Duncan’s activities attracted the attention of the authorities and on 19 January 1944, one of her séances was interrupted by a police raid during which she and three members of her audience were arrested.
Duncan was remanded in custody by Portsmouth magistrates. During her séance, she spoke to a sailor’s spirit. He claimed to have lost his life as a consequence of his battleship, HMS Barham, being torpedoed. Considered a threat to security, the medium was arrested, and sent to trial.
Inevitably, there was an effort to dismiss Duncan as a fraudster. However, in her court case, she was denied a request to demonstrate her psychic powers.
WE WELCOME READERS’ COMMENTS ON OUR STORIES
It was claimed the spiritualist had her HMS Barham sailor revelation in November 1941 after the news of its sinking, with the loss of 841 officers and ratings, was released.
This is not true. Only relatives were informed of the disaster many weeks after the battleship’s sinking. They would not have been informed of the manner in which the ship had been sunk. Helen Duncan was the last person in Britain to be found guilty of witchcraft. She was gaoled nine months. PLEASE SHARE OUR STORIES ON SOCIAL MEDIA

“The Pleiades, the Flood, and the Jewish New Year,”
In her fascinating scholarly essay, “The Pleiades, the Flood, and the Jewish New Year,” Dr. Ellen Robbins, a lecturer at the Johns Hopkins University, details how this ancient calendrical thinking factored into the interpretation of the Flood story—including its preamble about the sons of God and the Nephilim.[vi]

It falls at a dark time of year
For us in the Northern Hemisphere, Halloween is the darkest of the cross-quarter days. And it comes at a time of year when the days are growing shorter. Early people once said that the spirits of the dead wander from sunset until midnight around this cross-quarter day. After midnight – on November 1, now called All Saints’ Day – the ghosts supposedly go back to rest.
The October 31 date for Halloween is fixed by tradition. The true cross-quarter day falls on November 7, representing a discrepancy of about a week. According to the ancient Celts, a cross-quarter day marks the beginning – not the middle – of a season.
The Pleiades connection
Some believe that the early forebear of Halloween – Samhain – happened on the night that the Pleiades star cluster culminated at midnight…………

Today Judy Byington had this to say:
· Was this War on Israel planned and timed?
Might have been since Israel’s 1948 Registration as a Corporation would no longer be in effect as of Tues. 31 Oct. 2023. (Halloween)
. . . · Israel was created free in 1948 but their contract as an independent sovereign nation expires the end of October 2023.

The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares
24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”
