Brandon, Ruth. (1983). The Spiritualists: The Passion for the Occult in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries. Alfred A. Knopf. ISBN 978-0394527406 The MANUAL (FULL) method is a more complete simulation of the traditional procedure. Here you must make several marks for each row of a figure. Note that you should NOT count your marks as you are making them. The more marks you make the better. At least four in each row are required although a common recommendation is at least twelve. In Arabic tradition, the marks should be made from right to left, but this is not necessary here. After considering the significance of the geomantic figure appearing in each house, you can usually reflect more meaningfully on the four final figures (First and Second Witnesses, the Judge, and the Reconciler) which are interpreted exactly as for the Shield Chart. With the advent of the spiritualism movement in the 1840s, poltergeist manifestations came to be understood as attempts by departed souls to communicate with the living, perhaps with the aim of resolving unfinished business, or to seek release from an earth-bound state. The spiritualist approach to poltergeists therefore generally involves establishing a channel of communication with the departed soul by holding a mediumistic seance. In these seances the 'poltergeist' (spirit) may apparently reveal its identity using a system of coded raps, or through voice phenomena, or in writing, or by using a ouija board. Interestingly, people who later become spiritualist mediums are often the focus of poltergeist activity in childhood. Dr Nicola Holt". people.uwe.ac.uk. University of the West of England.

A survey of the beliefs of the general United States population about paranormal topics was conducted by The Gallup Organization in 2005. [27] The survey found that 41 percent of those polled believed in extrasensory perception and 26 percent believed in clairvoyance. 31 percent of those surveyed indicated that they believe in telepathy or psychic communication. In many ways, the inspired Oracles of ancient times can be likened to modern-day spiritualist trance mediums, and to psychics who channel messages that are said to come from angels, spirits, or extradimensional beings.

ISBN 978-0521347679 "The British National Association of Spiritualists emerged from a meeting in Liverpool, in August 1873, sponsored by the local Psychological Society. Attendance was not confined to spiritualists from the immediate area, and among the participants were W. H. Harrison and Thomas Everitt from London. The meeting heard several papers advocating the benefits of national organization for the expansion and consolidation of British spiritualism, and these arguments carried the day. The conference resolved to form a national association, and initiative then passed to London, where the following year the BNAS commenced its activities. From 1875, it was comfortably housed at 38 Great Russell Street, the scene of its numerous stances, both public and private, committee meetings, lectures, and social gatherings." Scientifically controlled investigations were pioneered in the nineteenth century by eminent scientists such as Michael Faraday and William Crookes, and by members of the Society for Psychical Research.
