  • part 2 of 1 Quote from Winston Churchill: "Give me a report of the 1735 Witchcraft Act," Churchill wrote in a furious memo. "What was the cost of a trial in which the recorder [junior magistrate] was kept busy with all this obsolete tomfoolery?" Although he saw through the "tomfoolery" he allowed the law to incarcerate her in the infamous Holloway jail for 9 months. For Shame!

    This comment is written by someone who knew Helen well.

    Does any one think that the British government at this late stage would admit they were wrong, that they accused, convicted and sent to jail an innocent woman based on the witchcraft act of the 18th century?

  • @badpsychicstv you are entitled to your opinion. Although I read you gathered your opinion on material based on the evidence that was left DELIBERATELY to tarnish her. I am a great granddaughter of Helen's. I know the personal trauma my family suffered at the loss of our matriarch at that time & how the evil of this tragedy affected my family & our history for almost 2 generations If it wasn't for this woman, creating my Grandma, my dad & the name I have that is hers, I wouldn't be me. God Bless

  • does any1 know of any physical mediums looking 4 sitters 2 attend any seances or even ouija board sessions in Scotland? i am choking 2 attend any ligitamite groups attempts at contacting the deceased........

  • Helen Duncan was a genuine medium, I am one of the lucky few who has hand written letters verifying this from people who sat with her.

  • @42255nell Wow you have a really really low convincing level dont ya!

    Have you not seen the photos of Peggy? Helen Duncan was a fraud, convicted as well as bloody obvious looking at her photos.

  • @BadPsychicsTV I have read the evidence pros and cons. Some pictures are in early days of her development. Some faked by Harry Price. I see you make no mention of the pictures later on. She was convicted under the Witchcraft Act so that way they could get a conviction. I have read the trial transcripts. Have you? You are basing your comments on such a small piece of things. Have you seen the photo of the bust that her guide Albert posed for? Is that all you do is insult people?

  • @42255nell She was faking from the start. Really dodgy shows with cheesecloth and so on.

    She used to swallow the cheesecloth tight packed, and then regurgitate it during the seance. The loud music and singing would hide the noise of her removing the restraints and performing the act.

    She was a fraud and a pretty blatant one. No one would get away with such nonsense these days with dodgy punch and judy puppets and so on.

    I know all about her. And Its pointless arguing as its so obvious

  • I am doing my final law year dissetation on witchcraft and as a believer myself am very interested in more information, particularly the legal aspect of the trial or anyone else prosecuted under this ridiculous act.. has anyone footage other than this of Helen? or any other info gratefully received Michelle

  • @LancashireHauntings Just look on google for photos of Helen with the ridiculous puppet called Peggy! How anyone could believe this was spirit is beyond me, perhaps it shows the ignorance, desperation and naivety of people of this time> Such nonsense would not be accepted today, would it???

  • evpman, is there any chance you have more Helen Duncan or other medium recordings you can upload? This is an extraordinary find.

  • @ar4216 google Lesley flint (direct voice medium )and follow the links to some brill recordings

  • @tafferty

    Thanks. Those recordings are very interesting.

  • @tafferty Compaere his Gandhi with the real voice of Gandhi, nothing at all alike. Flints dodgy impression of Gandhi sounds more like Mr Patel from the cornershop by me!

    Flint was another blatant fraud. If he was alive today he would probably be doing dodgy impressions of Amy Winehouse, and gullible fools would be lapping it up.

    I have always wondered why spiritualists seem to have a total lack of common sense and critical thinking

  • anyone interested in more research check out the other vids on helen duncan, most informative, the ch 4 documentary good also the wee man talkin, physical mediumship by the psychic times is most informative..wax hands also evidence for physical materialisation

  • There is a very good book by David Fontana called "Is There an Afterlife". It's what got me interested in Helen Duncan and Spiritualism. Have you ever wondered why there no longer seem to be any great physical mediums?

  • @ar4216 well there could be a few reasons why there are no longer great physical mediums..firstly the whole physical mediumship phenomena could simply be trickery therefore nobody these days would risk trying to produce fake ectoplasm as the media would soon be on to them. these days "psychics" have opted for the "safer" clairaudience where they don't actually have to produce anything spectacular...

  • @dmustard11 There is a materialization medium operating in Australia whose name is David Thompson. One of the methods in use to prevent trickery by the medium is to fill his hands with flour, thereby leaving traces if the medium tried to manipulate anything.

  • @k0smon interesting BUT other sitters in the room could manipulate things. it's happened before.

  • @dmustard11 A materialization seance (I have attended 2) takes place in darkroom (red light) conditions. It would be quite obvious to all if someone was attempting to manipulate anything. Have you actually seen that happen?

  • @k0smon He was exposed a while ago. Even the Psychic News turned on him.

    Sorry no such thing as physical mediumship, just failed magicians doing bad tricks IN THE DARK

  • @BadPsychicsTV ::: Who is "He"? There are sure a lot of them out there for there to be 'no such thing'. There are many successful seances. I have attended two myself. David Thompson in Australia conducts them weekly. See 'victorzammit,com'.

  • @k0smon It was David Thompson i was reffering too! He was doing a seance and some light from a car headlight got into the room through a gap in the blackout and it clearly showed him stood up. The was a load of controversy at the time and loads of SNU people turned on him, thats why he is in Australia now.

  • @BadPsychicsTV ::: Wow, they caught him standing up? Might have been a reaction from the sudden light. Doesn't sound too incriminating to me. Got any reference that I can check out on the internet?

  • @k0smon No he was supposed to be tied down to his chair! He was waving one of the gimmicks around if I remember correctly. You should google the whole thing, do your research, because these people are definitely not the real deal.

    Ask yourself why the likes of Thompson refuse any night vision cameras, and photography at all! If you accept that Helen Duncan was real, well she allowed such photography!

  • ectoplasm was used to coat the spirit person with,so that their molecules would vibrate at the same rate as the molecules we are consisted of,allws them to b solid form either wholly or partially, i know people who are most reliable witnesses who have sat with helen..if she was a fake why jail her for 9 month,a threat to national security as a fake?the witchcraft act revised in 1953. Churchil wanted to know why money was spent on such a big court case at a time or war

  • It seems lyk Helen did either Hot or Cold readings....
