Ectoplasm (parapsychology)



In parapsychology, ectoplasm (From the Greek ektos, “outside,” + plasma, “something formed or molded”) is a term coined by Charles Richet to denote a substance or spiritual energy "exteriorized" by physical mediums. Sometimes materializations of spirits are formed from this substance, and some say that it makes psychokinesis possible.
