The séances, simple explanations of the stupidity of this belief with the discussion beyond 
If there is one thing that makes me laugh (yellow) is the nickname of evidence showing of "spiritualism".
We were all young, and like many have done the trick with friends "in fashion" were doing "great 3rd of" spiritualism.
foremost, let me say that I am passionate about the paranormal, but incidentally Science, which despite what were thinking go together. Indeed
investigators pro or amateur the most competent, is primarily a rational explanation
before embarking on paranormal hypotheses.
There was the opposite of paranormal investigators, investigators of the paranormal Charlat, we call this the
Zététique (if the word means nothing to you visit this site:
http://www.zetetique.fr/ or
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z% C3% A9t% C3% A9tique )
The Zététique has its place in some university, the laboratory is based in the university of Nice Sophia Antipolis.
And when a person claims to have a "supernatural power", from years of 10aine Zététique organization inspired by the "one million dollar challenge" of the James Randi Foundation educationalist, basically offering a reward (which for France in Anyway was initially of 500 000 francs, the price was increased to 1 million francs in 1992 and 200 000 in 1999.) has anyone in the lab supervisor before scientists there have no deception (the "wizard / magician / mentalist / etc as Gerard Majax in part), prove the rationality of its power.
Alas To date, there has never been a winner my knowledge.
However as I said, I believe in the paranormal, but I have a critical view vis a vis the "everything paranormal.
But back to our mind.
I remember having believed hard as iron, which is why I always include when such
tells me "well you figure that I have done a session, and nobody touched the bin and glass spirit said things consistent. " Added to this is (or at least at the time I was in 3rd or college and I made this particular meeting) the urban legend "of a kind of spiritualism had fallen over and are Satan, and they are all dead "and other such guignolades.
short it is in this spirit (Bouhou) when I was in college and that was fashionable in spiritualism that I wanted to do for myself.
At that time I lived on the coast of Les Landes, and one of my childhood friends who was a "face" to understand, had always had excellent academic results and parents who pushed him (too ) had enrolled in a school (yes he had not repeated ^ ^) in a school very near Bordeaux (Lycée Gustave Eiffel).
And one weekend, he invited him (while his parents stayed on burgundy) his classmates from her new high school in his apartment on the coast.
Well I do not know if it is of importance, but the current does not really, they were 3, all bourgeois son (high school Gustave Eiffel was also reputed to be the school of the Bordeaux bourgeoisie, just the Lycee Henri IV of Burgundy), and my friends "C" I and another childhood friend "D"
In the evening, one of them launches "and if you did a seance! ? , Which is necessarily a "fashion" in a school, is often in another has 100 terminals.
And here we have prepared the letters of the alphabet, kidnapped the water table so that the glass slides as easily as possible and arrange the letters and a "yes" and "no."
In USA a company has even sold the "kit of little dialogue with the spirits" known as the "ouija board" ... lamentable ... brief.
So here we are gone, of course, the beginning was chaotic, 6 teens who say "the mind is you?" AC causes a lot of laughter crisis, or so some are deliberately touch the glass to move etc, in short something we all knew so young you have the "spiritualism".
As I said, hear us were not perfect, roughly "D" and I do not like too much "Bordeaux" and outside of their "first" we did absolutely nothing for them, and this is important for the future.
So after a while I ask a little more seriously, otherwise I will leave D and play a console.
Because as I said, this session it was a moment that I felt like
to do it.
So we get to ask questions without laughing, it nothing happens for several minutes.
Then at one point, the glass moves "significantly" to "yes."
I wanted to make this meeting because even young I did not lie, so I really wanted sure operation, and the whole session I constantly keep an eye on the glass, battery over there had the lamp in the living room, we saw it very well.
Although some of the "Bordeaux" need to be certified in the dark, or close their eyes, of course for me it was out of question, I did not trust them and they did not seem to take something as
seriously that I took.
Suddenly, "C" and "D" my two childhood friends in fast enough and had decided to stop, it does not interest them too much already from the start and he had been insisting that he participate.
Thus I found myself alone with the 3 Bordeaux I knew that the name
short following the relocation, it was decided to resume but I wonder and think about a girl who said talk often mind me told that she had made a meal after his meeting with friends and had a talk with the spirit of the builder of the college, and asked him the date of manufacture.
It inspired me and I decided that if we still had a movement, I ask questions that people sitting on the table could not know, and AC will not be very complicated saw them (the 3 Bordeaux knew) but not me and vice versa.
We suppress the session:
"the mind is you!?" , Answer "yes"
"spirit is someone dead?!" , Answer "yes"
"spirit we want you evil?!" , Answer "no"
Then I decided to ask me the question "trap", the first thing that came to mind (Bouhou) was to rule out the possibility that someone touches the glass (ca seemed difficult it was agreed to stay put almost 1cm glass with our fingers and I watched at all times).
And before the replies, Bordeaux became serious about it.
And so I chose mind to ask the initials of a person among us.
Why? simply because if my initial fall, the Bordelais do not know, then in my impressionable teenage mind, I am convinced that spirits exist, and I probably speak with a deceased person in my family (I laughed when retrospect).
And so I ask "spirit told us the initials of one of those present," and I realized with horror, the glass follow the direction of my initials !!!!!!!????
person had had contact with the glass, "C" had never told my initials to 3 Bordeaux, for me the proof was, "yes spiritualism is ca.
I remember not staying long, the evening was well advanced, and had walked to my house was full speed:)
But then, since I understood the operating mechanism of "spiritualism" In fact, what people (paco rabanne who says he flew gondolas ^ ^) strive to call "spiritualism" is nothing other than
Snapping To simple, and we scientists know that our body generates a weak electromagnetic field.
Magnetism is an physical phenomenon, which manifests itself through attractive or repulsive forces on the object or moving electric charges.
Our body produces, and each person does not produce the same amount, there are also more sensitive people called "hypnotist", the good as some are clearly in quackery, but the principle is like acupuncture, they share their magnetism passes their hands on some area of the body, and surely has combined the placebo effect and the power of belief, and may well be proven to be a make AC provides result in some people.
Today , Thanks to imaging, for example we can ask someone to put his hand into the machine, and you see image the magnetic field from the hand of the person.
It looks like this:

Or has the image at the beginning of the article.
And if the scientist (I found a video on youtube showing him clearly, but I searched and no way of getting his hands on it, I will add it as soon as I have found) has asked the person is concentrated on a "finger", imaging shows how the magnetic field increases in size around the finger in question.
And the report with "spiritualism" in all this? Well it is simple and scientifically proven in this way, in fact during my session, I had somewhere consciously or subconsciously want to see something, to believe or to assist me as to what the legends and the gossip that happen in my ears saying, I simply increased the magnetism, and glass sliding on the table with a minimum of force was simply driven by "myself", without my is "conscious".
Nowadays, a person with a little more magnetism than average (some people are more prone to take a dump etc), and with a scientific mind, just as I saw her again on various documentary, you move a glass without touching a few centimeters.
you need is the minimum resistance between the glass and the table (to reduce friction), arriving to control its magnetism and nothing is more simple.
What I described has nothing sensational, that limit is no secret to anyone who s interested in the paranormal and a little science. But in 2010
to see adults pay people for meetings, thinking talk tata Suzanne while the so-called "pro com with the Beyond" is simply a person familiar with the power of "magnetism", ca me somewhere débecte. After
I do not mean the fact that people need that, because it reassures them in their bereavement.
But it is in the formulation, "spiritualism", "contact spirits" that makes me laugh.
course, there are always bounded, even explaining to them that this scientific fact, you come out as they saw flying tables, and other bullshit office have said that to make it more interesting;)
Recently a newspaper was deemed even up publish and make the cover of someone telling us to speak with Claude Francois ... pitiful.
short the "spiritualism" or less paranormal phenomena of the world of beautiful days ahead.
