Margaret "Margo" Williams (February 12, 1922 - December 7, 2009), an English automatist, paranormal investigator and author, based on the Isle of Wight, UK.

Received national and international media attention during the 1970s to 2000s for purported spirit-channelling from a multitude of discarnate individuals; presenting a complex community of supernatural phenomena.[1]

The trend in psychical research generally has moved away from its early focus on life after death, to quantitative analysis of psychic abilities generated in laboratory tests. Margo Williams' work returned to its pioneers' preoccupation – the afterlife. Notoriously difficult to prove to satisfactory scientific standard, since the deceased do not present for lab evaluation or media press events; which is why so-called 'Drop-in Communicator'  evidence is highly-valued and rigorously tested.

Daughter of George Homer Cowley Baron, engineers' draughtsman and Henrietta Emma Baron (nee Hill). Margo grew up in Ashford, Kent and Ewell, Surrey. [citation needed] Margo described experiencing visual neurological anomalies in childhood, observing energy emanations around human bodies – auras - and random irresistible out-of-body events similar to those reported by near-death experiences or NDE survivors. These continued into adulthood. No history of attending spiritualist churches; no expressed connection with Spiritualism.

Aged 14 Margo exited school education in 1936 for employment as office clerk. Aged 16 she took employment as a General Post Office telephonist in London through the 1939 – 45 war. February 1942 aged 19 married 21-years-old research chemist Walter Williams; in 1947 the couple emigrated to South Africa, employed in the fish-oil research industry. Walter worked as a consultant chemical engineer for University of Cape Town; then freelance contractual consultant in the fisheries and food supply markets. [citation needed] Margo worked as laboratory assistant [citation needed]. Discovered a rare skeleton of a bottle-nose dolphin Icthyosaurus fossil on Noordhoek beach 1952, displayed as exhibit in the Iziko South African Museum.

Invited twice to share evidence at Parascience Conferences at the Imperial College of Science in 1977[2] and University College in London in 1978[3] the presentations of samples of automatic writings and researched identifying information earned requests for assessment by the Department of Psychology at Edinburgh University (UK) and Division of Parapsychology at University of Virginia (US) and the editor of Psychic News magazine.

A purported paranormal experience at an Isle of Wight historic building, Appuldurcombe House  set Margo Williams on the course for which most people knew her on the Isle of Wight – paranormal investigator. Margo Williams claimed a 90% success rate in removing ghosts from haunted buildings.

In her later years she founded the Olympian Foundation. [4]
