Mastodon hasn't worked out so I am not going to continue posting here. But the Society for Psychical Research can be found on Facebook and Twitter (and let's see how Threads does, that might be the way to go).
'The current issue of The Magazine of the Society for Psychical Research (Issue 7, 2022) contains two groundbreaking articles about the life, death, and afterlife of Walter Stinson, brother of Mina "Margery" Crandon and her seance room spirit guide.' https://www.wildabouthoudini.com/2023/06/walters-story.html?sc=1687531110056#c5289469301781994822
To complement the SPR’s two sets of Guidance Notes for Investigators the Society has produced this series of free Investigator Quick Guides which you can download, print and carry with as part of your investigation kit. These Investigator Quick Guides contain the essential information for a range of topics which you can quickly refer to when necessary. https://www.spr.ac.uk/node/19069
Alexis Didier (1826-1886) was a French clairvoyant whose extraordinarily accurate readings, carried out while he was in a hypnotic trance, attracted widespread notice during the mid-nineteenth century. Didier’s ability was tested with favourable results by the stage magician Jean-Eugene Robert-Houdin.
