CHAPTER III
THE PRODUCTION OF SOUND WITHOUT ANY
APPARENT PHYSICAL CAUSE

If the tipping of small tables when the hands of the sitters are in contact is excepted—under which circumstances it is generally impossible to determine whether the result is psychical, or due merely to muscular action unconsciously exercised—the production of raps and other sounds is the most frequent of the phenomena under consideration.
