...most ghostbusters is to expose the tricks performed by fake spirit mediums. Last week Ghostbuster Joseph Dunninger went a step farther. At a seance in the Manhattan offices of Science and Invention, in broad daylight, before 20 perplexed witnesses, he showed a number of "mystical" phenomena which fakers have not yet discovered...
...same phenomena were produced after Mr. Dunninger went behind a partition...
...receiving set was hidden in the shallow top of the table, one leg of which was equipped as an aerial, another as a ground. The phenomena were produced by the activation of an electromagnet which attracted pieces of metal cleverly hidden in the performing objects. There was even a small piece of metal concealed in the bit of chalk which did the writing, directed by a telautograph...

...this time the Engineering School is studying the foregoing phenomena. We are attempting to learn more of the electrical properties of the papers, oils, and of these electric discharges. To do this, we have already developed a precision high-voltage electric bridge which is capable of measuring very minute amounts of power at extremely high voltages, with very great precision. By means of the bridge, we are determining the electric properties of oils and papers at different temperatures and frequencies, and under different conditions of impregnation. Also, we are investigating the electrical characterisics of the electric discharges which take place...
