Matthew Manning is a best selling British author and healer, alleged to have psychic abilities. Today, Manning continues to devote his efforts to psychic healing and lecturing, the former a claimed ability of his, of which the medical community remains skeptical.
This is the amazing story of the young Matthew Manning's (and his family's) paranormal experiences in the 1970s including poltergeist activity, automatic writing and channelled drawing. Taking Matthew's fascinating narrative at face value one must, I believe, accept it as evidence of there being 'something' after death. Very readable!
