    Actress Estelle Stead? Her father William T Stead was a writer interested in paranormal subjects, who died on the Titanic. Estelle Stead sought contact with her father's spirit for many years after that, and wrote about her experiences in seances and with mediums. There's a spirit photograph of Estelle Stead that looks like this woman only older.

    Estelle published a 345-page biography of her father in 1913, a year after he went down with the Titanic. The book placed heavy emphasis on his interest in Spiritualism, including phenomena like spirit photographs -- an interest that she shared. Like her father, Estelle Wilson Stead was English (lived near Cambridge, England), but also had strong U. S. ties, and her book was published in New York as well as in London. The Bain News Agency probably circulated this photograph to its subscribers when the book came out. The work may now be read online, digitized by Google Books: books.google.com/books?id=zmioaaaayaaj&pg=pa292&d...

    Note to LOC -- the middle initial "H" on Bain's photo caption appears to be incorrect.

    Another Bain/LOC photo of Miss Stead has been posted on Flickr. (Its ghostly auras might have pleased her):

    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.
