When spirit people use a medium to produce phenomena that can be seen, heard or felt by everyone present, the medium is called a "physical medium". Because the energy used to produce the phenomena is affected by light and draws energy from several people, physical mediumship usually takes place with a group of people called "a circle" sitting in darkness. The medium usually sits in a cabinet - a curtained-off area where the energy can be condensed. The kinds of phenomena produced can include bangs and raps, objects moving with no apparent cause, spirit lights, levitating tables and other objects, causing objects to dematerialize and reappear elsewhere (apports) influencing scientific instruments without touching them, producing whispered voices and materialized hands and dozens of other "paranormal" effects.

In the most developed and rare kind of physical mediumship, scientists in the spirit world use the energy of the medium to partially or fully materialize people and animals and produce an artificial voice box so that spirits can speak independently of the medium.

DR. SUSAN BARNES INTERVIEWS A PRESENT-DAY PHYSICAL MEDIUM There are some wonderful physical mediums working today, usually in "home circles" with small groups of trusted sitters. They don't do individual readings and don't advertise so you won't find them listed in any psychic directory. Susan is a physical medium herself and is the author of "Unfolding Physical Mediumship: Historical, Philosophical, and Personal Perspectives". Here she interviews physical medium Julie Adreani.

PHYSICAL MEDIUM MARION DAMPIER-JEANS

Marion is a Danish/Norwegian medium who lives in London. In the linked interview with Lawrence Sawil, she tells some fascinating stories about her early connections with physical mediumship and how that developed in London. Watch video on Youtube.
Marion will be a guest at our Zoom Global Gathering next Sunday and will talk about Physical Mediumship in Denmark and the Nordic Countries. See details below.
