D. D. Home's window levitation
In December 1868, at Ashley House in Victoria, London, three witnesses said the medium Daniel Dunglas Home floated out of one window and in through another, high above the street.
1868 CE · 51.50, -0.14 · status: disputed
The account
Home was never caught in fraud, and scientist William Crookes tested him in the 1870s. The witnesses were Lord Adare, the Master of Lindsay and Captain Wynne.
The sceptical view
Accounts differ on the room and the light. Sceptics suggest he stepped between balconies in the dark and suggestion did the rest.
