"Our testimony is, all the spirits we have talked to have been ordinary people still interested in their earth friends. They know more than we do, because they are living in a strange country, and usually we can't see them, but they're commonplace humans for all that." — Meade Layne, "Seance Memoranda" (RR 1.4, May 1945)
