FYI&I, W. L. Mackenzie King, a former Prime Minister of Canada also held seances and consulted spirits. See below (taken from search engine www.northernlight.com).

..............Yet King led Canada from twenty-two years, through half the Depression and the whole of the Second World War. Such an accomplishment required political acuity, decisiveness and occasionally ruthlessness, all of which King was capable!

And behind the image of the stuffy bachelor, King was a spiritualist. Caught up in the fad of spiritualism in the 1920s, King continued to hold seances throughout his life. With a few close friends and sometimes a medium, King regularly communicated with the spirits of his mother(to whom he was excessively devoted), his grandfather(the leader of the 1837 Rebellion, William Lyon Mackenzie), his predecessor Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the great nineteenth century British Liberal Prime Minister Gladstone, as well as Saint Luke and Saint John, all of whom advised him on his career and politics!

While King was alive, of course, few had any inkling of this other side of his life. However, he kept a diary in which he recorded his activities with those of this world and the next.
