description: "Florence Eliza Cook was a medium who claimed to materialise a spirit, \"Katie King\". The question of whether the spirit was real or a fraud was a notable public controversy of the mid-1870s. Her abilities were endorsed by Sir William Crookes but many observers were skeptical of Crookes's investigations, both at the time and subsequently."
