Spiritualism Extraordinary — 156
An enthusiastic spiritualist, when relating to a sceptic certain spiritual performances to which he could testify, said that on one occasion the spirit of his wife, who had been dead several years, returned to him, and, seating herself on his knee, put her arms around him and kissed him, much to his gratification, as she used to do when living. “You do not mean to say,” remarked the sceptic, “that the spirit of your wife really embraced you and kissed you?” “No, not exactly that,” replied the believer; “but her spirit took possession of the female medium—the future Mrs. B—— that is to be, you know—and through her embraced and kissed me.”
