Ektoplasma (perdukunan)

Ektoplasma (saka basa Yunani ektos, sing artine "njaba", lan plasma, tegese "soko sing dibentuk utawa dicetak") yaiku istilah sing digunakake ing perdukunan kanggo nuduhake zat utawa energi spiritual "eksteriorisasi" dening medium fisik. 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]

One strange phenomena of spiritualism, once popular, was the production of ectoplasm. This was a white substance that appeared to ooze from various openings of the medium's body. It was usually made of gauze, chiffon, or cheesecloth, often soaked or treated with various substances.
