Arthur Ford was a trans medium who described a large number of reliable materials about the existence of human personality after death, known to psychic researchers in the 20th century. Arthur Ford's lectures and his demonstrations of psychic phenomena took place all over the world. He was a co-founder of the Brotherhood of Spiritual Boundaries, a nationwide fellowship for the study of the psychic and mysterious aspects of life. Ford has made two front-page appearances around the world: as a medium who delivered the postmortem coded message promised by magician Harry Houdini in the 1920s, and as a medium who delivered a credible message from Bishop James Pike's son in 1967.
