Mystery Test For a Medium

February 25, 2021 by Martin Twycross Leave a Comment

This is a fascinating article from 1959 which gives us insight into the superb quality and also the mechanics of Gordon Higginson’s platform mediumship.  It is the verbatim transcript of a demonstration to test Gordon’s mediumship which was arranged following some accusations of fraud. The SNU deliberately chose a church Gordon had never worked at and he did not know the venue of the service until he was driven there on the day.

 

All of the evidence from the demonstration was recorded and is presented here.  Within contacts given to 12 recipients, he gives 38 names, of which 14 are the full names.  He also gives 20 addresses or place names, including 5 full addresses.  The audience was left gasping in amazement at the quality and depth of evidence, which fully dispelled any accusations of fraud.

 

What is also fascinating is that Gordon gives evidence that is not understood, but practically all of it is subsequently repeated and placed with later recipients.  Gordon had a very strong clairaudient ability, and it is likely he was hearing information from more than one communicator when this happened.

 

I do hope you enjoy this article, which demonstrates why Gordon was held in such high esteem as one of the finest demonstrators within Spiritualism.

The Other Side of Higginson

January 31, 2021 by Martin Twycross Leave a Comment

This is an article from 1964 which provides a fascinating biography of Gordon’s life to that point.  It discusses his development, his time in the war and how he became the medium of choice for the Spiritualists National Union (SNU) publicity meetings.  When people are able to demonstrate mediumship to the very high calibre that Gordon did, there are occasionally those who think that there may be fraud involved.  The article discusses the accusation of fraud which had been made against Gordon and the tests that he undertook to counter the accusations.   There would be other accusations of fraud in the 1970s, but no evidence of fraudulent mediumship was ever proven against Gordon.  The way Gordon dealt with such accusations, by rising above them and allowing his work to speak for itself, is a lesson for all mediums.  I do hope that you enjoy the article. 

 

 

THE OTHER SIDE OF HIGGINSON
By Derek Everitt

 

Debt of Honour

 

See his tense, high pitched psychic demonstrations.  Watch him pacing the vestry floor in restless anxiety before a service, whilst a procession of elderly ladies come “to-have-a-few-words-with-Gordon” and go through a ritual of affectionate hand-patting until he excuses himself on a fundamental pretext, impatiently looking at his watch.  Witness all these and you see a target: a debonair, forty-three-year-old public figure ripe for the smear, the innuendo and the charged question.

 

But the account needs balancing.  For ten years Gordon Higginson’s life has been a round of top-brass public appearances.  Side by side with him have stood, at various times, most of the leading S.N.U. propagandists depending upon him to substantiate their words.  The Movement has availed itself freely of the Longton hospitality where Higginson leads perhaps the most successful Church team ever.  To such a man we owe a debt of honour.   We’ve used him freely, we’ve eaten at his table and been served by his friends.  The time has come to say “Thank you.”Continue Reading

Trance Demonstration Video 1991

November 23, 2020 by Martin Twycross Leave a Comment

Here is a rare video of a trance demonstration by Gordon Higginson which took place in the Library of Stansted Hall on 11th April 1991.  Although many of his trance demonstrations were recorded on audio tape, this is one of only two that were recorded on video.  The recording lasts approximately 1 hour 18 minutes and is well worth watching to experience Gordon’s trance work.

 

The demonstration begins with a trance address by Choo Chow, an oriental guide who shares philosophy and teaching.  This is followed by trance clairvoyance given by Gordon’s Irish guide Paddy with his trademark humour.  Trance clairvoyance is where the spirit guide acts as the medium bringing forward information from those in spirit.

 

After the introduction, the light in the library was turned off leaving only the daylight from the windows.  The video therefore starts off with some light but becomes progressively darker as the evening progresses and ends with almost total darkness.   As with many video recordings of this era, both the video and sound quality are not very good compared to modern recorders.  Also since camcorder tapes were limited to 30 minutes, the recording was spread across 3 tapes and there is a loss of continuity where the tapes are swapped in the camcorder.

 

The video was recorded by Eric Williams (also known as Peter Williams) and we are grateful to Eric for making this valuable recording available to us all.

Glyn Edwards Talking About Gordon’s Mediumship

November 1, 2020 by Martin Twycross Leave a Comment

Here is something very special. In this recording, Glyn Edwards shares some memories of Gordon’s demonstrations. Glyn was mentored by Gordon and did many public demonstrations with him, so was able to witness the quality of his mediumship first hand.

 

Glyn shares some of the amazing evidence that Gordon gave in his public demonstrations. He highlights the brilliance of Gordon’s mediumship, and both the depth and quality of evidence he was able to bring through. Most of all it demonstrates the intelligence of spirit and the power of mediumship.
