Down at the bottom end of Northumberland Road used to be the location of the Spiritualist Church. The listed building was recently converted into student flats.
The wooden sign indicating the nature of the building has long since gone. And one of the people I knew that used to frequent the place has long since gone too. She was the mother of a mate of mine, and she used to tell us tales of the goings on on some of her visits to the Spiritualist Church there.
One of her neighbours was a regular there too. He used to do the routine of contacting the spirit world and being a channel for souls that have passed over to the other side to contact their still extant loved ones. Apparently he had been very successful at this for many years.
However...
On one occasion he proceeded to regale the audience, while in trance-like state, with tales of the ancient world. He then informed them that he was Christ reborn and that they should follow him. This got him the boot from the Spiritualists. He was later discovered to have moved in with a white witch.
If Spiritualism is your thing and you consider this to be the best way of proving your belief in life after death then you can go and tickle your chakras at the Spiritualist Church on Whitham Road in Broomhill.
I won't be doing that.
