''To ''the ''Editor of the Spiritual Scientist:''
{{Style S-Small capitals|Sir}}:—During a recent visit in Austin, I''' '''was fortunate enough to witness a new phase of spirit manifestations, at least, one of which I had never heard of before. These mani{{Style S-HPB SB. Restored|festations consisted of materializations of spirit-faces in the light and without a cabinet. The medium was a gentleman, by the name of Psirne. (I am not quite certain that I have spelled his name correctly.) He stood in a shady corner of the otherwise well-lighted room, at the residence of Mr. Barbee, and enveloped his head in a dark shawl. After a few seconds a shudder seemed to run through him; he opened the front part of the shawl, lifting the same up so as to form a sort of lady’s sunbonnet; and by looking into the said opening, I could see—{{Style S-Small capitals|not the face of the medium}}; ''but the face of a materialized spirit. ''After a few seconds the drapery fell and the same operation was repeated several times.}}
{{Style P-HPB SB. Restored}}
The spirit-faces, which I saw, were as follows:
First, appeared the face of a fully materialized Indian, with long and straight black hair and black eyes. Next came a corpse-like looking face, which I could not see distinctly enough to make out what it was. Next the deathlike looking face of a woman with glassy eyes. The next thing I saw was very ugly. It was only a half-materialized face. I could distinguished only a nose, an eye, and a part of the jaw. After this appeared the face of a man with a long, black beard, and it is well to remark here that the medium had no beard at all.
I''' '''am yours very respectfully,
{{Style P-Signature in capitals|F.H.}}
Fredericksburg, Texas, Oct. 14, 1875.
