Chapter: Opinions and session reports from national and international professors

Page 115: “Then the medium asked that a light panel be put on the table. A big, square and highly fluorescent screen was placed on the table, then shortly after, the table rose as a whole. It did this in an elegant and even movement until it reached 1 ½ metres in height, stayed there for at least 10 seconds, rocking slightly, then slowly sank back to earth, only to rise once again. But when sinking back it was eventually knocked over and rolled in front of my feet. Immediately I put it back in its place and thereby noticed that the table was quite heavy.”

Experiments in psychical science, levitation, contact and the direct voice, Autor: Prof. Dr. William Jackson Crawford, Verlag: Reprints from the collection of the University of Michigan Library 2014

Chapter: Introductory
Page 5: “I have seen hundreds of levitations under all conditions; standard levitations such as that mentioned above, abnormal levitations (such as where a stool rose four feet into the air and moved gently up and down for several minutes while we all examined it closely and while the medium was seated on a weighing machine) and freak levitations (such as where the table, being levitated, rocked in the air just like a small boat tossed about on a choppy sea). I have seen the table turn completely round in the air, and I have seen it levitated upside down and sideways.”

Chapter: Butlerow and Crookes on Home
Page 314: „One of the strangest features, which I had seen, was the collection of a glass bottle filled with water and a glass. Homes of hands were far and the room were well lit by two large flames. The bottle and the glass floated over the table, by clash together answered it to questions (3 impacts meant). They floated so for instance 5 minutes of 15-20 cm highly, them went before everyone to the present one and answered its questions (3 impacts meant). They floated so for instance 5 minutes of 15-20 cm highly, them went before everyone to the present one and answered its questions. “

Book: Thoughtography – The PSI photo-images of Ted Serios

Introduction of PK collection: Ted Serios was able to project photos onto a Polaroid film by thinking of them. In the process, the camera of a person was set up at a distance of approx. 60 cm, pointing towards his face and triggered by his command. When the resulting image was negative, only his face could be seen on the photos. But when it was positive, so-called “blackies” and “whities” appeared and in an ideal case, different pictures, like the one described below, could be seen.

Chapter: Pressing on

Page 54: “Again Ted tried to get positive results. At 11:10 p.m. he told us, that he was going to concentrate on Westminster Abbey again. This time he asked us to get a magazine, in an envelope, from the drawer and to hold it up in front of him. Because the flash failed during this photographie (3-9) only a blackie could be seen. Ted rested for a few minutes. He removed his socks and started to complain about headaches but he was not prepared to give up, as he had the feeling that he still could achieve something. The magazine was put back in the drawer.

Suddenly a scream came from the kitchen. Man, this is a building! Don’t you see that? – Look at it from a different angle. John entered from the kitchen with a photo from the images 4-5 which was dry now. Suddenly we could all see that it actually was a building. But I could see even more. I shouted – one moment -, opened my desk again and took out the envelope with the photograph of Westminster Abbey. I picked up the magazine a little awkwardly and opened the relevant page. I held up the magazine so that everyone could see the picture (image 9). Ted’s photograph matched a part of the Abbey’s belfry perfectly (image 10).

Was ich gesehen habe – Eigene Forschungen auf dem gelichteten Gebiet der weniger bekannten menschlichen Fähigkeiten, Autor: Prof. Dr. Markus Tullius Falcomer, Verlag: Oswald Mutze, Leipzig 1901

Chapter: Report on the sessions – the first session.

Page 10+11: “In the process, we touched the table surface only with the tips of our fingers. In order to allow the table to rise completely, we stood on the chairs, that is to say, the armchairs, and the table raised itself three metres above the floor. Immediately I switched on the light and grabbed the table in the air. But this was easier said than done, because the table seemed to be alive and resisted being held, with all its might. In fact, I had to use all my strength to avoid being flung into a corner of the room. We were able to witness this levitation about thirty times, also observed in the light, and it always rose to the same height. At one time it fell to the floor with a tremendous noise but then it complied to our wishes and lowered itself quietly and slowly. The strangest thing to us was that the table turned in the air as if it was being rotated on a spindle. One had the feeling that some invisible force had taken hold of the middle of the table and was turning it.”

Chapter: Effect on liveless articles by Eusapia Paladino
Page 60: „To the facts, which I can confirm in agreement with earlier perceptions 4 years ago in Paris in the two meetings with you (Dr. Schrenck-Notzing) than absolutely surely, 2 levitations of the table belong; with the one Eusapia had put the two hands on my, at the corner of the table floating in air. At the same time I could see that the legs Eusapias affected the table to no points. An invisible strength held the table in the abeyance, despite the substantial pressure, which the hands Eusapias exerted by my on the table. In the second case the table raised into air was affected neither by the hands nor by the feet Eusapias. The floating table moved slowly to ground, without falling down, as usual, with polarizing. “

Chapter: The Los Angeles Sitting
Page 356: “It was clear from viewing the table tabs that on more than one occasion the table was moving. First it took the form of a wobble; then it shifted about one metre to MK´s right before returning to its position in the centre of the room, to the accompaniment of astonished comments and gasps from the sitters. The table then rose three quarters of a metre in the air.”

Chapter: Experiments of materialization with Kluski
Page 218: „Under the various important phenomena (which should be described on another occasion), I saw a long, fine hand on the end of an arm that formed in front of my eyes. This hand slowly moved through our circle towards the Medium and Mrs. Geley and touched them. It was a very nice masculine hand with a very slender wrist.“

Chapter: Movements of objects without touch
Page 262: „Suddenly we saw the paraffin pot and the heating device which it was standing on (total weight 8.35 kg), be lifted in mid air. The objects gently floated over our heads and were softly placed on the floor behind and to the right of the medium.“ Continue reading →
