Perhaps the most controversial aspect of mediumship relates to the physical manifestations via ectoplasmic1 forms of spirit entities. Dr. von Schrenk-Notzing’s controversial book Phenomena of Materialization published abundant photographic evidence of ectoplasmic forms with the medium Eva C.
This is not a page turner, but a methodical description of a series of sessions with Eva C. in the production of various ectoplasmic forms. It was intended for professional investigators as well as the general public.
As might be expected, both von Schrenk-Notzing and Mrs. Bisson, his assistant, were subjected to unsubstantiated criticism, rumor and innuendo. You can download the book below in either PDF or ePub format.
