Lilian Bailey was a deep trance
medium who gave survival evidence to many notable
personalities in the 20th-Century. Kings and
Princes consulted her because of her gift which
allowed communicators from the next world to
speak to their loved ones on Earth.
Her many clients included "The World's
Sweetheart" Mary Pickford, filmstar of the
silent screen; Hollywood actress Merle Oberon of Wuthering
Heights fame; the inimitable Mae West; and
one of Canada's Premiers, Mr MacKenzie King, plus
members of the British Royal Family.Lilian recalls she was once
approached by a lady who asked her if she would
give a consultation "to a group of
VIPs" in London. She agreed, was blindfolded
in a limousine, and then driven to a secret
venue.
She was ushered into a
building and invited to sit down. She thought she
heard a rustling of skirts at this time; then,
still unable to see, she fell into trance . . .
After the seance, upon
removing the blindfold she discovered she was in
an elegant drawing-room seated before Queen
Elizabeth, the late Queen Mother, and other
senior members of the British Royal Family.
She learned that during
her deep-trance state, the late King George VI
had controlled her and had spoken to the Queen
Mother, and this was to be the first of several
such seances.
The Queen Mother was so
impressed with Lilian Bailey's mediumship that
she took a gold brooch from her dress and
presented it to the medium, saying, ' I would
like you to accept this.'
Elizabeth,
the late Queen Mother,
who lived to be 101 years
old.

King George VI, of course, knew
all about mediums when he was alive. When his
speech therapist, Lionel Logue, had told him that
he'd visited mediums to seek evidence of his
wife's survival after death, the King was not
shocked; in fact he was supportive and remarked,
"My family are no strangers to
Spiritualism." Queen Victoria had regularly sat
with her personal medium and close friend, John
Brown.

Lilian Bailey had two
main spirit-helpers. The first was a young
soldier named William Hedley Wootton, an
ex-Grenadier Guards' Captain who had been killed
in France in 1914-18 War. From beyond death,
William gave his mother's full name and address,
and a letter from his parents in Boston, USA,
verified his existence. Lilian also obtained a
spirit photograph of her guide via the mediumship
of William Hope.
The second
spirit-control was a Cingalese girl who liked to
be called 'Poppet'.
When asked about what
her mediumship had taught her, Lilian replied:
'I am so sure that life
goes on after death. It is not a hope - it is an
absolute conviction. There is no question in my
mind that we shall meet, and be with, those whom
we love.'
