Sample text

And what were the medium's sensations, during sessions? When the table was being levitated, Crawford had found, almost all of its weight was added to the weight of the medium. ' In his early experiments, the medium's muscles had reacted, as she sat in her chair, as if she were applying physical force — as it might be to her chair, holding herself down. But gradually this muscular effort had diminished; she told him that `she experiences now no sensation whatever during the occurrence of phenomena' — though the phenomena themselves had not changed.

Crawford's new findings, if he had been able to have them confirmed, as his earlier studies had been, by members of the SPR, would have compelled a radical revision of ideas about, and attitudes to, physical mediumship in the society. But Crawford, trying to catch up with his university commitments, had a nervous breakdown; and in the summer of 1920 he committed suicide. In a letter to Gow, the editor of Light, he explained that his collapse was due to overwork, and had nothing to do with the Goligher circle.

I was looking at him the whole time he was speaking.
