: illuminated and brought out an en-
e tire female figure facing that side O
: the room, the lightapparently in on,
of her hands. The form rename,
in sight fully half an hour and eacl
movement was distinctly visible
Then came the message:
".Now see me rise:'
And Immediately, in full bright.
ness, the figure rose to the ceiling, re.
manned. there few moments suspend
ed; then gently descending, disap.
peared.
"Afterward she showed herself be-
tween US and q mirror. The refiec-
: tion of the figure in the glass was
distinctly visible, the light being so
bright as to show the veins in a.mar-
BILE slab beneath.
"Here heavy shower of rain fell,
and there was spelled out: The at
mosphere has changed, cannot re-
main in form:' whereupon both
light and figure finally disappeared ~
At a setting held two days later,
the following communication was re-
eeived: "My heart is full of Joy.
We cannot be grateful enough to the
Giver Of this great boon. / have
seen your heart-the shadows that
rested upon it, the lights that now
glorify it. Be happy and fear not
Peacebe with you Away.
EsTELLE.u
So far, the upper part of the face
bad only been seen; but on the even
ing after the above message was re-
ceived namely, April 2D, the COM
plete test was obtained. After Civ
ing the details of various manifesto
tions, apparently of phosphorescent
character, Mr.. Livermore says: "At
last a luminous globe which had re-
mained stationary some six feet to
my left foated in front, and came
within two feet of me. 1t was vio-
lently agitated, cracking sounds
were heard, and a figure become Wis
able by its light. Then there was re-
vealed the full head and face of E,s-
telle, every feature and lineament in
perfection, spiritualized in shadowy
beauty, such as no Imagination can
conceive or pen describe. In her
hair, above the left temple, was a
single white rose; the hair being ap-
parently arranged with great care.
The entire head and faced faded and
then become visible again, at least
twenty times ; the perfection of re-
cognition, in each case, being in pro-
portion to the brilliancy of the light"
But, at this session, he, Mr.. L., OBJ
tanned other proof than that of sight
to confirm the reality of the appear
ance. The head of appearing
figure rested for time upon his,
the luxuriant hair dropping over
his face and into his hand. He says:
al laid hold of the hair, which
seemed, to the touch, at first indenti-
cal with human hair :; but, after a
brief space, it melted array, leaving
nothing IN my grasp"
Mr.. Owen says: I do not see how
we can reject, or explain away, such
evidence as the above, even if the re-
cord were arrested here. But what |
will the reader say when he is inn
formed that more than THREE HUN
DRED additional settings were still to
be held; all confirmatory of the
above experiences
"Here is an item touching on the |
resemblances between this world and |
the next:
Session No 93.-July 18th 1851.
Each succeeding appearance seems
more nearly perfect. This even
ing the figure of Estelle was sur
rounded by floating drapery of shin
ing, white gauze. In her hand, held
under her chin, was a bunch of flow
ers; and neck and bosom were COM
pletely covered with roses and vio-
lets.
81 asked: where do you obtain
these flowers? The answer was:
This world is counterpart ofyours.
We have all that you have-gardens
and spiritual flowers in abundance. ,"
Next month came this, among
many others:
Session No. 116.-August %. The
figure of Estelle appeared soon af-
ter we entered the room. She stood
quietly while light floated close to
face, head, and neck: as if to show
each part more distinctly. While
we were looking on, her hair fell over
her face, and she put it back sever
al times with her hand. Her hair
was dressed with roses and violets,
arranged. This was the
most perfect of her efforts: she ap-
peared almost as distinctly as in life.
"By her side stood form, dressed,
as We clearly saw, in a coat of what
seemed dark cloth. Miss Fox became
greatly alarmed and nervous. Be
cause of this, or for some other
reason, the face of this second form
was not visible and it soon disap-
pearedi The form of Estelle, how
ever remained.
"The figure must have been visi-
BILE to US, during this setting, for an
hour and q hokf"
In Session No. 137.-October 4th.
Mr.. Livermore says. "The figure
Of Estelle came in great vividness
and with extraordinary power. A
light fioated about the room and she
followed it, gliding through the air;
at one time her long, white robes
sweeping over the table, and brush
ing from 1t pencils, paper and other
light objects, which fell to the floor"
