Is physical mediumship fraudulent?

Jkmac the reason I am citing old pictures is because physical mediumship is really a historical matter. A thing of the past. Most physical mediums had stopped operating by the late 1940s. The majority of physical mediums were operating around 1880-1940.

It might be more accurate to say investigation into mediumship is historical; as you've pointed out, groups like the SPR exposed fraud during the time you quoted here, and focused their energies on other areas of investigation. The Scole Report is the most notable effort to critically examine the phenomena in recent memory - and, sure enough, it took criticism from within the SPR.
