Ectoplasm
- A strange, mystical material that flows out of
any orifice and opening of a mediums body during a
seance. This paranormal substance would sometimes take the shapes of
faces,
limbs, or even an entire figure but could not
materialize until it had come out of the body of the medium. The typical
color
of ectoplasm is a creamy off-white. Quite
often this substance was warm and life like but has also been known to
be cold. This paranormal material could be doughy,
sticky, airy, smoky, or thick and syrupy. This ghostly substance was
also
known to smell like ozone. Ectoplasm often seemed to form around believers of the paranormal and open minded, and
not so much in the presence of the skeptical. Ectoplasm would form most of the time in the dark or in dim lighting.
In bright light it would vanish completely or snap back violently.
