Difference between revisions of "Sybil Leek"

'''Sybil Leek''' (née Fawcett; 22 February 1917 – 26 October 1982) was an English [[witch]], [[astrology|astrologer]], [[occult]] author and self-proclaimed psychic. She wrote many books on occult and esoteric subjects, and was dubbed "Britain's most famous witch" by the BBC.

When Leek moved to America, she became an astrologer, describing astrology as her "first love." In April 1964, an American publishing house wanted Sybil to speak about her new book ''A Shop in the High Street'', and she was invited to appear on ''To Tell the Truth'', a TV programme in the States; her appearance occurred on 13 April 1964. She took the opportunity to go, and flew to New York City, where she gave many interviews. While in New York, she was contacted by Hans Holzer, a parapsychologist, who invited her to join him investigating hauntings and psychic phenomena. They went on to do numerous TV and radio programmes on the subject.
