دانلود کتاب The Gift of D D Home

Daniel Dunglas Home was unquestionably the most celebrated [and by critics, the most condemned] physical medium of the nineteenth century.
He wrote several books that are still read by thousands to this day.
Physical mediumship involves producing movement in a clearly lit room of various objects including the medium himself.
These effects were demonstrated before royalty in many countries including Napoleon III, men and women of letters and scientists like Sir Wm Crookes. Queen Sophia of the Netherlands, wrote: "I saw him four times...I felt a hand tipping my finger; I saw a heavy golden bell moving alone from one person to another; I saw my handkerchief move alone and return to me with a knot... He himself is a pale, sickly, rather handsome young man but without a look or anything which would either fascinate or frighten you. It is wonderful. I am so glad I have seen it..."
Huge numbers of famous people witnessed his feats, but most were too afraid of ridicule to have their names used.

“ Question. ‘If you are a spirit, what is your name?’
“ Answer. ‘ George.’
“ No one seemed for a moment to connect the name with any one
in particular. All at once, however, the younger of the two strange
ladies exclaimed, ‘Oh, mammal, Why, it is not George?’ then
suddenly stopped short.
“ Question. ‘What is your other name?’
“ Answer. ‘Page.’
“ I shall never forget, as long as I live, the expressions of wonder,
astonishment, and delight that succeeded each other on the expressive
faces of both mother and daughter. Though nothing to us that name,
to them it was a whole history. They were breathless with interest
and excitement.
“ Q. ‘What do you want to say to us?’
“ A. ‘I, George Page, am come to thank you for all your kindness
to me. I must have been very troublesome at times, Marianne.’
“Q. ‘Could mortal woman have done more for you than Ellen did?’
