Join Sandra as she explores the incredible, rare world of physical and trance mediumship with Dr. Nick Richbell, historian, archivist, and Head of Special Collections at Clemson University.
In his highly anticipated new book, Silver Birch's Medium: Maurice Barbanell and 20th-Century Spiritualism, Dr. Nick brings to light the astonishing life of Maurice Barbanell—the journalist who founded Psychic News and spent 61 years as the earthly channel for the beloved spirit guide, Silver Birch. In this episode, we dive into:
* Real Séance Recordings: Dr. Nick's incredible archival discoveries, including hundreds of hours of recorded physical séances featuring incredible mediums of time.
* Physical Phenomena: The astonishing reality of EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena), apports like physical roses appearing in the séance room, and transfiguration.
* Silver Birch's Teachings: Profound philosophy from the Spirit World on the importance of service, the necessity of genuine prayer, and how reincarnation acts like a single sliver of a diamond returning to Earth.
* The Legacy of Maurice & Sylvia Barbanell: The fierce dedication Maurice had for exposing fraud and defending truth, alongside the unsung heroism of his wife, Sylvia, who was a brilliant writer and his constant support.
