Iki digawe ing taun 1894 dening peneliti psikis Charles Richet.[1] Sanajan istilah kasebut nyebar ing budaya populer,[2] eksistensi fisik ektoplasma ora ditrima dening ilmu pengetahuan[3][4][5] lan akeh conto sing dikatutake dibabarake nalika iku namung hoaks ikang digawe saka cheesecloth, gauze utawa bahan kimia liyane.[6][7]
