‘Materialization’ Highest Achievement of Mediums Greatest Stunt at ‘Spirit Camp’ Is to Make People Believe ‘Ghosts’ Are Dead Relatives.

Note: This is the third of a series of articles by Virginia Swa'n. reporter for NEA Service and The Indianapolis Times revealing conditions at Camp Chesterfield. Ind.. the spiritualist rendezvous of America. Miss Swain spent more than a month at the camp as a school teacher on a vacation. By Virginia Swain SEA Service Writer HESTERFIELD, Ind., Aug. 27.—Materialization is what the mediums at this spiritualist camp call their finest work. It means that for an admission fee of $2 a person, you can enter the darkened seance room and not only talk to your deceased, grandparents and other spirit friends, but see their materialized forms issuing from a curtain covered cabinet in which the medium sits "entranced.” It is the most difficult for the visitors to the camp to believe and consequently the mediums usually reserve this stunt until the person is well entangled in the net of cult teachings and in a state of receptivity which will help prevent doubt as to its reality. Mrs.. Mary Murphy Lydy introduced me to this phase of spirit manifestation, at a seance in the front room of her cottage one night. Hermetically Sealed One corner of the room was curtained off by heavy black draperies which reached to the floor. The room is almost hermetically sealed, with bolted doors and shuttered windows. The only light in the room during the seance is from a miniature spirit lamp behind several thicknesses ,of dark cloth or paper. Here again, we were warned of the disastrous effects of skepticism upon the “vibrations.” We were also told that there were three forms of materializing, real materialization, transfiguration and impersonation. "But,” Mrs. Lydy assured us. “We do not have impersonation unless there is a doubter in the circle. It occurs when the spirit friends are not strong enough to produce actual materialization, but take control of the medium and force her from the cabinet to deliver their messages. ‘‘True materialization occurs when vibrations are right and the spirit friends can gather enough ectoplasm from the cirelr to build the likeness of the earth bo dies, and inhabit the forms to appe:.r to you.” Impersonation a Myth Impersonation seems to he a myth devised to explain why, in some cases, the medium Is discovered masquerading In spirit robes and speaking in the voice of the departed. Since such discoveries are made only when a skeptic attempts an expose, the explanation fits every case and satisfied the believer. Mrs. Lydy instructed her daughter and another helper to “tend cabinet.” This means to sit on each side of the curtains, encourage the spirit friends by talking to them, and form a blockade against persons too anxious to Investigate the interior of the cabinet. The medium entered the cabinet and seated herself upon an ordinary wooden chair. The curtains weredrawn. Then came the customary singing

and prayers. The singing continued longer than in the trumpet circle. “Come, Dear Spirit” At last a white robed figure issued from the cabinet. r "Come, dear spirit.” .<aid one of the helpers, ’’we are here to greet you.” A hoarse "whisper from the spirit informed the audience that this was Mrs. Lydy's "cabinet guide,” strangeenough, the first wife of her present husband, who is in “spirit life.” A shriek went up from the circle. Every one had forgotten the 7-year-old child brought in to converse with the spirit of a dead brother. The child was gazing at the spirit figure, in an agony of fascinated terror. “Now, dear child,” whispered the mother, “the kind spirit is not going to hurt you. Go right up to the cabinet and talk to her.” But no persuasion would move the child. At last the ghoulish figure, beckoning and gesticulating toward the child, vanished again into the cabinet. From the Cabinet “The spirit is insulted.” said one of the women helpers. “When we fail to greet a spirit with courtesy, it cannot stay.” Everyone looked sternly at the child who had committed such a crime. But again the curtains parted. This time it was the child’s dead

brother, a small figure in white spirit robes which stood and swayed in the opening between the curtains, calling the child's name. This spirit did not come out of the cabinet, but stayed partly behind the curtains. The child again set up a frightened wail, and the spirit, thinking it had caused enough excitement in the circle, vanished with a quick twist of the curtains. The vibrations again were getting low, and one of the medium’s helpers again suggested some singing. This time somebody struck up. "It Ain’t Goln’ to Rain No More.” And everybody joined in with gusto. The vibrations revived under this influence. Again the curtains parted and a form in black stepped forward. The women tending cabinet announced “this Is a spirit friend named John. He wants to speak to his sister." “Oh John,” I cried, in tremolo. NEXT—I watch a spirit weave ectoplasm.
