MAKING FAKE GHOSTS
SCIENTIST’S NEW TRICK CONTROLLING “SPIRITS” A remarkable experiment to prove how easy it is to counterfeit psychic phenomena in a way that defies test will shortly be conducted by Professor A. M. Low, the well-known scientist and inventor. He will hold a seance at which a ghostly figure will materialise in daylight before the eyes of the spectators, move about tbe room and vanish as mysteriously as it appears. Prominent spiritualists will probably be invited to witness the experiment, which will take place in London.
“Nothing similar has ever been attempted before,” Professor Low told a London newspaper representative. “How I shall produce my figure is my secret. I shall use no mirror, I have been at work on my apparatus for several months and have now got it practically perfect.
“I guarantee to materialise a ‘ghost’ that will baffle even scientists. I shall be able to control its movements and make it vanish when I wish. It is not a challenge to spiritualism, but merely a method of showing that a figure purporting to be that of a dead person can be produced in such a way as to defy all Ordinary tests,” Spiritualists are keenly interested in Professor Low’s experiment, and it is likely that he may be asked to repeat it at a public seance.
