Alec Harris, a former sceptic about psychic matters, became one of the world’s most brilliant materialisation mediums. In this book, his wife, Louie, describes his reluctant development and some of the astounding phenomena that occurred at their regular seances.

Though Alec Harris knew no other language than English, spirit communicators spoke in various tongues. Once Mahatma Gandhi materialised and conversed with an eminent medical man in Hindustani.

Another visitor was a professional illusionist. His “dead” father appeared and, among his evidence, used a pet name known only to the sitter’s family. Meanwhile, an editor tells of seeing thirty solid forms during a two-and-a-half hour seance. One, a girl, revealed the top of her body to dispose of any suggestion of trickery. It is also noteworthy that sometimes Alec Harris and the materialisations were viewed simultaneously. Many spirit figures literally walked across the room.

Countless individuals received cast-iron evidence at Alec Harris’ sittings. Read how, for example, a “dead” son returned to his parents, pointing out that he had even duplicated the deformed breastbone he had when on earth.
