An Evening Of Victorian Mediumship

[escargot]

We have booked for this. There are only 25 places so we had to be quick off the mark.

I will of course report back.

They ought, in the 'spirit' of the thing, to only be able to get in touch with your great great grandparents.

Nope, it's about Victorian seances were conducted.

We are excited.

 

[escargot]

There's a limit of 7 participants and no audience.

We reckon this is because 7 is enough to tip the table. No.more could get round it.

Or perhaps there will be the three advertised activities at once and you choose, or circulate between them.

Techy and I will of course have one hand each on the table and one on the planchette, leaning over to observe the scrying.

 

[escargot]

Seems the Church has begun running this event regularly.

Florence Cook lives yet.

 

[Frideswide]

Florence Cook lives yet

One of my faviurites!

 

[escargot]

The event is being held regularly so there's still time for curious Forteans to pop along for a good spooking.

We're off out to it tonight so I will provide a thorough review on'ere.

If it's a true demonstration of Victorian mediumship we'll see disembodied hands and floating trumpets galore.

Dunno how they'll pull all that off but fishing line will come into it.

I'd like to see you tip this one- 3,189 metres long;

Who's going to try and pull that tablecloth off and leave the glasses?

Very much looking forward to as full a report as you can manage after this.

I'd have signed up for this in a shot.

It sounds like your church is playing with fire. What about demons showing up?

I’d hazard a guess that's several tables side by side & not one table 2 miles long.

 

[escargot]

Absolutely.

We will be home soon after it finishes. Everything will be written up.

I do hope you realise what a sacrifice this is: we had considered not taking the car so we could have a pint on way back.

 

[escargot]

Well we'll be there for a start.

Confound it, Holmes!

 

[Frideswide]

alas, no chance of that - demons only get involved in the USA!

 

[escargot]

Well, that was fun.

 

[Mercy Chaney]

Well, that was fun.

Please do tell!

 

[Frideswide]

Please do tell!

thirded!

Cake?

 

[Timble2]

Go on, go on, go on....We need to have the details! Pretty, please, with a cherry on top!!!

 

[Frideswide]

Pretty, please, with a cherry on top!!!

haven't heard that for ages! thank you

Well, it's in the Guiness book of records.

 

[hunck]

Well, it's in the Guiness book of records.

As what - the greatest number of separate tables bolted together? Or maybe it was transported there on the record-breaking 2 mile long lorry.

 

[hunck]

Confound it, Holmes!

It was a two pipe problem to be sure!

Anyway, have you wiped off the ectoplasm?

Norris McWhirter would never have stood for such shenanigans.

All I can think about is the logistics of the road closures.

It's Egypt- road rules are somewhat lax at the best of times.

Where is escargot anyway?
We've been waiting hours for the report.

Anyone got any jokes while we wait?
And who wants a brew- I'll put the kettle on.

Milk and one sugar in mine please.

 

[catseye]

I've opened the crisps! Anyone want the barbecue ones? The cheese and onion are mine.
