EDITORS COMMENTS
This undated automatic photograph captures a pivotal moment during Harry Price's investigations into the mediumistic abilities of the Schneider brothers, Rudi and Willi. The image shows a handkerchief seemingly lifting itself off a table during a séance at the Schneiders' home in Austria, 1932. Price, a renowned paranormal investigator, was known for his rigorous scientific approach to the study of psychical phenomena. The series of photographs documenting this investigation, including this one identified as HPG/1/6/2 (xxvi), provide valuable historical evidence of Price's efforts to uncover the truth behind the Schneiders' claimed mediumistic abilities. The conditions of the séances were carefully controlled, with Price and his team monitoring every detail to prevent trickery or fraudulent practices. Despite the intrigue and excitement surrounding the paranormal, Price remained skeptical and sought to apply scientific methods to the study of such phenomena. This photograph, along with the others in the series, serves as an important reminder of the historical significance of Price's investigations and the ongoing debate surrounding the validity of mediumistic abilities. The image of the handkerchief leaving the table at the Schneiders' séance raises many questions and fuels the curiosity of those interested in the paranormal. Was this a genuine psychic phenomenon, or was it an example of trickery or fraud? The answer remains elusive, but this photograph and the others in the series continue to intrigue and inspire researchers and enthusiasts alike.
