Accused Deception Ectoplasm Mediumship Munchen Notzing Polish Presence Produces Psychic Schrenck Stanislawa Paranormal Systematic
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the controversial moment when Polish psychic Stanislawa P. produced ectoplasm during a séance in Munich, Germany, in June 1930. Surrounded by a group of scientists and investigators, including Professor Hans Schrenck-Notzing, Stanislawa is seen holding a handkerchief stained with a white, gelatinous substance, believed by some to be ectoplasm - the supposed materialization of the spirits' energy. However, this image and the events surrounding it would later be met with skepticism and accusations of deception. Stanislawa P., born in 1891, had gained a reputation as a gifted medium, with her abilities attracting the attention of scholars and skeptics alike. Schrenck-Notzing, a renowned psychical researcher, conducted numerous investigations into her mediumship, documenting her séances and publishing his findings in academic journals. In this particular séance, Stanislawa was said to have produced ectoplasm in the presence of a large audience, including Schrenck-Notzing and his team. However, just a few years later, in 1934, the German psychologist and parapsychologist Gustav Geley accused Stanislawa of systematic deception, revealing that she had been using various methods to produce the ectoplasm, including the use of her own bodily fluids and objects hidden in her clothing. These revelations cast doubt on the authenticity of Stanislawa's mediumship and the events captured in this photograph. Despite the controversy, this image remains a significant part of the history of paranormal research and the investigation of mediumship. It serves as a reminder of the complex and often contentious relationship between science, spirituality, and the human desire to communicate with the unknown.
