A new edition of a classic book by Harry Edwards, the renowned healer, on the phenomenal physical mediumship of the ex-miner Jack Webber, first printed in 1940. This account covers the 14 months before Webber’s untimely death in March 1940 before the book came to print. Newspaper journalists from daily papers were invited to sit and they published detailed and “laudatory” articles and all “testified to their amazement” at what they witnessed. This included table levitation, cone shaped “trumpets” flying rapidly through the air and voices speaking to them through them. Some saw faces they recognised in the ectoplasm which came from the medium. The outstanding photographs, many taken in the darkness via Infra-red by professional photographer Leon Isaacs, provide us with an unparalleled record of what the spirit world can achieve with dedication.
