| Description | Rough notes on the capture of a spirit published in the Times, 12 January 1880, British National [Association] of Spiritualists, 36 Great Russell Street:
"One of us by a sudden intercepted & greatly held the spirit, while another dashed into the curtains & drawing them aside displayed the mediums empty chair, with the rest stripped, his dress, stockings & boots & other discarded garments."
The verso of the page notes that a letter from C. A. Burke, secretary of the British National [Association] of Spiritualists on behalf of the Council of that body, published in the Times, 15 January 1880, presents a substantially accurate account of what occured. |
