Spiritual Telegraph

Hi all,

Following the quirky story of the God Machine we have an odd ball one.


In 1854 a group of Spiritualists petitioned congress for the money to copy Morse's telegrapg=h development with a way to communicate with Spirit by Telegram.

Of Course they did build one, well maybe one to use in seances for early evp
although this may have more of a use in modern magic shows as a "modern antique"

curious device....

Hi Mac,

Very, I look at it and think in the right energy in a seance with carefully picked people it might just work.

Cheers

Wouldn't it just be re-inventing the wheel though? What would be the purpose?

Agreed especially as I no longer remember morse code

Of course the inventor of this has a whole set of items not cheap.

Given its hard to get the real things to use in a séance you could always try these without resorting to magic.

You can also find slates this way, more easily than from any other sources http://www.hocus-pocus.com/magicshop/product_detail.cfm?item=20333
