Medium Eileen Garrett - Entity Releases Ghost
Parapsychologist Ebon and Medium Free Woman of Earthbound Spirit
The event occurred when “exorcism” was applied to the treatment of demonic and spirit possession, although research into the latter began at least 50 years before. Garrett is best known for her psychic talents; however, she was also a dedicated parapsychologist.
Eileen Garrett and Martin Ebon
Garrett was one of the most talented trance mediums. Uvani, her primary control, Abdul Latif, her secondary one, and other entities spoke through her. Hereward Carrington, a highly respected parapsychologist, examined her, trying to discover if the beings were secondary personalities. Garrett and the entities were given a number of psychological tests. From the results, Carrington believed they were independent personalities, with no strong emotional or other connections with Garrett or any portion of her subconscious. Other researchers disputed this. Carrington said they couldn’t explain how the entities, known to have existed as humans, could convey verifiable information beyond Garrett’s knowledge and experiences.
In 1951, Garrett and the Hon. Frances P. Bolton founded the Parapsychology Foundation, PF, to encourage and support impartial scientific inquiry into the psychical part of human nature. This is one of the most prestigious parapsychological organizations in the world.
Martin Ebon, a highly regarded parapsychologist, was administrative secretary for the PF when Francis Basso had an unusual request for Garrett. Could she “exorcise” a witch’s spirit who possessed a woman? Ebon had an active part in the proceedings. To protect confidentiality, he used pseudonyms.
The events happened prior to the time when “exorcism” was the general term used for treating demonic and spirit possession, although the latter had been researched and written about much earlier in the 20th century.
Garrett Begins Releasement
Victoria and Walter Camden were an affluent Manhattan couple, lived in an old townhouse and owned a Pennsylvania farm. Victoria had had paranormal experiences and suffered from anxiety and the stress.
Garrett, Ebon, Basso and the couple met at a restaurant. They had a pleasant dinner with enjoyable mundane conversation. When they arrived at the townhouse, Victoria’s mood suddenly changed into that of a scared child. She trembled and whispered that Ruth, the witch’s ghost, was there.
Garrett Depossessing Victoria
Paranormal phenomena started when Victoria began to do automatic writings. She wasn’t familiar with psychic abilities and unaware of what was happening. Most of the writings came from different entities who claimed to have lived in different places at different times. Many of begged for prayers.
Most of the writings were done in Pennsylvania. Other paranormal events accompanied them. Ghosts were sighted; strange noises heard. Victoria said she had been sick from the day they moved into their Manhattan home.
Garrett walked through the home, getting a feel for the rooms, a psychic talent, psychometry, reading places and/or objects and/or a bodily sensation. When she was finished, Garrett went into a trance.
It was Abdul’s voice that spoke, asking Victoria what she wanted. Her body convulsed as she said, in Ruth’s voice, “peace.” Abdul told her to come to him. Ruth/Victoria stumbled across the room , then knelt before Abdul/Garrett. He told Ruth, gently, treating her like a frightened child, that she must go and let Victoria be in peace.
Garrett came out of her trance and asked what had happened. The atmosphere had changed to one of peace. They told her and she said a drink would be in order. Refreshments were provided, which they enjoyed in Walter’s study while they talked about the events.
