Who Was Arthur Findlay?
ARTHUR FINDLAY, O.B.E.,
Psychic Researcher,
Author & Historian,
(16th May, !883 - July 1964)
Arthur Findlay was a psychic researcher in the true sense of its meaning: he thoroughly examined psychic phenomena, meticulously recorded his findings, and then published them. His highly-acclaimed works are still in print today and have become classics. Anyone who is studying psychic and mediumistic phenomena, or trying to discover whether or not life exists after death, should read his works, some of which have been reprinted more than forty times.
Arthur Findlay was an educated free-thinker who was much opposed to orthodox religion because of its narrowness of thought. He hated bigotry, hypocrisy and religious persecution in all their forms, and championed the right of the individual to think for himself. Like Thomas Paine, that great advocate who encouraged people to use their reasoning powers, Findlay was a man before his time. Arthur's home was Stansted Hall in Essex, England, and he bequeathed this Jacobean Mansion to the Spiritualists' National Union - and now the Arthur Findlay College of Psychic Studies is established there.
