The Strange Case of
Carlos Mirabelli (1889-1951)
Carlos Mirabelli was the greatest psychic medium of all time.
For forty years in Brazil, he did things that no one could explain.
He did them in broad daylight…
Before hundreds of people…
The events were often photographed and filmed…
In some cases up to 60 witnesses were present. These included 72 doctors, 12 engineers, 36 lawyers, and 25 military men.
The President of Brazil once witnessed Mirabelli, and immediately ordered an investigation.
Mirabelli could levitate six feet into the air.
He once levitated in Da Luz and appeared in São Vicenti — a distance of 57 miles in two minutes.
With an eighth grade education and no language training, he wrote in Japanese, Russian, Turkish, Mandarin Chinese, Sanskrit, Latin, Sumerian, Chaldaic, Hieroglyphic, Syrian, Hebrew, German, English, Portuguese, Spanish, French…over thirty different languages, two of which no longer exist.

Mirabelli could also materialize dead people.
He did it dozens of times before hundreds of witnesses.
One time his dead father showed up.

Another time the poet Giuseppe Parini arrived, and spoke with everyone.

The ninth century ruler of the Arab empire paid a visit.
The phantom Harun al Raschid
The daughter of a medical doctor, Dr. Ganymede de Souza, once appeared for 36 minutes. She had died of influenza a few months earlier.
She appeared in her grave clothes.
Her pulse was tested.
Father and child spoke together. Father and child were photographed.
Then the phantom raised itself and floated away in the air.
Another time they stripped Mirabelli to his underwear and lashed him to a chair.
They locked every door and window.
Mirabelli went into a trance…then he dissolved and re-materialized, instantaneously, over 100 feet away, in another locked room.
He died in a car crash on April 30, 1951 and was buried the very next day – a humble grave – number 155, block 27, at the São Paulo Cemetery.
Mirabelli’s modest grave
The speedy burial seems suspicious.
Maybe the CIA or KGB made a Cold War offer he couldn’t refuse.
Who knows.
But Carlos Mirabelli was, without a doubt, the greatest and most terrifying medium who ever lived.
