EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the moment during a seance in May 1931 when the Scottish medium Helen Duncan is seen emitting ectoplasm from her mouth. The image, part of the Historical Photography of Greece and the Near East collection at HPG, offers a glimpse into the strange and unusual world of mediumship and the paranormal. Duncan, known for her alleged ability to communicate with the dead, was a controversial figure during her time. Her seances were often met with skepticism and investigation, as many believed her manifestations to be fraudulent. In this particular session, she is seen producing a materialized head, which was reportedly a cut-out from a magazine, from her mouth. The photograph shows Duncan in a dimly lit room, surrounded by curious onlookers and observers. The heavy curtains draw the attention to the central figure of the medium, who appears to be in a trance-like state. The conditions under which this photograph was taken were undoubtedly controlled, with the presence of the investigators and the use of the curtain to create a more mysterious atmosphere. Despite the controversy surrounding her, Duncan's seances continued to draw large crowds, fueled by the public's fascination with the unknown and the supernatural. This photograph serves as a reminder of the strange and bizarre beliefs and practices that have shaped our history, and the ongoing human curiosity about the mysteries of the universe.
