Alec Harris: The Full Story of His Remarkable Physical Mediumship by Louie Harris


In 2009, a biography was published that offers many insights into the life of Alec Harris (1897-1974), a 'physical' (or 'materialization') trance medium. Alec Harris — The Full Story of His Remarkable Physical Mediumship was written by his wife Louie Harris. An abbreviated version had been released in 1980.

The book includes a report by Psychic News editor Maurice Barbanell, who had attended a 1946 seance. Here is the beginning of the article.

There is in South Wales one of our most remarkable materialisation mediums. At his séances Spirit forms not only show themselves in good red light, but hold sustained conversations, after having walked about 10 feet from the cabinet.

At a sitting which I attended I saw 30 forms materialise during two and a half hours, the length of the sitting. Alec Harris does not use his gift professionally, deriving his income from his work for a government department. The sittings have to be held fairly late at night because his wife is engaged in an orchestra at a local theatre.

Barbanell mentioned that the forms always appear clothed in dazzlingly white ectoplasm, which I noticed as usual did not reflect the red light . . . On several occasions I handled the flowing ectoplasmic draperies, which were soft and silky to the touch. I shook hands with two forms. Their hands were firm and normal.

During the seance, one materialisation parted the curtains so that we could see the form and the medium at the same time.

Here are some book excerpts representing some of the many unexpected occurrences at Alec Harris sittings. The most bizarre incidents had to be among those that Louie best remembered. She described numerous guides/communicators throughout the book. The one she accepted as her 'main guide and head of all the Circle's workers in Spirit' was 'White Wing.' Another medium described 'White Wing' to Louie as a great Chieftain, a North American Indian in a convincing manner as the medium addressed her with the nickname that White Wing used when speaking with her: Faithful.

Mentioned in the following excerpt are two of the many 'guides' who manifested after Alec went into a trance — 'Fiji' and 'The Scientist.'... continues
