Is it possible for the living to contact the dead?

Capilano University psychologist Leonard George, MA'81, PhD'85 (Psychology), was determined to find out.

The noted author and researcher travelled to upstate New York – to the global centre of Spiritualism, a religion that emerged in the 19th century and is based on the belief that humans can connect with the spirits of the deceased.

“I wanted to go to where it all began. I wondered what it would feel like to be a medium. What better way to find out than to sign up (for a course),” said George, a former clinical psychologist at Vancouver General Hospital who has a PhD from the University of Western Ontario.

George reavealed some of the “amazing” and “shocking” things he discovered about being a medium, and the existence of a possible spirit world, in a Halloween lecture at 11: 30 a.m. on Wednesday, sponsored by the Capilano University Psychology Students Society.
