Message from the Chair
MEET THE MEDIUMS We have three resident mediums here at the centre who offer Private Sittings on a daily basis, at a
time to suit you. Contact us on 0131 625 0700 to book your sitting. Cost: £35 per half hour
EWAN IRVINE
Ewan is a Medium working in the UK and
Ireland.
As a child, Ewan experienced many strange
happenings that could not be explained
logically. It was only at the age of 19 that he
began to realise that he had the ability of
mediumship. Having developed these abilities,
he became a regular demonstrator of
mediumship within the UK and Ireland.
Ewan also has a great interest in the
paranormal and has used his mediumship
ability within many haunted locations.
Ewan has also appeared in a number of TV
productions including Most Haunted Live and
ITV’s Tough Gig.
Ewan is a qualified hypnotherapist and has
also written a number of articles and co-wrote
the book " The Wee Book O'Scottish
Mindfooness " with fellow hypnotherapist
Susan Cohen.
YVONNE CRAIG
Yvonne is a member of the Edinburgh
Association of Spiritualists Church, based
here in the Arthur Conan Doyle Centre.
She is a psychic and medium and has been
very fortunate to have trained for some 15
years with many of the top tutors at the
Arthur Findlay College, Stansted, Essex.
Yvonne currently teaches a beginners
awareness class at the church, and serves
many churches throughout Scotland as well
as giving spiritual readings and assessments
here in the centre.
It is Yvonne’s privilege to be able to bring
comfort and upliftment through Spiritual
readings to those seeking to reconnect to
their loved ones and proving survival.
ANN TREHERNE
Ann comes from Edinburgh, the birthplace and
hometown of Arthur Conan Doyle and is Chair of
The Centre.
Like Arthur, Ann is a Psychic Investigator and
long-standing member of The Scottish Society for
Psychical Research.
As well as tutoring in Meditation, Psychic and
Mediumistic Development, she also trains
Psychic Investigators and Researchers. In her no
nonsense approach, she advocates
investigation via scientific and analytic means.
When undertaking Private Sittings, Ann works
with the sitter in a sensitive manner to bring help
and comfort to those in need.
Ann is currently writing a book about her
experiences and when not directing operations
at The Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Centre, she travels
nationally and internationally giving talks and
running training courses on Mediumship, Psychic
Investigations, and of course, on Arthur Conan
Doyle.
MEDIUM AVAILABILITY
Ann Treherne— Wednesday Evenings and Thursday’s
Ewan Irvine— Wednesday Afternoon’s (or by appointment)
Yvonne Craig— Monday Evenings
Summer is almost upon us and The Centre is gearing up for the frenetic activity of
The Fringe and the wealth of international visitors and performers that it brings. We
have a varied selection of performers with us again this year - see page 5 for details.
Before that however, we celebrate the fact that we are host to some of the best
mediums in the world - on 20th May, Paul Jacobs will be back with his 5 day Course;
in June, Gordon Smith's School of Intuitive Mediumship runs its second module of the
Foundation Course and in July Tony Stockwell is conducting a course on Trance,
something I know is very popular for those wanting to take their mediumship that
step further. Tony is also giving a demonstration of mediumship on Saturday, 8th July
- something not to be missed!
As we head towards the Autumn we've given you a sneaky peak at some of our
speakers in our Tuesday Talks series, which is growing more popular and attracting a
regular audience. Also, we have some new Mediums to The Centre in our 'Affordable
Workshop' series. See page 4 for more information.
So, I hope we have given you food for thought and we look forward to welcoming you
to some of our events.

Interview with Paul Jacobs In an exclusive interview with Rose, Marketing and Events
Coordinator at the centre, world renowned medium Paul Jacobs sits
down with us to tell of his first experience with spiritualism, how he
dealt with it growing up, and gives us some tips on what to expect if
you’ve never been to a demonstration of mediumship before. You
can access this interview in full via our website.
Can you tell us a bit about your background. Where are you
from and how did you get involved with Spiritualism?
I’m from Wolverhampton originally and it was Wolverhampton
Spiritualist Church where I first entered a Spiritualist Church. I had
moved into temporary home premises connected to my work and I was
having all of these weird and wonderful, strange objective experiences
that scared the living daylights out of me. Then a few days later I was
walking down a road and came across a building I’d walked past
countless times saying Spiritualist Church and I thought I’d go in and
see what’s going on. When I went in the medium on stage turned out to
be my great aunt. 6 weeks later I had a phone call from her asking if I
was still attending, and she invited me to go to Gordon Higginson’s
church and meet him which meant nothing to me, but of course he was
the president of the Spiritualist National Union, principle of the Arthur
Findlay College, and the finest medium in the last 100 years. 6 weeks
later my aunt died. Gordon Higginson was due to take the funeral
service, he called me over to sit with him and said ‘I can help you young
man’ and that was the beginning of my journey with mediumship.
Do you recall having a specific first encounter that made you
realise you might have a talent for it?
I always had experiences as a child which I would tell my parents about
but they just said it’s your imagination. When I would go to bed, I would
say there’s a gentleman in the room or a lady in my bedroom but they
would just brush it off as my imagination. Then in my later teens I
moved into an old property and I would be aware of this gentleman who
it turned out used to live in the place but had gone to the spirit world. I
just kept putting these experiences to one side, I didn’t actually think it
was me being a medium, I thought it was just the places I was going or
had been. Then before I was going to the Wolverhampton Church I was
having very strong experiences, I would hear objectively my name being
called and I would dive under the bed covers and say ‘go away, I don’t
want to speak to you’, and I would see lights shooting across the room.
I found it quite scary and I didn’t understand coming from a Catholic
background, there’s a negative aspect taught from orthodox religion so
I thought it was something negative when actually it was the spirit
world trying to give me that push to do something about my
development.
When you feel a spirit there, what is the sensation?
There’s not one set of feelings, sometimes it all depends what faculties
they’re using at the time. If you’re using your clairvoyance and
clairaudience, the clairsentience drops down a bit, or sometimes you
hardly get any clairvoyance or clairaudience and then the
clairsentience gets stronger. But if you get what I call a real soul to soul
blending because the emotion is the base point, then in a way you
become that person, you become the essence of them and what
they’re experiencing emotionally, mentally and physically. I often say to
a recipient at times when it’s really strong - that the love and desire of
the person from the spirit world communicating to that individual - that
if you could feel what I could feel from them for you, it would mean far
more than any evidence that I could give you, it’s very diffi-
cult to put in to words. This is a problem with medi-
umship, more and more mediums need to accept and
acknowledge that no medium is 100% accurate. It’s not
possible. Our conscious mind interferes. We have to inter-
pret those feelings and emotions, we also have to inter-
pret those clairvoyant pictures and we can make mis-
takes. I’m honest when I do demonstrations, especially at
demonstrations with non-spiritualists. I’ll say before I start
‘No medium is 100% accurate’. If more people went with
that approach then it would be better, and more accepta-
ble. As receptive as I am at that time I never know from
one communication to the next how receptive I’m going to
be, what type of evidence, how I’m going to receive it, dif-
ferent communicators from the spirit world you blend easi-
er with than others, and even a recipient isn’t always a
good recipient, they can make or break the communica-
tion. So I think it takes all 3 ingredients; the recipient, me
and the communicator to play their part right for that con-
tact and communication to really build and unfold.
For people who are attending a demonstration for
the first time, what can they expect and what
would your advice be?
Quite often a large percentage of my audience have never
been to a demonstration before so I try to explain to them
how it works; the mechanics of it. I also try to explain that
it is quite natural, that we’re not calling up the dead or
disturbing them, if you’re loved ones come to communi-
cate they come because they want to, because you are
here. If they didn’t want to communicate then as a
medium there is nothing I can do about it. People do have
fears, but it is often down to lack of education,
misunderstandings negativity that has been taught
through certain religions and through media platforms.
There are still very limited spaces left for Pauls course on
20th-24th May and 23rd-27th September. Call now to book.

BLOW YOUR OWN TRUMPET
Experimental Transcendental Phenomena
Jacqui McGleish CSNUt
Understanding different states of trance and altered states to
help achieve a natural spiritual progression.
Within the day we will be looking into different states of trance
where we can achieve a higher level of altered states, whether
this is through meditation or binaural beats.
We will achieve this through different types of meditation, then
experiment on the best way to see changes, hear sounds and
attempt to get direct links with spirit. Leave fears and inhibitions
behind and be guided by our deep senses within, and spirit
inspirers.
Don’t be afraid but be enthralled by
the possibilities
Suited to all levels
