Materialisation and medium seen together

Materialisation and medium seen together.

“On four occasions we saw a form outside the cabinet and the medium inside at the same time.” reports H. B. Gill, of London Road, Portsmouth, describing a séance with Alec Harris, the remarkable South Wales materialisation medium.

The first to materialise was an entity known as “the chemist”, who shook hands with all the sitters in the front row, then returned to the cabinet and asked a person to draw the curtain aside so that the medium could be seen in his chair.

One unexpected materialisation was an airman, whose left arm was missing and the side of his face mutilated. With emotion he said, “Look what they have done to me.”

A sitter, an Air Force officer, went over to him, examined the materialised form and confirmed the arm was missing.

The form returned to the cabinet and later came out smiling, showing both arms, with his face in perfect shape.

Then the sitters watched while outside the cabinet a mass of ectoplasm slowly built up into the form of a man, who said he was a guide to one of the visitors.

Later a woman’s spirit form, which stayed away from the cabinet too long, was seen slowly to sink to the floor until, by the time she reached the cabinet, only a small portion of ectoplasm was visible.

Gill, at sittings with three mediums, had been told that from the Other Side an Egyptian would shortly be associated with him for healing. He materialised and conversed with Gill.

Later “the chemist” showed himself again, walked to the opposite end of the room, sat in a chair and held a conversation with a sitter.

“One of the chief characteristics of these séances is that you can actually feel the materialised forms and hold quite intelligent conversations them,” says Gill.

Another excellent description with amazing proof Z. Of course in the USA all Physical Crircles had a main guide and a "Chemist" who controlled the state of the Ectoplasm. I believe this is the first reference to one I have seen frm the UK.

In Arthur Findlay's seances with John Sloan there were often references to a spirit chemist.
