(Here Seth refers to our seance of early 1964, and some physical effects manifested in Jane’s hands. [...]

(February 7, Sunday, 10:45 PM approx.: While trying our seance with Lee and Judy Wright, I had a quick impression that a man stood to one side of me. [...]

(Strictly speaking, these episodes could be called seances, since they were given by Jane herself rather than Seth. [...]

[...] Jane said just before the session tonight that she had a slight pyramid feeling—discussed in several previous sessions—and that she had also been aware of this sensation just before a spontaneous session for her ESP class last night; and just before the 435th, seance, session.

[...] One time in particular I recall when I gave some data about Bill’s ….(grandmother?) sitting around a table; seance style. [...]

Now, the personalities that are reached under ordinary seance quote “conditions”, are not personalities such as mine. [...]

[...] We did discuss the feasibility of trying a “seance” of some kind, without doing anything about it. [...]

(Seth said he had unfortunately been involved with some other groups on our plane, in seance gatherings. [...]

[...] It will be remembered that Bill had participated in the single seance the three of us have tried, on January 1, 1964; and was scheduled to be a witness to the 36th session, March 18, 1964, but couldn’t at the last moment.[See Volume One.]

[...] He has read much of the material, and participated in the seance we tried. [...]

(“I was going to say that I got a charge out of your calling Frank Watts a fathead, at our seance the other night.”)
