Investigated repeatedly between 1893 and 1910, she convinced many distinguished scientists of her powers, including the distinguished Italian criminologist Lombroso and the British physicist Sir Oliver Lodge. She was caught in deceptive trickery as early as 1895, and the results were published. Yet believers continued to support her genuineness, as some do today, even though in an American investigation in 1910, her trickery was abundantly exposed. Two investigators, dressed in black, crawled under the table unobserved and were able to see exactly how she used her foot to create the 'supernatural' phenomena."</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-Christopher_1-6"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-Christopher_1_6-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Christopher_1_6-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Christopher_1_6-2"><sup><i><b>c</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Christopher_1_6-3"><sup><i><b>d</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Christopher_1_6-4"><sup><i><b>e</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Christopher_1_6-5"><sup><i><b>f</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Christopher_1_6-6"><sup><i><b>g</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="/wiki/Milbourne_Christopher" title="Milbourne Christopher">Milbourne Christopher</a>.
