Spirit Playing On Musical Instruments Etc


The spirit forces also sometimes will see fit to play upon musical

instruments placed in the cabinet with the medium, the guitar, mandolin,

concertina, accordion, etc., being the instruments preferred in such

cases. Of course the sceptics will claim that the medium may play the

instruments himself or herself, and thus give ground for the claim of

fraud; consequently in the case of public seances, and many private

ones as well, the medium will insist upon having his or her hands tied,

and other precautions taken to eliminate the possibility of fraud and

deception. Such precautions are in no way a reflection upon the medium,

and are, in fact, demanded by many mediums as a matter of self-respect,

self-protection, and the cause of truth. In many cases in which the

mediums were entirely lacking in musical education, knowledge, or

training, the spirits have performed skilled selections of music upon

the instruments in the cabinet.
