Rudi Schneider (July 27, 1908 – April 28, 1957), son of Josef Schneider and brother of Willi Schneider, was an Austrian Spiritualist and physical medium.[1][2] His career was covered extensively by the Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research,[3] and he took part in a number of notable experiments conducted by paranormal researchers/debunkers, including Harry Price, Albert von Schrenck-Notzing and Eric Dingwall.[4][5] Some of these researchers declared him to be a fraud while others were unable to find evidence of trickery.[3][4][6]
