Voices of Spirit

In Voices of Spirit Charles Hapgood discusses fifteen years of work with Elwood Babbitt. He relates the phenomenon of trance mediums to recent research in parapsychology and examines Babbitt’s mediumship in depth. Two long chapters devoted to the “mechanics of spirit communication,” including the role of “controls” (spirits closer to the earthly plane who guide the medium) and a careful description of how images and spirit voices enter Babbitt’s mind, will fascinate both the curious skeptic and the believer. Full-length transcripts of communications which have come through trances are included in this volume.
