SOLID spirit forms, an experienced Spiritualist told PN last week, are being obtained at Rita Goold's Leicester home circle. Spiritualist Alan Crossley testified that one figure appeared in "a beautiful lace dress." Another manifested in "a complete military uniform with a matching cap." Mr Crossley was also reunited with his wife, who passed four years ago. In addition he stated his belief that one of the main communicators is martyred physical medium Helen Duncan. She "reminisced several incidents that were known only to me and herself." He heard her "familiar voice again."

During the entire session, Colin Fry remained securely tied and strapped to his chair, which was located in a cabinet constructed of black cloth. Tying and strapping the medium is a common practice in materialization experiments, which, especially when conducted in total darkness, can be open to charges of fraud and deceit. Binding the medium tightly, while noting and photographing the position and type of knots and straps, both before and after the session, is done to provide evidence that he or she has not moved during the manifestation phenomenon. An audiotaping of the session was made by the NAS. At its beginning, Dowding is heard uttering the words "jolly nice" a number of times.

A WOMAN TOLD police she'd run over a huge Dalmatian - but it turned out to be a drunk party-goer riding his bicycle while still in costume. It was a man dressed in a spotty doggy suit. His crumpled bike was nearby
The man had jumped a red light and was hit by a car coming the other way at a major junction.
The terrified woman rang police and told them that she'd hit an enormous Dalmatian. But when the 32-year-old got out of her car she saw it was a man dressed in a spotty doggy suit. His crumpled bike was nearby.
The man later told officers he had been at the city carnival and was drunk. He said he could not remember going through a red light but added he didn't recall much of the trip home until he landed on a car bonnet and hit the windscreen.
Police in Nuremberg, Germany, say they are now considering what if any charges to bring against the drunk biking dog man. They said he was lucky to escape with just a few cuts and bruises.

It is perhaps a mark of Britain's proudly-worn reputation for eccentricity that one of its least heralded yet highly dangerous sporting events sees competitors risk life and limb in the name of dairy produce.
Twenty-one people were hurt during Friday's annual cheese rolling race at Cooper's Hill in Gloucestershire, central England, where competitors pelt recklessly down a steep slope in pursuit of a 32 kilogram cheese.
Each of the four races saw around 20 men and women run and then often roll, or somersault, headlong down the hill in pursuit of the double Gloucester cheese, with many walking away bruised and bleeding.
Of the 21 injuries, five were serious, including a broken ankle, concussion and a dislocated shoulder, volunteer medical staff said.
"It was an average number really. It's what we've come to expect. It's mainly cuts and bruises," a spokesman for the St John's Ambulance brigade said.
The rewards for such peril are, of course, minimal.
The winners receives the rather dented cheese, while the runner-up gets five pounds and third place secures a princely three pounds.
Yet modern day winners can count themselves lucky.
From 1941 to 1954, when Britain faced food rationing during and after World War II, competitors raced for a wooden cheese containing just a piece of the real stuff inserted into a small hole.

The American version of the hit BBC series The Office has been panned by test audiences.
It received the worst ratings for a sitcom in NBC TV's history, reports the Daily Mirror.
Viewers were understood to have failed to understand that the fly-on-the-wall documentary was meant to be funny.
NBC bosses have now shelved plans to remake 22 episodes, and instead decided to make only six.
A TV insider said: "Americans are used to sitcoms where good-looking people sit on a sofa and crack a joke every 15 seconds.
"The Office is just not like that."
Ricky Gervais, star of the BBC show as office manager David Brent, is executive producer of the US version.
