John Myers

John Myers (died 1972) was a British dentist and spiritualist medium.

Career

Myers worked as a dentist in London and took up spirit photography in the 1930s. He claimed to communicate with an American Indian spirit guide called "Blackfoot". The psychical researcher Simeon Edmunds wrote that Myers "was detected in fraud by Lord Donegall, whose report, published in the Sunday Dispatch, brought the career of the medium-photographer to an abrupt conclusion."

The spiritualist Maurice Barbanell, editor of Psychic News, defended Myers in a book and considered his phenomena to be genuine.

Criticism of Barbanell and Myers can be found in Simeon Edmunds (1966).
