There are numerous accounts of apports in séance rooms of the past. What exactly is an apport? Were any of them living things or merely inanimate? – Mavis Leonard, by e-mail.
An apport is an object somehow “dematerialised” by spirit operatives, transported to another location and re-materialised. This is usually done through the psychic power of a medium in a séance room.
Recorded apports have included ornaments and coins, sometimes of historical interest, flowers, animals and very occasionally a person, when it is called transportation.
