Charlie asked if what had happened to him in church was spiritual ? They said, “Yes., certainly, it was”. They entered a good deal into our conversation.
Lindsay fell into a trance; at first he could not, speak, but after a time in answer to a question, they said through him, “Yes, he can see sometime; he will not remember anything of it, we cannot talk through him much yet, he is not fully developed, but he will be in time."
Lindsay when awake saw spirit-forms, I saw lights occasionally, faint flashes and sparks. Home went into a trance; he walked about the room apparently settling what was to be done, then sat down, and turning to me, told me to go into the next room, and place outside the window a certain vase of flowers. I did so, putting the vase outside on the ledge and shutting the window.
Home opened the window of the room in which we were sitting.
The flowers were carried through the air from the window of the next room in at our open window. We could all hear the rustling, and see the curtains moved by the spirit standing there, who was bringing in the flowers; Lindsay saw the spirit distinctly. A flower and sprig of fern, or something of that sort, was now given to each of us; in some cases it was placed upon the hand on the table ; others were touched, and on putting down their hand, the flower was placed in it. I was touched strongly on the knee, and a sprig of box was given me.
