Arthur Ford and Moon

Arthur Ford was a popular “spiritual medium” who claimed to be under the control of a French-Canadian spirit being named Fletcher. (This blog already sounds pretty legitimate, right?) On April 21, 1965, while Moon was cruising through Virginia… it was decided that he’d meet up with Arthur Ford and his spirit-tumor pal, Fletcher.

Ford and Moon met with several early disciples and aides nearby. Ford went on to do a seance and called up Fletcher. Fletcher had supposedly said such things as,”Give him your whole support…” and “He is an instrument whom God is revealing himself”. He even went on to say other about Moon, such as,”In his time and in his place he is one of those chosen, as men have always been chosen, to be a revelator… The Spirit of Truth speaks through him. The Spirit of Truth will speak through the humblest one, here or anywhere who is willing to listen.” Things like this may prove to members that Moon is indeed the messiah for a man of another faith stated that Father is an agent of God and was revealed such through Spirit World, but who exactly was Ford and are his psychic works to be trusted?

Ford had attempted to convince Mrs. Houdini that he had the secret code which Houdini and her discussed before his passing. Mrs. Houdini invited Ford to do a seance and indeed said the right things and surprised Mrs. Houdini. Little did she know that the code was already publicized in a book a year before. Before that mess, he claimed that Houdini’s mother spoke through Fletcher and said the word “forgive”, a word Houdini desired to hear from his mother his whole life. This stunned several people until it was realized that this information was carried through newspapers before Houdini’s seance.

So, it could be coincidence and maybe the Spirit World did speak through Ford. But he had files on dozens of his clients of information he had before meeting them. He would tell them obscure facts about their life which he found while investigating. It seems like Ford just told people what they wanted. Even a crazy Korean anti-Christ.
