Our history is full of people with psychic gifts who have gained public recognition, winning the hearts of many with their wonderful demonstrations of mediumship and other skills. Most have confounded the investigators and continue to be a source of mystery. We look back at some of these amazing people who paved the way forward  for the modern medium by facing ridicule and objections.

Lucy Hale

Lucy Hale lived in the Abingdon area of Oxfordshire, England, and served the Spiritualist Churches in the surrounding area. She had worked as a Medium for over 40 years; well into her eighties. Her work was simple and straightforward. A Church Service took the form of: an Opening Prayer, given by Lucy, a Reading given by a Church Member, then an Address from Brother Bernard, followed by a Demonstration of Clairvoyance. A Closing Prayer finished the meeting.

John Edward

American medium John Edward has created quite a following for his amazing tv show 'Crossing Over with John Edward' which has recently aired on British tv on the cable channel 'Living'. Although mediumship has aired on tv before, such is the accuracy of John's messages and detailed descriptions, even the sceptics are tuning in to be amazed!

Doris Stokes

Doris May Fisher Stokes (January 6, 1920 - May 8, 1987), born Doris Sutton, was a British psychic medium. Her memoirs, public demonstrations of mediumship, and television appearances helped to raise the profile of spiritualism and promoted a resurgence of interest in psychic phenomena in the 1980s.
