Voices: A Doris Stokes Collection

Product Information

I also met a woman who, at the age of eighteen, was told that she would be the next Doris Stokes. Later, she went on to win Channel 5’s series Britain’s Psychic Challenge.

Whispering Voices, Doris Stokes with Linda Dearsley (1985). Publisher: FUTURA PUBLICATIONS; 1st edition. At the time, Linda “didn’t appreciate how amazing it all was and how, all over the country, people were having their lives changed by Doris’ work. The press couldn’t get over the fact that Doris appeared not to have accumulated the enormous wealth they were certain she must have possessed.

Stories about the mystery of her missing millions kept appearing in papers. There were dark hints about secret Swiss bank accounts and offshore companies. Voices in My Ear: Autobiography of a Medium (1985). Publisher: TBS The Book Service Ltd; New edition. Stokes co-wrote seven volumes of autobiography, but some of the events she describes in them have been questioned. That happens a lot - in fact, as I'm telling this story I can feel her putting her arm around my shoulder and it's making me feel very emotional.

Winton, Dale (1 September 2002). "We broke down the door ... my beautiful mother was lying dead on the bed". The Mail on Sunday. p.49. Ellen Jameson, 46, best known for co-hosting a late-night Radio 2 show with husband Derek, is now a celebrity interviewer on Channel 5's Espresso show. Almost 20 years ago she met the famous celebrity stage medium Doris Stokes and witnessed her amazing revelations firsthand. She has been a firm believer in psychic powers ever since and has even set up her own astrology company, giving forecasts to business people. Ellen Jameson He then said Doris had "opened the door" and let my father through, and gave an amazingly accurate description of him. He described Dad as a small man who'd had trouble with his legs before he died and said he was quite foggy when he passed over. That was spot on and I was very moved.Doris gave me lots of support when I decided to start my business, Astro Angels. She told me as soon as I met her when I was dabbling with the tarot cards, that I would end up in this line of work and she says she is very proud. If Doris hadn’t passed when she did, I thought, ‘I wonder what other titles they would have been able to think of using voices?’ Suddenly, into my head jumped the title Voices Everywhere.

a b c d e f "Stokes, Doris May Fisher". Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Oxford University Press. June 2004. Doris May Fisher Stokes (6 January 1920 – 8 May 1987), born Doris Sutton, was a British spiritualist, professional medium, and author. Her professed ability to communicate with the dead, public performances, television appearances, and memoirs made her a household name in Britain. [1] During her lifetime she was a controversial figure, with some believing her to possess psychic abilities, but investigations published after her death demonstrated that she used techniques including cold reading, hot reading, and planting accomplices in her audience, giving the appearance of having paranormal abilities. [2] Early life [ edit ] It was almost as if there really were voices everywhere, so I added that title to my list of suggestions and sent it off. Another participant was Marilyn Stenning, whose daughter Kerry had recently died in a car accident. She received a personal phone call from Stokes, offering her front-row seats for the Palladium performance. Other participants included "camp followers", who regularly attended the shows and repeatedly received messages from the same people. During the second half of the performance, members of the audience were chosen apparently at random. Wilson described this post-interval performance as "much less convincing... [relying] on intelligent guesswork and 'fishing '". [2] Disputed memoirs and testimony [ edit ] Connelly, Michael (11 June 1989). "Who Shot Vic Weiss". Los Angeles Times. Archived from the original on 11 December 2006 . Retrieved 3 January 2007. Ten years later, Weiss' killing remains unsolved and one of the San Fernando Valley's most puzzling mysteries.Both my parents are dead, but I feel Doris is my guardian now. I never feel alone. I recently challenged' another medium, Craig Hamilton-Parker, to demonstrate his skills live on my Espresso show. He knew nothing about my link with Doris, but she came through to him and he said, "Doris tells me you're a chocaholic, but you're doing well". I was astounded because nobody knew I had battled to give up chocolate two years earlier. This article - from some years ago now - reports on my experiences with Ellen Jameson who was a friend of the medium Doris Stokes and had a message from her on live TV. Watch the video, then read Ellen's comments. If she had millions stashed away that would never have happened. When Terry, her adopted son, passed on a few years later there wasn’t even enough money to bury him and Psychic News ran an appeal to give him a decent funeral. As explained, people with unusual abilities – little echoes of Doris – kept crossing my path like beads on a string, each one unknowingly revealing another strand of the mystery.
