Biography:
Even today, Daniel Dunglas Home is sometimes characterized as a genuine medium because he was never caught cheating - but this seems to be a consequence of the fact that he never performed to large public audience and never subjected his abilities to testing by skeptics and scientists. Instead, he always worked to retain complete control over the conditions in which he performed and focused on performing seances with credulous hosts.
