Created Ectoplasm Kathleen Legs Lifts Means Medium Mediumship Returns Subsequently Paranormal Tilts
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph, taken circa 1917, we find ourselves witness to an alleged instance of spiritual mediumship as performed by Kathleen Goligher. The image captures a moment during one of her séances, where she appears to be lifting a table by means of a strange and otherworldly apparition. The rod-like substance, which seems to emanate from between Goligher's legs, is identified as ectoplasm - a substance believed to be produced during mediumistic trances and used as a medium for spiritual manifestations. With a determined expression on her face, Goligher tilts the table, seemingly effortlessly, using this mysterious ectoplasmic extension. The paranormal phenomenon depicted in this photograph has been a subject of fascination and controversy for over a century. Mediumship, and the belief in the existence of ectoplasm, gained significant popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in Europe and the United States. Many believed that mediums, like Goligher, could communicate with the dead and produce physical evidence of their spiritual presence. However, skeptics argued that such phenomena were nothing more than cleverly staged hoaxes. The discovery of wires, strings, or other hidden mechanisms used to manipulate objects during séances fueled these suspicions. Despite this, Goligher and others continued to perform, captivating audiences with their seemingly supernatural abilities. This photograph, with its haunting and enigmatic quality, serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the unknown and the belief in the existence of the spirit world. Whether it represents a genuine manifestation of the paranormal or a cleverly staged illusion, the image of Kathleen Goligher lifting the table with her ectoplasmic rod remains an intriguing and thought-provoking mystery.
