The Definitive Account of Early Mediumship : A review of The Heyday of Mental Mediumship: 1880s-1930s: Investigators, Mediums and Communicators, by Alan Gauld.
(2023) In Journal of Anomalous Experience and Cognition (JAEX) 3(1). p.204-214- Abstract
- Following his acclaimed earlier study on mediumship and survival, Alan Gauld provides
a more complete account of about 50 years of early studies on mediumship with a select group of
mediums (e.g., Mrs. Piper, Mrs. Leonard, Mrs. Dowden). He describes in detail why many if not most
of the criticisms against extraordinarily accurate accounts by these mediums do not hold water
when analyzed in detail. Gauld does not provide easy answers, but in his masterwork does
something much more important by offering a justification to those who may want to base their
belief of potential survival on empirically defensible grounds.
