In 1892 a commission in Milan including Cesare Lombroso and the astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli sat with the Neapolitan medium Eusapia Palladino; tables rose, hands touched sitters and Lombroso declared himself convinced.

The account
She later baffled investigators in Warsaw, Genoa and Naples (the 1908 Society for Psychical Research sittings).
The sceptical view
She was caught cheating at Cambridge in 1895 and in New York in 1910, freeing a hand or foot in the dark; she admitted that she cheated when she could.
