The 1874 book Startling Facts in Modern Spiritualism (which you can read online for free using the link here) is a very astonishing account of paranormal phenomena occurring around the medium Mrs. Mary J. Hollis. The author N. B. Wolfe MD gives very many reports of the inexplicable appearance of phantom faces appearing near Mrs. Hollis. Some of Wolfe's accounts are corroborated by testimony he quotes from other writers he brought to Mrs. Hollis, such as a newspaper writer named Plimpton assigned to report on the mysterious events. On page 361 he quotes an account by a Colonel Piatt:
"After receiving four or five messages, a luminous ball, very dim, appeared at the aperture, grew lighter, resolved itself into a head, with the features clearly defined, and, for a second, gazed at us from the opening. Mr. Plimpton told me that that was his sister Mary, dead some years, and was very striking in its resemblance."
