Although sceptics and jornolists tried on many occassions to debunk Jack Webber's many seances and psychic / spiritualist phenemena therein
he seems to have been the only medium thus far who was not 'faking' his skills... many sceptics even being reported to have become utterly
convinced that both he, and what they heard and witnessed were completely genuine events and occurances

"...seances with Jack Webber were highly eventful, e.g. the movement of trumpets occurred
at remarkable speed that resulted in the luminous area appearing to be a straight line of light.

It was also noted that when the trumpets returned to Jack Webber, this happened with tremendous force,
but despite this, there was never any sign of the slightest injury, or even a mark on him.

The seances also included apports: during a gathering at a London location in November 1938,
Paddy, one of Jack Webber's guides, announced that he wanted to produce an apport; he chose a
bird made of brass, situated in another room.

As on many other occasions, another of Jack Webber's guides advised when a photograph
should be taken; this instruction was followed, after which there was the noise of an object
falling to the floor, and once the light was restored, the brass bird was found in the seance room.
When the photograph was developed, this showed the bird had not only been transported
from one room to another, but had passed through the medium's body assisted by ectoplasm
that was necessary to complete the process.

In the case of the levitation that occurred during the seances,

this necessitated strong ectoplasmic rods; these were seen by sitters during instances when the seances were not held in absolute darkness,or luminous articles supplied the required illumination.

In respect of the voices manifested, photographs were taken where it could be seen that an ectoplasmic form had been produced that facilitated speech from the communicators.

It was also observed that on occasions, more than one voice was heard, i.e. not only a guide speaking through Jack Webber, but a communicator, and these occurred simultaneously.

There were even instances of three voices when a guide was heard speaking, and two communicators were present and spoke some distance from the medium; again, all simultaneously.

There was also the occasion when Paddy, and Reuben, another guide, both sang, and each clearly had very different voices.

In fact, Reuben's singing of hymns was so pleasing that Decca Record Company made a recording of this.

The fact that the communications originated from actual persons was demonstrated by conversations through the trumpet,

these being conducted in different languages such as French, Swedish and Portuguese.

Harry Edwards pointed out that Jack Webber 'was an unlettered man' who rarely read a book and 'in fact, his only reading matter was the newspapers and children's comics'.

Materializations at Jack Webber's seances were recognized 'very many times' by sitters, and different ones were seen at the same time,

and as many as six different forms were observed at a single seance.

In the record of a seance in February 1940, one of Jack Webber's guides requested that the floor area be covered in white powder;

materializations appeared, and on then examining the floor, it was found that the powder had not been touched. "
