Manly L. Sherman (1809 - 1889) was an American physician and Spiritualist trance medium, notably the co-author/source of books with William F. Lyon, including The Hollow Globe (1871), in which it is claimed that the "globe is constructed in the form of a hollow sphere, and that the interior surface which is a beautiful world in a more highly developed condition than the exterior, is accessible by a circuitous and spirally formed aperture that may be found in the unexplored open Polar Sea, and this opening affords easy navigation, by a broad and deep channel leading from one surface to the other," etc.[H]
