EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph, titled "Mrs. Mellon Spiritualist with Cissie the Baby Spirit," was taken in the year 1894 and is a captivating image from the book "Spookland" by Thomas Shekleton Henry, published by Clyde Publishing in 1902. The photograph features a woman, believed to be Mrs. Mellon, sitting in a chair with her arms outstretched, seemingly in a trance-like state. In her lap, an ethereal figure of a baby appears, with its tiny form shrouded in a misty, otherworldly aura. The baby, named Cissie, is often described as a spirit or apparition, adding to the spooky and mysterious atmosphere of the image. The photograph, which exudes an air of the supernatural and the uncanny, was taken during the height of the Spiritualist movement in the late 19th century. Spiritualism was a religious and philosophical belief system that gained widespread popularity during this time, which held that the spirits of the dead could communicate with the living. This belief was often explored through séances, where mediums would enter a trance state and allow spirits to manifest and communicate through them. The photograph's eerie and otherworldly quality has captured the imagination of viewers for over a century, making it a fascinating and intriguing glimpse into the past and the beliefs of the time. The image's spookiness and scariness have made it a favorite among collectors of unusual and creepy photographs, adding to the enduring allure of the mysterious and the unknown.
