Charles Miller (medium)

[1] Miller was born in Longeville-lès-Saint-Avold, France but moved to San Francisco where he took up mediumship.

[1] He managed to convince several psychical researchers such as Willie Reichel that the manifestations were genuine.

Reichel in his book An Occultist's Travels (1908) described witnessing paranormal phenomena at many séances with Miller.

He was invited by spiritualists to Paris but during a séance it was noted that the materialization figures looked very suspicious.

[3] Charles Richet commented that Miller was exposed as an "evident fraud".
