Oh thank you so much “ exclaimed the “dead” boy. “I had three Christian names - Peter William Handford Kite”. to make sure he had transmitted his name correctly, he spelt his surname letter by letter, K-I-T-E. “I lived at 85 Upland Way, Grange Park” he added. When taking part in séances with Flint, participants would report hearing the voices of the dead surrounding them in the room. [8] Flint would perform bound and gagged in an attempt to prove that he was not throwing his voice. [8] [9] He claimed that he was able to conjure ectoplasm from which he could then reconstruct vocal cords. [9] However, Flint always insisted on performing in the dark, so séance-goers were unable to see him during the performances. [3] He would sometimes even perform in a cupboard. [3] My experience with Mr. Flint is first hand; I have heard the independent voices. Furthermore, modern investigation techniques not available in earlier tests corroborate previous conclusions by indicating that the voices are not his. But to be thorough, one should consider the possibility of live accomplices. This suggestion became untenable for me during his visit to New York in September 1970, when, in an impromptu séance in my apartment, the same voices not only appeared but took part in conversations with the guests. Barrymore is best known for his role as the nasty banker, Mr. Potter, in the classic movie, It’s a Wonderful Life, whose star was Jimmy Stewart.

Although Turner had been attending these seances for several weeks, non of the sitters knew he was a dentist. He said he remembered Peter coming to him for treatment some years before but he did not know he had joined the RAF and had not heard of his “death”. Sometimes those who speak from beyond the grave can achieve only a whisper, hoarse and strained. At other times they speak clearly and fluently in voices recognisably their own during life. Study all you can about Leslie Flint, otherwise you may never fully appreciate the actual reality and proof of survival that these tapes are offering. And then, of course, last, but not least, by all means listen carefully to every paranormal voice recording you can get your hands on. You will first notice that every communicator who comes through, with his or her own personaltiy fully intact, comes through with a very definite purpose and literally speaks from the heart and soul.

ISBN 978-1847670809 Leslie was impressed by Ms. Johnson’s knowledge of his tending to the grave of Mr. Lewis, but he was baffled by her statement that he would become a famous medium, as he was not aware of having psychic gifts, other than the two instances when he saw vanishing people as a child. Still, he became a regular at the Spiritualists meetings. One evening, a woman, who witnessed Ms. Johnson’s proclamation that Leslie was to become a famous medium, asked what he was going to do about it. Leslie replied: “Nothing, I’m not psychic, so what can I do about it.?”I have been blessed to work with Kevin Ryerson, a world-famous trance medium, who has been featured in the four of Shirley MacLaine’s books. The way that Kevin works is that he goes into a meditative state or a trance, much like sleep, and he allows spirit beings to use his vocal cords to speak to human beings. I have worked with Kevin monthly since 2001. It was a remarkable feat for the people no longer using bodies to create a voice box and attempt to mimic what they sounded like while still in a body on Earth decades or centuries before. The ectoplasmic voice box has not a molecule of the long-dead throat disintegrating in a grave somewhere. And yet consistently, those who knew the deceased said the qualities of the voices matched the people who had died. A different kind of medium is a physical medium, who facilitates the ability of spirit people to manipulate energy and matter. One of the most famous physical mediums in history is Daniel Dunglas Home (pronounced Hume), who produced the movement and levitation of physical objects, including levitating himself. Leslie Flint, a medium during the twentieth century, was involved in thousands of experiences in which people spoke to deceased loved ones and the deceased responded in normal conversations. Their voices did not come through the medium's mouth or from any one else present. The people whose loved ones came through all expressed with certainty that the voices were their loved ones' and that they had had conversations with the real, living person, although they had been dead, at times for decades. Professor Richet also pointed out that the communicating spirit must lower his or her own frequency to the lower one of the Earth and remember what his voice sounded like during its lifetime and recapture memories of happenings which will give proof of his or her identity to the person with whom the spirit wishes to communicate. If the communicating spirit is successful, the voice will sound like the voice it had while it was living on earth. Light Interferes with the Use of Ectoplasm, hence Voices in the Dark

His first psychic experience occurred when he was 7 years old, during World War I. Leslie was in his grandmother’s kitchen when his aunt walked in crying, sharing that her husband Alf had been killed in the war. Leslie had never met Alf. A soldier accompanied Nell carrying Alf’s possessions. Leslie then saw a second soldier walk in who appeared very sad, who started pulling on Aunt Nell’s sleeve to get her attention, though Nell seemed to be completely unaware of this man. Suddenly, the man completely disappeared. Later, when Nell showed Leslie a photograph of Alf, Leslie recognized him as the sad soldier who was tugging at Nell’s sleeve. When Alf revealed this to Nell and his grandmother, both told Leslie that he was lying. When Leslie persisted in saying this is who he saw, his grandmother gave him a “clout” to punish him for telling untruths. Leslie Flint became a famous British spirit medium, not because he stood on a platform to give messages from the deceased, but because countless thousands of spirit communicators spoke for themselves at his séances. The voices were independent of Flint - he even spoke with them himself - and many of the voices were recorded.The recording was also sent to some friends in London who had a record made by Ellen Terry to use in comparison with the recording and their own recall of Ellen Terry's voice. They compared the voice on the record with the voice on the tape and reported, "They are identical."

I must apologise to you for the way in which I received you at first, which was due to my ignorance and fear of the supernatural, but want you now to realise how much I appreciate your desire to help me. My husband is also much impressed with all that you told me.I think I can safely say I am the most tested medium this country has ever produced... I have been boxed up, tied up, sealed up, gagged, bound and held, and still the voices have come to speak their message of life eternal." - Leslie Flint, Independent Direct Voice Medium George Woods: “When you first passed over, how did you find things? Did you find a world similar to this one?” If a mythological world called "afterlife" were being created while the speaker was concentrating on the person's story, accent, gender, portrayal of life in the afterlife, and all of the other components of the sessions, we would expect inconsistencies and changes over the decades during which the sessions were held, purely by accident. Instead, the accounts are entirely consistent, demonstrating that the speakers were all describing the same foreign land. Based on twenty-two years of research, this compelling and revelationary book contains spectacular eye-witness accounts of seance phenomena and dramatic communi- cations from several famous people, notably Sir Winston Churchill, from the spirit world.

With the money he earned, he and his grandmother would go to the movies, which Leslie loved. Rudolph Valentino was one of their favorite silent movie stars. In two of Valentino’s most famous movies, The Sheik and The Son of Sheik, he played the part of an Arab. A colorized photograph of Valentino in his sheik costume is provided to the right.
