Beraud Ectoplasm Loops Madame Marthe Mediumship Navel Sand Bisson January Nipples Paranormal
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph, taken on January 9, 1913, at the home of Madame Bisson located at 33 rue George Sand in Paris, the renowned medium Marthe Beraud, also known as Eva C, is seen in a state of deep trance, believed to be exuding ectoplasm from her navel. The ghostly substance, which appears as a milky, translucent material, forms a loop around her nipples, adding to the otherworldly atmosphere of the scene. Beraud was a celebrated figure in the world of spiritualism and mediumship during the early 20th century. Her ability to produce ectoplasm during séances was a subject of great fascination and controversy, with some believing it to be evidence of genuine psychic phenomena, while others dismissed it as a clever hoax. The photograph captures a moment in time when Beraud's powers were at their most intense, and the eerie image has since become an iconic representation of the paranormal world of the early 1900s. The setting, in the intimate and dimly lit room, adds to the sense of mystery and intrigue, making this photograph a captivating glimpse into the past and the world of spiritualism.
