Oh it was something that came up discussing controls that seem to be make up information or claim to be people that cannot be real - for example a Native American girl named "Chlorine".
There's at least one case where it seems at first the genuine person is coming through for some time, but after a point it seems like the control will just make up things or try to impersonate that soul.
I just wonder that if the SPR had gotten good "hits" from mediums that weren't in trance if the issues related to lying or just ignorant controls would have been less of an issue.
