What Were The Alleged "Peculiar Psychological Gifts" of The Eddy Children?

     "The Eddys represent about every phase of mediumship and seership:

• rappings
• the disturbance of material objects from a state of rest
• painting in oil and water-colors under influence
• prophecy
• the speaking of strange tongues
• the healing gift
• the discernment of spirits
• levitation, or the floating of the body in free air
• the phenomena of instrument playing and the show of hands
• the writing of messages on paper upborne in mid-air, by pencils held by detached hands
• psychometry, or the reading of character and view of distant persons upon touching sealed letters
• clairvoyance
• clairaudience, or the hearing of spirit-voices
• and, lastly, and most miraculous, the production of materialized phantom forms, that become visible, tangible, and often audible by all persons present."
