EDITORS COMMENTS
In this undated photograph, Scottish medium Helen Duncan is depicted blindfolded during a séance, producing what appears to be ectoplasm and a hand emerging from beneath a cheescloth-draped table. The image is annotated with notes indicating fraudulence, making it a significant piece of evidence in the investigation into Duncan's mediumship by renowned paranormal investigator Harry Price. Price's interest in Duncan began in the late 1920s, when he became suspicious of her alleged supernatural abilities. He conducted several investigations into her séances, collaborating with Esson Maule, a magician and skeptic, to expose potential tricks and deceptions. During one séance in Edinburgh, Price and Maule discovered that Duncan was using her feet to manipulate the ectoplasm and the "hand" that emerged from beneath the table. The annotated photograph is part of a series of evidence documenting their findings, which ultimately led to Duncan's arrest and trial in 1934 for conspiracy and fraud. The photograph shows Duncan seated in a dimly lit room, with a curtain drawn around her and the table. Her blindfolded eyes are closed, and her hands are folded in her lap. The table is draped in a cheescloth, and the ectoplasm and hand can be seen emerging from beneath it. The annotations on the photograph point to various inconsistencies and signs of trickery, such as the lack of a proper seal on the table and the apparent manipulation of the ectoplasm. This historical image provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of spiritualism and paranormal investigations during the early 20th century, shedding light on the methods used by mediums like Helen Duncan to deceive their audiences and the tireless efforts of investigators like Harry Price to expose the truth.
