Eileen J. Garrett is considered by many as one of the most active mediums of the twentieth century and known for her objective approach to psi phenomena. Naturally sensitive from a young age to things psychic, as an adult Eileen began to formally hone her skills under the direction of James Hewat McKenzie at the British College of Psychic Science in the 1920s. 

“I have a gift, a capacity — a delusion, if you will — called ‘psychic,’” Mrs. Garrett wrote in her book of personal memoirs, Adventures in the Supernormal (1943). “I have been called many things, from a charlatan to a miracle woman. I am, at least, neither of these.” 

First Morgan tells Eileen’s life story, highlighting some of the famous medium’s involvement in some well-known experiments in psychical research with the aim to gain a better understanding of supernormal perception. She is known for her co-founding of, and tireless work within, The Parapsychology Foundation.

Later Morgan and Mike interview Eileen Garrett’s granddaughter, Lisette Coly, who has served as Vice President of the Parapsychology Foundation since 1978, charged with maintaining the foundation’s valuable library which is struggling to stay afloat in these difficult times.
