EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the moment when renowned Scottish medium Helen Duncan is believed to have begun emitting ectoplasm during a séance in Edinburgh, Scotland, in May 1933. The image, taken during the height of the spiritualist movement, shows Duncan in a trance-like state, with her hand holding a white glove and extending it towards a curtain. The ectoplasm, appearing as a milky substance, is visible around her hand and the glove, giving the impression that it is being forced out from beneath the fabric. The phenomenon of ectoplasm, a substance believed to be produced by mediums during spiritualist séances, has long been a subject of fascination and controversy. Skeptics argue that it is a hoax, often involving the use of cheesecloth or other materials to create the appearance of ectoplasm. However, supporters of spiritualism maintain that it is a genuine manifestation of the paranormal. This photograph, taken during an investigation led by the Society for Psychical Research, adds to the historical record of mediumship and the unexplained phenomena associated with it. The image has been the subject of much debate and analysis, with some suggesting that the ectoplasm may have been produced through the use of trickery or that it is an authentic manifestation of the spirit world. Regardless of the explanation, this photograph remains an intriguing and enigmatic snapshot of a time when belief in the paranormal was widespread and the boundaries between the physical and spiritual worlds seemed more porous. The hand of Helen Duncan, reaching out from the darkness of the séance room, continues to defy easy explanation and capture the imagination of those who seek to understand the mysteries of the universe.
