Coined by a French scientists named Charles Richet in 1894, to explain a third arm that allegedly appeared from a medium named Eusapia Palladino, “ectoplasm” came from the Greek words of “ekto” and “plasma”, meaning “exteriorized substance” In its pure form, ectoplasm resembles white, transparent mucus.

While spirit energy may form mists, ectoplasm is the derivative of an attempted manifestation similar to water condensation. It can adhere to objects, while becoming quite viscous in texture and damp in appearance. Although a theoretical substance, scientists would consider ectoplasm akin to plasma because of its highly volatile state.

Some believe that ectoplasm is un-condensed spirit energy that has simply not yet formed into orbs or another anomaly. Many ghost hunters find this theory to be the most plausible!

Another plausible theory is that ectoplasm is residual spirit energy that is left behind from a spirit that was recently in the area of where the photo was taken

There are many ideas as to what causes ectoplasm or mist out there and the most current is that in Physics energy being moved would assume is natural shape of a sphere while in motion and when it stops the change in motion rearanges the atoms and they spread futher apart and can form into an image of something or someone for a short time .These Orbs can be detected with thermal scanning devices and EMF readings.

Come on Fortean Herald, I want to hear what you believe. Have you encountered the mysterious ectoplasm? Do you think anyone has at all - or was it just parlour trickery of the Victorian age - do people see it these days and if not why not?

It's not seen or mentioned much nowadays because alleged demonstrations of its manifestation were repeatedly debunked 80 - 90 years ago.
