Mark is the son of Richard Ireland, a renowned twentieth-century psychic-medium who counseled celebrities such as Mae West, Glenn Ford, Amanda Blake, and who was acquainted with the Eisenhower family. Mark is also the author of Soul Shift: Finding Where the Dead Go, a moving account of his personal quest for answers about life after death—subsequent to the passing of his youngest son. Mark’s most recent book, Messages from the Afterlife, takes a deeper look at psychic-medium phenomena—endeavoring to educate readers about this field and other forms of afterlife evidence.
Mark is well versed in psychic phenomena and mediumship and he has conducted independent investigations, assisted by Tricia Robertson of the Scottish Society for Psychical Research and Neuroscientist Dr. Don Watson. He also participated mediumship research studies conducted by scholars, serving as a test sitter in controlled experiments at the University of Arizona and the University of Virginia.
In 2011, Mark published Your Psychic Potential: A Guide to Psychic Development, authored by his father in the 1970’s, but never released during Richard Ireland’s lifetime.
Mark holds a Bachelor’s degree from Arizona State University
