"Helen Duncan, a British psychic, is believed to truly have materialised spirits of deceased persons through ectoplasm" HA, you're killing me. "believed to truly have materialised..." Can someone change it to a more appropriate encyclopedic phrasing?

I took out that tripe about the ghosts. ApocalypseCow 23:13, 28 January 2006 (UTC)


"Ectoplasm is also a term used to describe the vapour appearing on the wings of an aircraft when it is performing high-energy manoeuvres. ... See also St. Elmo's Fire. ... The study of this effect was the focus of the famous Philadelphia experiment."

I can't say for sure, but AFAIK these three things are completely unrelated to each other. Anybody can shed light on this? -- Syzygy 11:47, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

The article on the Philadelphia Experiment makes no mention of ectoplasm. The article's need for cleanup and verification notwithstanding, I think it's pretty well established that the focus of the experiment (real or hoax) was invisibility and/or teleportation, not ectoplasm or St. Elmo's Fire. 12.22.250.4 22:57, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Ectoplasm is also referred to in 1937, the movie Topper.

[edit] Cleanup

Is this a disambiguation page, or an article? It has too much information for a disambiguation page, IMO, but also discusses multiple independent subjects. It should be one or the other. JulesH 10:45, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

True. We should split it up. I'll start. --Hob Gadling 15:53, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
