Does anyone know where I could buy one of these? I don't want a newer version of one...I would like to purchase one of the old ones. Thank you!Julie16 Feb 2011 20:09 PM,UTC
Trumpets have been used in spiritualism since way back when. They are used during a spirit circle or seance and are a form of communication and physical Mediumship. The Spirit coming through the trance medium will either move the trumpet, levitate it, knock it over, or use it to speak through and the voice would be amplified so that Clairaudient could hear it louder or more clearly.Jessie20 Nov 2010 13:33 PM,UTC
I was recently given a trumpet just like the one above, minus the 'luminous ring'. Can you point me in the direction of more info about this thing?eHive copyright disclaimer
