Hereward Carrington was a noted British author and investigator of spiritualism. Originally a non-believer, he eventually became convinced that psychic phenomena were real and devoted his life to related study, investigation, and book writing.
In 1916, he wrote a story about a group of devil worshipers, which was made into the fifteen chapter serial The Mysteries of Myra (1916). Carrington served as a consultant on the film, supplying costume and set illustrations, as well as props such as pentagrams.
Harry Houdini and Carrington were rivals in the 1920s in investigations of purported psychic phenomenon sponsored by the Scientific American magazine. Carrington believed in psychic phenomenon, Houdini did not. The most famous case the team investigated was that of Mina Stinson Crandon ("Margery") in 1924.
Carrington's books include "Death: Its Causes and Phenomena" (1912), "Personal Experiences in Spiritualism" (1913), and "Your Psychic Powers and how to Develop Them" (1920).
Carrington's papers are held in the Princeton University's Manuscripts Division.- Terus Kováts was born on 19 April 1897 in Eger, Hungary.
