He was badly in need of a change of linen. And so I had every reason to consider him an idealist. He talked a good real of "Karma," of "materialisations" and of the "plurality of spheres." He used many other strange words by means of which he made it clear to me that my faery would reveal herself to me only by his help. With beating heart I entered a dark room at the appointed hour.
I took my gloves off when I found we had to sit in a circle holding hands, and one of the first materialisations was announced to be that of Cleopatra." Mine! Ah, Chem! This was sufficiently startling, even apart from the mention of Chem, as the ancient name for Egypt, in a milieu of this kind!
The old man believes so thoroughly in rappings and materialisations that he constantly keeps a notebook in his pocket in which he records all the materialisations he thinks he sees and the rappings he hears, along with the time and place. Now it so happened that on the night Mrs. Vandam was taken ill, he had retired I believe in another part of the house, where he has a regular seance-room.
His hand closed upon the money and he smiled a grim smile. 'Bend low, he whispered. The Englishman bent. I wrote, and he put them about very clever man. Very few kittens now in the bazar. Ask Lone Sahib's sweeper's wife. So saying, Dana Da gasped and passed away into a land where, if all be true, there are no materialisations and the making of new creeds is discouraged.
Spirit photographs and spirit materialisations and abnormal visions or abnormal sounds amount to very little, if we look upon them as an end in themselves, and not as the symbols and the earnest of those greater things which "Eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man to conceive."
It must not, however, be supposed that in this case the materialisations went on only whilst we were singing. As a matter of fact, we were often sitting in absolute silence when fresh "spirits" appeared.
To resume my experiences with Mr Knapton Thompson. In the evening of this writing incident Mrs Gray had another public séance, at which I was again present, Mr Thompson sitting on one side of me. After some "materialisations," for other members of the circle had appeared, Mrs Gray announced that Stead's "Julia" was present in the cabinet, and wished to speak to me.
Others, again, claim that banshees are mere thought materialisations handed down from one generation to another.
