Psychic News goes into liquidation (in: Spiritualism) Aug 24, 2010: The National Executive Committee of the Spiritualists' National Union has today released this statement, which is posted on its website:

Psychic Press (1995) Ltd

It is the Union's sad duty to report that Psychic Press (1995) Ltd has ceased to trade and instructions have been given today, 23rd August, to the liquidator to take the necessary steps to put the company into liquidation.

The date of 15 September next has been fixed for the meeting of the shareholders and the creditors and the liquidation will take effect from this date. Creditors will receive notice of the latter meeting from the liquidator ... more

Last Psychic News editor reveals all (in: Spiritualism) Aug 22, 2010: After weeks of prevarication during which the fate of Psychic News, the weekly Spiritualist newspaper, has been the subject of debate and conjecture, it now appears that the company that has published it for the past 15 years – Psychic Press (1995) Ltd – is soon to be put into liquidation by its owners, the Spiritualists' National Union (SNU). It is difficult to imagine the impact this questionable decision has had on its loyal employees and particularly its editor, Susan Farrow, who gave up a musical careeer to take on the responsibility of editing Spiritualism's flagship publication for over two-and-a-half years. She has maintained a silence about the events surrounding the demise of the newspaper (apart from an editorial in the final issue, published on 24 July) but now the company is on the verge of liquidation I have her permission to publish her version of events, given to me in the past 24 hours. She has now been made redundant and is free to talk. They will shock most Spiritualists who assume that the SNU has the best interests of the movement and of its employees at heart... more

Life, death and asset stripping? (in: Spiritualism) Aug 21, 2010: I was expecting to report some good news about the possible reincarnation of Psychic News, the weekly Spiritualist newspaper founded by Maurice Barbanell (left) which was closed down by the Spiritualists' National Union (SNU) a few weeks ago. Eric Hatton, a former president of the SNU, together with fellow trustees of the Spiritualist charity JV Trust, had hoped to rescue the newspaper. They have been in talks with SNU representatives but sadly have failed to reach agreement. The JV Trust trustees sent their decision to the SNU on Thursday. So why is it that the SNU has been unable to do a deal with a charity that has been enormously supportive of the Arthur Findlay College and has given financial backing to many other good causes within the Spiritualist movement, including 60 SNU churches? The answer is surprising. The major stumbling block, as far as I am aware, is that ... more

Remembering Lord Dowding, leader of 'the Few' (in: Spiritualism) Aug 20, 2010: It is 70 years ago, today, that Sir Winston Churchill made his most famous and stirring speech. Speaking in Parliament, he praised the Battle of Britain aircrews who defeated the Nazi attempt to invade the United Kingdom. It was the speech in which he declared: "Never was so much owed by so many to so few" and it led to those brave airmen being known as "the Few". The man who led the Few, as head of the British Royal Air Force Fighter Command, was Air Chief Marshal Hugh Dowding. A former pilot, he proved himself to be a brilliant air combat strategist. He was also a Spiritualist and many believe ... more

Dream leads police to wrong body (in: Paranormal) Aug 18, 2010: An Australian woman, Cheryl Carroll-Lagerway, dreamt a girl had been murdered and her body discarded in a bushland park in west Sydney. Sure enough, when she led police to the creek bed she had seen in her dream a body was found ... but it was the wrong body! Instead of six-year-old Kiesha Abrahams (above), who had been missing for two weeks, the police found half a torso of an adult woman, believed to be Kristi McDougall, a 31-year-old mother with a son aged two, who has been missing since 19 June. Cheryl, who is described in some media accounts as an aboriginal elder, said ... more

Psychic helps find missing kids (in: Paranormal) Aug 17, 2010: How many children are reported missing in the United States each day? The answer – 2,000 – is astonishing. That means 800,000 kids younger than 18 disappear each year. Most, thank goodness, eventually turn up. But those who are abducted may experience years of abuse, while others, tragically, are murdered. It's a huge problem and among those tackling it, on a voluntary basis, is the national Guardians of the Children (GOC). They have many successes to their credit, but now the Mt St Helen's Chapter has a new secret weapon - psychic Sonja Grace. I have already reported how the Norwegian-born "spiritual intuitive" guided GOC searchers to the body of Austin King, a missing teenager in Lewis County, Washington. I have also quoted the testimony of Michael Thornbrue who told me how Sonja Grace pinpointed on a map the precise position of a 10-year-old boy in woods on the outskirts of Portland, Oregon. Now I'd like to share with you the remarkable experiences of Jennifer Mau (top), who helped found GOC's Mt St Helen's chapter with her boyfriend, David, and has been working closely with the Portland psychic on several cases, often with astonishing results.... more
