Doris Stokes
Unquestionably the most famous medium of the present day, communicates with ‘the other side’ as though she was talking to someone in the next room. Faint-hearted spirits are quite likely to be told, ‘Speak up, dear, I can’t hear you’, and the over-anxious are politely requested to wait their turn.
It is her natural, almost familiar, earthy approach to the spirit world that makes her so extraordinary. On May 4, 1984, she was appearing before a huge audience in Stoke-on- Trent when she heard a familiar voice among the spirits trying to ‘get through’. She gasped with surprise and cried out ‘Oh no, Diana, that can’t be you.’ Later that evening she checked with the local radio and they told her that actress Diana. Dors had just died after her courageous fight against cancer.

Also typical of her approach is the way she made contact with the popular comedian Tommy Cooper, who collapsed and died in the middle of a performance being shown on TV. Doris said that as it happened she saw him get up and leave his body. Shortly after she happened to spend the night at a hotel in Leicester where Cooper had stayed just before his death. She said, ‘There was a massive bed in the room and I was looking at it when I heard Tommy’s voice say “I needed that” and there was a peel of his unmistakable wild laughter.’ During the night she got up to make herself a cup of tea. As she climbed between the sheets again she heard him chuckle and say ‘Enjoy the bed.’
Though she has in recent years built up a massive following all over the world, Doris Stokes admits that when she was young she did not welcome the realization that she had an extraordinary gift. ‘I really didn’t want to know. I wanted to be normal and ordinary.’ She looks ordinary enough, pleasant, grey-haired and homely in spite of the expensive beaded gowns she wears for her public performances. But several photographs taken of her while she is listening to her spirit voices reveal a strength and force that is quite startling. Her smile is wide and friendly but her grey eyes have obviously seen things that others have not.…more…Part-2…
