Winifred G. Barton attracted newspaper headlines in the 1960s and 1970s when she travelled across the country conducting metaphysical workshops and collecting accounts of the paranormal. She edited a collection of "extraordinary experiences" called Psychic Phenomena in Canada (Ottawa Psi-Science Productions Ltd., 1967). The appearance of her book predated the well-heralded advent of the so-called New Age; newspaper editors had not yet turned their editorial attention to spiritual and metaphysical adventures.
