Psychic Telephone
Psychic Telephone
An instrument invented by F. R. Melton of Nottingham, England, consisting of a box inside of which was a rubber bag connected with a pair of earphones from a radio set. The idea was that if a medium inflated the bag with his or her breath and then sealed it, the bag would take the place of the medium and direct voices would be heard through the earphones in his absence. The psychical researcher Harry Price subjected the instrument to a thorough test in the National Laboratory for Psychical Research, London. It did not work.
