Leaf, Horace (ca. 1886-1971)
Well-known British lecturer and author in the cause of Spiritualism and psychic research. His own psychic abilities included clairvoyance, psychometry, and healing. Leaf traveled extensively, meeting most of the important mediums in North America and regularly contributing articles to such Spiritualist journals as Light.
He was well known to the pioneer Spiritualist James Hewat McKenzie, whom he met at the beginning of the twentieth century while a member of a debating society in North London, which discussed philosophical, political, social, and religious topics. Soon after McKenzie established the British College of Psychic Science in London, Leaf became a staff lecturer on psychology and the development of mediumship.
