Today, Conan Doyle is best known for his detective stories, but the good doctor was also an illustrious paranormal investigator who often failed to see the frauds in front of his eyes. The creator of Sherlock Holmes declared that he was highly impressed with the clairvoyant demonstration, although he said he would need to see the ghost again before he would attest to its paranormality. Was it a genuine glimpse of a world beyond our own? The committee was divided, and while you may not be familiar with most of its members, you have almost certainly heard of the paranormal investigator – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The form drifted about the room, appearing to pass directly through the medium, before evaporating into the opposite wall. One of the committee members later asserted that the mist formed into the shape of an old woman. The medium appeared to enter into a trance, and a "luminous mist" materialised behind her. The committee members tied the medium to her chair and the lights in the room were dimmed. Next came a "materialisation" of a spirit. She divined that one of the objects was a ring belonging to the deceased son of the paranormal investigator, and even read the faded inscription. The medium held the locked box in her lap, and while the committee watched carefully, she proceeded to not only name the objects within, but to describe them in vivid detail.
Before the medium arrived all the objects were placed into a bag, which was then locked inside a box. Each member of the committee had been instructed to bring with them a small personal item or written letter.
She began with a séance which involved a demonstration of "clairvoyance".
The woman who entered the room was wearing a veil that concealed the lower half of her face. "Now at last, I have come across a genuine medium." "I have spent years performing with fake mediums all over the world in order to disprove spiritualism," declared their host. On 21 March 1919, a committee including a paranormal investigator, a viscountess, a mind reader, a Scotland Yard detective, and a coroner were all assembled in a small flat in Bloomsbury, London.
