Laboratory ghosts explained by chemistry and physics
The article outlines a theory that apparitions are chemical in origin, formed from calcium phosphide and phosphorus compounds in graves. It cites Professor W. J. McGee and Professor Charles E. Monroe, notes luminous vapors and flame from reacting phosphides, and describes how magnets and weighing methods could simulate and measure ghostly gases.
