EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the moment during a séance in May 1931 when Scottish medium Helen Duncan is seen with a cloth wrapped around her head, which appears to be ectoplasm, a supposed supernatural substance believed to emanate from the body of a medium during spiritual communications. The end of the cloth is tucked into her nostrils, suggesting a possible connection to the phenomenon of materialisation. Helen Duncan, known for her alleged abilities to produce ectoplasm and materialise spirits during her séances, was a subject of intense interest and controversy during the early 20th century. Her séances were the focus of numerous investigations, both controlled and uncontrolled, as skeptics and believers alike sought to unravel the truth behind her supposed paranormal powers. This double photograph, possibly intended for use in a stereoscope, offers a unique perspective on the events that transpired during one of Duncan's séances. The image raises many questions: Is this evidence of genuine paranormal activity, or a cleverly staged hoax? Was the cloth wrapped around Duncan's head a genuine manifestation of ectoplasm, or was it a piece of cheesecloth or some other material used to deceive those in attendance? As we examine this fascinating historical artifact, we are transported back in time to an era when the boundaries between science, spirituality, and showmanship were blurred, and the mysteries of the paranormal continued to captivate the public imagination.
