NEW March 2024

In his tenth work, researcher N. Riley Heagerty delves into the life of Etta Wriedt, one of the great American Direct Voice mediums of the "Heyday of Spiritualism" during the late nineteenth to early twentieth century.

In Wriedt's presence, voices of deceased communicators manifested in the room that didn't emanate from her or the sitters. They communicated in numerous languages (sometimes at the same time), including Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Hindustani, and Italian, whereas Wriedt only spoke English, or what one investigator called "Yankee."

The Transcendent Wonder of The Ages

This is Riley Heagerty’s ninth work about the Afterlife and it lives up to the high standards he has already set in his previous works. Meticulously researched from difficult-to-access sources, it has been lovingly assembled as a service to humankind. The cases in this book contain eye-witness accounts by dozens of intelligent and discerning observers that people who had died proved to them that they lived on in another dimension. They did this by materializing: becoming solid, walking around a room talking with their loved ones, touching and being touched. They shared memories, made jokes and talked about their continuing life in the spirit world. If you sit in a physical mediumship circle, or are curious about materialization, or just looking for the very best evidence confirming that you personally will survive death, you will find the information in this book life changing.
