English Religion | Spiritualism | Medium White No known disability Spiritualist Heterosexual Kathleen Barkel was a psychic medium. Kathleen started to display physic gifts as a child but serious mediumship did not develop until 1922. For some years she worked at the Brish College of Physic Science giving sceances and doing healings with her husband. She was a British trance and apport medium. Her spirt guide was White Hawk, who claimed to have been chief of the Sioux approximately 800 years ago. Sitters often used to receive beautifully cut stones as apports, and the only physical indication that Barkel had, that an apport seance would shortly take place, was the curious fact that for days beforehand, her body began to swell. At the end of the seance her body would resume its normal size. https://www.the-voicebox.com/barkelkathleen.htm (2023) International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes RAHSkeyte 8/13/2014 RAHAKirkbride 2/3/2023 de4a0f29-5b8e-4c69-947f-78dd01cb7ee4
