In short, yes . The report was that at some point during the demonstration the bulb failed and the voices increased in volume at some point. If I recall correctly, no one knew it had failed until after the demonstration, so there would have been no reason for Leslie to adjust his volume (if he was faking the seance). I'd have to re-read it but I'm not sure there was any way to connect the time the bulb failed with the time the volume increased. I wouldn't say it was conclusive but I did think it was interesting.

I'd say so too

Geogre Cranley on the mediumship of Leslie Flint
Includes recording's that he personally made during his sittings.
& interesting commentary on the mechanics involved.

Neat expression.

I think it characterises many discussions I've seen, (not necessarily on this forum).
