Noted British Spiritualist Montague Keen

In his own words- from Spirit !

"I was born into a Jewish family in Maida Vale, London on 7-2-25 the youngest child of John Keen. My father had a club and a guest house and we had a very comfortable life until the war broke out and I was sent to Wales as an evacuee – I was not happy there as they would not allow music in the house so I learned to play music in my head – Rachmaminov 2nd Piano Concerto was one piece of music I knew well and it became so important to me.

My father was killed when a bomb hit our house and I got a telegram to come back to London immediately. Suddenly we did not have a home it was the end of my childhood and my education which I loved – I had dreamed of going to university. My mother said I had to go to work to help support her. At 16 years old I got a job as a journalist at the Hornsey Journal as a young reporter – I cycled all over North London. I had to grow up fast.

I suffered from ashma and ended up in hospital many times. It helped if I went to see horror films so the cinema became a big part of my life.

I decided at 14 years old I really did not want to belong to any religion – I needed my mind to be free of restriction. I wanted to explore life. There was a medium in London Tom Corbett who was extremely popular with all the actors and actresses and high society at the time so I decided to investigate him. By then I was working at the House of Commons and no one ever refused an invitation lunch in that great historic building. So I was able to interview all those people I would never otherwise get to. I wrote a book on Corbett but never got around to publishing it. All I can say is it certainly opened up the world of spirit to me and it became my greatest interest in life."

"Psychic warned Sheridan: 'Murdoch ordered surveillance'

Scots politician Tommy Sheridan

A "Psychic Agony Aunt" told Tommy Sheridan he was under "24/7" surveillance by the News of the World, a court heard yesterday.

Yasemin Urquhart, who wrote for the newspaper under the pseudonym "Ruth the Truth", sent a series of emails to the politician, telling him the observation was "ordered by Rupert Murdoch" and advised him to "keep your head down".

The emails were shown to the Scottish News of the World editor Bob Bird during his fourth day on the witness stand at Sheridan's perjury trial at the High Court in Glasgow.

Sheridan and his wife Gail are accused of lying during the successful action against the paper over allegations made about his private life. They both deny the charges.

The action followed the newspaper's claims that he was an adulterer who visited swingers' clubs.

Sheridan, a former contestant on Big Brother, won £200,000 in damages after the newspaper printed the allegations.

Following the civil jury trial at the Court of Session in Edinburgh, a police investigation was launched and the former MSP and his wife, both 46, were charged with perjury.

Startling new study 'proves' that we can see the future

Are humans psychic? Startling new study 'proves' that we can see the future
By Fiona Macrae

You may already know this…but psychic powers seem to actually exist.

Research suggests that far from being a trick employed by fairground fortune tellers, many of us are blessed with the ability to see into the future

Influencing events before they happen is also within our remit, the study by a respected psychologist found.
The publication of the results in a leading social science journal will make waves in the world of science.

They will also start a million conversations about the significance of everyday occurrences, such as knowing who is at the end of the phone before picking it up.

Daryl Bem, a physicist and part-time magician turned psychologist, set out to investigate psi, or parapsychology.

Muscian Phil Collins believes he lived before

The famous drummer from legendary group Genesis, Phil Collins believes that in his last life he was at the Alamo. Over the years he has been an active collector of relics relating to the Alamo.

In the latest Rolling Stone Magazine he has spoken of of his previous life and 'ghost' photos he took at the Alamo.

These days, Phil Collins is more interested in the Battle of the Alamo than in music. And he’s not just an Alamo history buff, he’s a collector. He says he has hundreds of cannonballs, documents, and other artifacts in his basement in Switzerland.

And now, he thinks some of the photos he’s taken at the site of the Alamo show ghosts or something like them.

Phil told “Rolling Stone” there are, quote, “glowing, semi-transparent light orbs” in the pictures, and he believes they represent, quote, “paranormal energy.”

Phil has also been told by a psychic that he fought at the Alamo in a previous life and he thinks it could be true.He says, quote, “I don’t want to sound like a weirdo. I’m not Shirley Maclaine, but I’m prepared to believe. You’ve seen the pictures. You can’t deny them.” Phil also talks about the neck and spinal cord injury that essentially makes it impossible for him to play the drums like he used to, because he can’t grip the sticks.

Distinguished researchers found evidence for survival

compiled and edited by Michael E. Tymn


It wasn’t long after the birth of modern Spiritualism in 1848 that scientists and scholars began investigating the phenomena. Many of them started out with the intent of showing that all mediums were charlatans, but one by one they came to believe in the reality of mediumship and related psychic phenomena. A few of them sat on the fence when it came to professing a belief in the spirit world, but others were more courageous.

Today, researchers such as Dr. Gary Schwartz of the University of Arizona and Dr. David Fontana, a psychology professor in England, are continuing to verify the existence of genuine mediums, and, concomitantly, of a spirit world, but considering the conclusions of the famous researchers of yesteryear, we should be able to invoke the legal doctrine of Res Judicata – it has already been decided. Consider the following testimony.

Judge John W. Edmonds (1816-1874) – After serving in both houses of the New York legislature, including president of the Senate, Edmonds was elevated to the New York State Supreme Court and became its Chief Justice. He began his investigation of mediums in 1851, assuming that he would expose them as frauds.

– But all this, and much, very much more of a cognate nature went to show me that there was a high order of intelligence involved in this new phenomenon – an intelligence outside of, and beyond, mere mortal agency; for there was no other hypothesis which I could devise or hear of that could at all explain that, whose reality is established by the testimony of tens of thousands, and can easily be ascertained by any one who take the trouble to inquire…

The beginnings of Spiritualism

The origin of mediumship is usually linked to the Fox sisters at Hydesville, New York in 1848, but believers date the unofficial beginning of Modern American Spiritualism to the Shakers and similar religious groups. By 1853 the movement had reached San Francisco and London, and by 1860 was worldwide. The Fox family remained very active in Spiritualism for many years. Other notable Spiritualists were Mercy Cadwallader, who became a sort of missionary for the movement, and Emma Hardinge Britten, who wrote e first Spiritualist newspaper in Britain, The Yorkshire Spiritual Telegraph, was published, and by the 1870s there were numerous Spiritualist societies and churches throughout the US and Britain.

There was little in the way of national organisation of mediums in Britain or the USA although some regions of Britain had organised Federations that might have up to thirty circles of similar beliefs, and in 1891 the National Federation of Spiritualists (NFS) came into existence and grew quite large before its name change to the Spiritualists' National Union (SNU) in 1902. British spiritualists of this time were often adherents of the temperance and anti-capital punishment lobbies, often held radical political views and were frequently vegetarians. Some were active in Women's Rights and a minority espoused Free Love: the popular perception of Spiritualists was often of radicals in the Victorian period.

New internet Spiritualist newspaper launched

It’s now over three months since the last issue of Psychic News rolled off the presses. For the former editorial team there have been some tough times, and we have so much appreciated your messages of encouragement. The one thing we never doubted was that we would eventually return to our regular readers, and hopefully reach many new ones, with a truly independent voice for spirit. We cannot call it Psychic News, but we can certainly continue the spirit and passion of the paper our pioneers set up, hence our new title, Spirit of PN.

Spirit of PN is brought to you by former PN editor Sue Farrow, assistant editor Paul Brett and techno-wizard Magnus Smith. A new and very welcome addition to the team is Geoff Griffiths, who is working incredibly hard to promote and publicise our new venture.
