Ectoplasm, the mysterious substance that has captivated the minds of believers and skeptics alike throughout history. From the early 20th century to present day, it has been a subject of fascination and controversy in the realm of spiritualism. One notable figure associated with ectoplasm is Helen Duncan, a Scottish medium known for her alleged ability to produce this enigmatic substance during séances. Ectoplasm would often manifest as white or translucent material emanating from Duncan's body, captivating those who witnessed it. In 1921, Danish medium Einer Nielsen also claimed to possess teleplasmic powers. He astounded audiences by producing a hand-like form made entirely during his séances. The Goligher family was another group linked to ectoplasmic phenomena. Their séances were marked by strange manifestations such as floating tables and levitating objects, accompanied by eerie strands emerging from their bodies. Margery Crandon was yet another renowned medium who showcased her connection with the spirit world through displays of ectoplasm. Photographs captured Margery surrounded by ethereal wisps and formations that defied explanation. Stanislawa P. , a Polish medium active in the early 20th century, also demonstrated remarkable abilities related to ectoplasms. Witnesses reported seeing ghostly hands formed out of this otherworldly substance reaching out towards them during her séances. Marthe Beraud's case further added intrigue to the study of ectoplasms when she allegedly produced fully-formed spirits using this elusive material. Her performances left many questioning what they had just witnessed - was it trickery or genuine supernatural phenomenon? Despite numerous claims and photographic evidence surrounding these individuals' encounters with ectoplasm, skepticism prevailed among critics who dismissed it as mere sleight-of-hand or elaborate hoaxes designed to deceive unsuspecting believers.
