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

I Saw and Touched Materialised Form

April 20, 2020 by Martin Twycross Leave a Comment

This fascinating article from Psychic News is a firsthand account of what took place during one of Gordon’s physical mediumship séances at Stansted Hall in June 1972.  Not only was it amazing that materialised spirit forms walked from the cabinet and spoke with their loved ones in the audience, but this was accompanied by detailed survival evidence given by Gordon’s guide Paddy.  

 

‘I Saw and Touched Materialised Form’ – This Fulfils Spirit Promise Made Over 20 Years Ago

We received last week a dramatic account of how a spirit promise, given to an experienced Spiritualist over 20 years ago, was fulfilled at a Gordon Higginson materialisation séance.

 

Ruth Lewis

The account comes from Spiritualist minister Mrs Ruth Lewis, of Mayfield Road, Sanderstead, Surrey. Mrs Lewis writes her account after hearing a tape recording of this amazing séance.

 

During 42 years’ intensive investigation of the subject, “I have experienced all types of psychic phenomena apart from materialisation.” The spirit promise was that Ruth would witness, and even touch, a materialised form.

 

This took place at a Stansted Hall (Essex) public séance on June 28th before 70 witnesses. Ruth sat next to the cabinet in which the entranced Gordon sat.

Materialisation Seance Astounds Sitters

March 31, 2020 by Martin Twycross Leave a Comment

This is a séance report from 1972 which describes a séance with Gordon at Stansted Hall witnessed by 80 people.  It gives us insight into the evidential nature of Gordon’s physical mediumship and how ectoplasm is used and manipulated by spirit.

 

Our report of this remarkable materialisation seance held last Saturday is based on eye-witness accounts from two leading Spiritualists, Eileen Roberts, Union of Spiritualist Mediums President, and PN’s Advertising Manager, Margaret Wilson.

 

Over 80 people, mainly USM members, were present at the seance.  It was organised by Eileen as part of the third USM annual conference.

 

SNU president Gordon Higginson demonstrated at Stansted Hall (Essex) that physical mediumship can still produce outstanding phenomena in 1972.

 

His child guide [Cuckoo] materialised at his side in good red light, was seen to vanish and then reappear. 

 

Ectoplasm, pouring from the medium’s body, was handled by a reputable witness.

 

Messages from “dead” relatives provided convincing survival evidence to sitters.Continue Reading
