Performance NotesEstelle Roberts clairvoyant demonstration:
"...communication delivered to a woman named Lucy who was singled out by the medium. Addressing her by name, Mrs Roberts remarked that a Molly Lewis was communicating. 'I was your school friend and I passed with meningitis many years ago' Molly recalled. With her came Arthur Thomas who had died after being knocked down by a bus. In evidence he spoke of injuries to his spine and neck and that he had lived a few doors away from the recipient. ...
... With urgency and emphasis another spirit called out; 'It's Donald Champion speaking! I want my mother!' Immediately a woman's voice responded with 'Here I am son.' 'He's calling for Pops now,' the medium said. 'He always addressed him by that name.' This was perfectly true, the mother replied, and then signified her understanding of Donald's remark, 'Give my love to Dennis.'
