Daniel Dunglas Home was described by Beloff as the most celebrated medium of all time, judging by the number and impressiveness of the seances of which we have records and by the caliber of the observers whom he attracted in the many countries he visited. Nothing less than a phenomena, Home conducted over 1500 seances and physic demonstrations. He was investigated by world famous scientists, his acts always conducted in broad daylight, and in settings other than his own home. No proof yet exists that Daniel Home was anything less than the real thing.
