Beyond these phenomena are others even more spectacular but which are apt to be more contested, which we should include in our discussion of the immense domain open to human investigation. These are the spontaneous, rare and unusual cases which attract our attention. They imply extraordinary subjects, commonly known as "mediums." These phenomena surpass the paranormal ones which, as we have seen, run parallel to the normal conditions.
