Physical Mediumship
Physical Mediumship is a practice in spiritualism where a medium purportedly communicates with spirits through physical phenomena. This can include the movement of objects, the production of sounds, or even the appearance of ectoplasm, which is said to be a substance that can manifest during séances.
During a séance, participants may witness these phenomena as evidence of the presence of spirits. Physical mediums often work in dimly lit environments to enhance the experience, and their abilities are sometimes met with skepticism. The practice has a long history, with notable figures like Daniel Dunglas Home gaining fame in the 19th century.
