N. Riley Heagerty has been researching Historic Spiritualism and Mediumship for over 3 decades and has concentrated on the physical phenomena attending the great mediums who manifested their gifts within what he refers to as the “Century of Wonders ” between 1848 and 1948. 


According to Mr. Heagerty, “That century produced mind-staggering manifestations witnessed on numerous occasions by individuals whose integrity would be an insult to question. We have been given countless instances of positive proof of not only life after death but direct communication by spirits. It is also a sad fact that the world, in general, is woefully unaware of these titanic events which, if understood, would change the course of human thinking.”


Riley has lectured in England and America and has first-hand experience with most of the recognized internationally known physical mediums, including private sittings with several of whom he and his wife Caroline, a well-known clairvoyant, have invited to their home for private sittings and observation.

N. Riley Heagerty's 11th book published on this wondrous subject. 

It can be seen as a sequel to the author's very first published book, The French Revelation — considered by many to be one of the finest books ever published containing direct teachings from  the World of Spirit. Presented herein are the literally spoken words of those who have made the Great Journey into transcendent lands of light, returning to speak to us of many mysterious wonders.

NEW February 2026

This 12th book — the sequel to Forever ~ Volume I — contains more astounding direct teachings and various communications from the World of Spirits:

  • Early documentations of out-of-body and near-death experiences

Etta Wriedt - Direct Voice Medium

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 Phenomena of Spirit Materialization

2021

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.

Included is a chapter on Mr. Heagerty's own travels through the Spirit World with the assistance of the most powerful and revered Shamanic entheogenic brew, Ayahuasca, also known as the Vine of the Soul, in the rainforests of Brazil.
