physical mediumship

Physical mediumship is a practice in spiritualism where a person, known as a medium, claims to communicate with spirits of the deceased. Unlike mental mediumship, which involves verbal messages, physical mediumship focuses on the materialization of physical phenomena, such as sounds, movements, or even the appearance of spirit forms. These occurrences are said to happen during a séance, often in a darkened room, where the medium facilitates contact between the living and the spirit world. Critics often question the authenticity of these phenomena, attributing them to psychological or environmental factors rather than supernatural causes.
