Susan Boyle says she's been visited by her mother Bridget's ghost

A CHART-topping singer says she's been visited by the ghost of her dead mother. Susan Boyle, 50, was left bereft when Bridget Boyle died in 2007 at the age of 91.

The pair shared the same home in Blackburn, West Lothian, in Scotland, for all of Boyle's life
And it's there she claims her mother appeared to her.
"The council house is my mother's house. Her energy is still there," Boyle told The Sun.
"I've actually seen my mother in the house. I think she was letting me know she was all right.
"There was a lovely smell. Perhaps it was her perfume, I'm not sure.
"I used to think she'd abandoned me when she died. Maybe she was telling me she hadn't."
The record-breaking songbird, who shot to fame on Britain's Got Talent two years ago, has also revealed how she feels plagued by feelings of isolation.
"My biggest problem is I feel lonely, especially at night," she continued.
"I always had a fear of being alone and now I am.

TV documentary about Spiritualism

"Let's get physical ... or did we?" & Arthur Conan Doyle

## Important : Today at approx 5pm onwards on 702 ABC Sydney is a radio program about the great Spiritualist Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his visit in 1920/21 to Australia to give talks on Spiritualism .

                                                        *************************

"Let's get physical ... or did we?"

 Last night, I either witnessed a remarkable display of physical mediumship by David Thompson, a Brit who now resides in Australia and who claims to produce full-form materialisations, or a blatant deception that is succeeding in fooling many otherwise sensible people. So which was it?

The only way to make up one's mind in such a situation – in which the 40-plus people attending this séance at Jenny's Sanctuary in Oxfordshire were literally in the dark – is to examine both scenarios and ask which, logically, makes the most sense. That's what I'm about to do, in the hope that the views of visitors to this Blog may also contribute some useful insight

The History of Spiritualism by Arthur Conan Doyle

In 1921 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of the famous Sherlock Holmes books , toured Australia giving talks on Spiritualism of which he was a devotee.

He gave his farewell speech at the Enmore Spiritualist Church after attending a service there.

The Gutenberg Project has a free e-book by Sir Arthur :

The History of Spiritualism Vol II (1926)

"THE CAREER OF EUSAPIA PALLADINO The mediumship of Eusapia Palladino marks an important stage in the history of psychical research, because she was the first medium for physical phenomena to be examined by a large number of eminent men of science. The chief manifestations that occurred with her were the movement of objects without contact, the levitation of a table and other objects, the levitation of the medium, the appearance of materialized hands and faces, lights, and the playing of musical instruments without human contact. All these phenomena took place, as we have seen, at a much earlier date with the medium D. D. Home, but when Sir William Crookes invited his scientific brethren to come and examine them they declined. Now for the first time these strange facts were the subject of prolonged investigation by men of European reputation. Needless to say, these experimenters were at first sceptical in the highest degree, and so-called "tests" (those often silly precautions which may defeat the very object aimed at) were the order of the day. No medium in the whole world has been more rigidly tested than this one, and since she was able to convince the vast majority of her sitters, it is clear that her mediumship was of no ordinary type. It is little use pointing out that no psychic researcher should be admitted to the seance room without at least some elementary knowledge of the complexities of mediumship and the right conditions for its unfoldment, or without, for instance, an understanding of the basic truth that it is not the medium alone, but the sitters equally, who are factors in the success of the experiment. Not one scientific man in a thousand recognizes this, and the fact that Eusapia triumphed in spite of such a tremendous handicap is an eloquent tribute to her powers."

Movies About Spiritualism

In this modern day of mass and quick communications via a host of new media, Spiritualism seems to have fallen by the wayside as a subject for film.

However there are many good short clips on Youtube about the subject (one is below) but we hear there is a new Spiritualist organisation that is to concentrate on producing documentaries about Spiritualism that will include attempts to show as much physical evidence as possible.

More about that when it comes to hand.

Here is a short film about the history of Spiritualism made by the SNU.

Oprah Winfrey under attack over her Spiritual beliefs

 It comes with the territory for one of the biggest names on television but Oprah Winfrey is being attacked again for her beliefs in a new book by an evangelist considered to be from the 'Christian Right" in the USA.

The book's blurb goes:

'O' God: A Dialogue on Truth and Oprah's Spirituality provides an in-depth look at one of the greatest media influences of all time: the empire of Oprah. Between The Oprah Winfrey Show and O Magazine, millions of people are exposed to Oprah's spiritual beliefs. Christians and those of other faiths are asking tough questions and looking for answers. McDowell and Sterrett approach the spirituality of Oprah by means of a fictional narrative featuring conversation between two friends. The spiritual conversation begins when the two girls get together to discuss spiritual issues. By using stories to address the deeper issues raised in the spiritual conversations held by Oprah and her friends, McDowell and Sterrett disarm and entertain their readers while also revealing biblical truths and exposing the errant teachings and misconceptions of Oprah. McDowell, a mega-bestselling Christian author and evangelist, teams up with Sterrett, a gifted writer and popular speaker, to broach a serious subject with a wise, balanced, easy-to-read approach. McDowell and Sterrett help readers to discern the truth about the spirituality of Oprah.
