Q&A and Who's Who?
Irish Artist/Illustrator, Astral Seer
Sadly, over the years, and at his height of drawing expertize, Doyle began to develop acute headaches. These series of headaches increased to such a level that eventually he would be admitted to a mental institution where he would live the remainder of his days. In 1955, rediscovered in a used book sale, one of Doyle's sketchbooks appeared. Called "The Doyle Diary", the secret life of Doyle and his personal refextions were revealed. The book composed mostly of drawings and comments revealing a person of brilliance, a prisoner of his pain... but also a person that believed vey much in the psychical and supernatural.
Doyle's belief in 'Spirits and Faries' along with drawings that suggested possible distorted Astral/OOBE reflexions while living in the mental institution, may have influenced and inspired his son, Arthur to later research/investigate the existence of the paranormal, psychical, and spiritual.
Regarding "Sherlock Holmes", some of the early illustrations of the detective were drawn by the elder Doyle, using 'himself' as an early model for the psychic-sleuth... leaving open the possibility that a little bit of his wit may have also been used as well.
U.S. Army Chaplin, Jesuit Catholic Priest, Professor of Metaphysics.
In the post war years, Fr. Duffy was given a new Catholic parish called 'Our Saviors' in the South Fordham (Fordham) section of The Bronx, New York, only a few blocks from the Fordham University campus. It was in his parish that Fr. Duffy would befriend his local parish barber, Abraham Moch and his family (see also Moch Family).
Because of his natural, firm but fair personality toward others, Fr. Duffy organized a Catholic group composed mostly of good cleancut catholic young men that lived in and off the Fordham University campus. By way of his influence, some of these men... and well as Alexander Moch, would later be recruted buy way of Fr. Duffy's good friend. William "Wild Bill" Donovan into the newly formed Central Office of Intelligence (COI), created by executive order by President Herbert Hoover, who according to early ESP Participant, George Hall, also had his own personal interests in mental telepathy and parapsycology. Because of the unusual number of known and unknown individuals criscrossing his life in Fordham, and his spiritual/psychical background, it is obvious he did have some personal interests in R&D of early Astral/Remote viewing with the miltary and the Intelligence communty.
