Margery Jolley, spiritualist, psychic and Wigan mother of four, tells of her ability to see around the corner into the future, of the sometimes good, sometimes terrifying consequences of this gift and of the many extraordinary characters she has come across, both in this world and the one beyond. The mysterious young soldier who comes to pay his respects at the local war memorial, the power of a possessive sister, the dire warning of the broken picture glass, the case of the severed artery and the ominous Black Presence...just a few of the tales told by Jolley in her account of a life spent coming to terms with her powers as a spiritualist and psychic. Homely, wise and down-to-earth, she tells of her visitations and dreams, prophecies and prognostications with humour and conviction.
