Media Watch
Phenomena In The Media
Lisa Butler writes a column for
The National Spiritualist Summit magazine. The column
includes a review of the media for information about
phenomena related to transcommunication, how people are experiencing it and how scientists are
studying it. The objective is to show that the phenomena are being substantiated by modern research, and
for mediumship, that
there is no need to depend on 100-year-old research reported in the
history books.
