Leslie Flint
Leslie Flint (1911–1994)〔Alexander Walker. (10 May 1994). ''Obituary: Leslie Flint''. The Independent. p. 16.〕 was a British medium who is credited as having been one of the last psychics to use direct-voice mediumship.〔〔Graeme Smith. (22 May 2004). ''The medium taped some messages; Voices from beyond the grave come to rest in Manitoba''. The Globe and Mail. pp. A11.〕 He has been described by spiritualists as the most renowned psychic of the 20th century.〔 However, skeptics who have studied the mediumship of Flint believe he was fraudulent.〔Melvin Harris.
