Dorothy Sherry

The above audio is a portion of a séance from 1978 in which Elvis Presley’s deceased spirit was channeled. The spirit medium, Dorothy Sherry, was not a famous one – rather, it was reported that Sherry was a normal housewife at the time of recording who happened to come into contact with Presley’s spirit on several occasions. As Hans Holzer, a prolific parapsychologist who was following Sherry’s story, writes in his book Elvis Speaks from the Beyond, “Dorothy still couldn’t get used to the idea that it was really [Elvis], and she began to worry about her sanity.”

As a part of the recorded séance, Holzer made inquires to both Sherry and Elvis Presley’s spirit. Also present were Dee Presley, David Stanley, and Dan Schwartz, who were Elvis Presley’s stepmother, stepbrother, and a reporter from the National Inquirer, respectively.

This séance was considered to be one of the more credible communications with the late singer’s spirit thanks to verification from both Dee Presley and David Stanley. Both stated that Sherry revealed several facts they asserted would not have been known by the public.
