EDITORS COMMENTS
In this haunting image from the early days of spiritualist photography, we find Mr. Whiteford, a spiritualist, intently gazing at the ethereal apparition of a ghostly head resting in his lap. The photograph, taken in 1911, is part of James Coates and Fowler's collection "Photographing the Invisible: Practical Studies in Supernormal Photography," published in 1921. The book aimed to document and explore the phenomenon of spiritualist photography, a popular and controversial practice during that time. The spooky scene unfolds in a dimly lit room, with Mr. Whiteford's expression one of deep concentration and awe. The ghostly head, with its hollow eyes and translucent features, seems to radiate an otherworldly energy. The spectral apparition appears to be looking off into the distance, as if lost in thought or communing with the spirit realm. The photograph, with its eerie subject matter and atmospheric setting, exudes an aura of mystery and intrigue. It invites us to ponder the boundaries between the physical and spiritual worlds and the possibility of life beyond death. The image also speaks to the human desire to connect with the unknown and the unexplained, a fascination that continues to captivate us to this day. Despite the advances in technology and scientific understanding, the paranormal and the supernatural continue to hold a place in our collective imagination. This photograph, with its haunting image of a man and his ghostly companion, serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the mysterious and the unknown.
