Fifty Years a Medium – Chapter 4, 9/12 by Estelle Roberts

Nor could telepathy explain the following case in which neither the medium nor the two sitters had knowledge of what was communicated.
The first of these sitters had a private sitting for clairvoyance. A message came from her father in the spirit world.

I said: “Your father is giving me the name Florence. Do you know who she is?”
“Yes,” she replied. “Florence is my mother.”
“The message is: ‘Florence has an affliction of the heart. Soon it will show itself and she will be very ill. But she will not die.’”

My sitter went away with this alarming, yet reassuring, warning ringing in her ears, and could think of little else. Without saying anything to me, she sent her sister for a sitting and deliberately did not tell her the message she might receive. The sister came as a complete stranger, yet she received the identical message. Two sisters, one mother and the same message from the same source!

The mother was taken ill a few days later, and, in due course, she made an excellent recovery. The original sitter came back to tell me the whole story.
At one séance a husband returned to his wife with several messages, including one which stated that he had met his brother in the spirit world.

This statement mystified her because she had always believed her husband to be an only child. According to the foster-parents, who had brought him up in Ireland, he was an orphan without kith or kin, and so he had believed himself throughout his earthly life. Now here he was, within a short time of passing, returning to speak of a brother whom he had never known existed.
