Redcar

Mrs June of Marske-by-Sea, near Redcar, Yorkshire, a mature woman with a 10-year-old son, became obsessed with the ouija, which in turn led to automatic writing, the communicating entity being 'a long-dead spirit called Leonardo'.

Dead he may have been, but he still knew how to write a good love-letter, and he even claimed to want a child by Mrs June. A few weeks after the automatic writing began, Mrs June saw a floating shadow in the bedroom; then she felt the bedclothes move. Leonardo had arrived and was, it seems, furious to discover she was taking the contraceptive pill.

This doesn't seem to have dampened lusty Leonardo's enthusiasm though. Mrs June is quoted: 'I would feel his presence, even his strength of feeling when he wanted to make love. He was a competent lover and must have been on earth. But human love is more satisfying. With spiritual love, there is no warmth of flesh.'
