The Mystery Of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Message From Beyond The Grave

I was doing some research about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, most famous as being the creator of Sherlock Holmes.

He became interested in spiritualism following the deaths of his first wife, son Kingsley, his brother Innes and two brother-in-laws. As with many people who have lost loved ones he started to search for answers and the proof of existence beyond the grave.

At times Sir Arthur seems to have been led astray by such things as the Cottingley Fairies photographs (right) but nevertheless came to believe that life did continue after death.

I came across the following release from The Associated Press after Sir Arthur’s memorial service in July of 1930. The mystery is, as to whether his wife received a message from him following his death. Lady Doyle claimed she did :

It’s interesting that at the memorial service a chair was left reserved for Sir Arthur’s spirit. It’s reported that his eldest daughter, Mary. was seated two chairs away from the ‘empty chair’.

I wonder what the cheerful and encouraging message was to Sir Arthur’s wife – oh, and could it have been genuine, whatever it was?
