Margaret "Margo" Mary Williams (February 12, 1922 - December 7, 2009), an English automatist, paranormal investigator and author, based on the Isle of Wight, UK received national and international media attention during the 1970s to 2000s for purported spirit-channelling from a multitude of discarnate individuals; presenting a complex community of supernatural phenomena.[1]
The trend in psychical research generally has moved away from its early focus on life after death, to quantitative analysis of psychic abilities generated in laboratory tests. Margo Williams' work returned to its pioneers' preoccupation – the afterlife. Notoriously difficult to prove to satisfactory scientific standard, since the deceased do not present for lab evaluation or media press events; which is why so-called 'Drop-in Communicator'[2] evidence is highly-valued and rigorously tested.
Invited twice to share evidence at Parascience Conferences at the Imperial College of Science in 1977[3] and University College in London in 1978[4] the presentations of samples of automatic writings and researched identifying information earned requests for assessment by the Department of Psychology at Edinburgh University (UK) and Division of Parapsychology at University of Virginia (US) and the editor of Psychic News magazine.
In her later years she founded the Olympian Foundation,[5] exploring humanity's connections with other forms of consciousness – its ancient deities.
