EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the moment of truth during the exposure of Scottish medium Helen Duncan at a séance in Edinburgh on 11 May 1933. Five tags, each bearing the signatures of witnesses, are attached to the neckline of her undervest. The undervest was used as a disguise for the spirit "Peggy," who was believed to materialize during Duncan's séances. Harry Price, a renowned paranormal investigator, led the investigation into Duncan's mediumship along with Esson Maule, who is also seen in this series of photographs. Price was determined to uncover the secrets behind Duncan's alleged supernatural abilities, and the use of the undervest and tags was a crucial part of his investigation. The tags were sealed before the séance to ensure their authenticity and were only to be opened if the identity of "Peggy" was revealed. The presence of witnesses, including Maule, ensured that any deception would be exposed. This photograph is a significant historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the world of spiritualism and paranormal investigations during the early 20th century. It is a reminder of the intense scrutiny and skepticism that mediums and their practices were subjected to, and the lengths that investigators went to in order to uncover the truth. The photograph is part of the Harry Price archive, HPG/1/4/3 (xv), held at the National Archives in Kew, London. It is a testament to the rich history of paranormal investigations and the ongoing debate surrounding the validity of mediumship and the supernatural.
