Attacks on Sally Morgan backfire

 The Australian lawyer who investigates the paranormal, Victor J Zammit writes about psychic Sally Morgan who is suing a British newspaper for libel: 

"Some time ago - as the regular subscribers will know - I tried to defend Spiritualist Sally Morgan, the highly entertaining and energetic British mental medium, against unfair and vicious attacks in the mainstream press in the UK. Like many mental mediums Sally has a successful track record for doing brilliant work in providing people with personal experience of survival after death. I challenged the critics and others to look at the evidence, 'see for yourself', 'investigate yourself'.What happened? At the time Sally Morgan was in crisis. She had some 30 bookings planned for the U.K. After the unfair attacks - and after people investigated Sally 's mediumship- the bookings in different theatres soared to some 80 all over the UK between now and November this year! Some of the bookings are already SOLD OUT! Well done Sally! See http://www.sallymorgan.tv/tour -for dates"

The Journalist,The Titanic & Spiritualism

Britain's first great investigative journalist William Stead (5 July 1849 – 15 April 1912) is to be honoured  by The Chartered Institute of Journalists - to mark the 100th anniversary of his death aboard the Titanic.

Less well known is that William Stead was also a Spiritualist.

The Chartered Institute of Journalists is to honour Britain’s first investigative journalist - on the 100th anniversary of his death aboard the Titanic. President Norman Bartlett will lay a wreath at the memorial to W.T Stead on the Victoria Embankment in London on April 15.
William Thomas Stead was acknowledged as Britain’s leading campaigning and investigative journalist in the late 1800s, particularly for his work in exposing the white-slave trade and child sex abuse in London’s brothels by the nation’s upper classes. This resulted in the passing of the Criminal Amendment Act which raised the age of consent from 13 to 16.
As part of his campaign, Stead “bought” a chimney sweep’s 13-year-old daughter (Eliza Armstrong) for £5 which earned him a three-month prison sentence. He continued to edit the Pall Mall Gazette (which later merged into the Evening Standard) from his prison cell.

After his death on the Titanic, the Institute of Journalists launched an appeal to raise funds for a memorial. So much was raised that two memorials were erected, one opposite Temple Tube station and the other in Central Park, New York.

Stead was a pacifist and peace campaigner and started a Spiritualist quarterly  magazine  called Borderland.

 Before Stead boarded  The Titanic, he said 2 spiritualist friends had warned him the journey would not end well but Stead dismissed their fears stating that whatever was to come, he could not avoid fate.

Throughout his life he claimed he would either die by lynching or drowning. When the iceberg struck the Titanic in 1912, Stead is said to have assisted women and children into the lifeboats and then retired to the sitting room to smoke a cigar and read a book.

Princess Diana's psychic sues for defamation

TV psychic Sally Morgan sues Daily Mail for defamation
 26 January 2012

By Sarah Limbrick

TV psychic Sally Morgan is demanding damages of £150,000 from Associated Newspapers over a Daily Mail story accusing her of scamming a vulnerable audience.
The article, published on 22 September, was headlined: “What a load of crystal balls!”
It alleged Morgan pretended to have psychic powers when she was in fact simply repeating instructions from members of her team via a microphone and hidden earpiece, according to a writ lodge at the High Court.
Morgan, who was Princess Diana’s former psychic, claims the story caused substantial damage to her reputation, as well as hurt, distress and embarrassment.
The story was widely reported in the national press at the time but Associated Newspapers is the only publisher named on the writ. The story in question was an opinion piece by the magician and former psychic Paul Zenon.

CORRIE's Bill Roache has admitted to using a psychic — so he can communicate with his dogs.

The soap's longest-serving actor, 79, revealed he had contacted Jackie Weaver, who claims to be able to talk to animals.

He says Jackie can tell him how Poppy, Oliver and Harry are "feeling".

Bill — who plays Ken Barlow in the hit soap — said: "Jackie said Poppy even did an impersonation.............

Edgar Cayce predictions

Edgar Cayce is a very famous psychic who had predictions and prophecies about 2012, the pole shift (polar shift) and many other pieces of information about the Earth Changes that are coming with the date of December 21, 2012. He did not speak specifically about 2012, but rather his predictions were supposedly going to happen by the year 1998. His predictions were off and he had the timeline incorrect.

That is the trouble with predictions, it is hard to nail down the time at which they will happen specifically. That is the hardest part about prophecy: nailing down the timeline. Edgar Cayce's predictions are still thought to have much weight and probability. It is just that the timeline is off in his predictions. He suggested all these things would happen sooner than they are appearing in physical reality. They still might appear but at a later time. In fact, Cayce suggested that it would take generations for some of these things to come to pass. Shifting planets could take a long time to finish the process of rearranging themselves. Maybe that's where the 1000 years of peace on Earth come in, at least as far as the humans are concerned.

The Enfield Poltergeist

Science and Spiritualism

The intention of this article is to highlight some points in history when the paths of science and Spiritualism have crossed. I thought it would be interesting to look back at events which are recorded in history to see if there is anything to learn from them.

Having experienced cynical sceptics who would have me believe that science was the truth and Spiritualism was firmly in the realms of fantasy, I had remained a faithful Spiritualist purely on the strength of the wonderful, and hard to ignore, evidence given by Spiritualist mediums.
Ask a sceptic and they might tell you that the anecdotal evidence of mediumship is not enough to provide proof that spirits exist. To be fair it is not a mediums job to prove anything to the sceptics. But hey, I'm not a medium.

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.

Spirit Photography-Actual Spirits Caught on Film!

The methods of Edgar Cayce are still used to cure untreatable illnesses.

In 1986, 27-year-old Cathy Comora visited her ophthalmologist after having some minor vision problems.  She was horrified when her doctor told her she had optic neuritis, a severe inflammation of the optic nerve.  Cathy was told she would probably go blind:

“It was a very frightening experience.  He said I wouldn’t want to run out right away and buy a white cane, but it’s very serious and I was scared.  I mean, I suddenly realized that there is a possibility that I could go blind.”

Since there is no known cure for the disease, Cathy chose to look for an alternative treatment.  She found a doctor who was familiar with the mysterious methods of a man named Edgar Cayce.  Edgar Cayce became famous in the 1920s for diagnosing illnesses, even though he had absolutely no medical training.  In his lifetime, Cayce made more than 9,000 diagnoses, or “readings” as he called them, while in a deep, self-induced trance.  Even though Edgar Cayce died in 1945, many practitioners still follow his teachings.  Some dismiss the cures as mere lucky coincidence.  But for those diagnosed with a disease that modern medicine cannot cure, Edgar Cayce’s methods continue to hold out hope.

What Spiritualists Face : James Van Praague

A piece in the once respected Huffington Post (the on-line newspaper sold by  Arianna Huffington for over 100 million dollars without her informing the dozens of writers and contributors who had worked gratis for the publication.) shows the type of gratuitous attacks anyone involved in the paranormal can come under.

Now it carries a Weird News section, not to dissimilar to tens of thousands of other websites but this piece caught our eye. Magician James Randi who has made a  living out of  attacking anything outside his realm and Spiritualism comes in for a bashing from the man as well. The new Huffington Post is stumbling and perhaps this one reason.


Randi operates the so-called :  The James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF) describing itself as : a non-profit organization dedicated to providing reliable information about paranormal claims, and helping members of the public protect themselves against 'psychic' and pseudo-scientific scams"

It may not be 'for profit' but it's a great channel for promoting James Randi who offers a $1M prize for anyone who can prove various matters. The Spiritualist lawyer Victor Zammit offers a similar prize for anything who can disprove things paranormal yet Randi has never applied for it. 

The article is the usual series of false claims with a demand that Praague disprove the lies (something we at Enmore are used to over the past 2 years). One myth it perpetuates is that Barbara Walters called Praague a 'fake' because he said to her in a private moment off-screen that she had 'blood problems' Walters had a complete health check-up and then went on The View and against all journalistic principles called James on the health claim. 6 Months later she was rushed to hospital for an emergency heart operation.

Here's the late Don Lane getting fed up with Randi and tossing him off his show:

Sally Morgan rejects Halloween challenge to prove her psychic powers

Popular British medium Sally Morgan is still under fire in the tabloid media:

 Sally Morgan rejects Halloween challenge to prove her psychic powers
Sally Morgan, the TV clairvoyant who styles herself as "Britain's best-loved psychic", has turned down an invitation to prove her supernatural powers on Monday.
Morgan, who claims to converse with the spirit world in sellout shows across the country, was asked to demonstrate her abilities in a Halloween challenge laid down by sceptics in Liverpool.
Morgan's lawyers, Atkins Thomson, emailed the science writer Simon Singh, who organised the scientific test of her powers, to make clear that she would not take up the challenge.
