They were not
always equally seen by all the sitters, never lit up
their surroundings, and could pass through solid
objects, for instance, rising from the floor through a
table. Scents were produced in abundance, the most
common being musk, verbena, new mown hay. Without any
musical instruments in the room, a great variety of
musical sounds contributed to the entertainment of the
sitters. There were many instances of direct writing,
demonstrations of matter passing through matter and
direct voice, and materializations, which, however, did
not progress beyond luminous hands or columns of light
vaguely suggesting human forms. Moses' famous automatic
scripts are known from his books
Spirit Teachings (1883) and
Spirit Identity (1879).
FREDERICK W.H. MYERS (1843-1901)
 The
originator of the 'cross-correspondences' (a series of
messages from the other side to different mediums in
different parts of the world that on their own would
mean nothing but which when put together would make
sense) - 'the most persuasive evidence for the existence
for the afterlife' according to Colin Wilson, psychic
writer. He was a Cambridge Classic scholar and writer at
the turn of the Twentieth Century. He was also one of
the pioneers who founded the British Society for
Psychical Research and was heavily involved in
investigation of the afterlife and wrote
Human Personality and the Survival of Bodily Death1903).
Several mediums are said to have transcribed material
from him after he passed on including Juliet Goodenow,
Helen Dallas, and
Geraldine Cummins.
SIR OLIVER LODGE (1851-1940)
 Pioneer
of radio, physicist, professor, one of the greatest
scientists of his time. He described contact with his
deceased son in
Raymond; or, Life and Death (1916) -
something which gave him the great authority when
writing about the afterlife. He was also one of the
first to write about the sub-atomic particle for the
hereafter. Lodge's scientific work in physics includes
investigations of lightening, the voltaic cell and
electrolysis and electromagnetic waves. He also studied
the nature of ether, a medium permeating all space and
of the ether drift, the supposed relative motion between
the ether and any body with in it.
JAMES HERVEY HYSLOP (1854-1920)
 Professor
of logic and ethics and prominent psychical researcher.
He was educated at the University of Leipzig (1882-84),
and Johns Hopkins University (Ph.D., 1877). He was one
of the first American psychologists to connect
psychology with psychic phenomena. He joined the
philosophy department at Columbia University as a
professor in ethics and logic, during which time he
became deeply involved with psychical research. As early
as 1888, in a skeptical frame of mind, he was brought
for the first time into contact with the supernormal
through the mediumship of Leonora Piper. Messages from
his father and relatives poured through. Out of 205
incidents mentioned as of his sixteenth sitting, he was
able to verify 152. He publicly declared, "I have been
talking with my father, my brother, my uncles. Whatever
supernormal powers we may be pleased to attibute to Mrs.
Piper's secondary personalities, it would be difficult
to make me believe that these secondary personalities
could have thus completely reconstituted the mental
personality of my dead relatives." He wrote extensively
including and
Life After Death: Problems of the Future Life and Its
Nature (1918) and
Contact with the Other World (1919).
WILLIAM EGLINTON (1858-1933)
 "Mr.
Eglinton lay on a garden bench in plain sight. We saw
the bodies of four visitors form themselves from a cloud
of white vapour and then walk about, robed all in purest
white, upon the lawn where no deception was possible.
One of them walked quite around us, as we sat in our
chairs on the grass, talking as familiarly as any friend
. . . [and] took my hat from my head, put it on his own,
and walked off with it where the medium was lying; then
he came and put it on my head again; then walked across
the lawn and up a gravel walk to the foot of the balcony
and talked with Mrs. Nichols. After a brief conversation
he returned to the medium and gradually faded from
sight.''
SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE (1859-1930)
 Writer,
psychic researcher. He was able to make contact with
entities from the afterlife. Many people know him for
his great writing skills such as his creation of
Sherlock Holmes - but Sir Arthur's greatest gift was
when he conducted research into the afterlife. He wrote
a magnificent
History of Spiritualism book 1 and
book 2; also he wrote
The Wandering of a
Spiritualist - but his best books ever were dictated
to medium Grace Cooke from the other side,
Arthur
Conan Doyle's Book of the Beyond and
The Return
of Arthur Conan Doyle.
LEONORE PIPER (1859-1950)
 Perhaps
the greatest American medium ever. One of the most
spectacular and outstanding mental mediums who ever
lived. No one, not even the most hardened closed minded
skeptic after investigating her mediumship ever
suggested fraud. She was able to convert the greatest
materialist, closed minded skeptic this world has ever
seen - Richard Hodgson. Because of her brilliant
accurate information, Hodgson, who was contracted to by
the British Society for Psychical Research engaged
private detectives to follow her, to report on whom she
met outside her home, to intercept her mail, to invite
negative 'dummy' sitters unknown to anyone to her
sittings - and to do everything possible to prove that
this highly gifted brilliant American was not genuine.
All failed and she remains today the greatest American
mental medium who triumphed over great challenges.
BETTY WHITE (1880?-1939)
 Wife
of Stewart Edward White. In 1922 Betty discovered, while
using a ouija board, that she was able to communicate
with entities which would later be dubbed "the
invisibles". They invited a small circle of friends
including "Darby and Joan" to participate in sessions
during which her channeling abilities matured. Stewart's
first book openly acknowleging Betty's contacts was
The Betty Book
(1937), a compilation of the
messages his wife received followed shortly thereafter
by Across the Unknown. These first books resulted
in thousands of letters from the readers. The White's
were very private people who had kept Betty's abilities
under wraps for over a decade.
STEWART EDWARD WHITE (1873-1946)
Author who published a number of books of
"channeled'' material. He studied at the University of
Michigan (Ph.D., 1895; M.A., 1903). In 1904 he married
Elizabeth (Betty) Grant, and they settled in
California where he became well known as an author of
many books, articles, and short stories dealing with his
experiences around the state in mining and lumber camps,
and on exploration trips. He wrote
The Betty Book (1939),
Gaelic Manuscripts,
The Road I Know (1942),
The Stars Are Still There (1946),
The Unobstructed Universe. (1940) (his most
popular metaphysical work) and
With Folded Wings (1947).
ARTHUR FORD (1896-1971)
American Spiritualist medium and founder of the
International General Assembly of Spiritualists.
Ford realized his psychic abilities during World War I.
While in the army he would "hear'' the names of people
he served with, and those names would appear on the
casualty lists several days later. In the years after
the war he investigated psychic phenomena and eventually
joined the Spiritualists. Around 1921 Ford emerged as a
trance medium, and "Fletcher,'' his control for the rest
of his life, made his first appearance in trance
sessions. He developed a popular following and in 1927
traveled to Great Britain. One of his lectures was
attended by veteran Spiritualist Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,
who enthusiastically told people the next day, "One of
the most amazing things I have ever seen in 41 years of
psychic experience was the demonstration of Arthur
Ford.''
FRANCISCO XAVIER (1910-2002)
 Famous
Brazilian Spiritist medium. (Spiritism, the Brazilian
form of Spiritualism, stems from the teachings of French
Spiritist Allan Kardec.) Known throughout Brazil as
"Chico Xavier'' (pronounced Sheeko Shaveer), he was born
April 2, 1910, in the town of Pedro Leopoldo in the
central state of Minas Gerais. He was one of a family of
nine children. His mother died when he was only five,
but Chico saw her materialize after her death, and
during his period at primary school three years later,
be became accustomed to hearing voices and sensing
spirit presences.

Mediums:
Emma Hardinge Britten was a leading figure in the development of 19th century Spiritualism, with her writing, mediumship,and lectures in the United States, Europe, Australia, and elsewhere in the world.
Emma Hardinge was born in 1823 in London, England. As a child, Emma could predict coming events and often saw the spirits of dead relatives and family friends. Her mediumship developed and she became a leading figure in the Spiritualist movement by the early 1850s. Emma traveled throughout America and to many parts of the world giving lectures and inspired addresses on the subject of Modern Spiritualism. By public speaking and prolific writings she encouraged the formation of many Spiritualist groups, societies and churches throughout the world. She was one of the six founding members of the Theosophy Society. The concepts and original wording of the Seven Principles of Spiritualism came from Emma's mediumship.
