Harold Sherman
World Renowned Psychic Researcher and Author
Harold Morrow Sherman (1898-1987) was born July 13, 1898 in Traverse City, Michigan. Graduating in 1916 from Traverse City High School, he attended the University of Michigan until his career there was terminated by World War I. He married Martha Bain, also of Traverse City, on September 26, 1920. Shortly afterwards he launched a writing career that took him to Chicago and eventually New York, Hollywood, Chicago and finally to Arkansas.
He wrote numerous books and magazine articles on a variety of subjects ranging from sports stories for boys to self-help books, and books dealing with psychic phenomena and ESP. He also wrote many plays, some of which were produced on Broadway.
An energetic person, Harold Sherman was interested in local, state and national politics and was avidly interested in world affairs. These interests and activities, however, did not prevent his involvement in helping individuals from throughout the world. Volumes of correspondence came from those in distress from all stations of life, and each letter was thoughtfully answered.
He continued to write in his little home near Mountain View almost until his death on August 19, 1987 at age 89.
