Or for series of raps in some defined rhythmical progression, and they would come. Nor was this all. Madame Blavatsky would sometimes put her hands, or one only, on someone else’s head, and make the raps come, audibly to an attentive listener and preceptibly to the person touched, who would feel each little shock exactly as if he were taking sparks off the conductor of an electrical machine.”
