The Carlos Mirabelli mediumship records

Record summary

Carlos Mirabelli was a Brazilian medium associated with claims of trance speech, automatic writing, levitation and materialization, documented in early twentieth-century Brazilian and Portuguese-language sources that continued to circulate in later psychical-research literature. The case is relevant as a regional precedent for later Brazilian mediumship and for examining how testimony, photographs and institutional reports are transmitted across decades. Evidence quality is disputed, controls were often weak, and some descriptions are retrospective or partisan rather than contemporaneous experimental records.
