1932 Blanket Carved Chiswick Harry Haunted Investigating Investigation Investigator Investigators Joad Lying Price Private Quilt Sixteenth Walnut Headboard Paranormal
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph, taken on September 15, 1932, two renowned figures of the paranormal world, Harry Price and C. E. M. Joad, are seen lying on a sixteenth-century carved walnut bed, enshrouded in blankets, at a private museum in Chiswick. The bed, a historical relic from the 16th century, was alleged to be haunted, drawing the attention of the two investigators. Harry Price (1881-1948), a prominent psychical researcher and investigator of the paranormal, was known for his work on poltergeists, haunted objects, and spiritualism. Joad (1891-1953), a British philosopher, broadcaster, and writer, was less known for his involvement in the paranormal, but shared a keen interest in the unexplained. The bed, adorned with intricate carvings, headboard, and bedposts, appears to be an inviting yet ominous setting for their investigation. The quilt covering the bed adds an element of warmth and comfort, contrasting the eerie atmosphere of the haunted object. Price and Joad, dressed in formal attire, lie with their heads close to the bed, seemingly focused on their investigation. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, when the paranormal was a subject of fascination and intrigue for many, and highlights the collaboration between individuals from diverse backgrounds and fields of expertise in the pursuit of the unexplained. The image also underscores the historical significance of the objects that continue to captivate our collective imagination and inspire ongoing investigations into the unknown.
