Pangboche and the Yeti Hand
The monastery at Pangboche in the Khumbu kept a hand for centuries that the monks called a yeti's. In 1959 the expedition member Peter Byrne swapped several bones for human ones and smuggled the originals out — in the luggage of the actor James Stewart, by the usual telling. Tests over the years contradicted one another until 2011, when the University of Edinburgh sequenced what survived: human bone. The relic itself was stolen from the monastery in the nineties, and what remains of it is an ordinary human hand with somebody else's fingers attached.
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.
