It always amuses me when I hear people say there are not many TRUE GENUINE Physical Mediums around now. We do not hear of any true genuine Physical Seances happening; yet years ago there were lots. They then add, well there was many Physical Mediums written about.
Stop and think for a minute.
There are hundreds of millions of people on this earth. Now try to name all the TRUE GENUINE Physical Mediums of the past and while you do that; starting at the approximate birth date of the earliest one, think about the hundreds of thousands of millions of people that have passed along the earth plane and gone further to their destinations in the higher life in the world beyond, remember if you only begin to start from the time you are thinking of, look at the reality, the figures, it must be about 100s of millions of ordinary people and about a dozen, give or take a few, Physical Mediums.
Now think about things again.
If you were a Physical Medium and you read about all that went on in times past would you come out and show your gifts to all around you. Would you take a chance of being ridiculed,. Would you take a chance at doing a seance and the chance of being killed by some unscrupulous sceptic who might grab out at the ectoplasm you were producing, or, being given a shock by people who could underhandedly interrupt the seance, so the ectoplasm being produced with the help of Spirit World shoots back into your body at neck breaking speed [as happened to Helen Duncan just before she died]. Wouldn't you keep your gifts hidden from the general population and keep it for the small circle of caring, sincere, understanding people? Well now, tell the truth to yourself.
The percentage of Physical Mediums to the general population still, as far as I can see, remains the same or similar, about point.0000009%, and may be less, of the population as a whole; yes miniscule.
A Physical Medium needs time to develop their gifts by dedicated meditation, many sitting weekly in Circles, some some sitting alone, and for the most of them taking as much as twelve years of constant sitting to achieve any sort of good provable physical phenomena.
Please remember Levitation is not a new phenomena, it has been happening to people from all walks of life throughout the centuries. It is well documented in many religious books, one notable one is the Christian bible. Jesus levitated by walking on the water, this is just one I have picked out because many people know the stories. There are many monks who have been documented in recent times that have levitated also. The Christian church recognized that the phenomena of levitation does happen and have from that day name it “transvection”.
Others in the Christian church are documented to have levitated are St Ignatious Loyola. He had the added gift of being lit up like a luminous object at different times and when he levitated. As is documented so did Donald Dunglas Home but he was pilloried by the Christian church.
In the Christian church it is said that the levitation of others occurs when the levitators are in deep religious prayer. The person goes into what we now call a trance like state.There have been a number of incidences of levitation among both Saints, in the Roman Catholic Church, noteworthy Christians and over 200 Catholic Saints. See the page on levitation where I have placed just a few.
You can as an amateur enquirer have the experience of physical phenomena if you are willing to try with some like minded friends look at the testing of Mediums and have a go yourself; try the way they did it in the past century, read and learn. Yes people who tried to see if raps and moving of furniture by the Spirit World was genuine, and not being performed as a hoax show.
Physical Spirit Formation or Materialisation
Materialisation is a phenomena that the doubters and sceptics will not admit exists, yet it has happened many times in GENUINE seances. The doubter only want to be convinced by seeing it for themselves. They dismiss many photographs: BUT I must admit I can in some way go along with this school of thought because it is so easy to doctor any photograph to convince the amateur photographer and amateur enquirer.
It remains as fact that the Spirit World can with the help of the human catalyst, namely the Mediumistic person, a Physical Medium, produce a human form that can be seen, heard, and with the permission of the Spirit World, touched, a pulse felt, and clothing and/or regalia that is draped around this Spirit form also felt.
There are many such incidents.
I have a book (Phenomena of Materialisation by Baron Von Schrenck Notzing) from the early part of the last century in which has all sorts of photographs of alleged Spirit formations with the Medium Eva C. Probably the Medium did produce Spirits in the physical, but this person, the Baron, in his enthusiasm to let the public know, has for me done the worse damage possible in placing unfolded drawings or the drawn Spirit form to be photographed for his book, they are so false. I was even at a lecture in a place of mediumistic learning and mediumistic teaching that I still hold dear to my heart, Stansted Hall [The Arthur Findlay College]; when a male lecturer [and he is one of the newer of the old school and still there lecturing] was holding up this book to the world as an example of the evidence of the physical production of the Spirits in seances. In my opinion he should have looked a little closer at the photographs themselves, that is if he had ever seen them properly. Perhaps just to have opened the book itself in my opinion would have done enough to convince. I have no doubt what so ever the seances were genuine, but many of the photographs in my opinion are set up for the camera AFTER the real happenings. I now come back to the need for the Spirit World to have infra red cameras in the physical seances as evidence for the outside world.
I have been recorded, with a guests hand held infra red video camera at twelve o clock at night [nothing planned], while sitting around the table in low white light with company socialising, talking about the spirituality of the area and drinking, in the main room Hafan-y-Coed Spiritual Centre, Abercraf, Swansea in South Wales, when my eyes started watering and I was beginning to yawn frequently [about once every few seconds], a sign that the Spirit World wanted to come to use me and I gave permission, I went into an altered state and then they pulled my face outwards away from my bone structure into a contortion [transfiguration] I could not have done myself. I had no ill effect except the manipulation took it out of my body as a whole, as any physical phenomena does, and the link left me drained for a while, I went to bed after and woke up refreshed.
I have proved for myself time and again that infra red video cameras can be used in a physical seance without harming the Medium or the phenomena. This was done with Judith Seaman. I have twice recorded seances in Stansted Hall [Arthur Findlay College], BUT the unfortunate placing of the four infra red video cameras in the main hall by me did not get the photographs I wanted, that was the actual producing of the apports or asporting. Another tutor who was sitting besides Judith inadvertently blocked the view of the actual happening because she wanted to see it first hand herself. [We were holding the physical seance in dull red light]. I am now beginning to believe and becoming more convinced that is only the weak strength Physical Mediums or the pretending Physical Mediums [put kindly, delusional Mediums, perhaps fraudulent Mediums] that do not want infra red video cameras in their blacked out or very low red light seance rooms. Work out what that implies for yourself. BUT and a big BUT, it should be done with the permission of the Spirit World. AND AGAIN WORRYINGLY, BUT, this could be a get out clause for the fakes. "The Spirit World does not want me to use the infra red lights", syndrome. This is where the testing of Mediums who want to go to the public is so necessary. If they do not get tested, that could leave them open to all the allegations of fraud.
In the past the Spirit World allowed still, time lapse, infra red cameras in seances to record what was happening. What is wrong with using them now in the modern form, which is infra red video camera. The optimum word here is RED. Most the top Physical Mediums sat in ordinary RED light why don't the modern day ones do exactly the same and use infra RED light ?
Could it be that these modern day Physical Mediums are frightened to lose the money that most of them get for their seances. The Mediums of old DID NOT CHARGE for their Physical Seances. [I have been to many Physical Seances when I was taking the courses on the physical weeks in Stansted Hall [Arthur Findlay College] and the students were not charged an entrance fee. Lets hope it comes back sometime in the future, so many more people can see the wonders of the Spirit World.
It is exactly the same as the new comers to the Spiritualist movement who have tried to bring us all up to the modern times, tried to bring different things into the seance rooms [using cheap metal chairs instead of wooden ones in churches and seance rooms, read the aids that Spirit and Mediums use sections] without asking the Spirit World about what to do and how to go about it; also saying the Spirit World are now getting things quicker because life is going so fast they have to keep up. DO NOT BELIEVE IT ALL. The Spirit World have NEVER BEEN ASKED AS FAR AS I KNOW. This is new people who have not done their research, or read the books of the last century that the libraries hold in their reference sections, nor have they learnt from the good older teachers at the Spiritual Colleges.

Infra red photograph in a dark room seance.
Medium Jack Webber is seen here in this photograph tied up in the Carver Chair while in a deep trance state, sitting in a Home Physical Circle. Jack's coat is being taken through his body by the Spirit World to eventually be removed completely from the Medium himself. The Spirit Worlds proof that in a truthful, harmonious seance, where the conditions are correct for the Physical Medium, they can pass matter through matter.

Infra red photograph by Leon Isaacs
What should be taken into consideration this seance is taking place in the dark. Notice there are two trusted people either side of the Medium Arnold Clare holding his hand to make sure he does not move out of the chair to manipulate any of the aids that are in the Circle for the use of the Spirit World, like the two trumpets or table, that can be seen in the photograph.
What is going on here in the INFRA RED photograph :- While the Medium is tied to the chair by his legs and arms, from the lapel to skirt, the previously stitched up coat is passed through the Medium's body, illustrating the process of dematerialisation and the passage of matter through matter.

In this darkened locked room seance, the Medium Franek Kluski goes into trance and the Sprit World brings forward a hairy ape-like Spirit Form that sometimes got frisky and became a bit too boisterous in some of the seances, so much so that some of the seances had to be cut short because of some of its antics with the sitters.

An extract from the Camp Silver Belle booklet "A Treatise on
Physical Mediumship" Lena Barnes Jefts
Materialization Extraordinary
by Jay Strong
Ethel Post-Parrish Carried From The Cabinet While In Trance
Five persons touch medium whilst materialized forms are on the floor.
Before a mixed audience of twenty-five people seated in the materialization room
Sunday evening, August 8, 1943, at Camp Silver Belle, Ephrata, Pennsylvania,
Ethel Post Parrish gave an "involuntary test" séance never to be forgotten by
those who witnessed it. It is a great temptation to go "overboard" and adopt
Hollywood superlatives in describing the phenomena presented; however this would
be most distasteful to Mrs. Post Parrish. Therefore, expect only simple, factual
reporting.
She Kept Her Promise
The preliminary addresses by the Rev. Lena Barnes Jefts concluded, the large
light in the centre of the room was extinguished and we found ourselves peering
at those opposite us; the outline of each individual being plainly discernible
by the illumination of the ruby-coloured light hanging in the corner of the
room. After a verse and a chorus of one hymn, Silver Belle came from out of the
cabinet. In her best terpsichorian manner, she greeted old friends by their
first names, introducing herself to newcomers as the Medium's Guide and cabinet
worker.
"I am going to work hard tonight and try to get as many of your loved ones
through as possible. Just be patient, won't you?" And with her infectious
tinkling laugh, Silver Belle returned to the cabinet.
Silver Belle kept her promise—she did work hard. Singularly five spirits came
in, greeted their relatives and disappeared. Among them was my own mother who
addressed herself to my wife and me. She referred to my wife's health and
assured her of a complete recovery from a recent illness and then discussed at
length a new venture that I am undertaking.
TWO Figures Emerge!
Silver Belle then called out from within the cabinet, "Mi'lena" which is a pet
name she has for Mrs. Jefts. Acknowledging the call, Mrs. Jefts said, "Yes,
dear, what is it?" "Mi'lena, I said I was going to work hard tonight", Silver
Belle continued, "And I am going to do something with my Medium I have never
done before." "What do you mean, dear?" There was a dubious tone in Mrs. Jefts'
voice. "My grandfather is here tonight and he is going to materialize for you
and I am going to have him take the Medium out of the cabinet so you all can see
her in trance, and then I want some people to come into the cabinet to prove it
is really empty.
It has been my privilege to know Mrs. Jefts for several years and I have, always
regarded her as a cool and poised person, but upon hearing this she did not
attempt to conceal the agitation in her voice knowing that one false move might
mean harm to her dearest friend. Everyone present was warned not to touch either
Chief Baconrind, the Spirit Grandfather of Silver Belle or her Medium. Silver
Belle preceded her grandfather and held the curtain on the left open while the
two figures emerged!
Julian Ortez—A Witness
Chief Baconrind, standing at least six feet three, supported the entranced body
of Ethel Post-Parrish. Slowly very slowly—the Chief took the first step outside
of the cabinet. The Medium's right arm hung out rigidly from her body and as the
two figures proceeded toward the centre of the room, it reminded one of a
puppeteer carrying a life-sized marionette whose strings had been broken. The
locomotion of the Medium as she was led to the centre of the room appeared to be
that of an automaton. a faint glow from the ruby lamp being used
during the seance, cast a strange pallor on
Mrs. Parrish's face. The phenomenon was magnificent.
Silver Belle waited for the figures to stop and then called some of the
spectators into the cabinet—Five responded, including Mr. and Mrs. Max Klauser,
Scarsdale, New York; Dr. Julian Ortez, Wilmington, Delaware; Emily Fritch,
Reading, Pennsylvania; and Wynn Ellis of New York City. After these people
returned to their chairs, Chief Baconrind guided the inert Medium back to her
cabinet. As the curtains closed on these three principals of the scene, there
was an audible sigh of relief from the sitters.
Under TEST Conditions
To break the tension, Silver Belle laughed from within the cabinet and asked,
"How am I doing?" In rapid succession, the following phenomena occurred: Ella
Carter and a Dr. Baker, both in Spirit, materialized for Joseph Graham, Bryn
Mawr, Pennsylvania. These two held the floor simultaneously and for several
minutes talked to Mr. Graham. Ella Carter moved from the centre of the room to
her right and stopped a few feet away from me. I could see that she was a very
beautiful spirit. Pointing in our direction, she asked, "Will you two gentlemen
go and verify that the Medium is in the cabinet?" Dr. Ortez and I did. Ella
Carter reached the cabinet before us and pulled aside one of the curtains to let
us enter. Dr. Ortez entered first and then myself. "Put your hand on the
Medium's head," the Spirit directed me. As I did, I could feel the moisture of
perspiration on her hair caused by the heat in the tiny cabinet.
A Trifle Wobbly
I withdrew from the cabinet and starting back to my chair I was not surprised to
find my knees a trifle wobbly. During the entire period of verification, Ella
Carter remained at the curtain while Dr. Baker and Joseph Graham remained
standing in full view of the rest of the sitters.
It was obvious we were all more than satisfied with the demonstration—that is
all but Silver Belle she knew she had her audience on the edge of their chairs
and she was determined to keep them there as long as her Medium had the strength
to remain in trance without injuring herself.
Mr. and Mrs. Max Klauser of Scarsdale, New York, were greeted by Mr. Klauser's
sister, Martha, as she materialized and stepped through the curtains. A moment
after the first greeting—and with Martha standing in the room talking to the
Klausers, a verbal barrage emanated from the cabinet, much to everyone's
amusement. The voice identified itself as "Senta", Mrs. Klauser's daughter. This
was indeed an unusual and happy family reunion.
Three Spirits Materialize
The next episode was the youthful son of one of the sitters whistling a tune in
the cabinet for his mother while Mr. and Mrs. Raphael Rice stood in the centre
of the room talking to the materialized Spirit of Mr. Rice's mother.
In conclusion, Silver Belle brought out three Spirit forms: the mother, father,
and grandfather of Mrs. Emily Fritch of Reading, Pennsylvania. These three
materialized Spirits walked from the cabinet to the front of the room passing
Mrs. Fritch who remained by her chair near the other end of the room. Then they
returned to her and the four conversed together for a few minutes. The three
Spirits returned to the cabinet; the two men preceding Mrs. Fritch's mother who
turned just before entering the cabinet to say a final "Goodbye".
Silver Belle, a moment later called out wearily, "I'm tired—I just can't get
another one out." It may be interesting to many to know that for nearly thirty
minutes after the séance, Mrs. Post-Parrish felt that she was still partly in
trance. I took her pulse almost immediately following the séance and while I did
not tell her at the time, it was definitely slow and laboured. This was the only
physical reaction that registered.
None of us in that group who witnessed this astounding phenomena dare hope for
an early repetition by Ethel Post-Parrish and her co-worker, Silver Belle. Such
séances are rare, indeed. See the photographs of one
such seance on page 6 click here.
