Healing Hands

J. BERNARD HUTTON

This strange story of a spirit doctor is a book that is almost bound to excite controversy, because it is about a controversial subject.

It is the spare and simple story of the author, a hardened journalist, who, stricken with threatened blindness, came across a former Aylesbury fireman who purported to be the medium of a long-dead surgeon. The only emotion that the author felt when he went to Aylesbury (at his wife's bidding) was cynicism tinged with contempt. Yet, the miracle happened, and how it happened makes fascinating reading.

But this is more than an account of one man's involvement with the medium, George Chapman, and his spirit control, the late William Lang, F.R.C.S. For the author decided. to investigate further: he wanted facts, not fantasy, and what he learned is remarkable by any standards.
