Helen Duncan was born in Callender, Scotland, on the 25 November 1897. From an early age she is said to have displayed the 'gift' of mediumship (contact with the spirit world). A prominent feature of her sittings was her ability to produce 'ectoplasm' from her mouth during her trances - a stringy white substance that is supposed to give form to spirits and allow them to make contact with beloved relatives.
With the help of the stunning trance mediumship of Gordon Smith, Helen directs Mary to uncover a rare insight into her life and reveals for the first time startling accounts of what really happened at the last fateful séance, transcribed verbatim, from the written testimonies of the people who were in that room.Information so valuable from all sources including the Spritualist National Union, Lawyers, Sitters and the Police.
“This book is a compelling read of a truly fabulous person and the horrific way in which she was treated. The fact that the evidence it self was given through trance makes it even more remarkable.” - Edward Nichol, Jedburgh
“The book is a lovely read. I just didn’t expect the story to unfold the way that it did.You have to read it to believe it!” - Jason Carter, Australia
