Books by N Riley Heagerty

Prepare yourself again for the mind-staggering eyewitness accounts of some of the greatest mediums who manifested spirit phenomena within the astounding records of Historic Spiritualism. To the average individual, these are events so marvelous that it will surpass belief-and yet they are not only true, but validated by the positively unimpeachable character of the eye-witnesses. Compiled by historian N. Riley Heagerty, this is the second volume in the series.Rock solid, empirical evidence of séance room events which have been swept under the carpet of denial for 150 years are now made available for those discerning individuals, interested in life after death and spirit return, can read for themselves of the glorious manifestations, the beauty and the sheer heart stomping drama produced within the Heyday of Spiritualism.

Elizabeth Blake was one of Early America's greatest physical spiritual mediums, demonstrating her gift in the tiny hamlet of Bradrick, Ohio chiefly between the years 1860 to 1920. Mrs. Blake worked non-stop for nearly sixty years, and sat for more than 200,000 people in that time. With the exception of her night circles which she held usually when requested, she sat in broad daylight, along with one of the most unique characteristics of her séances, using a double-sided, lightweight metal tube or "trumpet." Through painstaking research, the noted spiritualist historian N. Riley Heagerty has pieced back together much of the mysterious puzzle of Mrs. Blake, practically lost in time. This plain, assuming woman talked with those on the "Other Side", freely giving of her time to help the grief-stricken reconnect and converse with loved ones, long thought lost forever.
