Paul Jacobs was tutored by Gordon Higginson who was not just President of his local church but also President of the Spiritualists' National Union, Principle of the Arthur Findlay College and one of the finest all round mediums of the 20th century.

At the age of 24 years, Gary is the UK' biggest Psychic Surgeon!

He has worked as a psychic sur-geon for over 5 years and a BBC TV Documentary has been made about his abilities to heal people.

As well as teaching and doing work-shops Gary now works with leading medical professionals such as midwife Dr Gowri Motha. The surgery techniques are non-invasive and painless.

He is back at The Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Centre by popular demand.

He gave a demonstration of his sur-gery at The SSPR’s Annual Confer-ence which was held at The Centre in October. And both his sessions were over-subscribed.

The Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Centre Open Day 21st Sept

Things You Can do When You’re Dead! by Tricia Robertson is the long awaited book from one of Scot-land’s foremost psychical researchers. In this book the author shares some of her thirty-year research into mediumship, reincarnation, psychic healing, apparitions, poltergeists, and after death communica-tions. Tricia’s refreshing no-nonsense approach to the subject makes for compelling reading and should interest sceptics, believers, and anyone who wants to know what you can do when you’re dead!

A former teacher of mathematics and physics Tricia is a long term council member, past Vice President and Immediate Past President of the Scottish Society for Psychical Research. In addition to 29 years of experience in investigating spontaneous cases Tricia has appeared on various radio and TV pro-grammes and has been invited over many years to speak to varied organisations throughout the U K, and on 21st September, she will be our guest speaker on the day!

Coming Soon: A visit to Cousland, near Dalkeith. This is a small village in Midlothian where local residents have reported strange happenings. There are Limestone Caves in the village, a Blacksmiths and a Chapel where it is reported that Mary Queen of Scots stayed. For our Autumn Programme, there will be vigils organised in haunted places. Two such places that are keen to have us investigate are a haunted Castle in The Borders, and a haunted hotel in Mid-Lothian. Also, we Plan to have experimental evenings of Tarot, Flower Sentience, Tea leaves, Hypnosis and Ribbons. We also plan to conduct some old-fashioned séances in blackout conditions—all as forms of experiment to assess what evi-dence we can find for psy—or paranormal phenomena! If you want to be part of this team of investigators, give us your contact details. Dates for future events will be posted in The Centre—Watch This Space!

Cousland Visit. 16 Aug To take part in the visit to Cousland and be part of an experi-ment to sense some of the strange happen-ings there. Call us to put your name down. Meet at the Townhall, Cousland, at 7.30pm. Tel: 0131 625 0700.
