Ann Harrison was born in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. After attending the High School for Girls, she trained as a Pharmaceutical Assistant with Boots the Chemists. The traumatic loss of her fiancé led to a career change. She studied to become a teacher and worked for some years in a Primary School. 

After her first husband passed in 1990, he returned in spirit to a friend of his sister. Ann was excited and couldn’t wait to make contact. Over the next two months, she not only contacted her husband, she became a Spiritualist. She was accepted into a little church in Hull and began a course of study with Mavis Pitilla at the Arthur Findlay College.

Ann developed clairvoyance and clairsentience abilities. She created spirit-inspired verses which she read during Spiritualist services. Beginning in 1993, she worked as a platform medium with a friend. They took turns speaking about the philosophy of Spiritualism and demonstrating the survival of the soul at local churches, sometimes traveling over 30 miles.

Ann’s involvement with the Spiritualist community led to her meeting her second husband, Tom Harrison in 1993. Tom had been involved with Spiritualism since he was three years old when he heard his uncle speaking in trance. His mother was Minnie Bessant Harrison, trance medium and member of the Saturday Night Club, a séance group. After returning from the war, Tom spent 8-9 years assisting his mother, witnessing over 1500 materialised forms and welcoming over 200 visitors to their circle.

Impressed by all that Tom had experienced with his mother, Ann assisted him as he spread the news of what he witnessed. Between 1994 – 98, they travelled widely in the UK. Ann did little mediumistic work, but they sometimes did private sittings.

Ann and Tom regularly sat in the home circle of a family in West Yorkshire.  They produced a variety of phenomena, including table movement, telekinesis, apports, trance speaking and direct voice. Ann was known as the Alphabet Lady. She would call out the letters, the table jerking to select the one it wanted, until a message was spelled out. Later, a wooden spoon marked with a luminous spot on the tip of the bowl replaced the table. It would float in the air and would dip in front of her when the correct letter was stated.

After moving to Spain in 2000, Ann worked at several centres, especially the Acacia Centre near Murcia. She also taught workshops, conducted presentations, and led Sunday services at times. In 2005, they published an account of Tom’s life and his mother’s mediumship and founded the publishing house, Saturday Night Press Publications. Tom passed in 2010. To date, Ann has published 40 titles, most on Physical Mediumship.

Ann writes, “I love my work as I know what a difference the knowledge that we live on forever made to me and so many. Death is not the end but an opening to a wonderful eternal life in a much better place – how much better depends on the loving life you have lived here.”
