Lajos Pap

Various dead and living animals were discovered after his séances such as frogs, lizards, mice and snakes.

In 1928, Theodore Besterman from the Society for Psychical Research attended séances and concluded the phenomena were fraudulent.

[2] In 1935, Lajos Pap was investigated by the International Institute for Psychical Research in London by the psychoanalyst Nandor Fodor.

Pap was searched and was found to be wearing a device under his robe, where he had hidden the snake.

[3] Other psychical researchers such as Harry Price also considered Pap to be a fraud and his mediumship discredited.
