I have never seen physical mediumship that I didn't consider 'suspicious'. I would love to see it done properly.
Well you will be the first to know if I find one.
I do wonder if these people are kidding themselves.
I can't even find a spiritualist who is certain about this phenomena.
The thing is that it could just be that as with so many aspects of Spiritualism we nowadays are getting the watered down version. _________________ Please visit our main site
So what is Physical Medium ship .. is it like trance? I'm guessing not but honestly have no real idea _________________ as a babe drinks from its mothers breast so too does man milk mother earth
its when the medium does xercise like on a bike in the gym and is still able to do mental mediumship.its funand u keep fit _________________ my website is www.hauntedessex.com
It can mean many things EG. Producing ectoplasm in order to make a spirit appear solid, voices through a trumpet, things moving round the room, disembodied voices, that kind of thing.
The Medium produces 'physical' evidence rather than 'mental' evidence.
I'm sure he's working under cover for James Randi.....
Interestingly this is I believe Helen Duncan. We have been talking about her on the Tony Robinson Show thread.
A contributer to this site(rarely) Told me that her mother saw the original photo's of these seance's and that the ones we are familiar with have been tampered with possibly by the newspaper people.

I was reading that some physical mediums refuse to be filmed as apparently the infra red lighting required would cause them or the spirit harm.
Does anyone know about this.
Has anyone ever seen physical mediumship.
I just found one in Essex and am trying to book an appointment with them.
I was going to introduce you to a marvellous physical medium,who I have sat with many times,but found out only today that she passed on in October 2008
I wasn't at this particular seance,but have been to similar ones. here is a sample ;
Séance under bright red light on Thursday 24th May 2007
Held in lake distict
Those present: our regular sitters, Jean Duncan, Fiona Cooper, Jackie and Keith Parsons, Glenda Davies, Freda Paget, Davy Jones, Micheal Rogers, Janet, Kerry, Jenny. Second time of sitting with us : Llew Jenkins; First time in anything to do with spiritualism : Sandra and Ritchie Burton, Roxy and Matthew Knox.
Jean Duncan sat as the physical medium, Fiona Cooper to her left, and Jackie Parsons to her right. Jean talked to us checking that everyone could see every part of the room, and that the light was bright enough so that no shadows would confuse anything. On the table were three luminous rods which we have used at every séance, and our trumpet for direct voice. Jean asked us to send out beautiful thoughts, thinking of those we love in the Spirit world. The atmosphere in the room started to change almost immediately. Jean instructed us to stay alert and aware of everything with her and not to be influenced and go into an altered state because of the strength of the Spirit around us, and then asked us to examine the trumpet to make sure there were no strings or microphones or anything else inside or anywhere around it. Michael, as he looked into the trumpet, said there was something in it but he didn’t know what it was and handed the trumpet to Jean who placed it with its narrow end against the red light so that she could look into it from the wide end to see what he was talking about. What she saw was an eyeball floating in the trumpet, an eyeball with a brown iris. Jean does not accept that it is physical phenomena unless everyone present sees the same thing, so she passed it around the circle, so that each sitter could see for themselves and everyone did.
Shortly after this event, Jean went into trance and Basho, Marie Corelli, and Ayesha all kept us enthralled as they talked and answered a wide range of questions freely through Jean Duncan’s mediumship.
When jean came out of trance, the table was moving very gently, and the rod on the table had been moved. The energy of Spirit in the room was very strong, and at this point, Jackie Parsons and Fiona Cooper felt jean rise beside them. She had been lifted in her chair, and all the sitters came round to feel the gap between the chair legs and the floor, and when measured it was found to be approximately six inches. Jean floated there for a while and the energy kept building so that everyone commented on it. Jean was then tipped backwards at an angle, and her voice became distant.
She said ‘I don’t know what’s happening – it’s very dark.’
Without touching her body, Jackie and Fiona felt around her shoulders and could not feel her head at all.
Jean said ‘I’m up the chimney, they’ve put me up the chimney.’
Other sitters also felt around Jean’s shoulders and agreed that her head just wasn’t there, although we could all hear her voice. Those of us who have sat many times with Jean kept the atmosphere calm and talked to the new sitters about what was happening.
After a while, Jean said ‘I’m back,’ and her chair was very gently lowered back to the floor, while we all were marvelling at what had happened.
When we closed the circle and put the ordinary lights back on, we examined the wall and the fireplace behind where jean had been sitting : the wall was stone, and the fireplace made of stone slabs, as well as being sealed, so it was a physical impossibility for anything to actually go into the chimney.

Although I havent seen this,here is one of her transfigurations.
