According to parapsychologists and ghost hunters, an apport is the paranormal transference of an article from one place to another, or an appearance of an article from an unknown source that is often associated with poltergeist activity or spiritualistic séances.[1][2][3] Skeptics say that apports reported during seances are likely the result of magic tricks.[4]
