Opis

'Hope Trueblood' is a Victorian-esque drama that one could easily see being transformed into a high-drama film in the spirit of the BBC or 'Masterpiece Theater'. What makes the work compelling is that it is one of a number that were purportedly written by Patience Worth - through Pearl Curran - via psychic channeling. Patience claimed to have been born in 1649, and while never specifically mentioned, is was supposed that she was from Dorsetshire, England. Pearl (Pollard) Curran was born in Mound City, Illinois and was, by most accounts, a fairly ordinary woman with a limited education. Still, something changed within her in 1912 when she began channeling a spirit identifying itself as 'Patience Worth'. These sessions went from the humble beginnings of intimate Ouija board use with a friend, to marathon sessions of verbal channeling with a small audience. While many theories as to what, exactly, happened have been brought to the fore, none seem to satisfy anyone to any significant degree. In the end, we leave it up to you to decide. We encourage you to learn more about this odd series of events and - then - to judge for yourself.
