She's all right.

Miss Tanner coming out of trance.

Premature retraction of ectoplasm

causing brief systemic shock.

Conclusion of sitting...

...2:
48 p.m.

- I spoiled your sitting, didn't I?

- Not at all.

I couldn't be more satisfied.

Take a look.

- What is it?

- A specimen of that teleplasm.

What spiritualists refer to

as ectoplasm...

...derives almost entirely

from the medium's body.

The remainder is a mixture of air,

the costume...

...fibrous remains,

food and dust, et cetera.

But the bulk of it

is organic, living matter.

An organic externalization of thought.

Mind reduced to matter.

I was visited by Daniel

again this afternoon.

Were you?

Will it never end?

Will what never end?

- Your attitude of doubt and distrust.

- Distrust?

Why should we be expected to perform

under scientific conditions?

- We're not machines, but humans.

- What's this?

I'm not a medium for fun.

It's often painful and unrewarding.

It so happens I believe mediumship

is God's manifestation in man.

When I speak, I will open thy mouth

and thou shalt say:

Thus saith the Lord.

There's nothing in the Bible...

...not one phenomenon

that doesn't occur today.

Be it sights or sounds,

shaking of the house, rushing winds...

...levitations, automatic writing

or the speaking in tongues!

Miss Tanner...

...I have no idea

what this is about but...

No!

You must go.

What are you talking about?

You know.

You're the physical medium.

You're being used.

You're not in control.

You've got to get out of here. Doctor.

- Trying to get rid of us both now?

- What do you mean?

What do you mean?

I would've thought that was obvious!

What is he saying?
