London and the Alien Autopsy Film
On 17 August 1995 television in twenty countries ran a black-and-white film of figures in protective suits dissecting a humanoid body, said to have been shot at Roswell in 1947. It was sold by the London music producer Ray Santilli. Kodak said the edge codes belonged to stock made in 1927, 1947 or 1967 — but only a blank offcut was ever handed over for testing. In 2006 Santilli admitted on Sky that the original had degraded and that what the world saw was filmed in a Camden flat, the dummy stuffed with sheep brains, chicken entrails and raspberry jam.
Kathleen Goligher and the Belfast Circle
From 1914 the Belfast engineer William Jackson Crawford studied the Goligher family circle and wrote three books about the psychic rods with which sixteen-year-old Kathleen raised the table; he weighed her, photographed her by red light and worked out an entire mechanics. After Crawford's death in 1920 the physicist Edmund Edward Fournier d'Albe took over the circle. He sat twenty times and published his report: the ectoplasm in the photographs was ordinary white cloth hanging from under her skirt, and Kathleen lifted the table with her foot, which he once saw plainly. She was not seen in public again.
