William Eglinton

(English: William Eglinton)

English medium (1857-1933) who entered professional mediumship in 1875. He visited India in 1881 and became acquainted with Theosophists there, meeting Blavatsky and Olcott in London in 1884. De Zirkoff points to J. S. Farmer's Twixt Two Worlds and Sven Eek's Dâmodar and the Pioneers of the Theosophical Movement for further accounts. (BCW 3:503-505).

H. Kellar described a séance with him whose phenomena he considered inexplicable by trickery or sleight of hand. (B. de Zirkoff, BCW 3:488)

B. de Zirkoff dates the SS Vega episode involving him and Master K. H. to 22-24 March 1882. (B. de Zirkoff, BCW 4:xxiii)
