An Orb Transforming Into a Drawing Hand?

 In the book you can read for free using this link, author Edward T. Bennett has some impressive-sounding  claims to make about the medium David Duguid and the medium Mrs. Everitt.  In the seances of David Duguid very impressive artwork would be produced while the medium was in a trance.  At the seances of Mrs. Everitt, there would reportedly occur writing at inexplicable speeds. We have a citation of  page 507 of the document here, where we have a witness claim that 280 words were written in only ten or twelve seconds;  and the page includes a quotation of such words, which make up reasonable text. We also have a citation of page 14 of the periodical here, where we have this claim:

"The following message was given by direct writing—that is, without physical contact—at a séance at which Mrs. Everitt was the medium. The circle was composed of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Everitt, Mr. and Mrs. R. Pearce, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Pearce, Mr. Morell Theobald, and Mr. R. Gale. Though the message consists of more than five hundred and fifty words it was written, as nearly as could be estimated, in about five seconds."

The passage is quoted, and it sounds reasonable enough.  The Bennett book has quite a few of the mysteriously arising drawings that occurred in the Duguid seances, and some are very impressive artwork. 

In another book on page 43 the author Jas Robertson reports his first attendance at what apparently was a seance of David Duguid (the wording is a little unclear about which medium was involved):

"At my first sitting I witnessed phenomena which I have never forgotten, and I can recollect saying to myself, when I saw a globe of light travelling from the end of the room, and assuming the form of a human hand when it reached the table, 'There never can come to me in all the future years anything which will weaken or make me deny what I am now witnessing.'
