Mrs Alexander Medium
During the time I was
sitting with the Jonsons I met at my hotel one of the Vice-Presidents of the
Society for Psychical Research, who informed me that two members of the
Council had actually become convinced, through the mediumship of Eusapia
Palladino, that the phenomena of telekinesis and materialisation were true !
I hope I received this solemn announcement with the respect and gravity so
momentous a statement demanded.
On the morning of January 13, during my first visit
to Toledo, my friend Mr. Z. made an appointment with a Mrs Alexander, 719
Superior Street, Toledo, for two people (himself and another) to visit her
at 3 p.m. He did not give his own name, nor mine. At 2:30 he kindly called
for me in his brougham. Mr. Yaryan was with me when he arrived. Between us
we persuaded Mr. Yaryan to put off an engagement and accompany us to this
new Medium. We got to the house at 2:45, and sat from 3 to 5pm.
(64) It must be clearly understood that Mrs
Alexander had never set eyes on two of us, and only once, for a few moments,
had she seen Mr. Z. She was ignorant of our names. Great was our
astonishment, therefore, when Viola and Kitty etherialised and said in a low
voice, "Uncle Yaryan." Tim also came from Jonson’s cabinet, and spoke
through the trumpet. The seance was held in pitch darkness, and we were led
to expect etherialisations.
Including re-appearances of the same persons, there
were about twenty-five forms seen. The cabinet consisted of a small chamber,
which opened into the room where we sat. The psychic sat outside---i.e., in
our room. What the use of this cabinet was I could not discover ; perhaps,
being a smaller room, it was easier to conserve the power.
About fifteen minutes after we sat down in our easy
chairs faintly illuminated forms began to appear. They were, as a rule,
phantasmal and unsatisfactory ; but they spoke through the trumpet, and
occasionally without it. The interest of this sitting lay in one or two
incidents illustrative of the difficulty of establishing identity when the
sitter and spirit are both very eager to communicate, and the supernormal
knowledge displayed through a medium to whom her visitors were complete
strangers.
I have already alluded to the visits of certain
habitues of Jonson’s cabinet, Who greeted Mr. Yaryan by his name (an unusual
one, we must admit). A woman with a baby in her arms came to Mr. Yaryan. The
latter put his hand upon what seemed to him the head of the infant. He could
not, at first, recall any friend or acquaintance who had died in
child-birth, or under circumstances which demanded a knowledge conveying an
association of a mother and her newly-born child. Later, however, he
remembered a lady who died, just before her confinement, of disease in the
stomach, and whom it was the privilege of Mrs. Yaryan to help materially in
some neighborly way. A man also came to him. He had a strong feeling of
intuition as to the identity, but demanded his name. No answer. Again the
question was asked, "What is your name?" The phantom gasped out, "Can’t give
it now." Our attention was then diverted by other phantasms, and the anxiety
for the name was in abeyance. Nearly half an hour elapsed, when suddenly
there was a hoarse shout from the ceiling of the room, "I’m Lee." This was
the name of Mr. Yaryan’s deceased brother, whose form he thought he had
seen. The Medium also gave a description of the Spirit, which tallied with
his appearance in earth-life.
I have not been able to account, normally, for this
incident. It was impossible that Mrs. Alexander could have known Mr. Yaryan
or his brother. The anxiety of the brothers to communicate caused a positive
condition at first, and prevented the spirit from answering the question.
When Mr. Yaryan became passive, merely attending to other sitters’ concerns,
his brother gathered sufficient power to pronounce his own Christian name.
Throughout this volume other instances of this paralysis on the part of the
spirits are recorded, from the same cause. So often has it happened in my
investigations in England and America that I now accept the following as a
law:
94
Identity is never revealed at a time when both
sitter and Spirit are eager to communicate. One, at any rate, must be in a
passive condition.During this seance Iola and my mother made themselves
known ; they came together once, and separately several times, communicating
by whispers. Iola brought some narcissi ; the pungent perfume was distinctly
smelt in the room.
Towards the end of the seance Mrs. Alexander’s
familiar spirit, "Whitesnow," took control. I shall not easily forget the
inimitable chuckle of this little Indian maiden. One of the last things she
said was, "I hope I am not going to make this house hot for my Medium."
Q: "What do you mean, Whitesnow?"
A: "Well, I guess you make houses hot ; but we no
want you heat this house." I can only presume that this was an allusion to
one of the many inventions of Mr. Yaryan, who has been the means of heating
some twenty-five cities in the United States by the central system.
Both the American Gentlemen remarked with emphasis upon the decided difference of accent in the utterances of the American and English Spirits. I have noticed elsewhere this curious fact ; it is good evidence of the genuineness of the proceedings. I do not pause to inquire which is the purer English---that spoken in Ohio and Michigan, or that spoken in the south of England. Sufficient for me that it is widely different ; for the purpose I had in view it was highly significant and useful.
