Elizabeth Blake
Mrs. Elizabeth Blake, of Ohio, who died in 1920, was one of the most wonderful
Voice Mediums of whom we have any record, and perhaps the most evidential,
because in her presence the voices were regularly produced in broad daylight.
She was a poor, illiterate woman living in the tiny village of Bradrick on the
shore of the Ohio River, on the opposite bank of which was the town of
Huntingdon, in West Virginia. She had been a Medium since childhood. She was
strongly religious and belonged to the Methodist Church, from which, however,
like some others, she was expelled on account of her mediumship.
Little has been written about her, the only detailed account being a valuable
monograph by Professor Hyslop.* She is said to have been repeatedly tested by
"scientists, physicians and others," and to have submitted willingly to all
their tests. As, however, these men were unable to detect any fraud, they did
not trouble to give their results to the world. Hyslop had his attention drawn
to her by hearing that a well-known American conjurer, of many years'
experience, had become convinced of her genuineness, and in 1906 he travelled to
Ohio to investigate her mediumship.
