  These descriptions are unsatisfying.

  Search William Hope. He was one of the premiere spirit photographers of the early Twentieth Century and was considered by believers and supporters to be a true master of the art of producing spirits on ordinary photographic plates. To others, he was a clever trickster and while he had more than his share of detractors, he was often accused of fraud but was never caught at it -- thanks to the controversy that surrounded the main attempt to expose him.

Psychic Photography

from North East Museums

• Jack Falstaff said:

  As I'm sure you already know, this image is a reproduction of a paper negative taken by W. Fox Talbot at Lacock Abbey in August 1835. It has often been reproduced in photographic texts and is generally accepted as the oldest surviving photographic negative. As far as I know it has never been in any way associated with psychic photography.

• Paul Jackson said:

  Jack Falstaff Yes, definitely the famous Lacock Abbey image. www.ssplprints.com/image/108641/talbot-william-henry-fox-...
