First published in 1974, it immediately made headlines, as its subject was able to produce examples of most of the types of psychic phenomena known to researchers, including metal-bending (which earned him the title ‘England’s answer to Uri Geller’), major poltergeist activity both at home at at school (which almost got him expelled), automatic writing, remarkable psychic drawings and paintings, accurate medical diagnoses purporting to come from a long-dead doctor who called himself William Penn, and precognition.

In The Link Matthew Manning, now a famous healer, describes his first prychic experiences and how his powers developed, from the terrifying outbursts of poltergeist activity at school and the hysteria it produced among his fellow pupils and their parents, through his discovery and use of automatic writing to channel his remarkable energies to more creative work – the medical diagnoses, the psychic pictures, and his metal-bending – to his collaboration with some of the world’s leading scientists, including a Nobel laureate in Physics, and major figures in the field of parapsychology.

It is a fascinating and at times almost unbelievable story, for everyone interested in parapsychology and the worlds unseen.
