Here's some table tipping at a seance in Mysterious Psychic Forces by Camille Flammarion, 1907.  This should be of interest: Seance Parlor Feng Shui.

This spirit communication via automatic writing, from I Heard a Voice, 1918, is a precursor to Ringfinger's gothic "Undercroft" (our favorite song that's sung from the Other Side).  The text reads, "I can't remember my time on Earth.  I don't know.  I simply can't recollect what happened on Earth."  In the song, a freshly buried speaker with a mind going dim can't remember who or where he is, nor why he is buried with a shouded stranger.  Speaking of spirit communications, see Seance Parlor Feng Shui.
