EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a truly remarkable moment in history - the story of Anna Sciagal from Riga, Latvia, who bravely faced burglars in her home with nothing but her quick thinking and a touch of paranormal flair. In 1934, Anna heard intruders in her house and instead of cowering in fear, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Pretending to be a ghost, she conjured up illusions and apparitions that scared the burglars away.
The image is not just a snapshot of an eventful night for Anna; it also serves as a testament to human resilience and ingenuity in the face of danger. The historical significance of this photograph cannot be overstated - it showcases how one woman's courage and creativity can turn the tables on would-be criminals.
As we gaze upon this piece from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back to a time when hoaxes and tricks were used for self-preservation rather than deception. Anna's story reminds us that sometimes all it takes is a little bit of imagination to overcome even the most daunting challenges.
So let this print serve as inspiration for us all - may we channel our inner ghosts when faced with adversity, summoning our own illusions and apparitions to scare away whatever threatens our peace and safety.
