Those spirits who will be aided are the ones leading a “sad, bitter, remorseful life” in the next world because they never rose above the material in this world. The “rescue circle” interviews these stricken spirits and instructs them, Lady Conan Doyle said, taking notes of the conversations. “Do you believe in God?” is the test applied to each. If the spirit raps three times, meaning “yes,” the circle goes || on with its advice and words of cheer.
