Volume V

Séance Rooms

Eleven people in the dark, and a twelfth chair nobody admits to setting.

The domestic volume. Volume V is furniture: cabinets, curtains, slate boards, tilting tables, the specific Victorian parlour that was rearranged so that a spirit could be received in it. The Entities recovered here are room-bound and procedural. They arrive when the conditions are correct and they do not travel. Several were first recorded not as apparitions but as complaints about the temperature.

Records 0405 to 0505. This volume leans on transcript sources more than image sources; where a record has no surviving plate, the field record says so plainly.
