all started in the year 1948, in a quiet town called Hydesville, New York County. Two sisters, Kate and Margaret Fox, contacted the spirit of a peddler died in mysterious circumstances years ago. Soon the news spread throughout America and much of Europe. It was the birth of modern Spiritualism.
Everyone wanted to communicate with the dead. Organizations came to light spiritualists, and mediums, living gate communicating with the other hand, were requested to perform seances. These individuals, who acted as intermediaries between spirits and humans, invented a variety of interesting ways to contact the world of the dead. The table was moving one of them. The medium and the participants of the meeting, rested her fingers lightly on the table and waited for spiritual contact. Suddenly the table is tilted and moved, banging on the floor as often as I would like to communicate letter of the alphabet. Thus the mysterious force that moved the table, was spelling out the words one by one.
Another technique would be quieter automatic writing. The medium was concentrated to maintain contact with the afterlife and when produced, this began to write on paper in an uncontrolled manner, displaying messages. The pen just had to be supported on the hand of the medium and the spirit took control of writing.
An ingenious variant but with time less used, consisted of placing at the base of a small wooden plank heart-shaped, two soft rotator at the widest part, and a pencil at the tip would be the third leg, allowing the plane to rotate and write the message on a sheet of paper. But writing with planchette, was a challenge, just the instrument remained focused on the role long enough to get a decipherable message. So many preferred mediums to convey the voice of another world through an altered state of consciousness, that is, they entered into a trance.
