Richard Morris (biographer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Morris (born May 20, 1964 near Kingsthorpe, Northamptonshire) is the third writer to have written a biography of the British psychic researcher Harry Price.

In the few weeks that 'Harry Price: The Psychic Detective' has been available it is quite clear people are still fascinated by Price and his extraordinary life, some 59 years after his death. My book about Price has been written from original source material in his archive at the University of London, papers and documents held at the College of Psychic Science (formerly the London Spiritualist Alliance) and archives held by the ASPR and SPR. It varies sharply from other biographies about him. And for good reason since the book presents him as he was and sketches in previously unknown details about his life. His connection with Hitler is clearer and without a doubt, had the madness of the Second World War not intervened, Price would have become Hitler's psychic spin master, a role the Fuhrer once promised his Jewish seer, Hanussen, before the SA murdered him. The book also tells the truth about Price's investigation into Borley Rectory. A letter Price wrote to the theologian Sir Arnold Lunn exposes the investigation for what it was. A palpable hoax.
