Jerry Cross witnesses an entity speaking

Jerry Cross of Racine, WI, USA once took an interest in "psychic" things. Indeed, I once bought a used copy of Seth Speaks to have a spare copy for lending and it had Jerry's name in it.
 
He confirmed he was its prior owner.
 
Many years ago, he would go to seances. Of course, fraud and seances often went together. Perhaps more often than not.
 
One seance sounded pretty notable in that an entity appeared and spoke and moved about the room.
 
Jerry mentioned this to me and I later sought to record the details by interviewing him in the e-mail below. I highlighted his responses in bold.
 
A shame Jerry is no long available for further comment -- unless we held a seance?  ;)

Jerry:

The reason I take such a high interest in this is because I take a high interest in Jane Roberts’ Seth material and once there was Seth apparition while she spoke for him and he remarked that maybe later he would be able to speak from his own construction but that never happened.
But it looks like you witnessed an entity who did make that happen.
So here is what I’d like you to correct or expand upon from my memory of what you told me:
Witness: Jerry Cross
Event: Séance
Date: 1950s? Probably 1955 or 1956
Location: Indiana? A hotel in the Chicago Loop. It was an ordinary banquet or party room.
Attendance: 10? 20? ? Maybe even 25-30.
When (the medium that afternoon) went into trance, an entity materialized.
It wore robes? No it was just a plasticized material
It was cold to the touch. Yes.
It spoke. Male voice? Deep? I don't recall.
It addressed you, telling you of a reverend who it turned out did not exist. Yes. The "thing" mentioned a Methodist bishop in Indiana whom I found no record of.
It seemed to somehow move rapidly from point to point in the room. Yes.
Thank you very much, Jerry!
Regards,
 
Attached is a sketch of the Seth apparition by a witness. Seth said the witness drew his head too large, a distortion based on the witness feeling Seth was this big fount of wisdom.
 
Some Seth remarks on his own apparition:
 
"Just to appear on your plane, any construction ... must be composed of atoms and molecules.
 
"The motion and the speed varies from regular constructions. I am in this particular instance speaking through Ruburt [his name for Jane] while I have also stood by in a construction and watched him speak. At a later date I may be able, briefly, to speak from my own construction. But this will take training and I will need the use of much cooperation."
