EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the moment during a seance led by the renowned Scottish medium, Helen Duncan, as she appears to manifest ectoplasm. The image, undated but believed to have been taken in the early 20th century, shows Duncan with a white cloth draped around her, revealing an otherworldly substance emerging from her mouth and forming into a twisted tail between her legs. The material, believed by some to be ectoplasm, a supposed physical manifestation of spiritual energy, was a key component of Duncan's mediumship and materialization seances. Duncan, who gained notoriety for her alleged ability to materialize spirits and ectoplasm during her seances, was a controversial figure in her time. Her seances were the subject of intense investigation by the British government, who believed her to be engaging in fraudulent practices. The investigation, which took place in 1934, led to Duncan's arrest and conviction on charges of conspiracy and fraud. Despite the controversy surrounding her, Duncan's seances continued to draw large crowds, and the image of her with the ectoplasmic material remains a fascinating and enigmatic depiction of the paranormal beliefs and practices of the past. The use of cheesecloth and the staged appearance of the ectoplasm have led some to question the authenticity of the phenomenon, but for many, the image remains a captivating and strange reminder of the bizarre and unexplained phenomena that have long fascinated humanity.
