maryportfuncity 10,757 Posted Wednesday at 10:34 Alan Gauld, just seen the news posted online. Round up of his work below. It's always tempting to say when you're discussing the death of someone involved in pyschical research that they may now know more of the answers to questions they were asking whilst alive! https://psi-encyclopedia.spr.ac.uk/articles/alan-gauld?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0l-5bT2KlVIgPM-qxpVOd4ZMq3f4S7nFwgZ_PnHdIt835vmzC4BpfDB_A_aem_oAvR13lx27nA2c-AUStfng Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This stems from an Instagram post put on 12 hours ago, so if true I’d say it was 2024 as opposed to 2025. Picked in some 2025 pools though. The Instagram post in question was from her own account but has since been deleted. Her partner put on a matching post, also since deleted. Wow, dramatic..

In most cases when a woman is under the age of ~98, I'm inclined to believe the earlier date. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's time to let her go, Creepy. Not sure what pool she's even eligible for; if you can find one, Ruth langsford mother is honest-to-God a better pick than Gabrielle D'Allonches. One single mention of her health in the Mail almost 7 years ago, and the rest of the search results are fucking you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surprise Demise 94 Posted Thursday at 07:39 Slightly amused by the fact Lloyd Klein's Wikipedia page lists his birth date as simply "20th century". Exceedingly informative. I don't think her mother-in-law's name is Gabrielle D'Allonches. Quite literally the only other attestation of the surname D'Allonches I can find is a marriage testimony from 1225 AD. Jocelyn and her ilk may have understated their ages - but I don't think her mother-in-law's quite that old! I think what's happened here is just another example of the Mail's impeccable exclusive details turning out to be bullshit. As such, I'm not exactly willing to believe any other details reported about her, though as Clorox said Ruth Langsford's mum has had sneezes with a bigger online footprint than her, so I'd say there's no point expecting her to receive a sizable obit of any form in the off chance that the Mail hasn't pulled things out of their ass. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
