To those who knew him Home was one of the most lovable of men and
his prefect genuineness and uprightness were beyond suspicion." Sir
William Crookes - President of The Royal Society D. D. Home is
regarded by many as the greatest medium of all time. The term
'psychic' was coined as a description for his unique gifts and in
numerous tests, under laboratory conditions with imminent
scientists of the era; he was never once found to be anything other
than genuine. History paints Home as the star attraction of the
'spiritualist' drama that was all the rage on the stage that was
the second half of the nineteenth century. He lived a life akin to
that of a character in a Hollywood blockbuster, coming from a
humble background to find himself moving between the royal courts
of Europe at the behest of their figureheads and eventually
marrying into the Russian royal family. One evening in August 1852
Daniel was at the home of Ward Cheney, a businessman in
Connecticut, who is a distant relative of US Vice-President Dick
Cheney. The following is a witness account of what occurred;
"Suddenly and without any expectation on the part of the company,
Mr. Home, was taken up in the air! I had hold of his hand at the
time, and I and others felt his feet - they were lifted a foot from
the floor! He palpitated from head to foot apparently with
contending emotions of joy and fear which choked his utterance.
Again he was taken from the floor, and the third time he was
carried to the lofty ceiling of the apartment, with which his hand
and head came in to gentle contact." The Cheney event is one of
many incidents in Home's autobiography 'Incidents in my Life -Part
.1'. The book documents the amazing psychic events throughout his
life and the people who queued up to witness them. Regular sitters
included Count Alexis Tolstoy, cousin of Leo Tolstoy, Prince
Humbert - the future King of Italy, the Earl of Dunraven, Sir
Francis Galton; Charles Darwin's cousin, Napoleon III and many
more.
