| Performance Notes | "'I get the feeling of falling,' said Nora Blackwood. 'He is showing me a rope.' Both the communicator and their own son, Mr and Mrs Wood said afterwards, were killed while mountaineering in Switzerland. Then Nora Blackwood got the boy's name - Roy. They were both named Roy... This was true... The other Roy came from Middlesbrough - and there was a link with a place that had a famous racecourse. 'Redcar!' she said. The Woods lived at Redcar at the time, moving to London after their boy was killed. 'Did he take a degree of some kind?' Roy Wood had just got his degree in biology before his passing. Johnny and another friend at University, David, 'he is a doctor' were mentioned correctly as 'school buddies.' 'His remains are in another country!' This was right. Then Mrs Blackwood for the date of the accident - 1953. 'You have got a lovely car,' she then said. Mr Wood has just bought a new car. 'Your boy says you don't need to worry if you can't get the battery to go, you can just run downhill.' The Woods now live on top of a hill. 'Bessie - did she have a leg amputated?' Bessie was Mr Wood's mother - she had both legs amputated. 'Are you Alf?' Mr Woods concurred. 'And where's Charlie? Is he here?' Mr Wood's brother, Charlie and his wife were occupying the next seats. 'The first of July was a family day?' It was the day their son was killed. ...
To another recipient who answered to the initials A W E, the medium brought both parents, also establishing that the claimant had been brought by a grandmother. There were murmurs of appreciation (applause was banned) when Nora correctly stated that; 'Your mother lived at number 50 - and so do you!' ...
The unusual name Pete Barbarian started off another meesage. He kept a pub, said Mrs Blackwood, and went on to talk of the 'nasty smell of a gasworks outside.' 'Are you sisters?' she asked the two women who identified the details. They were. 'Pete is a bit of a card,' she went on. 'He says, the piece of furniture he gave you had a marble top. Can I give away a secret? He says it was as good as money. He owed you money, but he says you sold it at a good price.' Both parents manifested themselves as well as Fred, the husband of one of the sisters, who passed to spirit life with a head condition."
