Fairchild, HelenNineteenth-century American materialization medium. Fairchild's mediumship was somewhat unconventional inasmuch as she stood outside her cabinet, from which a variety of phantom forms emerged, allegedly under the influence of her control. According to E. A. Brackett in his book Materialized Apparitions (1886), this forced "the skeptic or investigator to the conclusion that the forms are either genuine materializations or confederates." Brackett, who attended some of Fairchild's séances, reported that dematerialization of the phantom forms was sometimes witnessed before the cabinet in full view of the sitters. |
