| - An object that appears from nowhere in the presence of a medium is called, apport. These are some theories that Spiritualists have had on the subject: - The spirits brought them from another dimension - The medium used magnetism and psychic power to bring them from another dimension - Apports were previously existing objects that the spirit or medium disintegrated, teleported then reassembled in the presence of the medium - Apports were created from the material matter called ectoplasm excreted from the medium Distinctions between human beings and apparitions - When approaching an apparition, you may feel cold. - If we try to hold an apparition, our hands would go through it without resistance. - Only the human would leave footprints. - If a photograph were taken, only the human would show up. - If a sound recording were to be made, only the human voice would be heard. - After time, the apparition would disappear or gradually fade away. - The apparition might possess on-human characteristics: it might glow or transmute its appearance. |
