Eileen J. Garrett
The Medium Who Talked to the Dead

Eileen J. Garrett was called one of the greatest trance-mediums in the West and was renowned among researchers of paranormal activities.

The New York-based Parapsychology Foundation was established in 1951 by the eminent trance-medium (a person who "connects" with the dead) Eileen J. Garrett. She presided over the foundation until her death in 1970.

The foundation supports scientific and academic research about the psychical aspects of human nature and provides professional resources. It also runs one of the largest libraries on paranormal phenomena, with holdings of over 10,000 books, manuscripts and audio-visual materials.

Garrett did not hold any professional degrees and had no license to practice any of the healing arts, but she apparently helped and cured "hundreds of physicians, scientists, writers, editors, psychologists, bereaved parents and children, and the prime minister of a very large country, " according to the foundation's Parapsychology Review.

Garrett seemed to get messages from the dead when she was in trance.
