Performance Notes | "A young bride who was taken ill on her wedding day, and died shortly afterwards, returned last Sunday with outstanding evidence of her survival at the world's largest annual seance... She described, through William Redmond's mediumship, the burial of her earthly body was in her wedding dress. She even recalled the concern over a wine stain on the dress which could not be removed. Redmond told the recipient that the girl's husband had since happily remarried. This was acknowledged as being correct. The name Nora in this connection was understood, and also Letty and Olive. A startling face which Redmond divulged was that the bride-to-be knew she would die two months before her wedding. The 'dead' girl also told Redmond that the woman recipient should have been at her wedding but was not. Instead she went to her funeral. ...
He described a young Air Force boy named Peter. His mother recognised him and knew why he spoke of Derek. She could not recall a Mrs Potter or her son Willie with whom her son said he went to school. But she did remember Mrs White for whom Peter ran errands. Peter, with a domestic touch, returned with a black car, which he had when very young. And with him, on this eventful night was his father who also proved his survival. When Peter spoke of his sorrow about the trouble which had occurred with his father, his mother understood immediately. Peter's touching message was 'Mum darling, I love you so much. You've been so brave and carried on despite our passing.'" (Psychic News, 16 November 1963) |
