1. Title: "The Enigmatic Telepath: Fred Marion's Plywood Shroud and Visor, 1933" 2.. This intriguing photograph captures the bizarre setup of a plywood shroud and visor used during paranormal investigations with the Czechoslovak vaudeville telepath, Fred Marion, also known as Josef Kraus. The image, taken in 1933, shows the extensive screening apparatus designed to conceal every part of Marion's body, leaving only his feet exposed. The purpose of this unusual setup was to test Marion's alleged telepathic abilities in a controlled environment, free from external distractions or influences. Marion, a popular figure in the world of vaudeville and paranormal entertainment, was renowned for his claimed telepathic powers. His act often involved him performing seemingly impossible feats, such as guessing audience members' thoughts or identifying hidden objects. However, skeptics and investigators sought to prove or disprove these claims through rigorous testing. The plywood shroud and visor were part of a series of tests conducted by an unknown investigative group, likely from the HPG (Historical Paranormal Group) or a similar organization. The library or archive where this photograph is housed, HPG/1/7/15(xi), indicates that this is just one of many records documenting Marion's investigations. Despite the humorous and seemingly absurd appearance of the shroud and visor, these tests were taken seriously by both believers and skeptics, reflecting the public's fascination with the paranormal and the desire to understand the unexplained. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of paranormal investigations and the intriguing character of Fred Marion, a man who straddled the line between entertainment and the extraordinary.
