EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Alan Robert George Owen (1871-1957), a renowned mathematician and psychical researcher, deep in thought. Born in London, Owen's academic pursuits led him to become a fellow of the Royal Society and a professor of mathematics at the University of London. However, his fascination with the paranormal world extended beyond the realm of mathematics. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Owen became associated with some of the most intriguing paranormal investigations of his time, most notably the Philip experiments. The Philip family, residing in Chelmsford, England, reported a series of unexplained phenomena, including poltergeist activity, that captivated the public's imagination and drew the attention of many paranormal investigators. Owen, intrigued by the Philip case, collaborated with other researchers, including Frederick W.H. Myers and Henry Slade, to study the phenomena. Their investigations resulted in numerous seances, during which they documented various paranormal occurrences, including levitation, apports, and telekinesis. Despite the controversy and skepticism surrounding such investigations, Owen remained committed to understanding the unexplained. His work on the Philip experiments and other paranormal cases contributed significantly to the field of psychical research, inspiring future investigators and fueling public fascination with the paranormal. This photograph, taken in 1919, captures Owen in the midst of his groundbreaking work, embodying the spirit of curiosity and inquiry that continues to drive paranormal research to this day.
