1874 Cast Franek Glove Kluski Mediumship Presence Pseudonym Richet Spirit Warsaw Made Paranormal
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of spiritualism and paranormal investigation. The image shows a spirit glove cast, known as the Kluski Spirit Glove, which was created in Warsaw, Poland, in 1920. The glove was made in the presence of renowned researchers and investigators, including Dr. Gabriel Janosik-Kluski, who went by the pseudonym Franek Kluski, Professor Charles Richet, and Dr. Gaston Maurice Geley. The Kluski Spirit Glove is an essential artifact in the annals of spiritualism, a spiritual movement that gained popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Spiritualism is based on the belief that the spirits of the deceased can communicate with the living. Mediums, such as Kluski, were believed to be able to facilitate these communications. During séances, Kluski would don the spirit glove, which was believed to be imbued with spiritual energy. The glove would then allegedly move and form shapes on its own, providing evidence of the presence of spirits. The glove's movements were often documented through the use of photographic plates, as seen in this image. The presence of Richet and Geley, two respected scientists and paranormal investigators, lends credibility to the authenticity of the spirit glove and the phenomena it was said to produce. Richet was a Nobel laureate in Physiology or Medicine, while Geley was a prominent psychical researcher. Their involvement in the investigation of the Kluski Spirit Glove adds a layer of scientific rigor to the study of spiritualism and mediumship. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique look at the intersection of spiritualism, science, and the paranormal. It serves as a reminder of the enduring curiosity and fascination that surrounds the unknown and the mysteries of the human experience.
