FRANÇAIS CI-DESSOUS

This bent spoon was given to me by Swedish physical medium Anders Åkesson. An entranced Anders handed it to me after it appeared on the table between us during a séance.


Anders and I met in England as he was rebuilding his career after a serious fall from grace. He had been caught using a fake hand during a séance, and the scandal destroyed his reputation. Banished from the mediumship community, he fell into deep depression — before deciding to move forward by speaking openly about what he had done. He describes it as a misguided attempt to force phenomena when he felt his abilities waning. Anders now addresses the incident at the start of every séance, promising his sitters that what follows will be genuine.


FRANCAIS

Cette cuillère tordue m'a été offerte par le médium physique suédois Anders Åkesson. Un Anders en transe me l'a tendue après qu'elle soit apparue sur la table entre nous pendant une séance.


Anders et moi nous sommes rencontrés en Angleterre alors qu'il reconstruisait sa carrière après une grave chute. Il avait été surpris en train d'utiliser une fausse main lors d'une séance, et le scandale avait détruit sa réputation. Banni de la communauté médiumnique, il sombra dans une profonde dépression — avant de décider d'aller de l'avant en parlant ouvertement de ce qu'il avait fait. Il décrit cela comme une tentative maladroite de forcer les phénomènes à un moment où il sentait ses capacités décliner. Anders aborde désormais cet incident au début de chaque séance, promettant à ses participants que ce qui suit sera authentique.
