Apport (paranormal)

[3] No medium or psychic has demonstrated the manifestation of an apport under scientifically controlled conditions.

[2] In March 1902 in Berlin, police officers interrupted a séance of the apport medium Frau Anna Rothe.

A female police assistant physically examined Rothe and discovered 157 flowers as well as oranges and lemons hidden in her petticoat.

[5] In 1926, Heinrich Melzer was exposed as a fraud as he was caught in the séance room with small stones attached to the back of his ears by flesh coloured tape.

[8] Other apport mediums that were exposed as frauds were Lajos Pap and Maria Silbert.
