Etta Wriedt: One of the Greatest American Direct Voice Mediums of the 20th Century

In his tenth work, researcher N. Riley Heagerty delves into the life of Etta Wriedt, one of the great American Direct Voice mediums of the "Heyday of Spiritualism" during the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. In Wriedt's presence, voices of deceased communicators manifested in the room that didn't emanate from her or the sitters. They communicated in numerous languages (sometimes at the same time), including Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Hindustani, and Italian, whereas Wriedt only spoke English, or what one investigator called "Yankee." Scientists and investigators such as Sir Oliver Lodge, Sir William Barrett, William T. Stead and Vice-Admiral Osborne Moore all witnessed the phenomena on multiple occasions, as did other luminaries of the day who went to great efforts to rule out trickery and sleight of hand before becoming convinced of her abilities. "The stories of life within this incalculably valuable book can only strengthen the realization that our loved ones are never very far away, but closer than we could ever imagine." ~ August, Goforth, author, The Risen: Dialogues of Love, Grief, & Survival Beyond Death. "Once again N. Riley Heagerty has gifted the world with breath-taking research. The evidence contained in this book will remove any last lingering doubts you may have about the glorious reunions with our loved ones that await us." ~ Victor and Wendy Zammit, authors, A Lawyer Presents the Evidence for the Afterlife.
